From the time that they pronounced me dead was
a good 45 minutes. They cut my clothes and then
they paddled. My heart, my heart had stopped
and I could see people screaming and crying but
I didn't realize that was actually my physical
body because I was somewhere else. The only thing
that I could feel if you could imagine absolute
love and peace, there wasn't anything else to
be felt. I was greeted by people I had known
in the past. I'm back home again. Incredibly
safe and felt at home. Welcome, welcome to Round
Trip Death, everybody. And we are going down
to southern Utah today to meet with Landon Dennis.
Landon, how are you today? I'm doing good. Just
got off work and got cleaned up and and excited
to talk with you, Eric. For our listeners, Landon
is awesome. and he has come a long ways from
where he was before his NDE. And we're going
to be talking about all that. You're going to
absolutely love it. Before we jump into it, we're
going to do two things. Landon, I'm going to
ask you to just tell us a little bit about you
and just take 60 seconds to do that. And then
Landon has asked if he could give a brief prayer
before we get into his story. So Landon, after
you introduce yourself, go ahead and jump into
that. and then I'll start asking questions. All
right, that sounds perfect. Well, my name's Landon
Dennis. I live in St. George, Utah. I am the
youngest of eight kids. You know, I learned a
lot from having seven other siblings to pick
on me growing up. A big thing in my life is I'm
recovering drug addict. And I've learned a lot
in life from the experiences that have happened
to me from that. and that's actually one thing
that led up to my near -death experience. It
had to do with drugs, but I love to go arrowhead
hunting. I love archaeology, music, guitar, piano,
history, and there's a lot of that down here
in St. George, Utah to go mess around with. I
mean, I could go on for days about myself, but
I think that's pretty good. That's perfect. Okay.
Would you mind if I... said a little prayer before
we get into this now? Now's a good time. Go right
ahead. Awesome. And one thing I want people to
know is, and you'll hear it from my story, that
prayer for me is not a religious thing. It is
a spiritual thing that I was taught and shown
during my near -death experience and how it can
help us. So, I appreciate it. Our dear Heavenly
Father, Thank you for letting me be here with
Eric today to speak about the experiences that
I went through and the things that I learned
and for my ability to be able to be here on earth
today and still be able to talk and walk with
others and share this experience. Heavenly Father,
please help me to share my experiences. and the
lessons that I learned in the best way possible
to help others that are listening to this program.
And please help them feel the sincerity of the
things I say and have them have an open heart
and an open mind. And again, thank you for all
the blessings that we have in this world, Heavenly
Father. And I say this in the name of Jesus Christ.
Amen. Amen. Thank you, Landon. I appreciate it.
Thank you. Well, I think we ought to jump right
into it. We're only going to have to go back
a couple of years to a medical emergency that
led to your NDE. But can you give us a little
bit of background before that? You already mentioned
drug addict. What in your life led up to that?
I am very accident prone. Very, very. I mean,
they say cats have nine lives. I'm about to 18.
Not sure how many more I got in me, but I. I
mean, I've been hit by three cars on bike and
walking. I've overdosed and died so many times.
I fell off a second story building from overdosing
onto a car before. And what first got me into
my addiction with drugs that leads to my in your
death experience was a lot of those accidents.
And I was prescribed certain things like pain
pills and stuff. And at the time I wasn't an
addict because it happened from a young age.
I started getting prescribed those things more
and more as my accidents happened. And eventually
that progressed into me being a heroin addict
and just about anything else you can think of.
If any of your listeners have ever had addiction
or have family members who have addiction issues,
then they'll they'll understand that it progresses
quickly and it takes everything in your life
away even quicker. And so that's kind of what
led up to my NDE was me having these physical
things happen to me and slowly taking things
out of my life like my first fiance, my first
daughter, I lost them. became homeless for years
in late in Utah. It took away everything that
was good in my life. But my whole life I've also
had very paranormal experiences, both good and
bad. I call them shadow people. I grew up in
a house that was very haunted and that manifests
itself both physically and spiritually. And so
from a very young age, I was messed with a lot
growing up in that house. But on the flip side,
since a very young age, I've also had family
members who have passed away who have visited
me in dreams. One of them was my grandpa, and
another was my niece who passed away in a car
accident around the age of 16. And she actually
came to me in a dream. just before my parents
got the phone call to find out that she had gotten
in a car accident and passed away, she came and
spoke with me before that. So yeah, my whole
life I've had very interesting things, both good
and bad, and I've just been, I guess, attuned
to those things. I don't know what you would
call it, but they've been very scary and very
awesome. at the same time depending on the situations.
