FULL Extended Interview: Shared Death Experience, Death & End of Life Experiences w/ William Peters
What Researchers Found
The Story
William Peters was a 17-year-old when a high-speed skiing accident caused his near-death experience. He crushed his spine during the crash. He left his body and sailed away from Earth. He looked back at the beautiful planet and galaxy. He reviewed his entire life up to that point. The review showed how every action mattered and affected his relationships. It felt like a karmic lesson. Then he entered a beautiful, loving light. He pleaded with the light to let him return to life. He came back into his body. After the experience, Peters learned that a loving existence continues after death. His consciousness survives beyond the physical body. This changed his life. He trained as a psychotherapist and volunteered in hospice. He founded the Shared Crossing Project to study shared death experiences. He became a grief therapist and wrote a book on the topic.
