Betty Eadie, author of The Ripple Effect and Embraced by the Light, shares her 1973 near-death experience—leaving her body to witness family and a pinpoint of light—while dismissing brain-activity theories as inadequate for millions’ shared visions. She reveals God’s creation of multiple worlds, cellular memory linking past lives (e.g., Mary Queen of Scots), and Earth’s negative vibrations fueled by fear, which prayer and love can shift. Crop circle researcher Linda Moulton Howe details 1999 formations in Canada—300-foot braided wheat figures, medicine wheels, and sun symbols—undisturbed by human or natural forces, suggesting advanced beings or plasma vortices. Eadie’s message: death is a transition, not an end, and humanity’s growth depends on embracing these spiritual truths over dogma. [Automatically generated summary]
From the high desert in the great American Southwest, I bid you all good evening and or good morning, and welcome to another edition of the best in live overnight talk radio across this great land of ours and a bit beyond, actually.
From the Tahitian and Hawaiian islands in the west eastward to the Caribbean and the U.S. Virgin Islands south into South America, north all the way to the Pole and worldwide on the internet.
This is Coast Coast Dam and I'm Mark Bell.
Great to be here with you.
I've lost another award.

Congratulations, Mike.
As the winner for Sexiest Voice in America.
Other nominees announced July 27th for Art Bell Don Imos, Gordon Liddy, and Bruce Williams.
Annie Reagan, president of the organization, revealed that Art Bell placed second number two, followed by Don Imos, third, Bruce Williams, fourth, Gordon Liddy, fifth.
With reference to my opening remark in yesterday's program, there is a family emergency going on in my family right now, and it may be necessary at some point for me to leave the program tonight, or perhaps not, hopefully not.
But I do want to warn you of that possibility.
You're aware of the ongoing problems.
I'm debating whether to make public what's causing all this or not.
We'll see.
Coming up for you shortly is Linda Moulton Howe, Attention Canada.
There has been a crop circle.
It's a real doozy up in Canada.
I do have a diagram of it.
No aerial photographs yet, but a diagram supplied by Linda.
And you're going to get to hear the farmer in whose field this was perpetrated.
Notice the word I used, perpetrated.
In the next hour, Betty Eady will be here, who has just written a book called The Ripple Effect.
She, of course, had a number one New York Times bestseller, Embraced by the Light.
And now The Ripple Effect, and so Betty Eady will be here.
Tomorrow night, Gordon Cooper, the astronaut, will be here.
Looking forward to it.
Boy am I looking forward to that.
Otherwise, East Timor, as you know, in a terrible crisis, hundreds being slaughtered in the streets.
The UN, trying to debate whether it's going to stay or go, wants really Australian troops to come in and take care of biz in a regional way.
In Moscow, a massive explosion shattered a nine-story apartment building in Moscow early Thursday, destroying scores of apartments, actually, and leaving 14 dead, more trapped in the rubble.
They don't rule out the possibility that it was a bomb attack there.
They're looking into it.
Dan Forth will head the Waco inquiry coming up.
He has agreed now to head that inquiry.
So, all of that said, in a moment, we will go to Linda Moulton Howe, and there's a lot going on out there.
So, we'll talk to her about that.
And as I said, if you would like to see a formation, a diagram of a formation.
Now, it's kind of like modern art.
But when I looked at this one, which is up on my website by Linda Moulton Howe's name, I thought planetary alignment.
Boy, that looks like a planetary alignment if I've ever seen one.
But that's me, and you may interpret it in a very different way.
It looks like what was going on in England has now moved across the Atlantic to Canada.

The End Now we take you back to the night of September 8th, 1999 on Art Bell Somewhere in Time.
Well, when I talked with you on Coast the end of July from Wiltshire, England about all the crop formations there, none of us researching the mystery realized that at the same July time back in Canada, two large formations were discovered in wheat fields outside Hagersville, Ontario.
Hagersville is southwest of Toronto on the north side of Lake Erie.
The largest was a 300 three-foot pictogram made up of circles, corridors, and rings, including what looks like a human stick figure above a circle.
The other smaller pictogram in another field was about 75 feet long, made up of several corridors connecting two circles.
Farmer Larry Powell was renting the land from owner Clint King.
Beginning July 11th, Powell started swatting the fields, cutting the wheat down to about eight inches above the ground for harvest.
He doesn't remember the precise day after July 11th, but he came upon the circles in corridors and became very angry, assuming that vandals had been in his wheat.
So he drove his swatting machine over the formation.
He didn't tell anyone until around July 22nd when the farm's owner, Clint King, was shown the odd designs.
Since much of the wheat was laid flat to the ground beneath the 8-inch stubble, aerial and ground photographs still show some of the pictograms.
And you can see both drawings and photographs at my website, earthfiles.com, starting tomorrow as refined drawings, surveys, and photographs are coming in as we speak tonight.
So bookmarkEarthFiles.com to keep up with this unfolding story in which there are new developments daily so far.
Now the farm owner, Clint King, who also founded the First Nations Environmental Network for North American Indian Tribes Living in Canada, told me that he was stunned to see wheat stems delicately braided and interwoven with other braids of wheat.
Here is Clint King.
unidentified
You know how you see weaving for fabric to make some kind of material?
And upon walking through and examining all of these physical complexities and the actual braiding and weaving and the repetitions in numbers, what kind of thought have you been left with about what intelligence made this?
unidentified
Hmm.
Uh-huh.
A force that has a very high intelligence and skill greater than anything a person would have.
Simply because the wheat wasn't broken.
And I'm just struck with wonder.
Besides, like at how incredibly beautiful it looks, and yet so simple.
I'm just struck by that.
You know, just to see wheat laying over in a field, one strand at a time, and then to look at them all together.
Wow.
To show such a stunning message, so simple yet so complex.
Do you think any human could have done that?
No, no, it's...
They might have been able to draw it like on a graph or on a piece of paper.
But even that would have taken a lot of skill just to draw it out.
I talked with one of Clint King's neighbors who lives about a mile south of the fields containing the pictograms.
Carl Salt said one night in the middle of July, he was upreading around 3 a.m.
