ANNOUNCEMENTS:

4/27/12 NDERF is in the process of bringing up a new and improved dynamic website with the latest in design and research potential.  It will probably take many months.  There will be some broken links and oddness of how the website looks during the transition.  Just let me know which links and I will fix them.

3/27/12 Dying To Be Me: My Journey from Cancer, to Near Death, to True Healing by Anita Moorjani.  Anita has been one of our NDErs who has really made an impact, both in the NDE and in giving hope for Cancer patients.  You can read her story by clicking here.  Her new book is rapidly getting a lot of attention.  Here's an endorsement from Bill Guggenheim (Hello from Heaven) :  If you read only one book during the next 12 months, choose “Dying To Be Me ~ My Journey from Cancer, to Near Death, to True Healing” by Anita Moorjani.  This profound book is well written, clear, and easy to read. It’s one of the finest books about a spiritually transformative experience (STE) I’ve ever read. If you like to read uplifting books about near-death experiences, after-death communications, out-of-body experiences, orbs, and similar topics, you’ll love this one. It will s-t-r-e-t-c-h you! Buy it, read it, recommend it, and give it to others.  Only $14.25 US at Amazon On a scale of 1 to 5 stars, this book deserves a meteor shower!
3/11/12 Divine Moments: Ordinary People Having Spiritually Transformative Experiences by Nancy Clark, revied by Ken Ring Click here to read

We are still getting a lot of media contact and people who want to connect with NDErs.  So, if you want us to contact you, make sure we have updated e-mails.  Especially if you have aol.com make sure we are on you approved sender list - otherwise, you'll never get the message we send you.

Share your experience via phone:  We now have a volunteer who will talk with experiencers over the phone so they can share their NDEs.  This is great for those who don't have access to a computer or who feel intimidated by the forms.  Please contact Jody:

Language Translator Volunteers Needed!   Contact Jody  Thanks!  We have a Norwegian one that we need help with.

Hello Hollywood & Media Writers! - Check this out!

Soul to Soulmate comes at a time when the world desperately needs more love.  This book tells you how to find your soulmate or if you already have a mate, this book tells you how to transform the relationship into one of ultimate love and respect.  As with all relationships, nothing is simple.  There are three portions in the book to understand the basis of human consciousness and behavior, the psychology of relationships and love, and then how to find your soulmate.  The chapter that I was most excited about was the study of soulmates.  In the beginning, I didn’t put a lot of credence to the “love at first sight” and thought it was really “lust at first sight.”  Just as research on this generally accepted concept proved me wrong – there are many other discoveries waiting for you to learn in Soul to Soulmates I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Evidence of The Afterlife

NEWS ALERT: Evidence of the Afterlife became a New York Times bestseller eight days after its release!  There are only 16 books on the bestseller list.  This is the book that is already changing the world! 

Order your copy today!  Now in Audio Format!

Dr. Jeffrey Long, Jody Long, and Paul Perry have teamed up to write this blockbuster book that became an instant Amazon bestseller after Dr. Long's appearance on NBC's Today Show.  You can see Dr. Long's interview by clicking here.

"Evidence of the Afterlife" is by far the largest scientific study of NDE ever presented, and is based on researching over 1300 NDEs shared with NDERF. This book is scientific in content, yet easy and a delight to read.  The people whose stories are presented span all age groups, races, and religious affiliations and come from all over the world, yet the similarities in their experiences are as awe-inspiring as they are inexplicable.  Using this treasure trove of data, Dr. Long explains how medical evidence fails to explain these reports and why there is only one plausible explanation—that people have survived death and traveled to another dimension.

"Evidence of the Afterlife" is so compelling that it will either validate your existing knowledge or it will heartily challenge your current belief system with nine lines of irrefutable evidence of the afterlife.  There are no explanations, medical or otherwise, that one can reasonably conclude after reading this book except that there is an afterlife!

