WEBVTT

00:00:03.749 --> 00:00:06.730
From the time that they pronounced me dead was

00:00:06.730 --> 00:00:10.210
a good 45 minutes. They cut my clothes and then

00:00:10.210 --> 00:00:13.130
they paddled. My heart, my heart had stopped

00:00:13.130 --> 00:00:16.129
and I could see people screaming and crying but

00:00:16.129 --> 00:00:18.589
I didn't realize that was actually my physical

00:00:18.589 --> 00:00:22.010
body because I was somewhere else. The only thing

00:00:22.010 --> 00:00:25.390
that I could feel if you could imagine absolute

00:00:25.390 --> 00:00:28.510
love and peace there wasn't anything else to

00:00:28.510 --> 00:00:31.600
be felt. I was greeted by people I'd known in

00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:35.079
the past. I'm back home again. Incredibly safe

00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:40.000
and felt at home. Welcome, welcome to Round Trip

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:42.200
Death, everybody. We're going to have so much

00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:45.179
fun today with a really interesting experience.

00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:48.420
In fact, make it two near -death experiences

00:00:48.420 --> 00:00:51.579
that we're going to be talking about with Mario

00:00:51.579 --> 00:00:55.960
Quinones Ravalori. Please tell me I got that

00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:59.390
close, Mario. Very good. You did it better than

00:00:59.390 --> 00:01:02.869
Godzilla. All right. Thank you. I appreciate

00:01:02.869 --> 00:01:06.129
it. We're going to talk about an experience that

00:01:06.129 --> 00:01:08.030
happened to you very young when you were only

00:01:08.030 --> 00:01:10.670
nine years old, and then one that happened a

00:01:10.670 --> 00:01:13.569
little bit later in life. But before we jump

00:01:13.569 --> 00:01:16.950
in, I want to get to know who Mario is. Tell

00:01:16.950 --> 00:01:20.290
us just a little bit about you. Yeah, yeah. I'm

00:01:20.290 --> 00:01:25.840
Mario, and I'm the father of actor Tony. the

00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:29.079
voluntary best known for their role of Flash

00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:34.400
Thompson in Spider -Man and Zero Mustafa in that

00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:37.079
world -winning movie called The Grand Budapest

00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:43.180
Hotel. And I'm an author, an author, a publicist,

00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:47.980
and a singer or songwriter. And I love the arts

00:01:47.980 --> 00:01:51.980
and the entertainment industry. I have worked

00:01:51.980 --> 00:01:59.310
for Hollywood almost all my life, and I'm a biologist

00:01:59.310 --> 00:02:03.629
and a creative writer. I graduated from the Cass

00:02:03.629 --> 00:02:07.209
State University Fullerton here in California.

00:02:08.729 --> 00:02:12.610
Currently I live in North Hollywood, California,

00:02:13.129 --> 00:02:17.370
next to Burbank. Well, welcome to the show. We

00:02:17.370 --> 00:02:19.650
hope you feel comfortable. We're just going to

00:02:19.650 --> 00:02:22.229
have a nice chit chat today, a little discussion.

00:02:23.050 --> 00:02:26.270
So thank you again for being here. Let's just

00:02:26.270 --> 00:02:28.789
jump right in. I want to know what happened when

00:02:28.789 --> 00:02:31.430
you were nine years old. That's so young to have

00:02:31.430 --> 00:02:35.229
some kind of an experience. It was one afternoon.