He looked out the window toward King's farm and saw a glowing object, quote, the color of a red traffic light, unquote, moving up and down like an elevator above the trees between his property and Clint King's.
unidentified
Like I'm looking at the back window now and over the tree lines, these trees are quite tall.
They'd have to be probably 50, 60 feet in the air.
And that object from where I'm looking at now would have to be pretty big.
Like I would imagine at least, I don't know, 20 feet, 20 to 30 feet in height.
Yes, I thought the object was pretty large because I'm looking at the trees now, and now this even the daytime actually, I mean, to put my fingers up against the window here and put the tree line, the object must have been pretty big.
If you extend your hand at an arm's length distance like you're doing and you compare it against the trees, how would you compare it?
unidentified
Well, if you put your fingers up against a window now, I would say it would be about the width of my two fingers, which is almost the width of the canopy of one of these large trees I can see now.
I also talked with the editor of the Turtle Island News in Oshweekin, Ontario, who was one of the first people to photograph these formations.
She said that at some of the circle centers in Clint King's wheat, she could see signs of scorching as if the plants had been subjected to heat.
She also confirmed that the braiding and weaving in the pictograms were very detailed as Clint King has described.
Around that same time on July 15th in Montebello, Quebec, a very large and very odd formation resembling letters and character symbols was discovered in a wheat field northeast of Ottawa near the Ottawa River.
Some people thought it must be a hoax, but others who actually saw the lay of the plants reported that the strange hieroglyph might actually be genuinely mysterious.
If so, no one can understand the obscure message, a common complaint about crop formations.
You can see a diagram of the symbols at earthfiles.com drawn by Paul Anderson, Director of Circles Phenomenon Research in Canada.
On August 7th, a few days before the total solar eclipse, a 100-foot diameter circle was found pressed firmly into grass in British Columbia near the Yukon border.
The very remote location at Dees Lake was so difficult to get to and not easy to see from anywhere, so many people said, well, what was the point of this?
And why at the same time?
Over the British Columbia border in Whitefish, Montana on August 6th, did someone put a ring about the size of a football field in wheat not far from Highway 40.
The ring was divided into four quadrants that projected outward with trident-like forks beyond the perimeter of the ring.
It closely resembles a Native American symbol for the sun.
Last year in 1998, at about the same time, an almost identical shaped but smaller sun symbol was discovered in a wheat field only five miles from this 1999 ring.
And if it hadn't been for the sharp eye and perseverance of Whitefish resident Melody Watts, maybe no one would ever have known.
When she contacted local media and airports about photographing the ring, no one was even interested.
So far, Melody is the only person who has provided aerial and ground photographs of the 1999 ring formation.
If there is anyone else out there listening who might have taken photographs while flying over Whitefish, Montana around August 6th when it was fresh, please contact me at either my email address, earthfiles at earthfiles.com or my facts, 215-491-9842.
Melody and I both would like to see if we could find fresh photos.
And again, my email address is earthfiles at earthfiles.com or my facts is 215-491-9842.
Well, now we're going to hear Melody, who lives up in Whitefish, Montana, describe how the plants are laid down in this amazing ring.
Here is Melody Watts.
unidentified
In the ring itself, half of the ring was going clockwise, and the other half, right next to it, in the same six feet or eight, whatever, was going the opposite direction.
The wheat was laid clockwise, and right next to it, it was laid counterclockwise.
Then around 3 o'clock in the afternoon on September 3rd, farmer David Robertson was swapping his brother-in-law's wheat field near Neil Berg, Saskatchewan, when he came upon not just one circle, but 11 circles.
Yeah, but you're making such an excellent point because that 100-foot diameter circle that so far no one has even gotten a photograph of, but somebody walked in there and sent the report out that here was this 100-foot diameter circle plunked in the most remote area up near the Yukon border.
And that was the question I was asking about why, what would be the reason.
And when we go to Nielburg, it is a very small, remote farming community west of North Battleford, not far from Alberta.
The population is 400, and only 12 teenagers graduated from high school this year.
Yep, and no one in Nielburg, teenager or adult, is calling this formation a hoax.
And in a year when hostile farmers have cut down several good formations in England as well as at Clint King's farm, it's been so refreshing for me to talk to farmer David Robertson from Nielberg, who is so genuinely baffled by what he found, and he does not have an attitude about it.
He is curious like you and I. He would like to understand what's happening.
And he's with us tonight to talk, representing farmers who have found these formations.
And Dave Robertson, I think you're on the line, and welcome to Coast to Coast.
Now, could you talk to us and think of a radio audience and trying to paint a picture for us with words of what it was like when you first saw the circles and what you did and saw?
unidentified
Well, I was swathing the field.
You go in a round and round rotation.
And the first I made a few rounds and I come across this first circle and everything was flattened down.
And I thought, well, you know, what the heck flattened this down, but never thought too much of it.
So I made the next, because the circle was on the outside edge of the swather, which was about 30 feet from the cab of the tractor.
And so the next round I went around, I come right over top of it with the tractor.
And when I looked down on it, then I seen that it was basically a perfect circle, and all of the grain was packed right down.
And right beside it, the swather went over top of the second circle, and it was exactly the same.
Well, this sort of got me curious, so I got off and took a look to see if I could see what caused it or anything like this.
Couldn't find any human or any kind of tracks or anything on the ground.
There was lumps of dry dirt there that hadn't been broke or disturbed, so I knew nobody had walked over it or anything like that.
So I sort of come to the conclusion, well, gee, what's this?
And then I started looking around and I started finding more and more circles.
So I started walking out through the crop to check out these other circles, and I noticed when I got into them, they were smaller.
But the first three that I seen were, they were all in a clockwise rotation.
And when I walked over into these other circles through the crop, they're like anywhere from six to ten feet of standing crop between the circles.
the ten main ones were flattened right to the ground, but the lumps of dirt on the ground weren't touched or flattened or anything like that or broke down.
And David, something that really fascinates me is that these three arms swirling out from a center circle is reminiscent of a formation in 1996 at Windmill Hill in England, three gigantic arms sweeping out from a center circle in what are called Julia sets.
It's a form of fractal.
Now that formation in England three years ago was 1,000 feet from one end of an arm to the end of the other arm.