I've experienced a shadow being that would stand
in the corner of my room from a young age, like
a seven foot tall cloaked looking figure that
would give me sleep paralysis is what people
call it. I mean, I wouldn't be able to move.
And there was another thing that would mess with
me and it would give me what are called fright
mares to where I would I would be awake physically
running and screaming around and running, but
I only remember it as me being asleep, being
tormented by this. I don't know what people want
to call it. I don't know what to call them, but
I call them the dark side shadow people is the
best explanations I have for it. And so my whole
life I've experienced a lot of really cool things
and a lot of really terrifying things too. Just
grown up my whole life. All right. Well, let's
go back to two years ago. What happened on that
particular day? Okay, so that day I was very
deep into my drug addiction and what had happened
is I I went to go pick up drugs just a few blocks
down from my house and I got on my little Vespa
that I had just bought the little scooter and
when I got to the house I When I did the drugs,
because I was an IV user, I overdosed. I don't
know if I died or not, but I overdosed and had
to narcanine quite a few times and I finally
came back. And I don't remember any of that.
From what I'm telling you now, until my near
-death experience where I was above my body,
this is the last thing I remember is going to
the house to get drugs. And I guess I overdosed.
They Narcan me, I came back and I just went and
jumped on my Vespa again and went to go take
off up the road to get back home and got hit
by a car. I learned this later, you know, in
the medical reports and everything like that.
And I guess after getting hit by that car, I
got up and fled the scene on my Vespa again,
somehow really messed up. and luckily I was close
enough to home that I made it home. My Vespa
was covered in blood and stuff, but I guess when
I got home, my wife says I walked in the front
door and was acting weird and I had blood on
me and I walked into the bathroom and shut the
door. And I remember how I used to do my drugs
and I would go sit up on this high countertop,
almost Indian style, and look into the mirror
as I did it. And what happened again is I overdosed
again. And this is all in the span of about 20
-ish minutes that these three things happened
that I don't remember these parts. But when I
did that, I fell straight backwards off this
high countertop and just cracked my head on tile
after already being hit by a car and overdosing
right before that. And my wife... just got this
really bad feeling and she had heard a noise
but she got a bad feeling and she came to check
on me and there was just a puddle of blood under
my head. There's more to it on her side but to
make it simple is that it terrified her because
she tried lifting my arm and it just fell back
down. She was trying to wake me up and I was
like blue and purple. My head was cracked open
bleeding. So she called the paramedics and they
came And I was talking with her the other night
and I guess they told her, hey, you need to leave.
Like we need to get him in the ambulance right
now. And she said that when they opened my eyes,
one was tiny, my pupil, and the other one was
huge and dilated. And so they put me in the ambulance
and she asked to come along and they said, no,
you can't. We are trying to revive him right
now. And this is about where my near -death experience
kicks in is where I come above the ambulance
at this point. And so like I said, I remember
going to get the drugs, and then this is where
it kicks in where I'm above the ambulance, looking
down at my body with this group of people working
on me, trying to revive me. It was like I could
see through the ambulance. One of the worst parts
of that is that while I was up above the ambulance
looking through it and watching them work on
me. I was feeling the worst anxiety, the worst
loss, tragedy. Normally I get really emotional
during this part. Just even thinking about it,
it gives me anxiety the way I felt because I
was so confused of like, what's happening? Why
am I looking at my body? Why are these people
seeming so distressed and working on me and I
remember they were drilling something into my
knee to put a needle, an IV into my knee. That's
one thing I remember that that verifies my near
-death experience that I was actually seeing
what was going on while I was flat -lined. That's
when they started rushing me to the hospital
and I can't even describe the horrible feelings
that I was feeling. and just the anxiety, scared,
depression, loss, anything you can think of that
is just makes you feel absolutely horrible is
what I was experiencing there. And as it got
to this point where I was so confused and terrified
and wondering like, what is this? All of a sudden
just went boom, instantly to another place. It
was so crazy because it went from feeling like
how people describe hell. That's what I feel
like. I was in some sort of realm that just pure
anxiety, sadness, depression, and just boom,
instantly I was in another place. There was no
like tunnels or white lights or anything like
that, but I was just standing in this huge, huge
grass field. and all those bad feelings were
gone. I remember looking down at the grass because
I was feeling so much love coming to me all of
a sudden from being above that ambulance to boom,
being in a grass field and feeling so much love.
