The Secret to Overcoming Suffering | Jonathan Van Valin Near Death Experience Part 2
What Researchers Found
The Story
Jonathan Van Valen had a near-death experience during a medical emergency when he was dying. His father recognized the situation and helped save him by getting medical attention. During the NDE, he observed his body in pain but felt no suffering because he no longer identified with it. He realized the body was not his true self and had a lesser reality. His sense of individual self dissolved as he merged into an infinite oneness of perfect peace. He chose to return to life rather than stay in that state. After the NDE, Jonathan struggled to integrate the experience into daily life and work. Over several years, a permanent sense of peace settled in. He now views life with greater kindness and forgiveness. He offers healing services by divine principles through his website AssistTheSpirit.com.
