okay I'm Reverend Bill McDonald and I started my life out I was born in San Francisco California and in 1954 I got really sick deathly sick I was U going to school in Sunnyville California and I kept going to class sick and my teacher saw me and thought I looked really bad I mean I was just really awful looking because I was having all kinds of problems with my kidneys and my lungs and everything else so she sent me the school nurse school nurse sent me home told my parents to get this kid checked on
I got home and uh nobody did anything I just laid in bed for another week or two and got weaker and weaker until my aunt visited and she said to my mother hey take this kid to a doctor he looks really terrible doctors came and visited me and and basically an hour later I was taken to the uh San Jose County Hospital which was at the time that's what it was called I don't know what it's called now we entered there and they took a look at me and they immediately strapped me into a gurnie
took me away from my parents and that was the first time I was away from home I was almost 8 and 1/2 years old at the time and it's the first time I ever really been away from never even been away for a day or a night or anything so I was taken away and I heard them telling my parents it doesn't look good looks like he brought them in too late we're not sure he's going to make it a day or two so just be prepared and unlike nowadays where parents kind of hang around
a hospital they strolled me away to you know down a hall and I'm looking at the ceiling with the lights and I'm strapped in and my parents are gone and there I am at8 and a half years old totally by myself they take me out to an isolation Ward because I had Ms I had pneumonia I had a kidney disease I had several other problems with me all related from initially just getting the Ms and the MPS that disease progressed and cascaded down through the systems you know to the lungs to the kidneys to other
functions of my body and so I found myself very very weak that first evening in the hospital and they took me into a room and they took these real long needles and they stuck them in my back going into my lungs to pump fluid out of my lungs and I went through that several times but the first night they drained it off and they got done and it was about 9:00 at night and then they put me in this room and that was it it was like okay kid we're done with you we'll see you
know tomorrow nobody tucked me in bed nobody held my hand nobody said how do you feel are you okay are you lonely nothing they just left me alone in this room turned off the lights total darkness and while I'm laying there something happened it was like this strange feeling like I got terms for it now but then I wasn't sure what it was it was like in my mind then it was like my body and my spirit you know the real me it was trying to separate it was like trying to come out of my
body and it was nothing holding it in and all of a sudden I felt myself floating above this child body below me this broken body that was really sick very thin very weak and I felt the pain in my body go away and I realized that I wasn't feeling any pain and I GL glanced down because I felt like I was floating and hovering over the body and I looked down and I felt sorry for that body it was like wow I feel sorry for that body that's in bad shape but I knew even at
that age I was not that body I was this Spirit or as I would say nowadays I was this Consciousness separated from that body but at that time it was just it wasn't me and it was separated it was like it was being pulled and lifted from the body itself like it was trying to escape but it wasn't fully gone it was there but it was like a part of me was still hanging on to it and the room got light so it was both light with lightness and light because of there was no weight
on me it was like I was I was just a feather and as I'm looking at the clouds and stuff around me all of a sudden I'm just feeling and this not going to come to surprise anybody it's I'm watching any videos on near-death experiences you feel great love everybody puts it in a different way but I think the way I described it back then because I had an Italian grandmother right you know they pinch your cheeks they hug you it was like all of a sudden I had a million Italian grandmothers pinching my cheeks
and hugging me and just loving me it was that kind of feeling it was like you're loved even though I had entered that hospital and was basically separated from my parents totally lonely and now all of a sudden I was feeling the greatest love that I've ever felt up to that time in my entire life there was just no denying it I was loved not only did I feel loved but I felt loving in return I was a part of that love there was no separation between the love I was getting the love I was
feeling and the love I was giving it was all one and then it was like clouds all around me and all of a sudden I started to seeing images like a movie was unfolding and it was just like a big pamaran of scenes a lot of people talk about they die they go through a tunnel they see the light then they have a Life review well at 8 years old you're not going to have much of a life review you pulled the dog's tail you know you teased sister or something there's no big stuff to
go over so I had something very unusual I had a cascading Kaleidoscope that was a preview of the next 50 years of my life I was 8 and a half years old and I saw pretty much everything that would have transpire my life I was almost 59 years old and I know that is true because you know it did transfer over to the real world and I found myself having Dej Vu Dej Vu Dej Vu knowing what was going to happen and everything else and I saw things I saw things like my wife who I
met in high school and and I knew I was going to marry her and then I saw us later on in life and I saw the children I was going to have and I saw the Vietnam War now this is 1954 or so Vietnam War was not on the news that's something I'd be watching on television but I saw these Strang looking helicopters I knew they were helicopters but they were strange shaped they looked like tadpoles a Huey helicopter they were just being invented then they weren't even out in the field flying around any wars
so I knew things were going to happen I saw saw the Kennedy assassination it was like I was watching it on black and white television I even saw Ronald rean getting shot I assumed that he was going to be killed I didn't see him die but I just I thought he would because I saw him getting shot but I was wrong because he didn't die which is good other than that one event that didn't come exactly as I thought it what everything else did what houses was I going to live at where I was going
to work who I was going to meet my children College all of it in front of me and later in life at the last of this presentation of images I saw myself going to India and when I was about 58 and a half almost 59 years old I saw myself in India and that's kind of where this Vision kind of ended me going to India in search of whatever wisdom or experiences or Bob's cave in this case but I knew that was kind of like where the journey was going and while I was doing that
there was a couple of numbers kept flipping around there was a two and a nine it flip over it looked like 59 sometimes it looked like 29 and I didn't know at the time what that meant I thought well maybe at 29 maybe I'm going to die or maybe at 59 maybe I'll die maybe I'll have a close call maybe there'll be some major changes in my life so all that was going on as I was laying there and you got to remember I'm laying there totally feeling loved have no clue none at all how