And I remember when I looked down, I could tell
that each blade of grass loved me. It's so hard
to describe In words, I still try to think of
the right words to describe it, but the grass
was so green, the closest that I can come to.
I mean, so vivid. And it's something that here
on Earth, I pass by every day and it means nothing
to me. But there, it was basically telling me
it loved me and having me feel that. And as I
looked out over the field, because I have bad
eyesight I have glasses but wherever I was there
I remember looking out over the field towards
this big hill in the distance that was just an
arched hill and I just saw all these indescribable
colored lights coming up from behind that hill
and the way I describe it is if you were to shine
like a bright light into a diamond you know,
those refractions of colors that come from that.
It was like it was like that. Those lights were
like that. And there was there was many, many,
many of them. And the coolest thing started happening
is that I saw this red ish color light. And like
I say, when I try to say the colors, it doesn't
do it any justice. But this reddish color light
was my grandpa. who had passed away back in 2007.
I saw him as a light behind this hill. I didn't
see him, but I felt him. And he was literally
giving me a hug, telling me that he loved me
and that he was happy and he was okay. As this
is happening, I started to be able to discern
this pink, violet, type light. It was my niece
who had passed away in that car accident and
she was doing the same thing to me. They were,
it's almost like both of them both came up and
gave me like this bear hug, but with emotions.
It was so much better than even being able to
see them in person, to be able to feel them and
feel them saying they love me and that they were
okay. and they're happy. It was so incredible.
And in that moment, I wanted to go back behind
that hill because there was more lights and I
was feeling a lot of love, not just from the
grass, but from my grandpa and my niece. And
I wanted to go back there. And in that moment,
as I thought that I felt, I felt this wonderful
presence just a little behind me to the right
and I felt that and so I turned a little bit
and there was just this beautiful young lady
standing there just smiling at me, sending me
waves of comfort and love again. And one crazy
thing I can tell you is I know I was related
to her somehow and I didn't ask. which I regret
to this day but I know I was related to her.
She started communicating with me but her mouth
did not move. She only had this just beautiful
almost smirk smile of like understanding how
much it was like she was almost like look how
cool this is that he's feeling all this love
and feeling these family members who have passed
on that almost like how cool is it to witness
him get these confirmations that his family is
okay and they're still doing something on whatever
you want to call it, the other side. And like
I said, I don't know what the different realms
are that I was in because one of them was above
that ambulance, which was horrible. It's something
I never want to experience again. And then the
next one was this grass field. and as she's speaking
with me, I feel, again, I don't see first, I
feel another presence, and I kind of look a little
more to the right, and there's a man standing
there. And they both looked like they were about
in their 30s, and he started communicating with
me too. And the way I describe it to people is
that if I said the word fire to you, As soon
as I said that word fire, you would see the glow
of a fire. You would feel the warmth of it. You
would hear the crackling firewood. You would
smell the smell of the wood burning. They didn't
say the word fire, but that's the best way I
can describe is how this communication happened.
It made it really hard to be back here on earth
and try to communicate people with words. because
they're so inadequate and it sucks so bad compared
to that communication that I had there. Especially
with my wife, I love her to death, but I can
send a text a certain way and if she can take
it however she's feeling in that moment, I might
mean it in a good way, but if she's grumpy or
something, she could take it as a bad text. have
to send so many of those emojis to people now
when I text, because I try to put emotions in
with what I talk to people with. And that's the
closest I can come here on Earth, which is not
even close to how they communicated with you
there. All right, let's take a quick breath here.