This one that you found, Dave, the surveyor, walked off at 185 feet, and she did a very detailed checking of the way that the crock was laid in circle after circle.
And it is one of the most interesting things that I've seen because it is a strange, not exactly alternating every other, but in some cases it is going clockwise, counterclockwise, clockwise, working down the arm.
The center circle is clockwise.
And then as you go off on the arm that goes south, there is a pattern of that's alternating clockwise and counterclockwise.
And then to the arm that goes off to the, I think it's the west, it is all counterclockwise.
Well, and the other interesting thing, Art, following up the observation earlier about remoteness, this is the very first time that I know that anything in the fractal category has been in North America.
We've had pictograms in Canada and we've had pictograms in the United States, but we've never had a, let's call it a three-armed Julia set sort of theme like this one now up in Nielburg.
And I think, David, you could talk to us about how difficult it would be for anybody to know that formation was there.
Here, you guys who were working right there didn't know it was there until you went right over and over.
David, when you found this, after you contemplated and sat there, I'm sure, and thought, wow, look what I have, what did you do?
unidentified
I had a paper lunch bag in the tractor and I took and drew a picture of it.
I didn't trust my memory because I figured, well, gee, you know, I've got to have a picture of this or nobody will believe me what it is because, you know, it was weird.
And another thing, like, I noticed right away, too, like when I got off the tractor and looked like there was no tracks or no marks around, and you could go an inch outside the circle, and the wheat was standing perfectly.
There wasn't a head broke, damaged, or a stock broke, or damaged at all.
And as far as I'm concerned, no human or something like that could do that without at least damaging one or two.
We've got to ask, did you or anybody else around you observe any unusual phenomena in and or around the time that or prior to the time that you found these circles?
unidentified
No, nobody's heard or noticed anything around at all that we've talked to anyway.
And Dave, if it were humans in a helicopter or a plane, wouldn't you all have heard that?
unidentified
Yes, I think we likely would have because that would make enough noise because there was a farmyard a mile to the east of it and a mile to the west of this site.
And right now, looking at the details of no evidence of entry in that field, how else could anything have gotten in to make those circles without going in from the air?
unidentified
Well, as far as I'm concerned, the only way had to be from the air.
Because the ground wasn't wet or anything like that.
You know, it's moist, but it's not wet, and the lumps of dirt on top are dry, and if you just touch them with your finger, they'll crumble or break.
Do you want to just venture a guess for us, David, about what did this?
You want to join the crowd and guess what did this to your field?
unidentified
Well, I don't know.
I've guessed a lot of things, but I guess when it comes right down to it, it's whatever you believe.
If you believe it could be one thing, it could be that.
And if you believe it could be something else, it could be that.
But so far, I've left it with an open mind, and I haven't drawn any conclusions of what it is or who or whatever did it or what it is.
But to me, it's got to be something that a conclusion I have sort of kicked around the most is it has to be some higher intelligence than what we are, or something that's somebody that's really got some higher form of transportation than what we have, or somebody that has designed something that the rest of the world don't know, or the rest of the common people don't know about.
Could I give you both another piece of news that just before we went on the air, Paul Anderson, who is the Director of Circles Phenomena Research in Canada and edits a wonderful website about Canadian formations with a very long address, but he said just say go to earthfiles.com and link on his, hit his website link and go to his site.
And he confirmed that the Charlottetown Guardian newspaper in Prince Edward Island ran a brief story on August 28th about a farmer named Bernard Handrahan who back in mid-August found two circles in, get this, his blueberry field.
One was 18 feet in diameter and the other was 12 feet.
Mr. Handrahan was quoted as saying, quote, they were perfectly circular and the centers were untouched, unquote, implying that the circles might have been rings around untouched berry crops.
And this is, to my knowledge, the first time that we've heard about crop formations in blueberry fields.
I understand that a lot of farmers are really ticked off about this because it brings people tromping into their field, but it well may be that he's so remote that hopefully that won't occur.
I think it is profoundly important, and there's not a single question that in some of these formations, whether it's England, Canada, Australia, the United States, or wherever, we have been able to demonstrate that something has happened at the chemical level, the physical level in plants that you could not alter with strings and boards.
And the very issue of what is a spinning plasma vortex, as Dr. Levengood hypothesizes, with microwave frequencies in it, what could be generating it, by whom, and why.
And as you just heard from Dave Robertson, everybody who comes in touch with the formations in the field, including myself, comes away with a sense that there is an intelligence with a very specific intent behind what is happening.
She's written a new book called The Ripple Effect, and we're going to talk all about it.
Betty Eady's phenomenal New York Times number one bestseller of over 10 million copies.
That's a lot of books, folks.
Embraced by the light and the awakening heart touched millions of lives who seek release from their fear of death.
At 31 years of age, Betty Eady died in a hospital after surgery, experienced the most profound near-death experience ever.
She reveals in her experiences in heaven, including meeting Jesus, the presence of angels, being reunited with departed loved ones, the power of prayer and more.
Embraced by the Light, her first book, is actually one of the all-time bestsellers in the history of books.
How's that?
Anyway, she knew upon returning that she was to share the experience at the appropriate time, and the message of God's unconditional love would reach around the world.
That message went out in 1992 with the publication of Embrace by the Light and was increased and amplified by the awakening heart.
The message now ripples out to millions who in turn share the power of God's love with others.
This is the ripple effect at its finest, creating waves of positive energy that are full of love going forward into one that love will be experienced by all.
And the earth is preparing for the cleansing that everyone is talking about.
And I suppose that does produce not only feelings of just mere excitement as I feel tonight, which is a powerful energy, a good energy, a positive one, but there's a downside to that.
And that is a tremendous amount of fear that all of this is creating as well.
So I suppose people are greatly interested in what God might have in store for us or what is just if they don't believe in God.
And this was part of the sensation that I felt when I was experiencing my death.
I felt my heart fibrillating.
There was this tremendous movement in my chest, and then it stilled.
And at that moment, there was a sound, a popping sound, just a pop.
And I then felt myself shooting up, and I turned and I looked down.
I was at the ceiling level in the hospital room.
I looked down and I could see my body lying on the bed.
