From Insanity to Infinity - A Near Death Experience w/ Beach Beauchamp
What Researchers Found
The Story
Beach, a former nuclear engineer and preacher who struggled with drug addiction and mental illness, experienced two near-death events from suicide attempts. The first occurred when he tried to poison himself with carbon monoxide from a gas-powered weed eater on his mother's ranch. He blacked out and later awoke to find the device turned off, surviving when he expected to die. The second happened during an overdose of pills and alcohol. He blacked out again and regained consciousness, shocked to be alive without any visions or mystical elements. After these events, Beach believed he was saved for a purpose. He achieved sobriety in 2003, pursued spiritual growth through theology and 12-step programs, wrote the book 'From Insanity to Infinity' to process his traumas, and now helps others by volunteering with food banks and homeless shelters, embracing Christ Consciousness and healing generational karma.