OK, because I have some questions that I'm going
to forget if we get too far down the road. Whenever
you have questions, you cut me off. You go ahead
so I can answer them. I hate to do that and your
story is so beautiful. I did not want to do that,
but let's do this. Let's get caught up and then
we'll move forward some more in just a couple
of minutes. So my first question is, you were
in this state of, I'm not going to say a place,
but a state where you were above the ambulance,
everything was stressful, and then all of a sudden
you're in this beautiful grassy place. Do you
think there was anything that you did or thought
or said that triggered you to go from one to
the other? Nothing. The best way I can describe
it is that being in that state or that realm
of what I was feeling was almost like a little
bit of a lesson to me because I was not living
a good life at the time. I've always been a kind,
loving person to people, but I I was a drug addict,
you know, I did bad things to get drugs, like
steal from family members. She just not living
a good life. And I almost like looking back that
it was almost kind of like I try not to get religious
with this. But like I said, it almost felt like
I was in hell at that point where I was. And
so I didn't say. or do anything necessarily to
all of a sudden, boom, be somewhere else. But
I did get to a point where I didn't feel like
I could take it anymore. Like I thought I was
going to explode almost. And that's when I went
to the next place. You were thinking that you
needed help, it sounds like. So yours was not
a typical life review. It was almost like based
on the life you lived. Here's where you're at.
Here's I'm not gonna say your reward or your
punishment But you know, this is where you got
yourself. Okay, that's a fact of life Now, let's
show you what the possibilities can be that are
so much better Exactly, and I actually did have
a type of life review that we can get to in a
moment that I was shown things from my past and
they explained the power of prayer to me during
those things. So that'll be in just a moment.
So any other questions you have? Yeah, absolutely.
Tell me more about the grass. I've had other
experiencers tell me that they felt love from
grass and it seemed really alive. Do you feel
like you were barefoot and you were actually
feeling it or was it more just emotions coming
to you? It was both. It was both and I felt like
I said when I look out towards that hill in the
distance, I could still see every single blade
of grass. Like imagine if you're standing in
a football field, if you look down and focus,
you can start seeing each blade. But if you focus
up far ahead, the grass just kind of meshes.
You don't see it anymore. But I could still,
as I was looking out, I could still see each
blade of grass. And I did feel that each blade,
in a way, I don't know what to call it, almost
had its own spirit type theme. I don't know exactly.
That's kind of the best way to describe it because
it was sending me love. I felt that emotionally
and it sounds weird to people because like I
said it's just it's just grass but no this each
each individual blade was connecting with me
in a way to comfort me from being where I just
was to all of a sudden in this big field that
was a big difference that was kind of shocking
to me at first I think that's a good way to put
it Now, I find it interesting that with your
grandfather, your niece, and then the woman and
the man, did you see actual physical features
of any of them or did they all just appear as
light and you knew who they were? No, so my grandpa
and my niece were two of many, just two of many
of those lights behind that hill, but this man
and woman that came and started speaking with
me, like I said, through emotions and through
feelings. They were very real. They were very,
very real. And those are the two that I saw.
But my grandpa and my niece, they were lights
and I felt them. But yes, these other two people
were actually there with me. And as I looked
back on it, honestly, I can't remember if I ever
saw my own bot. kind of if you're standing and
talking, you don't even really see the tip of
your nose type thing. So I'm not saying that
I didn't, but I don't remember seeing my own,
but those two people that were talking to me,
absolutely. Like I said, I knew I was related
to them somehow, and I don't know how, but I
know that, or a fact, and I can't describe it
in words because everything that was conveyed
to me was through like spiritual and emotional
and experiences. Do you feel like they had a
purpose? Some people describe a guardian angel
or a guide or something. Do you think they had
a purpose for you? Yes, that's one thing that
they they communicated with me is that those
two were allowed to come to that spot wherever
that spot was to come there and speak with me
and share very amazing things with me, but they
told me that they were allowed to meet me there.
I know there's life after this life, and I don't
know everything about it when I tell a story.
I don't claim to know everything, you know. I'm
still trying to figure it out, too, and that's
why I welcome viewers to expand on it and think,
you know, however it touches them and their heart
and what they think, but I knew that that was
their purpose to be there and to teach me two
very important lessons. You know, after you're
done with some of your questions, I can get into
what those two things that they taught me were,
and not just even taught me, but showed me. I'm
done. Let's go ahead and move forward. Tell me
some of the things that they taught you, showed
you, and then I'm not going to let you forget
your life review also. I want to hear about that.
So whichever you'd rather talk about first. My
life review right now. I'll let you guys determine
if it was a life review or not But that's that's
where this part begins is that they were speaking
to me and telling me just how loved I was and
how I Always had loved ones like you said like
guardian angels around me that they were always
there to help but they couldn't always help unless
I asked for it unless I, in a way, prayed for
it. And like I said, when I say prayer, don't
think of it religiously. The way they are explaining
it to me is that prayer is such a powerful tool
and weapon for anybody living on this world,
that you have a line of communication. with what
they taught me was with our heavenly father,
our creator, whatever people want to call him.
