#351 - Betty's NDE Following Drug Overdose
What Researchers Found
The Story
Betty Guadan, a 35-year-old former drug addict and survivor of family trauma, experienced a near-death-like event in 2019 due to a drug overdose involving heroin, methamphetamine, ketamine, a hallucinogen, and a benzo while heading to a laundromat. During the experience, she perceived reality looping and dissolving into white light and matrix code. She underwent a life review, reliving her parents' suicide and her own harms, feeling intense pain like hell. Voices from her divine masculine, father, and deceased boyfriend guided her to light. She arrived on a spaceship with souls excited for a mission to Earth for the Great Awakening. Beings showed her pre-birth plan as selecting life challenges and purposes in a grocery store. They instructed her to return to complete her mission, and she chose to re-enter her body. After the NDE, Betty healed spontaneously from heroin withdrawal, entered recovery through a 12-step program and rehab, ended prostitution and addiction, and now works for IONS as webinar coordinator and podcast host, facilitating support groups and living in service to others with a sense of purpose.