This was very surprising to me because at this point, this was in 1973, I had not heard of near-death experiences.
I had never read anything about it.
I didn't even believe in this.
My belief was at that time that when you died, you are merely buried in the grave and you stayed there until resurrection day.
At that time, you would come up, you would either go to heaven or you would go to hell.
And I expected that.
But what I didn't expect was to look down and see my body laying there, and I knew that I was dead.
I had worked as an LPN in the hospitals before.
I know the look of death, and I wanted to see my body, and I came down closer.
I saw my body actually in a multi-dimensional form, which was very interesting because I wasn't looking through my earthly eyes, but I was seeing through spiritual eyes.
I think at first I was maybe just a little bit frightened because as I turned and looked down at the bed, I could see my body.
I didn't know that the body was mine at first, which when I came down closer, then I could see that it was me, which was interesting to me because I'm used to looking at myself in the mirror.
But as I looked down and saw my body, I didn't recognize it.
When I did see that this body was mine, then my first thoughts were for my family.
I worried about them.
And the first thought was actually, oh my God, I'm dead.
And nobody is here to know that because there was not a nurse, not a doctor.
I came out of my body from what I would say would be my chest.
Some people describe when they've had their near-death experience coming out at their forehead or various places, but I actually felt myself coming out of my body from my chest.
And then I went, actually, as I thought it, I looked around the room and I looked for a place to exit, which is another curious thought because wouldn't you naturally exit through the door?
But my spirit just looked for a place to exit and I went through the window because the windows do not open.
They're solid windows in the upper floors of a hospital.
They do not open.
And I went through the window and it was so natural to me.
As more time elapsed, everything became more natural to me being out of the body than actually having experienced the body.
As I traveled through the city, I could actually see below me the trees.
And I went right into my home, right through the walls, into my living room where I saw my husband sitting in the chair.
He was reading the newspaper.
My children, I looked at the clock.
It was quarter to 10.
The children were running up and down the stairs.
I remember thinking that my husband had promised to put the children to bed at 8.30.
And here it was, quarter to 10, and he wasn't paying any attention to them, and they were just having a good time on the stairs, throwing pillows at each other.
So, even as I think back on it now, even as a spiritual being, I had feelings, I had emotions, I had thoughts of the things here on the earth.
But as I looked at my husband, as much as I love him, as much as I love my children, I didn't want contact with them.
I didn't feel that I needed it.
And then as I stood there watching them, I began to know, and I'm going to put the know in quotes because it's more of something deep within the spirit, the soul, that I had existed on earth at a time for them that was needed, and now they no longer needed me, and it was okay for me to go on.
At that time, I knew that I was whole, but I wasn't interested in myself.
I felt that I had all of my body parts.
I didn't look at myself until much later.
When I went back to the hospital, and then I was drawn by this energy into what then appeared to be like a tunnel.
And I was drawn into this dark space.
It was totally black.
Now, before I had my experience, I was claustrophobic and very frightened of darkness.
I was raised in boarding schools, Indian boarding schools, and that had taught me a lot of fear.
So under normal conditions, if I were in something dark, I would have absolutely panicked.
But in this place, it was so filled with love, so nurturing, and so beautiful, that I actually felt that I would prefer this place to any other place that I had ever experienced.
And then I felt I saw a pinpoint of light that pierced this blackness, and then I wanted to go to that light.
It was my heart's desire to go to the light, and at that point, I swirled and began to travel towards that light, going feet first.
This is when I noticed that I had a spiritual body.
Most people would be incredibly frightened of, if they were aware they were dead, which you obviously were, to go to an area where there was nothing at first but blackness.
I mean, I know had I not had this experience, Art, it would be something more frightening to me than anything I could imagine.
It was frightening to me.
After having had this experience, death absolutely does not frighten me.
There is nothing on this earth that I am afraid of because the worst thing that can happen to you is that you would die.
And so it removes your fear.
And then having gone beyond that, even beyond the death, beyond the darkness, beyond this place where spirits seem to be in this black space, and I knew that every one of these spirits were being nurtured and being loved by God.
A pinpoint, just a speck of light, enough to attract my attention.
And I knew, Art, that anyone in this dark space with me, any one of us, if we saw that light and we so desired it, we could all turn and go towards that light.
But I also knew that there would be spiritual beings who would not be prepared to go there.
They would not release what they had here in discomfort and in this beauty, that they would not follow that light.
Do you think, Betty, this is an interesting question, that some who had been mortal and were there in your condition, sort of in a black waiting room, if you want to think of it that way, do you think some of them did not go to the light, Betty?
Yes, I knew that this was also a choice of theirs, not of God's.
I too experienced a life review.
It was some time later in my experience, but I had to experience and see for myself and feel for myself all of the pain that I had created while I was here on earth.
It was not a very happy experience for me, but I was also allowed to experience all of the good that I had produced, that I had created.
And although there was very little of that...
Well, for me, that's exactly what it was because I had, during my early life, developed quite an attitude.
And the attitude was negative.
And I was just basically giving out to the world what I had been taught, and it wasn't good.
I had to experience that and see that I had indeed hurt people and that I needed to change my life.
But I also witnessed some of the good things that I had done, and I was amazed to find that most of the good was actually very simple things, things that I did without thinking.
You know, sometimes we go out and we do good deeds because we feel that, well, we have to, like maybe given to a charity because, well, our foundation or organization has to, or those are not Considered great acts of kindness.
What was considered great acts of kindness on my part was actually just very simple little smiles, pleasant thoughts that I had about other people, things that I would never have considered as a great deed here on earth, but just simply something that I felt for someone else, a love.
And when I experienced that, then I knew that it wasn't in me to be the loving person that I could have been.
I also noticed, when we were talking earlier about my spiritual body, and I noticed how dim my body was, the light from my body, that just the simple glow from that.
Often when I'm out on speaking engagements, I tell people trying to describe this, that it would be compared to the greater light.
It was like seven watts of light compared to thousands and thousands of watts, if you can imagine it.
And this is what distinguishes the great ones on the other side in heaven.
I'm calling it heaven not because that name was given me, but because we think of heaven as being a beautiful place, and so most people can connect with that thought.