If it's your will because we have free agency
down here because we're here to learn things.
But if in certain times need help, we can pray
for help. And there's certain guardian angels,
passed on loved ones that are allowed to help
us in moments. They can't always do it unless
we actually ask because that's our will to ask
and ask for help because we have that free agency.
And when they're sharing this with me, I kind
of questioned them right then. I remember having
this thought and this feeling of, what do you
mean prayer is so powerful and prayer is real?
Because I remember being homeless for years.
I remember being a drug addict, living behind
churches, sleeping on gravel, you know, holding
up signs for money, being humiliated, like being
at a point in my life where I would have to hold
up a sign begging for money, and I would give
little prayers and stuff, and it never seemed
to work for me. And so I kind of questioned that
to them. And that's when they showed me this
vision type thing. It was almost like this hologram
type vision that I could have almost stepped
into. But it was of me at a certain point in
my life where there was this one night in late
Utah when I was homeless. On certain nights,
I would go to this Little Caesars behind in the
dumpsters when they would throw out stuff. And
if I could be the first one there before other
people or animals, I could get something to eat.
And I remember this one night behind this dumpster,
and this was in a very, very dark, dark time
in my life because I had lost everything to my
drug use. And I remember picking this piece of
pizza up out of the dirty dumpster, not even
in a box. I mean, straight just out of the dumpster.
It had marks taken out of it. And I remember
sitting there thinking, wow, Landon. If this
is all your worth in this world and this is the
best you can do, then this is your last night
on earth. You've pushed everybody away. You've
lost everything. You are worthless in this world
now. No one loves you. I remember thinking too,
like there couldn't be a creator or God that
loves someone or something like me who's just...
Holding up signs for money doing nothing in life
with being selfish and for my drugs and I as
I was holding his pizza I started thinking of
What's the easiest way I can commit suicide tonight?
What's the most what's the least painful way
that I can and I remember and this is On earth
that I'm telling you this story. I remember as
I was thinking that and and was committed to
committing suicide, all of a sudden I felt this
just hug come from behind me. And I physically
felt that hug. And I remember because when I
felt it, I kind of turned. It almost like scared
me in a way, thinking someone came up and nothing
was there. And I continued to feel it in all
those... horrible emotions went away and that
thought of suicide went away. And they showed
me this moment. And for a moment while I was
up there with them, I felt how I felt in that
moment again. And when they showed me this moment
that I was contemplating suicide, all of a sudden
I saw these lights come down to me behind that
dumpster. Beautiful lights that were lights that
were like behind that hill. I was taught that
those lights were literally prayers that came
to me in that moment. When they showed me that
moment of when I felt that hug on earth, because
it didn't make sense to me back then at the time,
but they showed me this moment when these lights
came to me. I saw these dark things just take
off and they were dark like wispy things. They
didn't have a form. It's hard to describe them,
but I saw these dark things just flee from me
in that moment when I was having those thoughts.
And they were communicating with me like, do
you not see the power of prayer? And I know that
those were prayers from other people like my
parents and family members who were terrified
that I was They were going to get a call soon
someday that I was dead or overdosed. All my
loved ones and people were praying for me and
to them, you know, they had been praying and
they didn't see any outcome from their prayers,
but they didn't stop praying for me. And that's
what they're communicating to me that look at
these prayers from your family members, both
here on earth and on the other side here that
are always there. to protect you and help you.
And this time I didn't ask for it. I was going
to commit suicide and so all these people on
earth here that were praying for me, they didn't
know that their prayers were being answered at
that time. You know, they could have had a question
like me. Like, I've prayed before and I never
chose to see any miracle come from a prayer.
