Two years after Rosemary Thornton’s husband committed suicide, she was diagnosed with stage 2 cancer, and after a “minor medical procedure,” she returned to the emergency room and bled to “temporary death” and had no vital signs for 10+ minutes.

Assured by angels during her sojourn in the afterlife, Rosemary had a complete remission of cancer and rapidly healed from her medical trauma. She also had a healing from the grief of her husband’s earlier suicide. This profound NDE led her to completely transform her life.

For those looking for confirmation that NDEs are real, Rose’s atheistic neighbor who accompanied her to the emergency room heard an angel immediately after she flat lined who assured him that Rose would only be gone for a few minutes.

Rosemary’s book, Remembering the Light, is available on Amazon.

We are pleased to announce that our speaker for Friday, August  25, will be Bill English, president of the Utah Chapter of IANDS. A few years ago, Bill had an infection that nearly ended his life but resulted a leg amputation. This will be Bill’s first return to our local chapter since that time.

Many who have attended IANDS have heard Bill explain the nature of the near-death experience, and the purposes of the International Association for Near-Death Studies, one of which is to learn from those who have had an NDE.

In July 1991, Bill and his brother, Bob, were riding their ATVs in the sand dunes near Saint Anthony, Idaho. Bill’s machine threw him, and he landed on his head, breaking his back. After removal by helicopter to a local hospital, and later being transport to the U of U Medical Center, Bill’s medical emergency deepened. His brother was told that Bill probably would not live, and if he did live, he would be paralyzed and need help for the rest of his life. Bill was comatose for over four weeks. During that time, he had two out-of-body experiences.

We invite you to come and hear the experience that first gave Bill his insight into the nature of the NDE and the reality and nature of the afterlife, family connections beyond the grave, and the operation of healing and other powers on both sides of the veil.

Please join us for an evening with Bill August 25 at 7PM in the Salt Lake County Commission hearing Room in the north building of the County Government Center located at 2001 South State, SLC.   We meet the fourth Friday of each month except December.  Bring a fiend to hear this special presentation.

We are pleased to announce that Eloise Weaver will be our speaker Friday, July 28, 2023. Eloise has had two brushes with death that erased the veil.

The first experience was when Eloise was nine or ten years old.  She had Rheumatic Fever and was very sick and bed-ridden for about three months.  One evening, her parents left her to take her little brother to the hospital because he had swallowed something.  Eloise was afraid and prayed for help.  Jesus came to see her, told her not to be afraid and cured her.  

The next experience occurred when Eloise, her husband and their daughter were in a terrible car accident while on vacation in Montana.  Eloise’s neck was broken and her husband was killed.  Eloise left her body and met with her husband’s spirit in the air.  He told her he was being called home but she had to stay and raise their daughters.

Please join us this Friday, July 28, 2023 at 7 PM  to hear details of Eloise’s experience with Jesus and her NDE with her husband and, how they profoundly changed her life.  Please share this announcement with friends who might be interested. Our meetings are free to the public.

A few days after the birth of her twin daughters, unforeseen medical complications resulted in a life-changing near-death experience for Emilie Spear. Emilie eloquently describes her vivid encounter with an eternal, graceful, intelligent and all-encompassing love. She brings the audience to the bank of the “Pool of Peace” where she released her human struggles, strains, tensions, pains and attachments. Regardless of the experience, she witnessed how this Divine Love forgave, embraced and dissolved each experience until Oneness emerged. Upon her heart-moving decision to return, she met with Beloved Jesus and made a Promise to bring back her experience to share with others the insights on how to cultivate this Heavenly experience within the day-to-day living of today’s world of complexity through forgiveness and compassion, bringing greater peace, harmony and joy.

Emilie Spear is a dedicated mother, wife and successful businesswoman who has had a deep and lifelong spiritual practice. As a student of life, Emilie continues to deepen her understanding on how to bring this Heavenly experience to everyday life. She shares through poetry, insights and stories in hopes to inspire and uplift others to heal, forgive, embrace and honor oneself and others as the Pool of Peace had done for her. Hearing this life-changing experience will leave you on the edge of your seat, opening the heart to living a life with greater kindness, peace and harmony.

She shares her writing at www.facebook.com/emilie.deiblerspear. “The Pool of Peace” is published in “We Touched Heaven” by Claudia Edge (on Amazon) and can be downloaded for free at www.awakeningpeacewithin.com.

Utah IANDS is excited to announce our May speaker Matthew Dovel, featured on ABC news 20/20 and Coast-to-Coast radio. 

Matthew’s first NDE at age 12 happened when he almost drowned. He was engulfed by a white light that permeated his very soul.

Later, due to tremendous trials, Matthew tried to kill himself and went to a dark place he describes as hell, from where he was redeemed and brought back.

This is a unique story of someone who has experienced the worst place, and the best place, in the very presence of Jesus.

Matthew is an advocate of suicide prevention and a frequent speaker. He lives in Las Vegas. Nevada and will be sharing his story via Zoom on our large screen, in our Conference room. 