00:02:36.430 --> 00:02:40.710
My dad took me to a corn field field that he

00:02:40.710 --> 00:02:46.669
had to watch out for the plantation that he had

00:02:46.669 --> 00:02:50.849
just sown. like a week ago, and then we went

00:02:50.849 --> 00:02:56.210
and sat next to a tall tree for shade. All of

00:02:56.210 --> 00:03:02.370
a sudden I felt a pain on my chest, and then

00:03:02.370 --> 00:03:08.629
I started to twist. My neck went around, my head

00:03:08.629 --> 00:03:13.150
actually went around my neck and it almost got

00:03:13.150 --> 00:03:16.569
to my back, and my chest bent all the way to

00:03:16.569 --> 00:03:19.530
my knee. My dad knew that I couldn't control

00:03:19.530 --> 00:03:22.610
the pain, and he took me in his arms and brought

00:03:22.610 --> 00:03:25.870
me back to the house. And once in the house,

00:03:25.870 --> 00:03:31.370
he put me in bed, and he went to the local town

00:03:31.370 --> 00:03:34.949
doctor, brought him home, and he said that I

00:03:34.949 --> 00:03:38.210
was going to die that night. And suddenly I died,

00:03:38.210 --> 00:03:43.129
and he gave me a shot. But he said, if he survived,

00:03:44.009 --> 00:03:46.500
then he's not going to die. He took my dad and

00:03:46.500 --> 00:03:50.599
then go back to my office tomorrow and then bring

00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:54.280
me back. And I give him another shot. Yeah, I

00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:59.860
died then and I went to this place. My brothers

00:03:59.860 --> 00:04:02.840
and sisters, my mom and my dad were praying.

00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:06.639
He had already come back from taking back the

00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:10.379
doctor to his office. And he was with me. They

00:04:10.379 --> 00:04:13.300
were praying and crying and everything because

00:04:13.300 --> 00:04:17.670
I was the oldest one. for my dad. And then I

00:04:17.670 --> 00:04:21.029
went to these places and I saw tunnels, light

00:04:21.029 --> 00:04:25.990
beams, fluorescent and different colors. And

00:04:25.990 --> 00:04:29.829
I stayed there for 15 minutes. And my dad was

00:04:29.829 --> 00:04:33.389
praying, like I said, but then all of a sudden

00:04:33.389 --> 00:04:38.129
I came back. I told my dad, why did you bring

00:04:38.129 --> 00:04:42.110
me back here? I did what? I want to stay in heaven.

00:04:42.189 --> 00:04:45.720
It was so cool and so precious. I'd rather live

00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:48.899
there than here. My dad, remember he said, no

00:04:48.899 --> 00:04:52.420
son, I never want you to come back. If you're

00:04:52.420 --> 00:04:55.680
going to stay over there, I just let you be there.

00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:59.139
It's just, that's what happened. And I'm praying

00:04:59.139 --> 00:05:02.399
for you. I love you son and whatever, but I know

00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:07.300
it's his God's decision. He's in control and

00:05:07.300 --> 00:05:10.860
whatever he wants to do. I came back and then

00:05:10.860 --> 00:05:13.660
I remember I saw the most beautiful thing in

00:05:13.660 --> 00:05:18.040
heaven and that it was light everywhere, colored

00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:23.040
lights, figures. And then, you know, I never

00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:27.139
saw anybody or any human being or angels or anything.

00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:31.899
I just saw lights, the sky full of light. And

00:05:31.899 --> 00:05:36.720
I saw trees and everything, but made out of fluorescent,

00:05:37.500 --> 00:05:40.680
bright lights. That's all about my spirit, the

00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:44.480
first spirit. Well, before we talk about the

00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:47.779
next one, are there any other details that you

00:05:47.779 --> 00:05:51.300
remember? And I don't want you to create any,

00:05:51.339 --> 00:05:53.800
but if there are specific things you remember

00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:57.259
about, for example, the lights, were they all

00:05:57.259 --> 00:06:00.620
white and bright? Were some colored? And you

00:06:00.620 --> 00:06:03.720
mentioned a sky. Give me a little more detail.

