| David Bourdon East-Bay, Berkeley I.A.N.D.S. |
| Dave Bourdon is a professional writer whose interest in NDE's began with process of writing a screenplay about a politician who has a near-death experience. This path led to IANDS, and a transformative path that resulted in his writing the NDE Paradigm, a spiritual compass based on the highest wisdom of NDErs. Dave has facilitated the East Bay group for two years, and stresses that Berkeley IANDS meetings welcome not just NDErs, but all those interested in the life-altering effect of this phenomenon. |
NDE'r Lewis Griggs & Dave Bourdon Group Discussion, Using NDE Wisdom in Daily Life. Monday, September 27, 2010 7:30-9:30 PM BFUU, 1924 Cedar Street, Berkeley One of the most overlooked truths of the near-death experience is this: the same wisdom that causes many NDErs to change their lives and perceptions forever is available to everyone…. with the same life-altering results for all. This month, we’re going to have a group discussion about how to apply this wisdom on a daily basis – with results you will see and experience immediately. You’ll leave this evening’s meeting better equipped to deal with tomorrow’s challenges – guaranteed! As East Bay IANDS facilitator for the past five years, I’ll be distributing a paper detailing actions you can take to alter your life for the better. I’m not a NDEr – but the insights of the wisest NDErs changed my life completely, and continues to do so. I’ll explain why. And NDEr Lewis Griggs, a professional moderator and standout speaker at last year’s IANDS international conference, will lead our conversation. Lewis had his NDE as a result of a car crash in Berkeley – it changed his values and his life direction forever. He found a new appreciation for all others, a luminous quality that he has brought to our meetings for several years now. Life is difficult – and it was meant to be that way, most NDEr say. But much of the pain in our lives is self-inflicted, coming from false perceptions about the purpose of life and our relationships with others. In this meeting, we’ll clear away these mis perceptions by analyzing how we approach problems – and detail a far better way of doing so. Near-death experiences – with their revelation of eternal life and non-judgment – are fascinating enough just to study. But it is the application of the “lessons from the light” that makes NDE’s valuable to everyone in this life on a moment-to-moment basis. And on this night, we’ll share this knowledge will each other. Be prepared to join in, and leave with a glow! |

| Near-Death Experiencer Ray Kinman (from Biography Channel’s“I Survived …Beyond and Back”) Ray Kinman and the golden columns he witnessed in his Near-Death Experience. MONDAY, January 23, 2012 7:30 -- 9:30 PM Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarian Universalists 1924 Cedar Street (at Bonita), Berkeley Dear Friend of IANDS, What’s it like to die at the age of 9 and to meet God? That’s the story of our guest speaker this month, Ray Kinman. Ray’s NDE was featured just a few months ago in an episode of the Biography Channel series “I Survived… Beyond and Back.” But if you saw that episode, you only got part of the story. A 1966 accident in San Pedro, CA. resulted in Ray’s head hitting concrete. His brain swelled; meanwhile, his tongue blocked his airway. “I became pain,” he recalls. “It was an explosion.” The boy found himself in a place with “No gravity, no color, no darkness, no light.” Says Ray, “I didn’t know where I was or how I had gotten there. I was absolutely terrified.” But when he let go of the fear, he felt better. And then he saw a pinpoint of light “10 million times brighter than the sun.” He travelled through a tunnel and met a kindly being who knew him… and who introduced him to God. “Beautiful, blissful pure love” is how he describes the encounter. But against his desires, he was told he must return. When he recovered, he told his mother what had happened. A devout Catholic, she took him to a priest, who told him that since he didn’t see Jesus in the experience, it was probably a trick of Satan. “I was crushed,” says Ray. He would try to bury his experience, but it wouldn’t go away… and years later, when the term “near-death experience” was created, he reaned. And now, some 45 years later, Ray is able to say, ”When I die I’ll have a big smile on my face… because I know what’s coming!” Come join us in welcoming Ray - and bring your questions! |
