Summary

He was dead for 90 minutes. What he saw will shatter everything you think you know! Doctors say this should have been impossible. Vincent “Vinney” Tolman wasn’t just clinically dead - he was gone for somewhere between 45 minutes and an hour and a half, with no brain activity and no chance of returning without severe damage. Yet somehow, he came back - fully conscious, forever changed, and carrying a story that has left even medical professionals stunned. What happened during that time? According to Vinney, everything we think we know about life, death, and reality is only the beginning. After an accidental overdose in a restaurant bathroom, Vinney crossed over - and what he experienced on “the other side” goes far beyond a typical near death experience. He describes leaving his body and entering a state where he could hear the thoughts and feel the emotions of others, moving through a realm where time doesn’t exist the way we understand it, and encountering a level of unconditional love so overwhelming it defies human language. In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, he shares the moment he met his spirit guide, learned how to raise his energetic frequency to travel, and underwent a profound life review, reliving not just his own actions, but feeling every ounce of pain and joy he had ever caused others. After being resuscitated and placed in a coma for 3 days, Vinney returned with 10 specific messages he says were given to him from “the other side”, including insights into: - Why we’re really here on Earth - Hidden purpose behind suffering, conflict, & evil - Why free will is essential to existence - Truth about authenticity, love, & judgment - How tech & other negative influences shape our spiritual path - Why our value has nothing to do with what others think He also reveals why he believes Earth has existed far longer than we’ve been told, how it moves through energetic cycles, and why children seem more spiritually connected. But coming back wasn’t peaceful. Vinney opens up about the dark psychological aftermath of returning to his body: waking up in a hospital, desperately wanting to go back "home", seeing what he believed were departed souls, and nearly losing himself trying to process it all. From being prescribed antipsychotics to a supernatural turning point that pushed him toward spiritual understanding instead, his journey didn’t end when he came back - it only got more intense. Now, he shares how he connects with his spirit guide, the premonitions and guidance he receives, what he believes “Earth angels” really are, and how anyone can begin connecting with their own spiritual guidance. He even links his NDE to childhood trauma, explaining how dissociation may relate to the ability to leave the body and what that means for human consciousness. Vinney believes we are currently in a global “shedding phase”, and his mission is clear: to awaken as many people as possible. This isn’t just a story about death. It’s a story about why you’re here…and what you’re meant to remember. --- Get 15% off + a FREE bottle of MassZymes ($20 value) when you go to https://bioptimizers.com/breaker and use code BREAKER.