00:06:05.020 --> 00:06:08.399
The lights were colorful and they were like kind

00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:13.000
of beams, you know, the straight beams and then

00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:19.360
the curved beams of light and like tunnels and

00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:22.959
the roads made out of light that I wanted to

00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:26.439
get into, but I couldn't. And then it wasn't

00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:29.860
that long experience. I came back in like 15

00:06:29.860 --> 00:06:33.870
minutes. And then my dad was over there in bed

00:06:33.870 --> 00:06:38.410
with me when I came back. One thing that they

00:06:38.410 --> 00:06:42.329
told the townspeople was in the village, small

00:06:42.329 --> 00:06:45.470
village where I was, they informed the neighbors

00:06:45.470 --> 00:06:50.209
that I have died to go and attend for my funeral

00:06:50.209 --> 00:06:54.589
that was gonna take place that night. Yeah, but

00:06:54.589 --> 00:06:58.449
it did happen because I came. That's a problem

00:06:58.449 --> 00:07:01.029
when there's a funeral, but there's no dead person

00:07:01.029 --> 00:07:08.189
there. I'm so happy for you. Oh, kind of interesting

00:07:08.189 --> 00:07:10.649
that you said you didn't want to come back. You

00:07:10.649 --> 00:07:15.269
told your father. Why was that? Because it was

00:07:15.269 --> 00:07:19.149
beautiful, beautiful. At that age, I mean, I

00:07:19.149 --> 00:07:23.209
was a poor boy and people used to do, how do

00:07:23.209 --> 00:07:25.819
you call this? and make fun of you all the time

00:07:25.819 --> 00:07:30.259
and they treat you bad, okay? And they did that,

00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:34.259
all the neighbors, and so I was tired there because

00:07:34.259 --> 00:07:38.660
my dad was poor and I was, all my brothers and

00:07:38.660 --> 00:07:41.699
sisters were light skinned, you know, and my

00:07:41.699 --> 00:07:45.000
friends and my relatives, my cousins, and blue

00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:47.699
eyes and everything, like white people. And I

00:07:47.699 --> 00:07:51.060
was dark, so people hated me because of that,

00:07:51.060 --> 00:07:53.629
and they used to call me names. because of the

00:07:53.629 --> 00:07:57.250
color of my skin. So you were bullied. Is that

00:07:57.250 --> 00:07:59.970
the word you were looking for? Looking for, yeah,

00:08:00.029 --> 00:08:04.970
I was bullied all the time by children and by

00:08:04.970 --> 00:08:08.990
adults. And that's what got me so bad. It was

00:08:08.990 --> 00:08:14.009
the one time, it's not part of the going to heaven,

00:08:14.629 --> 00:08:21.360
but one time a guy named Jesus. He got three

00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:24.360
people to fight at one time. My dad told me,

00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:26.899
okay, I'm gonna let Mario go help you. I was

00:08:26.899 --> 00:08:30.680
like eight years old and help you in the fields,

00:08:30.699 --> 00:08:35.399
and I went with him. When we went to his field,

00:08:36.100 --> 00:08:40.799
he met three kids, one of those bully kids. He

00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:43.620
made me fight with three of them, and they beat

00:08:43.620 --> 00:08:46.759
me up so bad. I couldn't tell my dad, because

00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:49.139
if I told my dad, he would never believe me.

00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:52.220
So that's why I didn't want to come back home.

00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:56.019
Oh, I'm so sorry. So you must have felt safe

00:08:56.019 --> 00:09:00.879
there. Yeah, definitely. Do you remember feeling

00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:04.820
anything else? I felt the sensation that like

00:09:04.820 --> 00:09:09.120
I was protected. I was supported and everything

00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:13.399
was good for me. Everything was out of this world.

00:09:13.779 --> 00:09:16.879
I mean, you know, it meant everything for me.

00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:21.120
And they're just the lights, and the roads, and

00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:24.259
the trees, and everything. It was a different,

00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:28.460
not earthly things. So that was my experience

00:09:28.460 --> 00:09:31.480
in there. The first one, it wasn't that big,

00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.000
that long, and it wasn't that interesting. But

00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.720
the thing is, I came back to life, and I have

00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:46.629
done it two times in different seasons. and ages

00:09:46.629 --> 00:09:50.169
because it was big difference, you know. I was

00:09:50.169 --> 00:09:54.169
just a baby boy. And it took me two years to

00:09:54.169 --> 00:09:58.450
recover from the injury. They took me to a hospital.

