We cover reincarnation, life reviews, and gaining spiritual knowledge, with Douglas underscoring the life review's non-judgmental aspect and the impact of simple kindnesses.

| 0:00.0 | Near-death experiences have so much to teach us about what happens when we die, what happens when we |
| 0:07.6 | cross over and reach the veil, and how we can live a more meaningful, connected, fulfilling life now |
| 0:16.4 | based on those who have had these experiences and come back to tell us about them. |
| 0:22.9 | Today's episode with Douglas Hodson digs deep into people who have had near-death experiences |
| 0:30.9 | and the themes that come out of these experiences in terms of what it means to be, to have soul consciousness, what it means to connect |
| 0:40.7 | with God in the end, how we can love unconditionally, and the three big takeaways that |
| 0:49.1 | Douglas had after reviewing all of these stories on NDE's, as they're called. |
| 0:55.8 | So enjoy this episode of Life, Death, and the Space Between Podcast, where we explore |
| 1:02.5 | the spiritual revelations that come from beyond the veil. |
| 1:17.1 | Welcome, Douglas to Life, Death, and the Space Between. |
| 1:22.0 | Thank you very much, Amy, and thank you for inviting me onto your program, |
| 1:29.9 | and I'm very much looking forward to sharing my research findings with you and your audience. Tell us a little bit about how you got into this and how you started researching specifically near-death experiences, |
| 1:37.4 | and then we'll get into what you found, because what you found is fascinating and I believe |
| 1:42.4 | has the power to transform how we all live. |
| 1:44.8 | There are two books that were particularly instrumental in triggering my interest in the |
| 1:50.4 | near-death experience. The first book I read some 35 years ago when I was a professor |
| 1:59.0 | at the University of Western Australia, a book by Dr. Raymond Moody titled |
| 2:04.8 | Life After Life. |
| 2:07.1 | That, of course, was a previous edition, his pioneering work into the so-called NDE phenomenon. |
| 2:15.0 | And I was quite captivated and intrigued by what I read. But it was some time |
| 2:22.7 | before I had the opportunity to read the next book on the near-death experience. In fact, I only |
| 2:30.7 | read it at the beginning of 2018, a book by Dr. Eben Alexander. |
