    Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this final holiday edition of The Wright Report for the week, Bryan shares economic good news, responds to listener questions about immigration, judges, and American identity, and offers a deeper reflection on what it truly means to be an American in a time of division, foreign influence, and cultural strain. Economic Bright Spots After Christmas: New data from Visa, MasterCard, and American Express show holiday spending rose between four and six percent year over year. GDP growth for the third quarter came in at a strong 4.3%, beating expectations. Bryan notes that while wealthy Americans are still doing well, middle and lower-income families continue to struggle with affordability. He argues the data supports Trump's case that tariffs and deportations did not crash the economy, but instead helped stabilize growth and reduce crime. Crime Falls as Deportations Rise: More than seventeen thousand illegal immigrants have been arrested under the Laken Riley Act, with two and a half million deported or self-deported over the past year. Early crime data suggests declines in murder, robbery, and vehicle theft. Bryan cautions the data is still incomplete but says the trend aligns with common sense and historical experience. Military Recruiting Surges: The U.S. military reported its strongest recruiting numbers in fifteen years. Bryan credits leadership changes at the Pentagon and renewed focus on mission and standards, pushing back on critics who predicted chaos under Secretary Pete Hegseth. Judges, Bias, and the Rule of Law: Listener questions focus on Democrat Judge Hannah Dugan's conviction for helping an illegal immigrant escape her courtroom. Bryan explains why jury reluctance to convict shows the cultural divide remains deep. He also defends his practice of identifying which president appointed judges, arguing that judicial bias is real and supported by Supreme Court reversal data. What It Means to Be an American: Bryan expands on Monday's debate about American identity, pushing back on Vivek Ramaswamy's claim that no American is more American than another. Drawing on the Founders, George Washington's farewell address, and the presidency's constitutional requirements, Bryan argues that allegiance, time in the country, cultural assimilation, and freedom from foreign loyalties all matter. He warns that dismissing heritage and lineage risks turning the United States into a fragmented society similar to modern Europe. Listener Questions and Reflections: The episode closes with unscripted questions on Israel, artificial intelligence and future jobs, personal interests, and Bryan's path from the CIA into broadcasting. He encourages young listeners to pursue skills that require judgment and adaptability, citing careers like the Merchant Marines as one example in an AI-driven future.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: holiday economy consumer spending GDP growth, Laken Riley Act deportations crime drop, military recruiting surge Pete Hegseth, Judge Hannah Dugan conviction immigration, judicial bias Supreme Court reversals, what is an American Founders Washington farewell, Vivek Ramaswamy citizenship debate, assimilation heritage American identity, AI jobs future Merchant Marines

    As 2025 comes to a close and we step into a new year, this episode is both a reflection and an initiation. In this conversation, Kevin brings the last threads of recent, more esoteric teachings together and grounds them into something practical, lived, and immediately accessible. This is an episode about awakening, but not awakening as mythology, fantasy, or spiritual spectacle. This is awakening as presence. Awakening as now.Kevin introduces The Brotherhood, a new entry-level community designed as the starting point for men ready to do this work. Not someday. Not when life slows down. But right here, in the middle of ordinary life. The Brotherhood is where fundamentals are restored: separating thoughts from facts, recognizing the beta condition, learning to observe the mind instead of being consumed by it, and returning again and again to the present moment. This episode explains why group coaching, witnessed awareness, and shared observation are some of the most powerful accelerators of real transformation.From there, the episode deepens. Kevin explores the question that has driven seekers, mystics, and philosophers across history: What is it? Drawing from lived experience, not dogma, he unpacks what teachers across traditions have pointed toward when they say “everything is love.” Not love as emotion, sensation, or sentiment - but love as unity, consciousness, and the underlying force animating all things. Light and shadow, fear and desire, form and formlessness are not opposites to be eliminated but movements within the same field.A central theme of the episode is presence. Kevin dismantles the idea that enlightenment is dramatic or supernatural. There is no transfiguration, no escape from life, no removal from the human experience. Awakening is simply remembering. Being here. Watching yourself think instead of being trapped inside thought. Observing perception instead of naming and categorizing reality. Presence is enlightenment, and enlightenment is available in every moment.The episode also weaves together relationship and unity through a powerful reflection often attributed to Rumi: “When I forget who I am, I'm serving you. When I remember who I am, I am you.” Kevin explains how forgetting ourselves places us in the beta condition, where unconscious behavior serves others by triggering what they need to see. Remembering ourselves restores unity, dissolves separation, and reveals every relationship - human, object, circumstance - as the universe loving itself awake through us.This is not a destination. Awakening is not permanent, fixed, or owned. It is remembered, forgotten, and remembered again. But once seen, it cannot be unseen. And once unity becomes the foreground of life, everything else - work, responsibility, identity - falls gently into the background.This episode is both an invitation and a reminder. Nothing needs to be added. Nothing needs to be escaped. Everything is already here. Everything is now. Everything is love.

