My Near Death Experience Happened 2 Months Ago, This Is My First Time Sharing ~ Steven Larussa ~ ETE Episode 130

As a Certified Master Spiritual Coach, I guide individuals in identifying, confronting, and resolving internal and external issues that impede their spiritual growth and connection. These issues often include a lack of self-awareness, limited thinking, and low vibrational feelings, thoughts, and emotions such as judgment, unforgiveness, envy, and societal and mental constructs.
Many people tend to ignore, suppress, or deny these thoughts, feelings, and emotions, which ultimately hinders their spiritual development. Having experienced a challenging spiritual awakening, including the dark night of the soul, I understand the confusion and frustration that can accompany this journey.
I am passionate about helping those who are navigating this transformative process or who feel unfulfilled and lost, seeking deeper meaning and connection in life.

Man Sees The Future in Near Death Experience ~ Bill Tortorella ~ ETE Episode 129

Bill Tortorella, Author/Artist, graduated from the School of Art and Design NYC. Bill worked as a commercial artist in NYC. He moved to Miami, Florida in 1973. The move caused a career change. He attended Mount Sinai Medical School and he became a Paramedic for Miami Dade County driving an ambulance for eight years.
A chance encounter with a stranger named Nigel Nottage (he was the lawyer for Mr. Howard Hughes in Nassau Bahamas) set Bill on a career path change once again. In February 1994 while Bill was working in his own jewelry business at a trade show in Tucson AZ, he fell prey to a killer bacterial virus. That led to the night of his Near-Death Experience. Bill has written two NDE books: “The Ninth Level of Enlightenment" and "The Wisdom of The Light,” his latest book. His message is to choose messages of Love to change the outcome.
Bill has over 4 million podcast views and thousands of wonderful comments. Bill currently does art shows and book shows and is doing speaking engagements about his NDE. He is in the new Peter Alexandria documentary film “What Every Soul Knows” coming in early 2025. Bill has been sharing Nine Principles of Enlightenment as a message to mankind.

I Healed Myself After My Spiritual Experience ~ Katie Darling MSU ~ ETE Episode 126

Katie Darling MSU* was abducted into human life by 2 atheist British physicists 73 years ago. At 18 she had a sudden STE, or  spiritually  transformative experience, in which a loving Presence enveloped and filled her, replacing much of her former atheist intellectual identity. In her 20s she took full vows as a monk and traveled the  world teaching meditation on behalf of her then-teacher.  In her 30s she crashed back down into her body and emotions and began an integrative therapeutic coaching practice combining ascension with descension, spiritual with somatic and breathwork practices, for individuals and groups, . 
In 1995 in her 40s a further, unusual 3-day awakening happened: for 3 days she was immersed in a fluid, oceanic presence that  called itself  “the Motherwave.” She was shown that the universe is all WAVES, all the  time, and shown how we can surf these waves at all levels of density, for healing, empowerment, abundance and embodied bliss. To handle the continual spontaneous download that opened up, and still continues, she founded an acclaimed mystery school now called iWave Institute which has since initiated more than 5000 of students in 7 levels of embodied awakening.
She married her true partner, Greg Andrews, in 2020 during lockdown, and they now work as One.

Near Death Experiencer Didn't Know If He Should Come Back ~ Jonathan Vanvalin ~ ETE Episode 125

Jonathan grew up in the suburbs of Seattle and led an outwardly ordinary adulthood, despite a quietly ferocious inner search. After many unexpected spiritual experiences including a near-death experience, in 2011 he left his regular life entirely and went through a sort of “final” doorway, in which a radical falling away of egoic self became the abiding ground of his being. After a few years spent nearly in silence, an inner prompt revealed a subtle healing ability, and a subsequent prompt to share what’s been received has become the prime mover of Jonathan’s life. His essential function, as he sees it, is to help people remove blocks to their awareness of their deepest being, and to live from the peace that pours forth.