00:09:58.750 --> 00:10:03.830
I was hospitalized for about three months and

00:10:03.830 --> 00:10:08.009
then discharged. But it was amazing. It was incredible,

00:10:08.029 --> 00:10:12.190
beautiful. Lights, everything, you know, work

00:10:12.190 --> 00:10:15.919
in color. Physically, what caused it? Was it

00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:19.960
like a heart problem or something else? No, they

00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:27.320
couldn't diagnose what it was. It was just that

00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:32.000
I had like a high temperature, a strong headache

00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:37.679
and pain on my heart. And that made me twist.

00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:41.960
I twisted around and my whole body paralyzed.

00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:46.279
My paralyzed is not like a normal body in a way

00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:53.139
that it turned my head back to my back and then

00:10:53.139 --> 00:10:57.019
my chest went down to my knee like that. Yeah,

00:10:57.039 --> 00:11:00.620
sounds very painful. All right. Did anything

00:11:00.620 --> 00:11:04.019
happen that's unusual between then and when you

00:11:04.019 --> 00:11:08.919
were 47 years old? Oh, many things, many things.

00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:12.700
Any that are related to the experience? Yeah,

00:11:12.899 --> 00:11:17.419
because from that time I started to be chased

00:11:17.419 --> 00:11:23.360
around by demons and by good things. I saw things

00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:26.980
all the time. I couldn't get up and get out of

00:11:26.980 --> 00:11:30.720
bed at night to go take a pee, to go to the restroom

00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:35.960
because I saw demons. Definitely I saw demons.

00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:41.909
And people increased my hate and bullying. And

00:11:41.909 --> 00:11:46.649
one time I was going to be shot. I was put there,

00:11:47.629 --> 00:11:52.669
a killer, one of those guys, bad guys, put a

00:11:52.669 --> 00:11:54.970
gun on my head and told me he was going to kill.

00:11:55.350 --> 00:11:59.070
And my dad was next to me. Many, many things

00:11:59.070 --> 00:12:03.049
happened. I couldn't go out anywhere because

00:12:03.049 --> 00:12:08.129
I saw devils and demons and everything. My dad...

00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:10.659
used to spank me so bad because he said that

00:12:10.659 --> 00:12:13.860
I was a coward. And I was afraid of nothing.

00:12:14.139 --> 00:12:17.220
It wasn't nothing. It was just my imagination.

00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:22.500
But I saw them. I believe you. Okay. Your experience

00:12:22.500 --> 00:12:25.779
when you were 47 years old is very unusual, too.

00:12:25.820 --> 00:12:29.440
Why don't you jump into that one? Sure. That

00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:34.779
time, my relatives, three of my close relatives,

00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:40.289
paid the hire that a professional criminal, a

00:12:40.289 --> 00:12:45.970
headman to kill me. He chased me for six months

00:12:45.970 --> 00:12:48.490
and he told me, he called me on the phone because

00:12:48.490 --> 00:12:51.970
he was giving my whole information and he called

00:12:51.970 --> 00:12:54.370
me all the time and every day and he told me

00:12:54.370 --> 00:12:58.169
where I was, who I was with. And he gaslighted

00:12:58.169 --> 00:13:00.169
me for five months and told me he was going to

00:13:00.169 --> 00:13:04.730
kill me. One time he told me that my God, my

00:13:04.730 --> 00:13:07.730
God wasn't going to be able to to save me, because

00:13:07.730 --> 00:13:11.769
his God was more powerful than my God. So I didn't

00:13:11.769 --> 00:13:14.350
know what, I thought he was joking. But the funny

00:13:14.350 --> 00:13:19.269
thing is that I have this brand in Hollywood,

00:13:20.309 --> 00:13:23.470
working for Hollywood, a casting director, famous

00:13:23.470 --> 00:13:28.090
producer and casting director. And then he impersonated