    Share a commentWhat if the most breathtaking gift can't be weighed, priced, or fully described? We open Isaiah 9 and follow the thread from a simple manger to a sweeping claim: the child given to us is Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. This isn't seasonal poetry; it's a portrait of a Person whose nature makes sense of our longings, our questions, and our hope.We start with the tension everyone feels around Christmas: some gifts sparkle, but they don't satisfy. Isaiah's titles give language for why Jesus does. As Wonderful, His character doesn't fade when the lights come down. As Counselor, He knows the heart before we speak and offers wisdom that never needs revision. As Mighty God—the mighty El—He holds the paradox of power wrapped in humility, strong enough to carry a cross and still stronger to rise. As Everlasting Father, He stands as ruler and originator of the ages, reminding us that time is in His hands and our seasons aren't wasted. And as Prince of Peace, He brings peace with God now and promises a future where justice and joy dwell openly under His reign.We also unpack a striking image: “the government shall be upon His shoulder.” Drawing from Jewish wedding customs, picture a bride placing her veil over the groom's shoulder as a sign of trust and care. That's the invitation of Advent—placing the government of our lives on Christ's shoulders. Dreams, griefs, plans, and fears find their weight carried by Someone able and willing. If your holidays feel divided or your hope feels thin, this conversation will steady your faith and warm your imagination for the King who counsels, carries, and comes.Want to go deeper?

Ecological futurist Tariq Al-Olaimy has seen this firsthand in disaster-stricken communities, where church basements, mosque yards and temple networks form a "spiritual infrastructure" that sustains people long before formal aid arrives. Drawing on a decade of work with global faith coalitions, Al-Olaimy explores why spiritual traditions are uniquely equipped to navigate moments of collapse — and how aligning our inner values, economies and ecosystems may be essential to restoring life on a changing planet.

Drawing inspiration from spiritual traditions like Advent, we talk about what it means to trust the process, honor seasons of growth (and rest), and show up with intention, not just in running, but in life.We share personal reflections on how discipline can become a form of devotion, how movement can reconnect us to our bodies, and why some of the most meaningful progress happens when we stop forcing and start listening. Whether you view spirituality through a faith-based lens or simply as a deeper connection to yourself, this episode offers a gentle reminder: your body is wise, your journey matters, and you don't have to rush to become who you're meant to be.As you move through the holiday season — and into whatever comes next — we hope this conversation encourages you to run with presence, trust where you are, and step forward with courage and compassion for yourself.00:16 Spirituality and Running01:49 Running as a Higher Practice06:00 Advent and Running08:51 Trusting the Process17:33 Discipline as Devotion27:22 Body as a Gift29:43 Unlocking Your Body's Potential30:21 Shifting Perspectives on Fitness31:48 The Infinite Game of Health and Fitness34:04 Embracing Numerology and Spirituality35:48 The Symbolism of Years and Traditions39:31 Reflecting on Life's Transitions46:15 Running as a Devotional Practice47:03 Meditation and Presence in RunningJoin the 30 Day Running Reset and get a plan that will help you build a strong and injury-proof body by combining running and strength training in a way that actually works for runners like you.Gain access to my new secret podcast, Unbreakable: The Runner's Guide To Injury-Proofing Your Body After 40.