but they physically showed me this and that's
what I felt that hug and I didn't see anybody
or anything but in this moment that they showed
me and these lights come and these dark things
take off and they explained to me now do you
see how powerful prayer is and how if the people
who were praying for me thought that their prayers
weren't being heard or answered because maybe
they They're like, he's still a drug addict,
he's still homeless. They could have easily thought
that and given up on the idea that we have a
loving Creator who hears our prayers and our
prayers aren't always answered in a way that
we think they need to be answered. But I'll tell
you, if you pray with a sincere heart and open
mind, they're going to be answered and it's going
to be in ways that are so much better. than what
you're thinking your prayer should be for someone
or for yourself. Like a lot of times I was locked
up in jail and that saved my life because it
was crazy instances that I would get locked up
where it was always drug use but the way I would
get arrested and stuff literally would save my
life and I wasn't showing those parts during
this but after seeing that that one moment it
shut me up quick and let me know that prayer
is so powerful and it is so real. I wish others
could have seen and experienced what I did to
know the power of prayer and that's why I try
to tell people never stop praying. Even if you're
not seeing a specific outcome you want, it's
being heard and being answered in ways that are
You could never imagine because no one else knew
that those prayers saved me from committing suicide
that night behind that dumpster. And so in a
way, that was kind of a life review, I guess
you could say a moment. Yeah. Yeah, they were
showing you things that happened and you got
a whole new perspective on them. Was there anything
else that the young lady and that the man communicated
directly to you? Any specifics that you want
to share? So the other one There was a lot of
very personal things that they communicated with
me. One big one I've only ever shared with my
parents just recently, and my wife and my brother,
which I won't share on this platform, it's very
personal and it's amazing. But the other biggest
thing that they shared with me is that Look,
you just felt your family members. You know that
they're still progressing and doing work wherever
behind that hill was that I that I couldn't go
behind I don't know what that place was, you
know, like I said, it seemed like there was three
it seemed like there was three realms one above
the ambulance and then one in that field and
then whatever was behind that hill, but they
were communicating with me about how families
can be together forever. And your lost loved
ones, anybody who's lost a child, a mother, a
grandfather, you know, grandmothers, sister,
brother, anything, they were telling me and I
was able to feel them from behind there. So they
were teaching me again that this life is not
the end, but also what we do in this life matters
very much. Like I said, I'm trying to put this
in words the best way I can because how they're
describing it to me just made such perfect sense
through emotions. But people like to think that
our Creator or God is just this judging, hateful
person. But no, our Creator is so loving that
here on earth we have free will, which is The
most loving thing you could ever give someone
is free will. And it sucks that a lot of people
on this earth choose to do bad things with that.
But what we do here matters. And we're going
to carry that with us into the next life and
continue learning. They're showing me and telling
me that there is life after this and what I do
matters. And that's almost why I say I feel like
I needed that experience. above the ambulance
to feel the pain and anguish that I felt throughout
my life, but all at once. And then when it almost
became too much, I was up there in that grass
field. And it's like they were giving me these
baby step lessons, kind of one at a time, to
have me be more comfortable with the lessons
they're sharing. But they also shared two things
with me about my future. The way they shared
it with me, it wasn't like a vision this time,
but they shared two things that it's not like
it was set in stone, but to be aware of. One
of those things happened and I did not handle
it the way I should have. It caused me a lot
of pain and anguish from that. And the other
thing hasn't happened yet. But from that first
thing having that again that confirmation of
what they were sharing with me was a real experience
and that it was like these things they shared
were almost like it's a fork in the road landed,
but just know you You're loved and you have help
if you ask but it's your choice to choose How
you handle it and the first one I didn't handle
good and the second one hasn't happened yet,
and it's a very personal thing. And maybe someday
I'll share those two things. But I will say that
even though that first thing I didn't handle
correct, again, it was very validating for me
to know that this experience was real and what
they were communicating with me was real. Well,
if you want to circle back with me someday and
tell me about that, you know, what has happened
since then, we can do that. I held this in for
a long time this experience because I was scared
of ridicule and people thinking I was crazy and
it almost happened almost two years ago and I
only just recently told my family even a few
months ago the story and no one's ever heard
the full story and I don't know if anybody ever
will hear the full story because there was things
that I were very personal that I was told not
to tell. And then there were those two very important
things that I know is why I was able to come
back to this earth and I'm not gonna keep those
messages and miracles that I was given of knowing
how powerful prayer is and knowing that we will
see our family members again after this life
because I questioned both of those also before
this experience. I'm not scared of ridicule anymore
and I don't want fame. I don't want money. I
just want to give people hope, like was given
to me. When this accident happened, I mean I
can send you pictures of the brain injury because
they had to cut my skull open from here all the
way back down and then up around my ear and put
stents in my head to drain all the spinal cord
fluid and the blood and it, I mean it looks...
It's terrible. I think I had like 80 -something
staples all the way around my head and back up.
You know, they thought I was going to die. It
kept telling my wife, if you had passed 24 hours,
it'll be a miracle. First off, you can hold off
on the pictures. I've had a couple of other people
on the show recently send me the gory pictures.
