Near death experience of Rob Gentile

[DennisPTate]

Rob Gentile's two near death experiences certainly taught him what matters most about this life.

What is time? Most people think of time as a constant, but physicist Albert Einstein showed that time is an illusion; it’s relative—it can vary for different observers depending on your speed through space. While time remains a great mystery, one thing is certain; How We Spend our time Creates or Eliminates Fear! Our actions NOW lay the foundation for the future. NOW is the time to LOVE. NOW is the time to be GRATEFUL. NOW is the time to be KIND. GOD is in the NOW. I share an excerpt from the chapter, Into The Ethereal, from my book, Quarks of Light: A Near-Death Experience;

In what feels like the next moment—although I cannot really say how much time passed—I am taken up into a timeless place. I find myself inside a shapeless, formless vacuum of sorts…an unending, infinite vastness. I see that time is only real in the physical realm to satisfy our one-dimensional linear thinking, but it is an illusion here in the Ethereal. Instead, time is constantly in flux between past and present, creating the ultimate paradox. The future seemed hidden, however—if it is also there, I have no sense of it, nor worry about it.

"The near death experience of Rob Gentile"

During his near death experience he meets his brother in law. His brother in law "Frosty" had taken his own life. He meets Rob Gentile during Rob's near death experience and Frosty tells Rob that he had made a terrible mistake to take his own life.

Frosty reports having received mercy in the afterlife which rather surprised Rob Gentile.

Rob Gentile should not have been able to come back from the seriousness of the coma that he was in but here he is even able to do interviews.

After months in the hospital hoping a donor heart would arrive, I was looking pretty rough. One act of Kindness was all it took to make me feel human again. I share an excerpt from my book: Quarks of Light, A Near-Death Experience;

When I looked the most haggard and disheveled, Johnny helped restore my dignity by giving me a haircut, with a tiny pair of stainless-steel surgical scissors. I tucked those scissors away in my toiletry bag for keepsake. They are a symbol of thoughtful love extended by so many.

Love connects us to the higher realm, when we serve others. We can feel and sense our spirit lifting out of our clay vessel, defying gravity—reaching for the heavens. The hand of God is waiting, ready to reach down and meet us halfway, but only when we choose to act.

Simple acts of kindness toward each other are far more important than we tend to imagine.

After I had a massive heart attack and a near-death experience, my wife said I was like an exuberant child, wanting to tell everyone about my encounter with her brother “Frosty,” and what I saw on the other side. The euphoria didn’t last, however, and I was faced with a dying heart and grim prospects for survival. It would have been a lot easier to stay in that place of love and light, but now I had to figure out how to return to the temporal world—and actively fight for my life. After a long struggle, my atrophied body gave out again, and I entered the Ethereal a second time. This time I received even more truths. Immediately after that, I was transplanted with the perfect donor heart. After having these experiences, I had a strong feeling that I needed to share what I had seen with the hope of helping others, but still had many questions. I didn’t know how I could possibly put the unexplainable into words, or how to find the energy as my body healed. I had to return to a demanding job and caring for my special needs daughter Maria, but the desire to tell my story never left me. I got up early each morning to write before the day began, and after three years; this book is the result. It is my best attempt to share what I learned, including how to stay in spirit through the physical demands of everyday life.

Rob Gentile reports that we are all made out of light.

Quarks of Light​

During his medical transformation, Gentile had not one, but two, near-death experiences that lead him to have a deeper understanding of the cosmically unified nature of God and reality. He writes with honesty about his fears and doubts and shortcomings, yet he also brutally and beautifully writes with conviction about his love and gratitude for others and life. His sincerity is what makes, what could be an unbelievable account, an accessible and universal one.

One of the most valuable lessons I learned from my near-death experience is that; real beauty comes from the inside. It was my daughter Maria who taught me this when I saw her in the Ethereal. Here in the temporal realm she is unable to walk, talk or feed herself—she has special needs. But in the spiritual realm she is perfect and whole. I share an excerpt from the chapter, Seeking A New Heart, in my book, Quarks of Light: A Near-Death Experience;

I’m thinking, why does society see Maria as a person of no value? I see her beauty and intelligence; it’s just expressed in a unique way. Is this what we’ve become, judging one another’s value as human beings by a set of standards created by, well—whom? Society as a whole? Who defines beauty? The media? What validates us? Our bank account, education, career? I’d give anything to know how Maria sees herself.

It’s through children like Maria with special needs that we can hear God whispering, “Look at me, I’m right here.” They have no ulterior motives, they are pure, innocent vessels that God speaks through. We are spiritual beings living inside fragile clay vessels we call bodies. When we focus on the real beauty within, we become less judgmental and more accepting of others.

Dying was the easy part. When I experienced a sudden heart attack at the age of 56, my brother-in-law, Frosty, delivered a message of peace. He had committed suicide, but he wanted his family to know that he was okay. This experience filled my soul with light and I longed to stay there with him. That was not to be, however—my wife and beautiful special-needs child needed me to survive.

But how could I ever be part of this world again? I now faced the agonizing process of seeking a new heart. The physical challenges of awaiting transplant kept mounting and as my heart grew weaker, my body finally gave out again, and I entered the Ethereal a second time.

In what felt like the next moment, I was taken up into a timeless place. I found myself inside a shapeless, formless vacuum of sorts, an unending, infinite vastness. I was everywhere at once, like I was made of sand and someone picked me up and threw the grains of my being into a strong wind, scattering me across an infinite, timeless expanse. I was connected to the vast wisdom of the universe—all of it, without words.

Then I saw and simultaneously became part of a gigantic web that covers the Earth and stretches into infinity. I could not explain exactly what this web was, except that it looked like it was made of trillions of neurons in a vast, interactive network that binds us all. Curiously, some parts of the web were brighter, some dim, and some completely dark. I also saw my special-needs daughter, perfect, whole, and full of light.

The most important message I received was of unity, oneness, and our real identity.

That night was a breakthrough moment and shortly after that, my doctors found a heart for me just in time. After a successful transplant, intense feelings now connected me to the donor, and I felt compelled to unravel the mystery. What were the forces that united us? When I finally met the friends and family of my donor heart, a dual message came through: hope in clinging to the light that connects us all, and a warning for our day.

This journey provides a roadmap for overcoming adversity, staying in spirit, and addressing the most troubling questions of our time. I share the insights learned from my spiritual awakening.
