On today’s episode, we welcome Lynn K. Russell, a profound thinker and researcher into near-death experiences (NDEs), who shares insights that stretch the boundaries of what we consider life and death. Imagine yourself looking out a window, gazing at a tree, when suddenly, you become that tree. That’s where Lynn starts, revealing a moment of spiritual transformation that took her beyond ordinary consciousness. She experienced what can only be described as pure oneness—becoming not just the tree, but the bird in the tree, the air that moves the leaves, and the soil that nurtures the roots. This sense of unity, Lynn says, is at the core of all life, a reminder that there is no separation between the seen and unseen worlds.Lynn, who worked closely with Dr. Jeffrey Long, a pioneer in NDE research, tells us that her quest began out of a fear of death. Raised by atheist parents, she was determined to find out what happens after we die. This curiosity led her to a lifetime of exploration into spirituality, religion, and the phenomenon of NDEs. As someone who has interviewed thousands of near-death experiencers, she brings us the wisdom of countless voices that have returned from the brink of death with a common message—there is only oneness. In fact, she explains, one of the most striking revelations is how we create our own death experiences. “The death experience is what we think should happen,” Lynn shares, adding that cultural and personal beliefs deeply shape how we transition.
One of the most profound aspects of NDEs Lynn describes is the life review—an experience where people see their lives in detail, but not just from their own perspective. Instead, they also feel what others felt in every interaction, whether positive or negative. It’s not about judgment from a higher power; it’s about self-awareness. “We are source,” Lynn says, explaining that we judge ourselves from this divine, all-knowing consciousness. She emphasizes the importance of understanding that we are not separate from the source—we are active creators of our reality, both in life and death. This revelation is not just transformative for those who’ve had NDEs, but for all of us who seek to understand our place in the universe.In Lynn’s own words: "We are magnificent, and we don’t know it. We can create and do anything we put our mind to." This is one of the most important takeaways from her work. For Lynn, the essence of our existence is love. Love is the foundation, the energy that binds us to one another, to the universe, and to the source itself. When we recognize this, we begin to understand that we are all connected—not just to each other, but to the very consciousness that creates and sustains life.