So in heaven, these glorious beings of tremendous light are that way because of the love that is within them.
And this is what God is.
God is love.
And so that love flowed from them.
It is who they are.
And my little seven watts of light was so humiliating.
And I was very embarrassed.
I was a very judgmental person.
And I was shown that life here on earth, this earth, is not as we think it to be.
That, in fact, the heaven scrolls back is the best way I can describe it.
And they said, Betty, look down.
We want to show you something.
And they showed me a man, a drunken bum, I call him, that was laying on the street.
And they said, what do you see?
And I said, in that judgmental attitude or tone, why, just a drunken old bum.
And they said, we want to show you what this man looks like in spirit.
And so they took this man's spirit and they stood it before me.
And I was so embarrassed, I will never forget that humiliation.
And they said, this man, because he glowed with this tremendous light, they said he gave his entire life on earth to one other soul.
He is going to lay on that street until this man passes him.
And when their eyes connect, that spiritual passage, that love is going to be felt.
And that love is going to change the entire world of this other man.
actually they told me he was an attorney.
unidentified
And because that man changed I didn't think that many of them made it.
There is hell in that hell is the opposite of heaven, and it is expressed that way in the Bible because it shows us one of the worst things that could happen to us, just as we think the worst thing that could happen to us is death.
And there is no death.
But hell, as I understood it, is not a place, but it is a state of mind, a state of being.
It is what you take with you when you leave this earth, and something that is difficult to be removed from because it is your belief.
They certainly do, and many, many of these people, I was shown so many incredible things that I couldn't even write about them in Embraced or any of my books because I'll tell you, I mean, it's been 26 years since I had the experience.
Well, you know, when you fill out a resume to get a job, you can lie a little bit and BS and write down experience you didn't have and that kind of stuff.
I have this feeling that when you get to that point, to the blackness or the white light, or near the white light, that you can't cheat on your resume.
And, you know, once you've experienced the beauty and the love of God as I experienced it, there is nothing compelling here on this earth that would make you want to lie because you would not want to jeopardize returning where you came from.
Now, there is nothing on this earth that appeals to me.
I want to go back and I want to go back where I was, where God took me.
I want to go there, maybe even higher if possible.
I want to complete my mission here on this earth.
It's been my compelling force, my drive.
One of the reasons I am here is because he wants his spiritual children to understand his true nature and not to fear him.
I was shown all the devastation, the possibilities of the earth and its change and all of its corruption and how we become corrupted.
I was shown all of that.
But I was told that the most important thing is not to fear that because there is no death.
And that, yes, you can prepare to live longer on this earth.
You know, there's much to do about getting your preparations for all your water and your food.
And all of this should be done.
But there's a step that's even greater than that, and that is preparing your spirit to meet God.
And when you don't have fear of death, nothing is going to harm you because there is no such thing as death.
And this is why he sent me back.
I have to tell people about this.
I have to let them know that God's true nature is one of love and not that he is going to separate us and throw us into a fiery pit of hell, but that at any point in our life, we can change what we are doing and redirect our thoughts and our deeds and come closer to him.
And when we do that, we have no need for fear.
Spirits are being called by God to awaken to him now more than ever before.
And even before the earth was created, we knew what his plan was.
Betty, I want to know what you say to all of these neurosurgeons and doctors who have commented on the experience you're now talking about, and they say, oh, listen.
It's the brain dying from the outside in.
It's a natural process.
Death is a natural process and a process unto itself.
And that your brain begins to die from the outside in.
And people do see that center as they approach it, as the brain cells die.
And the brain and the body, at this point, issue some sort of endorphin or some sort of something or another that is intended to ease the process of death.
Yeah, in the early part of Embrace by the Light, when it first went out, I was attacked by many people, including doctors, who made these comments that you are suggesting here.
Yes, yes.
But most doctors now, and I have gone out and I've spoken to groups of doctors, 350, 400 and some odd doctors, nurses.
She's making a very good point about her husband, isn't she?

You're listening to Art Bell Somewhere in Time, tonight featuring a replay of Coast to Coast AM from September 8th, 1999.
Weird story at this hour coming out of Portland, Maine.
There is a beach mystery underway in Maine.
Millions of tiny AP describes them as squishy creatures washed up onto southern Maine beaches over the Labor Day weekend, and thus far nobody knows what they are.
One lifeguard says they look kind of like clear jelly beans.
One scientist speculates maybe their hurricane somehow brought them ashore.
Weird stuff going on in our environment, to be sure.
Betty Eady is my guest, and we were talking about the scientists who absolutely stridently maintain that the sort of thing she experienced in great detail is a chemical combined with a dying brain.
But as you pointed out, you saw your husband, you noticed the time, you observed their actions, you later told him, and he verified all that's true.
That sure does throw a kink into the old dying brain theory.
One might even say maybe my husband would agree to that and conjured up, maybe we conjured this up together.
In the second book I wrote, in The Awakening Heart, there's a beautiful story that a friend of mine who is a physician who had a near-death experience, he actually died and came back to life four days after his death.
And he chose to come back during his autopsy because he wanted the physicians that were around his body to see that God could bring you back to life or put you back into your body at any state that he chose.
And so this man actually came back after the Y had already been cut, after some of his organs had already been moved, and much to the shock of the doctors that were around his body.
All of this is documented, as a matter of fact.
And so it's not just my experience, but there are millions of experiencers who share similar stories.
And, you know, we're beyond the, we're beyond, it's much like the conversation you were having earlier about UFOs.
You know, we are intelligent beings.
And I think that we are beyond the point now of denying what we do not understand.
The fact is, as they explained to me, that we are all going through a period of growth, and to experience the different worlds is a part of that.
And so, yes, is there reincarnation?
Yes, but not in the sense that we think it to be, but rather that we experience our life here on this earth, and there are other worlds that we will experience hereafter.
Understanding it and looking at it from that point of view is just absolutely mind-boggling.
Well, the evidence for that would be borne out, and I know you know about the lady who had the heart and lungs transplanted onto her from, I believe, an 18-year-old boy or a youngster.
And she woke up with cravings for, I think it was beer and pizza, I don't know what it was, what an 18-year-old would want.
