Next Level Soul Podcast with Alex Ferrari

In the boundless dance of existence, there come moments when the veil between the known and the unknown lifts, revealing the mysteries that lie beyond. On today's episode, we welcome the captivating Lura Ketchledge, who takes us on a journey through her extraordinary near-death experience (NDE). Lura Ketchledge's narrative is a compelling testament to the profound transformations that can emerge from crossing the threshold of life and death.Lura's life before her NDE was a whirlwind of youthful exuberance and exploration. At 19, she was navigating the vibrant social scene of Washington D.C., juggling jobs, relationships, and the occasional horseback riding adventure. Raised with Judeo-Christian values by her Presbyterian minister grandfather, she had a foundation in spirituality, yet she harbored doubts about organized religion. This skepticism set the stage for the profound spiritual awakening that was to come.On a sunny day that seemed perfect for horseback riding, Lura's life took a dramatic turn. As she raced a horse back to the barn, she was thrown off with such force that her body went one way and her soul another. "I went off like a bottle rocket off that horse and I never hit the ground. I never felt the impact because my body literally went one way and my soul went another," she recalls. Plunged into a dark tunnel at a high speed, she was acutely aware of her separation from her physical form and knew she was dead.In this disorienting tunnel, Lura experienced a gamut of emotions—from profound sadness to self-recrimination for the choices that led her there. But then came the light, and with it, her grandfather, no longer ravaged by cancer but healthy and vibrant. The reunion with her grandfather was a moment of immense joy, overshadowing even the strangeness of her situation. However, this joy was tempered by the subsequent life review, a common feature in NDEs, where she was shown the impact of her actions on others, both good and bad.SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSSelf-Reflection and Growth: Lura's life review emphasized the importance of understanding how our actions affect others. "You judge yourself," she says, highlighting that the process is not about external judgment but about self-awareness and the desire to improve.The Continuity of Relationships: One of the most comforting revelations for Lura was the assurance that relationships transcend physical death. The love and connections we forge in life continue beyond, offering solace and hope.The Non-Linear Nature of Time: Lura's experience with the concept of simultaneous lifetimes across different periods and realities challenges our conventional understanding of time. This realization underscores the complexity and interconnectedness of our existence.As Lura journeyed further, she found herself at Source, a realm of indescribable love and bliss. "It was like floating in a sea of love," she describes, where she felt the presence of other consciousnesses, possibly versions of herself from different lifetimes. This profound sense of unity and peace was, however, brief. She was soon whisked away to a new reality, a beautiful beach where her thoughts could manifest physical objects, revealing the responsive nature of the realms beyond.Returning to her body was a jarring experience, marked by intense pain and the harshness of physical reality. Despite the trauma and the initial disbelief she encountered from medical professionals, Lura emerged with a renewed understanding of life and death. Her journey didn't end there; she continued to experience paranormal phenomena, reinforcing her connection to the non-physical realms and deepening her spiritual insights.Lura's story is a vivid reminder that life is a tapestry of experiences meant to teach and transform us. Her near-death experience, while deeply personal, offers universal lessons about love, accountability, and the eternal nature of the soul. Her message is clear: we are not alone, and our lives are interwoven with those of others, both in this world and beyond.In conclusion, Lura Ketchledge's near-death experience provides a powerful testament to the mysteries that lie beyond our physical existence. Her journey from the brink of death back to life has gifted her with profound insights and a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of all things.Please enjoy my conversation with Lura Ketchledge.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

Laura Coe is an author, life coach, and speaker who specializes in personal development and spirituality. She has written and spoken extensively on the topic of the Akashic Records. In this episode we discuss about Atlantis and lost civilizations of humanity and the spiritual implications of what happened to those societies.Atlantis is a legendary and mythical island believed to have existed in ancient times. The story of Atlantis has captured the human imagination for centuries, inspiring countless tales, theories, and speculative works. The first known mention of Atlantis comes from the writings of the ancient Greek philosopher Plato in his dialogues "Timaeus" and "Critias."According to Plato's account, Atlantis was a mighty and prosperous civilization that reached its zenith around 9,000 years before his time. It was a highly advanced society with exceptional architecture, technology, and knowledge. Atlantis was said to be ruled by kings descended from the god Poseidon and was located beyond the Pillars of Hercules, believed to be either the Strait of Gibraltar or the Mediterranean Sea.The fall of Atlantis is a central part of the story, as its people became corrupt and indulgent. As a result, the gods punished them, causing the island to sink into the sea, disappearing in a cataclysmic event.While many consider Atlantis to be purely a fictional creation of Plato's imagination, others have searched for evidence of its existence throughout history. Numerous theories and speculative locations have been proposed, but no concrete evidence has been found to support the existence of a lost city called Atlantis.As a result, Atlantis remains one of the most enduring mysteries and intriguing legends, reminding us of the allure and fragility of great civilizations throughout the annals of time. Its legacy continues to be a symbol of a golden age and a cautionary tale, encouraging exploration, discovery, and a fascination with the unknown.Please enjoy my conversation with Laura Coe.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.
