Round Trip Death Podcast - NDE

In this powerful episode, host Eric Bennett welcomes Lynn Arches-Rappaport, a Massachusetts teacher and grandmother, who shares her Near Death Experience (NDE) from nearly 50 years ago.
While surfing in Puerto Rico, Lynn was caught in a brutal set of waves, slammed against a reef covered in sea urchins, and began drowning. At the moment she feared she wouldn't survive, she was pulled out of her body.

Her NDE included a vivid life review, a tunnel with a shadowy being, a welcoming group of entities, and the presence of both her deceased father, Jesus, and God, all bathed in an overwhelming sense of pure love and warmth unlike anything she had known on earth.
Lynn describes her Near Death Experience as "more real than real" — a state of unconditional love so complete that it transformed her understanding of life, death, and her difficult childhood.
She returned from her NDE with a mission to share her story and has since written a memoir, Entangled. Lynn also discusses the life lessons she believes souls choose before birth, and why she no longer fears death — viewing it instead as a homecoming to a place of permanent, boundless love.

Not all NDEs come from happy places. When Renee Christine Martine was five years old, her father — a former member of the White Fence Gang hiding from the Mexican mafia behind a Jehovah's Witness conversion — came home in a rage and sent a tent pole into her face.
Thirty-one stitches, a 45-minute drive bleeding out in a station wagon, and something else: floating above the farm looking down, a mysterious woman no one else could see, and absolute love and peace on the other side of it all.
She has no paper that says she died. She doesn't need one for us to know it was a near death experience (NDE). What she came back with — apparitions appearing in her bedroom, premonitions that spooked her parents, a ghost in a pea coat outside her window at 16, and a lifelong magnetism for paranormal phenomena — made it pretty clear something had shifted permanently.

Michael Florman died eight times.
A cardiac arrest on the way to work launched him into one of the most vivid NDE experiences ever described — leaving his body, floating above paramedics, racing through a glowing valley, and entering a dark, peaceful void filled with unconditional love and acceptance.
His near death experience even included a life review where he felt the emotional impact of his actions on others, all before being violently shocked back to life mid-NDE.
But coming back wasn't easy. Heightened empathy, memory loss, and years of depression followed as Michael struggled to find meaning in ordinary life after experiencing something extraordinary.
His message to anyone fearing death? You are not your body — you're the energy inside it, and that energy never dies. A must-listen episode.

What happens when a skeptical publishing executive stumbles into the world of Near Death Experience research — and it ends up saving his family?
That's the unexpected journey of Shaun Tabatt, author of NDE Conspiracy, who joins host Eric Bennett on Round Trip Death to unpack how he went from doubter to devoted researcher.
Shaun walks through his nine-point framework for evaluating NDE accounts, tackles the thorny questions around reincarnation and past-life memories, and challenges listeners to engage with even the most puzzling NDE testimonies rather than dismiss them outright.
But the episode's most gripping moments come when Sean pulls back the curtain on his own life. When his wife Lynette was diagnosed with a stage four brain tumor, years of immersion in Near Death Experience research suddenly had urgent, personal purpose — allowing him to answer her deepest questions about death with the voices of those who'd already been there.
In her final months, Lynette had her own out-of-body experience and a stunning vision of her heavenly welcoming committee. Then, on the morning she passed, a close friend texted Sean completely unprompted — describing a vision of Lynette in heaven, picking apples with Jesus.
Some episodes leave you thinking. This one leaves you breathless.

"Go Back, Your Work's Not Done!"
What would it take for you to die — not once, not twice, but thirteen times — and come back with something to show for it?
In this electrifying episode, host Eric Bennett sits down with Greg Halpern, a Chicago-based judo world champion turned serial entrepreneur who has survived 13 Near Death Experiences that would have broken — or simply ended — anyone else.
It starts at age five (NDE #1), when a post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage sends young Greg bleeding into the night and straight into a boundless space of warm, infinite light, where a deep, commanding voice tells him to go back because there's work to do.
Each successive NDE Experience, he explains, felt less like a brush with death and more like a controlled transmission — the universe systematically clearing his mind to receive something extraordinary.
By the time his 12th NDE hits in 2005 — a lungful of chlorine gas from a pool canister that felt like a blowtorch down his throat — Halpern had long stopped expecting to die.
Then came Near Death Experience number thirteen — a ruptured appendix, three days of misdiagnosed food poisoning, a six-hour surgery for full-blown peritonitis, and a fatal over-medication that flatlined him in his hospital bed. What he saw in that darkness was chilling: a vision of global destruction centered on 2023, and an urgent message that he had been sitting on world-changing information for too long.
