LIVE BEYOND DEATH
ere in greenwood mississippi off and on from the age of seven until i was 18. i crossed a lot of hurdles here started first grade learned how to drive a car fell in love with the first time i also crossed another hurdle here i experienced death my paternal grandmother my brother and we all go through this of course everybody grieves but some people have a certainty that helps them cope with me they are certain they will see their loved ones again in heaven the samples is not quite that simple in fact it's the greatest question we ask ourselves what happens when we die now i'm embarking on an epic adventure to discover what we believe lies beyond death and why is there any scientific support from the soul i learn the true purpose of the afterlife for ancient egyptians oh my goodness look at all this why the story of one man's rebirth was so powerful it swept the globe it is the resurrection of jesus that proves that he's the messiah how the hindu faith erased the fear of death i accept that as an inevitable part of life and i'll explore how science is trying to capture the soul i hope to be full and human someday to bring eternal life to this life what is beyond death how can any of us know but some people think they do because they've been to the brink of death [Music] former research diver david bennett is one of those people which one are you looking at this window here one with jesus in the lower corner there he's quieting the storm back in 1983 off the california coast there was a storm 25 to 30 foot seas and so we started heading in and all of a sudden we fell off a 30-footer that fast and we just slid right off it looked up and there was the next one and it came right down on top of us i was in the bow it catapulted me into the sea and i was just tumbled and tossed like a rag doll you can only hold your breath so long [Music] you reach a point of release where you just you just let go and you breathe in salt water and it's it's quite a violent way to die no idea how deep i had i totally lost my awareness of my body in the ocean at this point then i noticed this light it was millions upon millions of fragments of light in all different colors and they were all dancing and swirling kind of like they were one mind though and it was infinite what did you think did you think of just experiencing this feeling well i mean i knew i wasn't in kansas anymore you know i knew i had left my body and as i approached this mass of light it was a familiar home and and it was a relationship just so much deeper than any relationship i'd ever had here and then i reached a certain point where these millions of fragments of light spoke and they said this is not your time you must return you have a purpose i was watching my body and i was mesmerized because i knew i was going to go back in that body and as the next set of waves came they pounded my body up against all this wreckage and pushed some of that salt water out of my lungs and that's when i found myself back in my body about how long were you in the water on yeah the the crew that were looking for me said i was there from anywhere from 15 to 18 minutes under just under the water 15 to 18 minutes yeah so you're 15 8 to 18 minutes without a breath of air right okay so david all that you've told me is it's such a story does it make you believe in an afterlife i do believe in an afterlife i believe that our being our soul whatever you may want to call it lives on and that we have opportunities to come back and i never thought of any of that beforehand i i'm it just wasn't on my radar now here we sit in this cathedral you haven't mentioned god that light that was god to me that was god so the message is from god yeah and i believe that you can find that spirituality in all different beliefs i don't subscribe to just one belief anymore i try i love my library at home has all different beliefs represented so does mine david's incredible story.The question still go on today is there live after death,David incredible story made me remember what happened few years ago