    In this episode, Grant Cardone challenges one of the most accepted assumptions in society: that college is the safest path to success.  Drawing directly from his bestselling book "The Wealth Creation Formula", Grant exposes how higher education has become a financial trap. 4 Years out of the workforce, massive student debt, and no guarantee of meaningful income often lead graduates into low-wage jobs. Grant breaks down why the real cost of college isn't just tuition, but lost time, lost earning power, and delayed financial independence. He also reframes the idea of "targets," explaining why becoming a millionaire is not the real goal. The true objective is freedom, control over your time, income, and choices. Without that context, financial targets can be deceptive and leave people chasing numbers instead of outcomes. This episode serves as a practical guide to escaping the middle-class mentality, questioning conventional advice, and redirecting focus toward income creation, skill development, and real-world experience.

    Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith talk CFB playoff games and best bets. Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith broke down the College Football Playoff quarterfinal slate with a focus on matchup specific edges, betting markets, and how recent form intersects with schematic realities. Coming off a 4 0 run on their last two podcast episodes, the discussion centered on four games and how defense, trench play, and quarterback trust shape both sides and totals. The opening focus was Miami versus Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl, a matchup both viewed as driven by elite defenses and pace control. Ohio State entered as a nine point favorite, but Smith emphasized Miami's ability to dominate the line of scrimmage, pointing to pressure rates, sack production, and third down efficiency. While expecting Ohio State to win outright, he leaned toward Miami covering and consistently highlighted unders across quarters and the full game, citing run game inefficiency on both sides and a likely field position battle. Warner echoed the correlation between strong defensive underdogs and unders, particularly on a neutral field. The conversation then shifted to Oregon versus Texas Tech in the Orange Bowl, described as the most difficult game to handicap. Smith leaned slightly toward Oregon based on quarterback trust and offensive balance but stressed concerns about receiver health and Texas Tech's defensive success rate and field position metrics. The consensus framed the game as close to a toss up, with Oregon needing a clean performance and Texas Tech facing pressure to protect its quarterback and avoid one dimensional offense. Alabama versus Indiana in the Rose Bowl generated the strongest stance, with Smith calling for a potential Indiana blowout. He cited Alabama's struggles running the ball, poor field position numbers, and vulnerability to pressure against an Indiana defense built to attack the pass. Indiana's ability to protect its quarterback and force Alabama into predictable situations was presented as the defining edge, with Indiana projected to control the game and win by double digits. The final matchup featured Georgia against Ole Miss in the Sugar Bowl, a rematch that Smith viewed as lopsided in Georgia's favor. Drawing heavily on the first meeting and Georgia's second half adjustments, he pointed to Ole Miss's inability to stop the run and Georgia's depth and preparation advantage. With Georgia rested, schematically familiar, and trending defensively, Smith projected a decisive win and made Georgia minus six and a half his best bet. Warner agreed on Georgia and added his own best bet on the Miami Ohio State under, reinforcing the theme that defense and game script would dictate the quarterfinals.