And then later, and this is what really blew me away, Betty.
But actually, one of the things, again, that I was taught while I was there, and that is that these electrical waves, our voices, yours and mine right now, travel not only to radio to radio, but it actually, the vibrations of our tones that we produce literally enter in to every person on this earth.
And it is through these tones that they caution me that understanding the tones is very important because we can raise or lower the vibrations of an individual by the tones in our voice.
unidentified
What is the present state of the collective, Betty?
Right now, the reason why this earth is going through the tremendous change that it is obviously heading towards is a true indicator of where we are collectively.
We are in a very low, very negative vibration.
This can be raised.
All of this does not need to happen.
It absolutely can be changed if we change our level of thought, if we change our level of our deeds, because everything that we do is given a value, an energy.
You know, we talk about, and I believe in numerology, I believe in astrology, I believe in all of that.
And so this is kind of a fearful day for many people because they have looked forward to this day and some people with trepidation, with a tremendous amount of fear.
And this is why I continue out there with my work, art, because I want to help people overcome fear.
I want to raise the vibrations.
I want to dispel fear because fear and guilt are our heaviest energies.
Fear, guilt, and of course shame.
And that lowers us, that lowers self-worth.
Everything goes to the lowest energy.
For those that must believe in Satan, and Satan does exist as an energy of negativity.
God, although God is a being that I experienced, I mean, I literally saw this man as God.
Now, you can interpret that any way that you would feel that you had to.
Some people might say, well, I had a belief in God prior to my death, and so therefore I saw him as a being, a male figure, because some people believe, of course, God is female.
What I saw was a perfectly balanced being.
This being had feminine and masculine qualities about him.
But I knew that Satan was also a being, but that his energy would be that of a negative.
And because in order for us to experience Earth and all that we would want to create, we would have to have that energy, just like we have to have up and down and north, south, east, and west.
We must have the opposing force, just like strengthening a muscle.
You must have that opposing force in order to build that muscle.
what i mean is at that same moment without the uh...
the insights or the the lock i guess to go and come back uh...
a person arriving at that point of darkness if that's their arrival location in the at all who didn't believe in god at all i guess you can only speculate but i mean i i would i would
And I can tell you stories, and these are some of the stories I share in the Ripple Effect, as a matter of fact.
These are stories of people that come from different belief systems, different faiths, that had near-death experiences and actually experienced like what I experienced.
And so what I would like to see more than anything else, I think, on earth, and that is that people come together and forget about their religious structure, their current religious structure, and start investigating these experiences.
Let's find out.
Let's compare.
Let's weigh and measure these things and find out what people are truly experiencing.
I know that everyone comes from their own perception.
So you're telling me that of those people that you do know of who have an experience like this who did not believe in God, absolutely, they had the same experience.
I actually have met and have letters in the book, The Ripple Effect, from Jewish people, Buddhists, who wrote me letters and shared their experiences with me, and they met Christ.
Now, that was quite a shock to them because this man was not in their experience.
Now, Jesus was a part of my experience, a part of my religious background.
It would be natural for me to say, call this being Jesus.
I think there are more Buddhists and others than there are Christians.
But anyway, you've got to figure at best 50-50, half the people in the world don't believe in Christ and God as we know them.
So I just, you know, I just, this has always been something that I have struggled with terribly, Betty, and that is that there are good and bad people of faith and no faith.
There are good and bad people of various faiths.
Absolutely.
But what you seem to suggest when you say what you say is that there's only one true path.
As a matter of fact, I was told that there wasn't.
So this was what, again, was something that I had to rethink as far as my religious background, which was at that, in my early youth, was Catholicism and a Protestant, of course.
And so it was very difficult for me.
This wasn't an easy experience at all.
And then to come out with Embraced by the Light, of course, I know that it crosses many paths, many lives that do not believe in God.
But I have to share the experience as I experienced it.
And so this is why I'm greatly interested in research being done in this area, great research, not what we're doing now, but I mean on biased, so that we can get to the root of all of this.
But I'm just merely sharing the truths as I see them and from people that have experienced near-death experiences, even children who have not been taught of God.
And I have received a lot of criticism for having written this in embrace because I told it as I experienced it.
And I literally threw myself down in the presence of Jesus and Told him that under no circumstances was I going to go back to Earth, that I was finished with Earth, I was through, and that nothing that he could say or do was going to make me go back.
And he said, I will show you, but after it is shown to you, he said, it will be removed from your consciousness because you cannot take it back with you.
And I agreed to that.
Well, I have to say, I do not know what my mission is, but I know that whatever it was, I agreed to do it because.
I made Jesus promise that the moment my mission is complete, that I would come back home to him.
And he promised me.
Now, I believe in God because I saw him.
And I know that God would never lie.
There's nothing but truth in him.
And so the minute my mission is complete, or the minute that any one of our missions are complete, because each one of us, when we were in heaven or back home, I like to refer to it as, when we were back home with him, we came here because he chose us to And because we agreed to, we wanted to, and we each came with a purpose in mind.
And I know that that goes against any normal thought that we could possibly or would possibly have.
But you see, every action, every deed, everything that is permitted and allowed by God is for our growth, whether it is individual growth or collectively as a society.
When we see this horror happening, then it is up to each one of us to make a change.
And this is why we vote for the right people.
This is why we set standards.
We are all responsible for every corruptible thing here on this earth.
Our environmental degradation, what we're doing to the planet, and the course we're on right now, while I understand that it's a good thing to preach love, because I too believe that's what it's all about.
But I'll tell you, I was shown something else, Art, that encourages me.
And that is that at this moment of time, right now, we are in this stage of awakening.
God has already called many people to come forward in this crusade, if you will.
As though these people are warring angels upon this earth.
Many of these people that are warring angels are not men, but they are women.
And he told me that these women are women of wisdom.
They're not coming forward in a movement of women as has been done in the past.
But these are women that are going to step forward and say, no more.
This will not happen to my children anymore.
I want the laws to be changed.
I don't know how involved you are with what's going on with the young people these days, but I have grandchildren and children who are afraid to correct, much less punish them, for their deeds.
These are kids that are becoming very undisciplined.
And not only in their thought, but in their behavior.
