u/WinnerNDE

Good morning all. Just want to reintroduce myself. I'm the author of two books on the subject of NDEs. The first is You're Going To Die Someday, Right?: Near Death Experiences Reveal What Happens Next. The primary new concept in this book is that ancient NDEs suffered by homo sapiens hundreds of thousands of years ago who then told their amazing stories around campfires eventually transformed into everything we now know as "God," "soul," "heaven," "afterlife," - all of it. NDEs are not a new phenomena, we have been having them forever, and they are generally very similar in nature.

My second book - Hell Exists, But Only for the Living: The Origins of Hell - basically plays the same card, but this time it turns out that Fear Coma Experiences (FCE) are the original culprit. Any human can get severely injured or sick and end up in a coma. While the physical body is offline and can't move, the brain is still firing full bore. It generates as much fear as possible in a attempt to get you to survive whatever it was that just just trying to kill you. The primary currency of fear is motivation. Fear makes you move. When you're body can't move, your brain dumps more fear. And so it goes. In a nutshell, that's where "hell" comes from - originally. Or so the data indicates...

I went down this rabbit hole because all of the "hellscape" imagery generally does not appear in an authentic NDE. Historically they've been called "distressing NDEs." My investigation and studies indicate these seem to actually be Fear Coma Experiences (FCE) when there's no clinical death at all, and no indication of any of the traditional NDE sorts of things.

Now, what's even more cool and rare are "Welded NDEs." That's a person who get's critically injured, goes into a coma, suffers through and FCE, but then also flatline clinically dies at some point and also has an authentic traditional NDE as part of the same experience. The two elements seem to become "welded" together in the mind of the person who lived through that, and it's exceptionally hard for them to separate the different elements into different compartments because there are no timestamps in either an FCE or and NDE. Hence the formula - FCE + NDE = WNDE or Welded Near Death Experience. That's the material I'm working on right now.

I'm researching, investigating, writing, and exploring on a daily basis. I'm a retired Air Force military intelligence analyst. I'm a Korean and Spanish linguist, NSA analyst, Special Operations SIGINT intelligence operative, as well as an investigative journalist who has put several serial killers in prison. I've been on CBS's 48 Hours (twice), Dateline, Nightline, Discovery ID, BBC, CBC, and others. Those are some of my credentials. All of that experience allows me to examine the NDE material as pure data. No spin, no bias, no agenda. Just investigate, study, learn, follow the data. That's what I do.

I collect all of these things on my website winnernde.com. That's the flagship where everything gets published first. I'm also on about nine (at last count) social media platforms, all branded under the "Winner NDE" title. So, long format videos for YouTube, shorts for Instagram and TikTok, that sort of thing.

Later this month starting on the 26th of August I'll be attending the International Association for Near Death Studies (IANDS) Annual Conference in Bellevue, WA. This will be my first time attending, and I'm looking forward to hopefully meeting some of the earliest NDE pioneers who have been working on these things for more than 44 years.

So, an introduction, update, and an invitation. If you find any of these things interesting, please check them out. I hope you have an amazing day!