Where even the darkest corners of the forest feel touched by something warm and old and meaningful.Over the years, I've told you stories like that.Stories of Sasquatch sightings on snowy December mornings.Of mysterious gifts left on remote cabin doorsteps.Of unexplained tracks leading to and from places where no tracks should exist at all.But tonight, friends, I'm not here to warm your heart.Tonight, I'm here to freeze your blood.South Carolina. 1985.A young insurance adjuster named Gerald Hutchins inherits a remote cabin deep in the forest from his great-uncle Amos. The old man had lived alone out there for more than twenty years, and the family whispered that he came back from the war… changed. Haunted. Given to muttering in languages no one recognized. Drawing strange symbols he would immediately burn in the fireplace.Gerald decides the cabin would be the perfect place to spend Christmas with his wife, Ellen, and their thirteen-year-old son, Marcus.A real holiday, he tells them. The kind they used to have before television and convenience took over. Just a family, a fire, and the quiet peace of the winter woods.What Gerald doesn't tell them is what he found when he first visited the cabin alone.The chains hanging above the fireplace.The birch switches stained dark with something he didn't want to examine too closely.And the mask. A horrible wooden mask with hollow eyes and a grin carved with far too many teeth.He doesn't tell them about the sound he heard coming from the second floor.The sound of hooves on hardwood. As Christmas Eve settles in, the temperature drops and the snow begins to fall. And the Hutchins family will learn that some traditions are older than Christianity. Some punishments are older than coal in a stocking. And some things that were meant to stay in the old country followed our ancestors across the ocean—hiding in the shadows of their ships, waiting patiently for the right moment to remind us that the old ways never truly died.They just learned how to wait.Long before Santa Claus became the jolly gift-giver we know today, the winter solstice was a time of fear as much as celebration in the Alpine regions of Europe. While Saint Nicholas rewarded good children, his dark companion dealt with the rest.Krampus. Half-goat. Half-demon. All nightmare. A creature with curved horns, a serpentine tongue, chains forged in hellfire, and birch switches for the wicked. A basket on its back to carry its prizes away—down to whatever hell it called home.Krampusnacht, celebrated on December fifth, saw young men dress as the creature and roam the streets, terrorizing towns. But the oldest stories—the ones whispered long before costumes—spoke of something far older than men in masks. A being that existed before Christianity tried to tame it. A being that still walks the winter forests when nights grow long and the barriers between worlds wear thin.A being that always comes back.Content Warning:This episode contains intense horror imagery, supernatural violence, and themes involving harm to a family, including a child. Listener discretion is strongly advised.  This one is not for the faint of heart—and absolutely not for little ones. I've spent a long time telling stories about strange things in the woods. Bigfoot encounters. Unexplained phenomena. Creatures that linger just beyond the firelight. Even the scariest of those stories often carry a strange warmth—a sense that whatever's out there might be mysterious, might be frightening, but isn't necessarily evil. This story is different. This story is about something very evil.Something that has been doing terrible things to humanity for a very long time.Something that doesn't care about your Christmas spirit, your good intentions, or your prayers.I wanted to tell this story because I think we've sanitized our holidays. We've forgotten that our ancestors celebrated the winter solstice not just with feasts and gifts—but with rituals meant to protect them from the darkness. They understood something we've chosen to forget.The longest night of the year is the longest for a reason.So as you listen, maybe keep a candle burning.Maybe check the locks on your doors.And if you hear something on the roof that sounds a little too heavy to be reindeer…Well. You know what to do.Until next time…Sweet dreams.And Merry Christmas.

    Moritz Siebert speaks with Doug King about what it really means to trade commodities through cycles, distortions, and stress. Drawing on decades at Cargill and more than twenty years running a commodities hedge fund, Doug explains why innovation keeps scarcity narratives in check, why commodities resist buy and hold logic, and how real edge comes from cash markets rather than futures screens. He reflects on defining trades in oil, nickel, and agriculture, the limits of volatility targeting, and the discipline required to survive violent squeezes. The result is a grounded account of conviction, risk control, and why commodities reward patience more than prediction.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Moritz on Twitter.Follow Doug on LinkedIn.Episode TimeStamps:00:00 - Opening remarks and introduction to Top Traders Unplugged01:24 - Introducing Doug King and his background04:49 - From Cargill to hedge funds and the pull of commodities07:05 - Why the fund is purely discretionary and fundamentals driven09:50 - Team size, selectivity, and waiting for the right trades10:45 - Why commodities are cyclical and innovation breaks scarcity13:46 - Electrification and where long term excitement may lie15:37 - Defining edge in commodities trading18:12 - Physical delivery, convergence, and real market signals20:23

    What does it really take to win when everything falls apart? Inspired by a conversation with regular caller RLS about military mental conditioning, Ryan explores the psychological gap between good teams and championship teams, and why talent alone will never be enough. The injury report has ballooned to 20 players, with Jordan Love still in concussion protocol and Malik Willis expected to be ready if needed. But beyond the medical updates, this episode dives deep into the philosophy of elite performance. Drawing from books by Bill Walsh, Tim Grover, George Leonard, and Bill Parcells, Ryan examines why some players crumble under pressure while others thrive. The NFL's structure actually works against building mentally tough teams, and the bare minimum requirements for players are shockingly light compared to the psychotic obsession that defines true greatness.