long it was taking had no idea when if and all these other questions that's going to get out I finally realized though that well if I'm seeing the future that means have a future so dying at that moment in that hospital that wasn't a projected future so basically I knew that I was going to be coming back it's interesting because I really didn't want to come back it was like I was happy I was content so I finally found myself drifting literally kind of just kind of drifting back down into the body and all of
a sudden I had this heavy weight that was like the body was you know th000 lbs it's when when you're like a feather floating and all of a sudden you're just heavy object this material body it's it's really difficult so I laid there and and I was no longer thinking about crying because nobody was there for me I was just feeling loved and I ended up being in that hospital in this isolation wood for weeks but I ended up being in the hospital for a year one year of pretty much mostly isolation bed rest couldn't
get out of bed had to stay in bed I found myself having nothing but time every day to do absolutely nothing I had no television no radio no books no newspapers no coloring books no toys no phones no cell phone obviously not even a landline nothing I had visitors come on Sundays usually my mother and my stepdad would come and I'd see them for 10 15 minutes and they'd be off and that would be it so the entire week I'd have 10 to 15 minutes of visiting and the rest of the time I'd be left
to my own devices I'd be in a room by myself now people have heard me tell this story and they go wow you're you're alone I mean that's really terrible and I go no was absolutely one of the best things that ever happened to me because while I was alone all that time my mind became like a playground where I could explore my inner thoughts my inner feelings I made up my own meditations so I was spending my time in bed exploring through my imagination my visualization and through my inner meditations every day I was
spending my time in this Bliss and I started having conversations with God with Jesus there was nobody else around to talk to so in my mind I was sharing everything with Jesus and that was my big thing at the time it was like I got to share this with Jesus hey Jesus here I am wouldn't be speaking out loud it's all inside my head so that kind of went on for a year when I left the hospital here were some of the things that changed which I knew all of a sudden that experience I had
had changed me when I got home I thought about the future and I thought about this 2959 maybe I'm in danger of dying at something maybe maybe I need to take better care of myself cuz I was awfully sick at that age and I was under treatment for the next six or seven years afterwards I was taking penicil and medicine and going back to the doctors for six or seven years after that year in the hospital so I was still pretty sickly I came out of the hospital and decided I was going to become a
vegetarian I decided I wasn't really going to be doing uh alcohol and drugs caffeine and nicotine and pretty much avoided all that stuff figured well if I want to stay healthy I got to change my course of Direction I got to change my frequency my vibration I got to take care of me CU I felt like there was something 29 59 waiting for me maybe I need to change I'm home about a week and I'm sitting on the sofa with my mother and all of a sudden I hear what sounds like a church choir but
it's beautiful it's all these feminine beautiful voices and it's singing and it's just and I'm looking around there's no television on no radio on no record player on nothing my mother comes in and she says you hear that and I go yeah so we both heard it and we walk through the whole house checking to see so we can find the source of this Heavenly Choir This Angelic Corral of Music it was just the vibration of it was just so loving so we went outside we walked the block down the street each Direction and looked
around wherever we went the sound never changed the volume it was always the same level and it was penetrating it was like Surround Sounds you know it was like penetrating it was there the sound would vibrate your whole body my back my my spine was just like vibrating and so we gave up trying to find the source of it my mother finally goes well you know that's probably the angels are singing to you enjoy it so we did so the next day I two dogs and my smallest dog got out ran out in front of
the house and got hit by a car car was going about 40 mil an hour flatten this dog home he's laying out the street I hear the sound of the crash I run out there and the dog's got blood coming out trickling out of its mouth its nose trickling out of its eyes out of its ears it's kind of flattened it's got a tongue hanging out practical purpos look dead I picked it up and I brought it in the house and I really really love this dog and I tried to do something for it that
I had taught myself while I was in the hospital but at the time I was in the hospital I kept thinking well if you're charging your body up with all this energy but if you're not using that energy physically where's it going so I thought it was like you're charging your inner batteries so I pictured it like I have batteries inside it when I could charge up my body and bring in through tension and and visualization of energy coming in I'd have this energy here like like my battery was charged I decided to use that
thought process on my dog so when I took the dog in the house had it on my lap and I put my hands on the dog's torn up broken body and I just energized that visualized light energy and love love coming down coming out my fingertips into the dog and it was like static electricity went and it was like boom C you know with a with a defibrillator dog got up ran around lived his rest of his life until he he was finally uh killed later on but it was years and so my time in
the hospital and my experience with the near death it taught me several things one we are loved more than we could ever imagine two we are guided there are guides on the other side I felt guided when I came home when I heard that Angelic choir it felt like I was being looked after cared after and I was protected so people talk about the ultimate question is did you ever get changed by their death experience and I'm saying yes absolutely and at 8 and 1/2 years old when it happened it changed me profoundly not only
I become a vegetarian but I also became drug- free alcohol free smoke free everything took care of myself I changed my destiny to the destiny that I foresaw and I learned something about healing in the process as well for myself for my dog and for others and so that's what I do now I go out and I teach workshops all across the world I just was speaking and doing healing process uh workshops in India this last January and I've been to Salt Lake City and New York and North Carolina all over the country and I'm
going to go to other countries over the next couple years teaching what I've learned from my first near-death experience hey fellow nde fans we have some exciting things coming up on the other side but we could really use your help and support to keep going with this channel our Outreach Team Works Around the Clock making sure to bring you the best nde stories that we can find but now we're looking to expand into to other countries to get near-death experiences from around the globe however we need your help and support to make this happen this
