DE026: Southern Baptist FAITH TRANSFORMED by LIFE-CHANGING NDE with Dr. Mary Helen Hensley
On today's episode, we welcome Dr. Mary Helen Hensley, a woman who has walked the line between life and death, emerging with profound insights and a deeper understanding of our spiritual existence. Her journey is one that starts with a life-altering event, a near-death experience that has since shaped her worldview and transformed her approach to life itself. The story she shares is both awe-inspiring and humbling, offering a glimpse into the realms beyond the physical, where our true essence resides.Dr. Hensley's tale begins on a seemingly ordinary day, December 14, 1991, in Charleston, South Carolina. The mundanity of her life, marked by a job far beneath her qualifications, took a sudden and dramatic turn as she found herself on the brink of death following a catastrophic car accident. As she describes it, the world slowed down, and in those moments, she made a conscious decision not to experience the impact but to leave her body, entering into an otherworldly state where time and space as we know it ceased to exist.What struck me most about her narrative was the sheer clarity with which Dr. Mary Helen Hensley recounts her experience. She speaks of the "music of the spheres," a sound that resonated deep within her soul, marking the beginning of her detachment from the physical world. "It was amazing," she says, "I’m not that body," a realization that ushered her into a new understanding of existence. In this space, she was free from fear, pain, and attachment, observing her lifeless body with the same indifference one might show a set of discarded clothes.Her journey didn't end there; instead, it led her to what she describes as a "Homecoming," an overwhelming sense of love and recognition from two benevolent beings. These figures, though not the religious icons she expected, were familiar in a way that transcended earthly relationships. It was in their presence that she experienced her life review, not in a linear, chronological sequence, but in a simultaneous, multi-dimensional display that forever altered her perception of reality. The message was clear: she was, and always had been, infinite, a being of light navigating through various incarnations and experiences.SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSWe Are Not Our Bodies: Dr. Hensley’s experience reinforces the idea that our physical form is merely a vessel for the true self, which is infinite and unbound by earthly limitations.The Music of the Spheres: The resonance she describes highlights the connection between sound, frequency, and our spiritual existence, suggesting that these vibrations are fundamental to our experience of reality.Concurrent Lifetimes: Her life review suggests that our lives may not be as linear as we perceive them, opening up the possibility of simultaneous experiences across different dimensions of reality.In this profound conversation, we are reminded that the trials and tribulations of life are but temporary states, designed to teach us and help us grow. Dr. Hensley's story is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the boundless nature of our true selves. Through her words, we glimpse the eternal, understanding that we are more than our bodies, our experiences, or our hardships. We are, in essence, infinite beings of light, on a journey of love, learning, and endless discovery.Please enjoy my conversation with Dr. Mary Helen Hensley.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/divine-encounters-near-death-experiences-nde-beyond--6215380/support.