It's very embarrassing to be out and to see people with their children misbehaving, and those children, or parents, begin to panic because the law can literally take their children away from them and punish them, throw them in jail if they even correct that child with a SWAT.
This is how we have torn apart our families have become torn apart.
There is this chance, because I was shown it, I literally saw it, that we can make a change and that this change is about to happen.
And I'll tell you, we can do this through the power of our prayer, which prayers were also shown to me as being the most powerful spoken words upon this earth.
Everything that we speak with our mouth, we create.
Everything, even our curse words, illnesses are produced by the words that we use.
We can change the energy on this planet by watching our words and by using positive things, words and emotions and doing deeds.
This can happen.
It doesn't have to end the way I see that it could also go if we do not make these changes.
Well, of course, you're not going to hear too much new from me.
I think just about everyone speaks of this, and that is the tremendous weather changes that was shown to me.
The earthquakes, in fact, I live in an area.
I actually saw all that could happen in this ring of fire that we have with the volcanic eruptions that are all not only possibilities, but of course they are predicted to happen.
I saw the mountains and that the mountains, tall mountains, literally laid down and became one with the valleys.
And of course, when the mountains lay down, other parts of the earth have to raise up.
And so no one, you know, people can say that they want to go to this state or that state to get away from anything, all the disasters.
It's an impossibility.
Because where something happens on one side of the world, something else is going to happen on another side.
And what they told me was that, number one, they had no interest in coming on the air, really didn't want to come on the air, but came on the air because what they knew was coming, they said, has now begun.
It's already begun.
In other words, this is not something we're forecasting.
We're here tonight, they said, to tell you it has begun.
And some people have literally thought, and I've taken polls on this during my speaking engagements and found that some people literally go into their closets to pray.
When I came back to my hospital bed after the experience, five demons came into the room.
I could see them very clearly.
And as they were approaching me, a dome of light came down over my entire body, protecting me from them.
Even as I'm telling you now about this art, I could close my eyes and visualize those creatures because they were so frightening looking.
And they crawled on this dome of light, scratching, growling, carrying on in a very vicious way.
As that was happening to me, the three guardian angels that were there with me told me that I was shown this because I needed to know that I would be protected here upon this earth and that Satan was very angry that I came back and that he had sent these demons to destroy me.
But that would not happen.
I've reflected on this time and time and time again.
And I thank God every day that I have this dome of protection because as I've thought about the experience, as I have tried to glean every ounce of knowledge from it, I can only imagine these demons then as being demons of my own creation.
Because I know that each one of us, we have things that we allow in our space.
We allow things that bring us down, pull us down, that tear at us, beat at us.
They are our creation because they don't exist.
They are an illusion actually.
Because they don't really exist except in our minds.
We allow them there.
We place them there.
And or, and I thought of this as well, there simply are negative energies upon this earth.
And we talk about the bad people, the more than bad people, the absolutely evil people that exist upon this earth.
Energy of like energy attracts.
And so if you are an evil person, say, and because of the energy, and people, you've probably heard people talk about auras and some people don't like to hear the word because they tag you as new age.
And so that shuts all the doors of their expanded knowledge.
And so I prefer to call it energy field, or you can simply call it, if you don't even like that, call it presence.
It doesn't matter.
It exists.
That energy field around each one of us attracts like energy.
And so if you are a loving person, you attract love.
If you are a hateful person, you actually attract that energy to you.
Evil people attract evil things to them.
Anything that is done upon this earth that is of an evil nature leaves an energy.
This is how we get haunted houses.
This is why there are chills that run up and down people's spines when they go by someplace that someone was killed horrendously.
There are some people who are trapped here only in that they are so locked to the earth that their energy of their earthly self draws them and keeps them here.
It kind of goes, you might even say, like people that are dying and they have a room full of loved ones and the loved ones, because of their love for the person dying, they literally hold them to their mortal self.
As soon as the loved ones decide to take a break and go out for dinner or coffee break or whatever they're doing, that loved one dies.
And then those coming back have this horrendous guilt because they left the room.
And they wonder why that loved one left while they were gone.
It's because they were drawn to stay.
And this happens.
But this other energy is what you could attach Satan to.
Because these can take on this negative energy can take on life form.
Betty, I read your book many years ago, and it really did impress me.
There was something that you said earlier, though, that we were spirits that came from God and that we're here to get our spirits ready to go back to meet Him.
And I was curious, if we were a spirit with God, why do we have to get our spirit ready again to go back to meet Him once we already knew him?
I think, yes, I probably said something similar to that.
And what I mean by that is that we are spirits that came here to develop by expressing our love for one another.
And right now, as the earth is going through all of its change, the most important thing to me for each one of us to do, if we are not going to make this earthly change, the total change,
the energy of the world change by our collective interest in raising our moral standards and all of our other standards as high as we possibly can get them, then we must prepare our souls to meet God because that is, of course, going to happen.
And I would prefer to be spiritually ready to go back home where I originated, where you originated, than I would to spend all of my time preparing physically to die or to remain here on earth.
Okay, it's more important to me to be ready spiritually than it is to be ready physically for anything.
unidentified
You know, Betty, there's a scripture in the Bible that's, and I believe it was Jesus himself that said it, That all spirit goeth back to the Father who gave it.
A lot of people don't realize that that are Christians, but that has always been a scripture that really has made me stop and question a lot of things.
That's given in another place, incidentally, and that is that the Good Shepherd would leave the 99 sheep and go for the one lost sheep.
It states very clearly that God, you know, anyone that thinks that God, who is a mighty, powerful being, is going to lose one of his creation to Satan just simply don't understand who God is.
And you know, most people that have this, even the experience that you just had, once you enter that love, you know that there is something, a mission that you are to perform.
You know, the interesting part about this is that God doesn't necessarily let us know what it is because just existing upon this earth and continuing to be guided by the Spirit, if you want to call it that, you will be directed to perform your mission.
I have heard from just about every faith, including yoga, which I always, you know, I practice yoga in that I use it to keep my weight down as an exercise, but I never knew it to be a religion.
And so I was quite surprised when I started to receive all these books and I learned that that was a religion.
So I've heard from just about every belief.