10-8-11  The trilogy goes live!  After over 10 years of research and sharing astounding experiences, Jody (NDERF webmaster) takes it to another level.  See description of Jody's three new websites below:

www.soul2soulmate.org (S2S) = As I wrote about in my book From Soul to Soulmates, the lessons of the NDE are using those choices that bring more love into the world.  We start as individuals, then form soulmate relationships and ultimately, these foundations allow those of like spiritual mind to come together to heal the world.

www.bestbarter.org - This is an interactive website that serves two functions.  The first function is to educate people how to barter and how to grow food for sustenance and trade.  The second function is an ad section that barters items and services. 

www.webpeace.org Are you tired of the constant bickering, societal manipulation, chaos and fighting? I sure am!  Global Peace starts here.  Stay informed, used your critical thinking to choose love, light and peace.  What can one person do?  The answer is PLENTY. Webpeace is the website where volunteers from around the world can create and choose dynamic and inspirational projects, enjoy community, and share in whatever project they are interested in that helps others and the earth.  This is where we change the world, one group at a time.
-Jody


 


 

St. Theresa's Prayer:

May today there be peace within.

May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

May you not forget the infinite possibilities.

May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you....

May you be content knowing you are a child of the universe....

Let this presence settle into your bones, and
allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is here for every one of us.--Unknown

Regina NDE6/24/12  I remember sitting on my bed and feeling short of breath. I must've passed out because the next thing I knew, I was staring up at the ceiling and floating closer and closer to it. I began to panic, feeling claustrophobic, being so close to the ceiling that I could touch it.  In my panic I managed to turn over. As I looked down, I saw my body lying on the bed, eyes and mouth wide open. My lips were bluish-purple, and overall I looked pale blue. To the left of me there was a bright, sparkling shaft of light shining down from the ceiling right next to the bedroom door. What was unusual about this light was that it was "not" coming through the window. Scared, I knew I needed help but I couldn't go out the bedroom door, because I didn't dare to go near that strange light.  So I decided to pound on the wall in hopes of getting my brother's attention. When I had gone back to my room a few minutes ago after trying to find my father, he had been in the living room, right next to my room, watching TV. To my surprise, when I attempted to BANG on the wall, I went THROUGH it and wound up in my closet!  Once in the closet, I found some money that I had hidden from my brother. It had gotten lost during a time I had hidden it over and over in different places so he wouldn't find it, and I had finally lost track of it.   I then went through the closet wall into the living room where I saw my brother watching MTV and eating a bowl of cereal.… My brother was very embarrassed that I had seen him blow his nose in his hand and amazed that I could describe everything I had seen him do, such as eating cereal and going to the kitchen to get more, plus watching that particular music video on MTV.  Also, he remembered the hidden money incident and was glad that now I knew he hadn't stolen it. 
NDE due to asthma attack at age 12.  Interesting discovery of money she had hidden and lost as well as verified OBE observations far from her body.

Teresita Possible NDE6/23/12 Original in Spanish, translated to English by Simon.  I saw myself in a place where several things claimed my attention: the place was like a luminous city, that is it was daytime but it was not the sun which shone. I felt neither warm nor cold, the brightness was different from that of the sun, it was clear and everything could be seen with clarity. Then the people who were there wore white tunics, and what struck me was, (and I even said this to myself): LOOK, A GROUP OF PEOPLE IN THE DISTANCE TALKING, AND WITH WHAT PEACE AND LOVE THEY ARE DOING IT. In their speech they were not criticizing anyone, they were neither angry nor upset... it was as if they loved one another. I am near-sighted from childhood and I wear glasses, but I don't recall having them during the experience, and I could see very well over distance, whereas (normally) I can see nothing well without glasses. After observing the people I went towards them. There were some staircases and on each side of these there were white marble columns, everything was white, or everything was radiant, there were no dark colors, they were all light soothing tones. The light shone everywhere like daylight but everything was more luminous. It was a fantastic place, the peace there and the wellbeing I felt.
Possible NDE that happened in the hospital from a virus.

Morgan O NDE6/17/12  From Switzerland.  So I decided to use my last energy to join the teacher who was pretty far away, swam to him and grabbed his arm strongly. So the 2 decided to bring me up, they didn’t give me air, but from 240 feet it took 45 minutes.  Suddenly I came out of my physical body, looked at the scene, came closer to see and recognize myself, big shock! Then popped in a marvelous Light, so bright and yet non blinding, pure love, all knowing. I had a choice, stay (which you really want) or go back, I bought I’m 19 years old, my parents, brothers, friends will be sad (although I had no idea of what happy or sad meant, then thought, I don’t want to be born again." At that second my body surfaced and my other body(s) slapped back in my physical body with great force. It was 45 minutes later.
NDE due to scuba diving accident at 240 feet deep.