Matthew has developed online suicide prevention programs found at supporisp.org. The program is described at nu-rekall.com

In 1981 Ted had back surgery after a motorcycle accident. The five-hour surgery had complications, during which Ted died on the operating table. The extraordinary part of Ted’s NDE is that he met his father, who had been murdered. Ted hardly knew his father, who he had only seen a few times when he was young before his father was killed. Ted was able to become close to his father during his NDE. After their reunion and discussion on the other side of the veil, Ted’s father explained that it was not Ted’s time to die and he had to go back to earth. Ted’s father gave him some insights into his future and sent him back into his body on the operating table, which involved excruciating pain.

Later, in 1989, working as a mechanic, Ted was on top of a truck fixing an air horn. He slipped and fell down to the concrete floor. Ted was knocked out. His sinuses were seriously damaged, resulting in recurring, serious sinus infections. During one bout with infections, as Ted was brought into St Mark’s Hospital on a stretcher, the pain was so severe that Ted became exhausted. With his will to live gone, he gave up fighting for his life and died. On the other side of the veil again, this time Ted saw his aunt, who told him the same thing his father had eight years before during his first NDE, that he wasn’t supposed to be there, he had to go back, it wasn’t his time yet, because he had more to do in life. Again, Ted went back and woke up in his physical body in the hospital, in pain.

We invite you to hear firsthand from Ted his extraordinary story of bonding in the spirit world with his murdered father and the insights and lessons he learned on the other side about life, its struggles, and its purposes.

Come hear Ted Whiting in person. Here are the details:

We have the privilege of having Jeff Fusco speak to us via zoom Friday March 24, 2023.

Jeff Fusco, executive vice-president of healthcare at GBS Corp, had a near-death experience in the hospital suffering from COVID. As he was deciding whether he wanted to live or die he was wrapped in God’s arms and was told that whatever he decided would be alright and decided to live. A few days later he had another encounter with a spirit who attempted to entice him to not live. Jeff’s recovery is something of a miracle as he had kidney and liver failure, potential brain damage, was projected to be wheelchair bound, and lost roughly 5 gallons of blood.

Here is a news link about Jeff Fusco:

We have the privilege of having three-time NDEr Rev. Bill McDonald speak to us in person, Friday February 24, 2023

Bill McDonald is an International Inspirational Speaker, Best-Selling Author, Minister, Documentary Film Advisor, decorated war veteran, Award Winning Poet, Meditation Teacher, Artist, World-Wide Advocate for Veterans, and so much more.

His whole life has been a mystical trip in search of self-discovery and the purpose of life. He has been on a continuous spiritual journey, spanning slightly over 7 decades. He has written many books about his spiritually transformative experiences and his 3 “near-death-experiences” including supernatural events during his combat tour-of-duty in the Vietnam War (1966-67).

His autobiography “Warrior A Spiritual Odyssey” takes us on a life quest for love, understanding, forgiveness and enlightenment, including his experiences as an Army door-gunner/crew-chief on a Huey helicopter during the Vietnam War. He was wounded, shot down many times and almost captured.

His follow-up book “Alchemy of a Warrior’s Heart “continues his mystical journey including four trips to India for even more profound experiences with holy men, miracles and his personal relationship with the Divine.

Rev. Bill, as he is known, is involved is many non-profits, most of which he founded with a principal focus on veterans issues. He helps veterans because he served in Vietnam as a helicopter door gunner and was raised by a father who had PTSD from from his service in WWII. He is highly decorated for his valiant service.

Rev. Bill has been able to accumulate healing and spiritual practices from many far-away parts of the world in his spiritual quests. He will conduct a free self-healing workshop (physical, spiritual, mental) Saturday afternoon, February 25 from 1 to 5 pm in our same meeting location. For further explanation of the workshop, visit his YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXUVf8UOT237rw2RfsB9haA.

We are very fortunate to have two-time NDEr Rev. Peter Panagore speak to us in-person, Friday January 27, 2023.

In March of 1980, college senior Peter Panagore went ice climbing on the world-famous Lower Weeping Wall, along the Ice Fields Parkway in Alberta, Canada. His climbing partner was an experienced ice climber, but Panagore was a novice. On their descent, they became trapped on the side of the mountain. As the sun set, he was overcome by exhaustion and hypothermia. He died on the side of that mountain in 1980. In his minutes on the other side, he experienced hell, forgiveness, and unconditional love. His experience in heaven was beautiful and is also the title of his book by that name.

Panagore’s near death experience (NDE) changed his life and resulted in an intense spiritual journey that has continued for decades. It impelled him to pursue a master’s degree at Yale Divinity School focusing on systematic theology and Christian mysticism. His educational background coupled with 30 years of yogic and meditative practice and 20 years of professional work with the dying and grieving has given him unique insight, language, and perspective on heaven, God, death, life, love, beauty, and hope.

“I have told my story to audiences large and small for a decade now…. My story touches people’s hearts; every time I tell it the audience is gripped and silent…. Heaven is Beautiful is about hope. It is meant to give real hope to the dying, hope to the fearful, hope to the hopeless, hope to the grieving.”

From the words of former IANDS president, Janice Holden, “As a speaker, Peter Panagore is beyond gifted: He is inspired – by the Spirit with which he connected in his near-death experience decades ago and to which he remains connected to this day. His story is compelling not only in its details but also in its implications for every person and for humanity at large. Those who hear him speak are sure to feel touched and to come away with an abundance of food for thought and reflection.”