I've seen enough for this month anyway, and our
listeners, I've gotten a couple of comments like,
don't post any of those anymore. So I'm not going
to do that. Yeah, a minute ago, you mentioned
that you learned a lot about free will. And do
you remember, was there a point where you were
given a choice? Hey, Landon, time to go back
to your body or time to stay here? No, I was
not told that or given that choice. And I just
recently started searching into NDEs after mine
happened, and I've heard people have had that.
But what happened with me is when they were finishing
up telling me all these incredible things and
very personal things, I felt this one last huge
wave from all those lights behind that hill just
rush over me as if thousands of people were giving
me this bear hug type thing. But the coolest
thing is That loving feeling I got from all those
lights was also the feeling of, we're still here,
we love you, and we'll see you again. And I remember
hearing and feeling those words. Just do your
best, but we love you, and we will see you again.
That is beautiful. And then what was it like
coming back into your body? I think that's what
you were just getting to. I felt so incredible
there. But as soon as that last, I love you.
I'll see you again. Goodbye. Boom. I came back,
but I was above my body, watching myself get
brain surgery at this point, because at the last
point that I was above my body, it was above
the ambulance. And now at this point, I'm above
my body. watching them do brain surgery. They
had part of my head sectioned off and some thing,
and I don't like blood or gory stuff either,
you know? And so you can imagine me all of a
sudden being where I was to seeing myself with
my head being open and drill. I have four titanium
plates and a little titanium clip that's holding
my skull and stuff back together. All those horrible
feelings came back that I had when I was above
the ambulance. All those same type of feelings
came back. And it's like I was just stuck there
watching this for a minute. And I would have
rather felt the physical pain of that brain injury
than the emotional and spiritual pain that I
was feeling when I was above my body again. I
just remember when it got to a point again that
I felt like I could not handle it. I heard that
young woman's voice that I was up there with.
I heard her voice and this time I didn't feel
it emotionally like I was up there but I heard
her voice and she said land in its time as I'm
washing the part of this brain surgery and it
kind of shocked me for a second like what? and
she said it a second time, land in its time.
And that's when all of a sudden I just remember
opening my eyes and my family was above me in
a hospital room. And so I don't know how time
works. Wherever I was compared to down here on
Earth, I don't know how time correlates exactly.
It's still hard for me to try to put those puzzle
pieces together of how time worked. I remember
Waking up with my family above me and that's
when all that horrible emotional pain and stuff
was gone that I was above my body and when I
opened my eyes I remember seeing these dark wispy
things again, just like behind that dumpster
take off out of my hospital room and What's crazy
about that is I guess when I first came out of
surgery And the surgery was like four hours long
and they kept telling my wife, we're trying to
do this just to see if he can last 24 hours.
We're not sure what's going to happen. If this
surgery doesn't work, we're going to have to
fly him to Salt Lake. But luckily it worked,
but they were still telling them it was such
extensive brain damage that I got that they didn't
know if I would remember them. They didn't know
if I'd be able to walk or talk again or be a
vegetable or they just knew I was alive and on
a ventilator. And I guess one of the first things
that I actually said, and I don't remember this
part either, I think it was like two days after
I finally got off the ventilator and kind of
came to. And I guess I asked my wife, I just
said, call my father, I need a priesthood blessing.
which in the LDS Church, because I am LDS or
people say Mormon, it's just a spiritual blessing.
Him and one of our neighbors came and gave me
a blessing, and I believe that that blessing
is, again, is what made those dark things that
were, it's like those things were holding me
above my body in that state of terror and confusion.