    Emmanuel: God With Us: Let the King of Glory Enter Today's Homily centers on the Advent call to welcome the King of Glory . . . . . . Emmanuel, God with us . . . through obedience and trust, rather than self-reliance. Drawing from Matthew's Gospel and the Psalm proclamation, the homily presents three figures as models of response to God's invitation. King Ahaz represents the human tendency to solve problems independently, refusing God's offer of guidance and ultimately falling into bondage. Saint Paul embodies humble submission, identifying himself as a servant whose mission flows entirely from God's grace. Saint Joseph stands as the ultimate model of obedient faith, listening to God's word and allowing divine will to direct his life. The Homily culminates in the affirmation that Emmanuel is not distant: Christ remains present among the faithful, especially in the poor, the suffering, and the gathered community. As Advent concludes, believers are invited to examine their attitude . . . self-sufficiency or obedient trust . . . and to welcome God who desires to dwell in their midst. Listen to Emmanuel: God With Us: Let the King of Glory Enter The Adoration of the Shepherds: Italian Painter: Giorgione: 1510 Why was this image selected: The intimate presence of God among ordinary people reflects Emmanuel's nearness.

They relapse because they're alone.   In this episode of The Rebuilt Man Podcast, Coach Frank Rich exposes the growing loneliness and isolation crisis facing modern men and why it's one of the biggest drivers behind porn addiction today.   Drawing from real client experiences, cultural data, and years of coaching men through recovery, Frank breaks down 7 reasons isolation fuels porn addiction, revealing how secrecy, shame, emotional pressure, and loss of identity quietly keep men trapped.   This episode isn't just about quitting porn. It's about reclaiming identity, brotherhood, and purpose—and why real freedom is never found alone.   What You'll Learn In This Episode Why porn addiction thrives in isolation—not weakness   How loneliness is quietly destroying men's standards, identity, and direction   The emotional pressures that drive relapse beneath the surface   Why shame grows stronger the more men fight alone   How porn becomes a counterfeit form of connection   Why purpose collapses without brotherhood   The missing piece most men overlook in recovery 7 Reasons Isolation Fuels Porn Addiction Isolation removes accountability Without brotherhood, standards collapse and discipline fades. Isolation multiplies emotional pressure Stress, anxiety, boredom, and resentment seek escape. Isolation erodes identity Men begin believing lies about who they are and what's possible. Isolation lowers standards Survival replaces growth when no one is calling you higher. Isolation amplifies shame Secrecy fuels the addiction loop. Isolation turns porn into a "relationship" Porn becomes comfort, control, and counterfeit intimacy. Isolation kills purpose and momentum Disconnected men drift—and porn fills the vacuum.     Join the Brotherhood   If you're ready to stop fighting alone and step into a container built for growth, support, and freedom:   ➡ Join The Rebuilt Man Skool Community — Free 7-Day Trial www.TheRebuiltMan.com/7dayreset   Inside you'll gain access to: Daily accountability Weekly coaching The 7-Day Reset The 12-Week "Reboot Your Life" Framework And a brotherhood of men who refuse to quit   – Follow Coach Frank: IG - https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich   YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@CoachFrankRich   Website - https://www.rebuiltrecovery.com/homepage

The episode explores the realities of small-scale, regenerative meat sales, including product availability, butcher scheduling, pricing confidence, and market logistics.

    How do you serve God faithfully in youth ministry without sacrificing your family in the process? In this heartfelt Christmas-week episode of Youth Worker on Fire, Doug Edwards reflects on decades of student ministry and shares one of the most important lessons he's learned the hard way: every yes comes with a cost—and sometimes the most spiritual word you can say is "no." Rooted in powerful Christmas Scriptures like Isaiah 9:6, Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:21, and John 3:16, Doug reminds youth pastors, volunteers, parents, and grandparents why this season is ultimately about Emmanuel—God with us—and the families He has entrusted to us. Drawing wisdom from Martin Luther and leadership insights from John Maxwell, Doug opens up about the trips, retreats, and ministry opportunities he said yes to—some of which he wishes he had approached differently for the sake of his wife and children. In this episode, you'll hear about: ✅ Why "good ministry opportunities" can still cost you what matters most ✅ How saying yes to ministry often means saying no to family time ✅ Why prayer should increase—not decrease—when life gets busier ✅ The leadership truth: whatever you say yes to, you say no to everything else ✅ How to model healthy boundaries for students and volunteers ✅ Why Christmas is the perfect season to reassess priorities and pace This episode is a must-listen for youth pastors, ministry volunteers, teachers, parents, and grandparents who want to finish ministry strong, not burned out—and who want their families to feel loved, valued, and prioritized along the way.