Bill D NDE6/17/12  We were hunting about 20 miles out of town. I was stung hundreds of times by hornets. My last conscious recollection was my friend carrying me into the hospital. Then I suddenly was above myself looking on.  I stuck with my body as they wheeled me into the emergency room.  Then I was in the corner of the room looking down at my body as they worked on it. It was like floating and seeing all. I recall no pain just an interest in what was going on with my body. An injection was given to my body and then suddenly I was back in feeling terrible and throwing up. I never thought twice about it until later in years as I started hearing about these happenings I realized I too had experienced this.
NDE at age 15-16 due to hundreds of hornet stings.

Jon S NDE6/17/12  I went across the street in front of my house to pick up some branches.  I grabbed a branch, looked both ways before starting across the street, took three steps into the road, and on the fourth step I found myself standing in my bedroom.  It seemed perfectly normal for me to be there.  The room was lit with a soothing bright white light.  I felt totally comfortable and natural.  There was a man in a white robe with a white beard and long white hair standing in front of the bay windows of my room.  He was looking at me and smiling.  I could tell he wanted me to look out the window.  I came near the windows and looked out.  Down in the road there were several people gathered around in a group.  The moment I saw this, everything went black.  I heard a voice in the distance saying, "Can you feel this?  Can you feel this?"  I started to see blurry forms around me, and a squeezing sensation on my foot.  I turned my head to the side and felt a hard, cold surface.  There was blood in my mouth, and I was choking on it.
NDE at age 7 from being hit by a car.

Bonnie H Probable NDE6/17/12  The dentist had instructed me to inhale the laughing gas whenever I started feeling anxious. I had no problem with that procedure and nothing particularly painful or scary was happening. One minute I was doing that, and the next minute I was in the top of a fichus tree standing in the corner. I felt like I was "one with it"; I wasn't climbing its limbs, I was just part of it. I can't describe from where or how I heard or sensed what was being told to me. It was more like I was receiving information telepathically from some source that was simply telling me all the answers to everything in the world - things that I never even cared or understood anything about, like wars, mathematical equations, solutions. The subjects were beyond vast, they were boundless, and the information about them was flying through my head faster than a millisecond. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! I was fascinated by the amount of knowledge being shared with me. I was in AWE of it and wanted to share it with others, although I simultaneously knew, somehow, that I wouldn't be allowed to take that information "back".
Probable NDE due to complication of dental anesthesia.

Belazreg H NDE6/15/12 From France. I found myself floating in a universe of nothingness. I was wearing clothes and I felt full of love - a love I cannot describe in words.  In my mind there was no past, no future, and I felt very well indeed!! I could sense that there was someone, or some kind of being, behind me. This being  turned me around without passing in front of me. Then I began to see myself through her eyes. I felt like she was communicating with me, and the message was, You are naive! This is where the experience ended.  I don’t remember coming back. I needed a year and a half in order to understand that the being behind me did not want to harm me. After all, it was she through whom I had seen myself.
NDE from gas embolism.

Alan McD NDEs. 6/13/12 From South Africa.  I saw numerous people all gathered to welcome me into the afterlife, all my beloved were there. It seemed like a welcome home party but as soon as the doctors got my heart to beat I was drawn back to the earthly world. Another time I saw a tree with a lot of books situated around it. Reading what was on the covers I saw that they contained all the knowledge and mysteries of existence. One very large book seem to consolidate what was in all the smaller books but when I tried to lift it was too heavy to carry and I decided to return later for it.  I saw a beautiful pulsating orb of golden light that I took for the Lord Jesus as it emanated perfect peace and love. I had no tunnel and meeting of a being of light I think because I was continually being resuscitated by the medical team.
Series of NDEs as the doctors resuscitated him several times during a prolonged heart attack.