and those things that I saw just flee out of
the hospital room. I believe that blessing, that
prayer type thing, you know, if people want to
think of it that way, is what made these things
leave again. My dad just basically his blessing
was, I bless this hospital room that my son will
fully recover and there will be nothing in here
to be able to hinder his recovery. mentally or
physically. I just remember when I came to seeing
those things fly out of my room again, and I
was able to recover so remarkably fast. Like
they said, they didn't know if I would remember
my wife, my family, or if I'd be able to walk
or talk and all that. And I was out of that neuro
ICU, walking, talking, functioning again within
just over a month. but I still had to learn how
to walk and do speech therapy again and that
sucked. They would tie this like belt to me with
a tether behind it and a big like weight on the
ground and I would have to grab a walker and
carry that weight around and do speech therapy
but they couldn't believe how quickly I healed
because I was in there with many other people
on that neuro ICU unit four who had same type
of injuries or strokes and stuff that that passed
away you know at the exact same time I was in
there they couldn't save or the ones that were
saved they were affected for the rest of their
lives in horrible ways like being a vegetable
or being able to not speak or remove parts of
their bodies and stuff again and that's again
why I won't hide these things I was shown and
taught anymore. out of fear or ridicule. People
can ridicule the heck out of me. That's fine
because the people who need to hear this message
of what I experienced are going to feel the sincerity
and the truth of what I experienced and what
I was told. And that's why I'm doing these podcasts
and not having fear anymore of how crazy people
might think I sound. And one really cool thing
I'll tell you, is that after this experience,
I see auras around some people. It's not a lot.
I would say out of a hundred people, if I was
to see a hundred people throughout the day, I
would see auras around two, some days more, some
days less, but they're these beautiful color
auras, and I don't know the meaning of that.
It doesn't make sense to me, and it's... But
it's real. It's not just a trick of my eyes.
Trust me, when I've seen it, I've walked away,
shook my head and walked back and everybody else
looks normal, but that same person will have
the same color aura around them. And I hope someday
to figure out what that is and what it means.
And I've also had a lot more experiences of what
I call kind of foresight. I don't like to say
psychic because I believe people are born with
the gifts and abilities, spiritual gifts of psychics
and stuff in certain ways, but I had the ability
of foresight for things and what I believe it
is is that when I'm living the right way and
I have an open heart and mind, I have these gifts
all of a sudden. Let's say, for instance, not
too long ago, I call it the still small voice.
If I'm doing good and living right, I'll have
these almost premonitions or someone literally
speak in my ear and say, you need to call this
person or you need to do this certain thing.
And not too long ago, I had that say, you need
to call this person right now. And I won't name
names, but it's a close friend of mine. And I
didn't talk to him in like a year. And so I had
that, and I called him. He's just like, why are
you calling me now? You know, almost offended.
Like, you haven't called me in a year. I was
just like, buddy, I don't know. I just wanted
to call and make sure you're doing OK. And throughout
that conversation, he explained to me that he
was about to commit suicide for things that were
going on in his life, and that I, me just talking
with them and... Having that communication and
emotional talk again saved his life and that's
from what I call still small voice and or you
know I don't like to call them abilities, but
I've had Those increases in those things and
I believe anybody can actually have Like I said
that the gift of discernment and everybody can
definitely have the gift of prayer Don't think
about it religiously you can have the gift of
prayer that will help you And if you're being
a good person, I'm sure a lot of people out there
can relate to me about having those moments of
something come to your mind that just nags you
and won't go away. And if you listen to it, all
of a sudden you realize how important it was.
I've had those things happen a lot, lot more.
But I've also, since I've had those abilities
and kind of gifts rise since this accident, since
I think about things differently and I almost
feel like the veil maybe is a little thinner
for me now from wherever I went. I've also experienced
a lot more darkness too. It's like yin and yang.
I get these really cool experiences now but I've
also had the opposing experiences happen a lot
more too and it's... It's hard for me and those
opposing forces don't want me sharing this messages
on podcasts. I can tell you that from certain
things that have happened when I'm supposed to
be maybe doing a podcast or trying to share this
message. And that's why I pray at the beginning
of these podcasts because I do feel those things
and certain things happen, you know, bad things
too. But it's cool. I'm grateful for the good
things. So Landon, before we wrap up, how's your
recovery going? You doing well now? I am. I can't
see out of half my left eye because of the big
scar on my brain from my brain injury. But I
mean, I'm able to walk and talk, which is a miracle.
And so I'm grateful for that. Well, thank you.
And your message has been beautiful, especially
learning more about prayer. I appreciate it very
much. Is there any one last message or summary
that you want to leave with us before we sign
off? Yeah, and I'll make it really quick. Pray.
Pray, pray, pray. Pray when you're having hard
times for help and pray with gratitude when you're
having good times. Pray for others and know that
your lost loved ones, you will see them again.
And they are not lost. And they can help you
when you pray. And so I would encourage people
in this tough world we live in today to pray
at all times in their life. Landon Dennis, thank
you so much for being with me today. It's been
an honor. Thank you so much for having me. Thanks
again for listening and sharing this podcast.