    Send us a textThe moment Joseph reveals himself to his brothers is not just a family reunion, it is a soul disclosure. In this class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores why Joseph repeats himself, why he asks his brothers to come closer, and why he insists on reminding them that they sold him into Egypt. Drawing from Torah, Midrash, and Kabbalah, we discover that Joseph's greatest holiness was not forged in comfort, but in confrontation with darkness. His life teaches us that our deepest light often emerges not despite our struggles, but because of them. This is a class about identity, resilience, and the sacred fire hidden within every human journey.Key PointsLight isn't proven in comfort. It is revealed in contrast. Joseph's greatness emerged not in his father's home, but in Egypt's darkness.Your story is not a detour. The very chapters you wish you could erase are often the ones that unlock your deepest purpose.What looks like a mask may be protection. Joseph wasn't hiding his soul, he was carrying it through hostile terrain until it was safe to reveal.Stop living in “if only.” Joseph teaches us that spiritual greatness is not about ideal circumstances, but about faithfulness where you are.Darkness can be a catalyst, not a contradiction. The pit, the prison, and the palace were all part of one divine choreography.You are more than how you appear. Others may misread you, but your soul is not confused about who you are.True brotherhood begins with seeing. Healing starts when we learn to recognize the divine light in one another, even when it's hidden.Your struggle did not weaken you, it refined you.

He shares why being open and honest with yourself and with others is not just a value, but the foundation for freeing your True Self. Drawing from his sabbatical and the book Radical Honesty, Gino introduces three levels of telling the truth: revealing the facts from the past, being honest about current thoughts and feelings, and exposing the fiction of the ego or persona.He reflects on how performance, people pleasing, and fear pull us away from authenticity, and why truth, even when uncomfortable, ultimately brings clarity and freedom. The episode closes with a passionate reminder that honesty does not equal cruelty. When truth comes from the heart, it is an act of love.

    This episode explores one of the most compelling areas of near-death research: documented spiritual near-death experiences reported by children. While adult accounts of NDEs are widely discussed, children's experiences offer a distinct and often unsettling clarity. With minimal exposure to religious doctrine or cultural narratives about death, children tend to describe what they experienced without symbolic overlay, interpretation, or fear.Drawing on named, traceable cases documented by pediatrician and researcher Melvin Morse, as well as long-term analyses by P.M.H. Atwater, this episode focuses on what children themselves reported after surviving life-threatening events such as drowning, cardiac arrest, and severe illness.In case after case, children described leaving their physical bodies with little distress and observing medical resuscitation efforts from an external vantage point. Several accounts included accurate descriptions of hospital rooms, procedures, or family members' actions during periods when the child was clinically unresponsive. These observations were later corroborated by medical staff or parents.Beyond out-of-body perception, many children reported entering environments characterized by intense light, vivid landscapes, or a sense of peace and safety. Unlike adult accounts, children rarely described judgment, life reviews, or moral evaluation. Instead, their experiences emphasized belonging, familiarity, and unconditional acceptance. Morse noted that children often struggled to describe the light they encountered, insisting it was not merely visual but relational, something that “knew” them.Some of the most striking cases involved children encountering deceased relatives they had never consciously known. In multiple documented instances, children identified grandparents or siblings who had died before they were born, later recognizing them in photographs. These encounters were described casually, without surprise, as if meeting someone expected.The episode also examines what happened after children returned. Long-term follow-up interviews revealed consistent aftereffects: reduced fear of death, heightened empathy, and an increased sensitivity to others' emotions. Many children spoke calmly about dying and, in some cases, reassured adults during later illnesses or family crises. These statements were framed not as beliefs, but as memories.Importantly, the children themselves did not question the reality of their experiences. Years later, many maintained that what happened was not a dream or hallucination. This certainty was typically quiet and private, shaping their outlook without becoming performative or doctrinal.By focusing on named cases preserved in published research and presentations associated with the International Association for Near-Death Studies, this episode avoids speculation and instead centers on testimony. Children do not offer explanations for what they experienced. They simply describe where they went, and insist that it was real. https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