I don't know what everyone believes, just as I didn't know that you included Christ.
I have just learned, actually, that the Native Americans, and I learned this from some of the Canadian, Native Canadians, that their legends include Christ.
And so there's a lot more about Christ than what we know.
unidentified
Oh, yes.
You see, it's an article of faith to believe in all the messengers, including Jesus Christ.
For example, in the morning when we wake up, we thank God for giving that spirit back to us that we get up and we thank Him for where we are and what we are.
You don't have to have a near-death experience to experience God.
I mean, you can simply have a spiritual experience.
Or I don't know how many people know this, but at nighttime when we sleep, this is when our spirit is in contact with God.
And during the night hours, when we have dreams, and it's always good to keep a dream book because our connections are there.
And often we are shown things, given premonitions.
Sometimes we are just shown things symbolically so that we can get in touch with what's happening to our life.
You don't have to study this in order to progress in life, though, because your subconscious mind holds this, and it also, your spirit using that redirects your path.
An interesting question for you, Betty, and you need not answer this, but I've asked it of people like Gary North and others.
And it is, you have saved some extra food for others, which is fine, but at some point, were that to be gone, and the others kept coming, and it came down to the supplies for your family or the people who were knocking on the door, what would you do?
I try not to go to this conversation because I was actually shown a couple of different ways that this could go.
One way is horror.
And the other way is the way that I hope that this goes.
What I was shown, I actually saw large white trucks that were coming to homes and picking up the food and taking them to places like schools and churches.
And they were keeping the food there for people in that neighborhood.
The other that I saw was actually people killing for the food.
And so it's my prayer that we use this other method.
I guess each one of our homes have to store and stock water and food because we don't know what streets are going to be totally destroyed in and out or whatever.
And being here in Seattle, I-5 is just about, and 90 are the only two main roads.
Food would be very difficult to bring to Seattle area.
So each home is actually a storehouse for food, and I think that collecting it and taking it to a place and dividing it up amongst the people there is the best idea.
The other way is chaos and murder.
And I wouldn't want to see that.
I would give my food up, to tell you, quite honestly.
Let's say if we were invaded by something or someone else, this would put a major impact on the world where we would have to come together and forget everything about our problems, our differences, because we would be just transferring, though, our aggression from against each other to a common defense to kill the little green guys coming in.
Ronald Reagan made some very interesting comments about that.
Yeah, how it would be unifying, why if they came down, it would be unifying, and we'd have to have a common defense.
I'm not sure that's the kind of spiritual growth Betty's talking about.
unidentified
Right.
Well, I'm not necessarily saying, I'm just using this as an example.
I'm not necessarily saying that we would have to fight against something.
I mean, it wouldn't have to be destruction.
It just would be something that has to be something we couldn't explain that would make everybody be curious and forget everything else.
But I had a story I wanted to tell Betty real quick.
And I believe everything I've been listening tonight, and I believe everything she's been saying.
I've never had one of these near-death experiences, but I've always believed very similar things that she's been talking about.
And I don't know why.
It's just a natural thing for me.
But my mom had cancer.
She got cancer back in November of last year.
And it was really hard for me to take because I live away from my family.
I moved away.
I live at least 600 or so miles away.
And I was very close to my mom.
But she told me that she totally knew she could get through it and she had faith.
And she just told me that if you have a positive outlook on things and if you believe that you can defeat anything that you want, and she prayed and prayed and prayed.
And I'll tell you, she had this cancer that was probably one of the worst kinds.
And she went through some of the hardest and harshest treatments.
And not one time during this whole time did she suffer.
Did she ever get sick?
Did she ever feel bad?
She might have felt tired or something, but people couldn't understand this.
And less than six months, I would say it was less than six months, it is 100% gone.
In fact, there's one doctor that goes about, he wrote a book about the power of that type of thing, the power of the mind or the power of prayer, as you just said.
And what that equals, they found out, they experimented, and they found this group of doctors, and they found that what the prayer was, was love.
One thing on the doubtful side of this would be that in excess of 50% of ills that are complained about by people are capable of being cured with placebos.
But not to leave people feeling bad, those that have cancer that are not going to be cured, because many people say, I have faith in God, I believe, I pray, I do all these wonderful things, and still my body is being destroyed by this disease.
That's right.
That is absolutely something that I think that all of us have to come to accept, and that is that we are all born terminal.
We will all die.
I had a woman call me and say she had six months to live because the doctors had diagnosed her with cancer, and they said six months.
And I said, well, I don't know that I have that long.
And before we came here to this earth anyway, we chose the time that we would be here.
We knew that we would be here for a certain length of time.
And we also, and I know this is going to sound absolutely astounding, but we also chose the way that we would leave or our possible way of leaving.
And often These ways of leaving is through illness, and that illness can be a tremendous blessing or a lesson to those that we are leaving, and even through the very last moments.
And this is why I do not believe in Javorkians' method of exiting people, because that is almost like suicide.
I know several years ago I came upon the realization that any of the things that people thought they were imagining might have their mind controlling it, you know.
And that I thought that I might have lived somewhere else before, but then I suddenly realized when I found out more information, my grandfather had lived back in that area at one time.
And I thought, gee, maybe that's what happened.
Maybe I inherited some of his memory or feeling or somehow.
Like, he had a mule kick him in the back when he was in the service.
He was in the Civil War.
And he took care of mules.
And my lower back is filled with arthritis.
And I'm a truck driver, so I run all over the road.
And of course, that doesn't help my back, but that's okay.
You see, what you're saying is so absolutely true.
And if you were to check your family tree, if you could even get some records, you will find that your signature is going to perfectly match with someone in your past, or your great-grandfather or great-grandmother or someone.
And an important thing for people that horrible things have happened to them, like women who have been raped as young children, they carry this pain within them.
This is passed on and on and on.
But those who understand cellular memory, you can stop that by not passing it on within yourselves, by actually doing the visualization and taking that and cleansing it from your body.
It's a very interesting process, but it can be done.
unidentified
Now, would you have to do that through a psychiatrist or someone else?
And this is going to be a very powerful method that will be used in the future to heal because we won't necessarily have everything that we have right now these days should all of this devastation happen.
