Summary
BEST EPISODE of The YEAR! Riley Courtwright shares her two Near Death Experiences (NDEs) publicly for the first time. Riley was a lifelong atheist, diagnosed with vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome that led to her organs shutting down, and ultimately her NDEs. Over the course of 18 months, Riley died twice — the first time at home after being sent away by doctors with no further options, and the second time seven months ago in St. Thomas, where she and her husband had moved so she could spend her final days. ___________________________ Text ROUNDTRIP to 64000 to get a FREE pocket pivot AND 10-pattern sprayer with purchase of any size Copper Head hose. (message & data rates may apply) ___________________________ During both NDEs, Riley describes traveling through a cosmic wormhole, receiving telepathic downloads of universal knowledge, reuniting with deceased loved ones, and hearing otherworldly music and trumpets. During her second and more profound NDE, Riley recounts being in the direct presence of God — described as bigger than the cosmos yet intimately personal — sitting in his lap, watching him expand the universe, and being shown heaven, hell, and a vision of the end of the world. She also describes a surprise encounter with Jesus after her husband baptized her in the bathtub just before she passed. Most remarkably, Riley returned to life after being clinically dead for 50 minutes, Video Version of This Episode RoundTripDeath.com Donate to this podcast: https://www.roundtripdeath.com/support/