00:13:28.090 --> 00:13:35.009
him to get to me. So then he hacked. his computer

00:13:35.009 --> 00:13:39.190
and my computer. Every time that I called my

00:13:39.190 --> 00:13:42.389
employer to give me jobs in the entertainment

00:13:42.389 --> 00:13:46.490
business, casting the actual friend, he got to

00:13:46.490 --> 00:13:50.470
me and got back to me in his name, impersonating

00:13:50.470 --> 00:13:54.309
me, right? So I thought I was talking to my friend,

00:13:55.009 --> 00:13:58.409
but then something happened that he was sending

00:13:58.409 --> 00:14:02.059
me pornography and told me. If you don't get

00:14:02.059 --> 00:14:06.240
into pornography with me, I'm gonna kill you.

00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:11.779
And things like that. Forcing me. And so I ignored

00:14:11.779 --> 00:14:16.759
him. But I thought that he was joking. But on

00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:28.100
December 17, 2016, I tried to block it. To block

00:14:28.100 --> 00:14:31.399
him from the computer. And he found out, but

00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:34.639
he thought that I had done it personally, but

00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:39.919
the FBI got into the case. And I reported to

00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:43.159
the Inglewood Police Department here in California.

00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:47.980
And then they say, why the FBI? So it started

00:14:47.980 --> 00:14:53.240
to panic. And then the FBI told me that they

00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:59.289
were gonna give me protection for 70 years. 78

00:14:59.289 --> 00:15:05.190
hours, which is like a week in time, in days

00:15:05.190 --> 00:15:08.830
time. And he kept on pushing me and everything.

00:15:09.730 --> 00:15:12.029
But then the FBI told me that, and they went

00:15:12.029 --> 00:15:16.850
into all my electronic devices, phone, my car,

00:15:17.110 --> 00:15:21.730
my house. They found everything, cameras installed

00:15:21.730 --> 00:15:25.309
inside my house. So he did it on the 18th, on

00:15:25.309 --> 00:15:30.019
the 17th. In the morning, he did it. I went and

00:15:30.019 --> 00:15:35.960
I bought tea from a plant, from herbs. And then

00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:42.320
when he put the venom poison in the cup, in the

00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:47.279
pot, came back and took it and he poisoned me.

00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:51.860
But I found out that three of my relatives have

00:15:51.860 --> 00:15:54.840
paid him because they hired him all the way from

00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:58.649
India. One criminal professional from India,

00:15:59.129 --> 00:16:03.330
professional hit me. So he came here. He came

00:16:03.330 --> 00:16:07.490
in the FBI had. That's why the FBI got into a

00:16:07.490 --> 00:16:11.529
case because they found out that he was a terrorist.

00:16:12.470 --> 00:16:16.830
That he was an American or Hispanic. He was an

00:16:16.830 --> 00:16:21.409
Indian guy. So he poisoned me. On the 18th of

00:16:21.409 --> 00:16:26.029
November, December 18, 2016. and then they took

00:16:26.029 --> 00:16:29.929
me to the hospital. He had paid the ambulance

00:16:29.929 --> 00:16:32.409
drivers and everybody because he was connected

00:16:32.409 --> 00:16:36.289
with everybody. He had gotten a lot of money

00:16:36.289 --> 00:16:40.769
because he had money to pay off everybody and

00:16:40.769 --> 00:16:44.470
anybody. How I found out the ambulance took 45

00:16:44.470 --> 00:16:47.370
minutes to make it to the hospital, to the emergency

00:16:47.370 --> 00:16:52.230
room, a mile distance from my house? Impossible.

00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:58.559
in a logical thinking. And in the hospital, they

00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:02.440
took three days to put me in a room. And then

00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:05.519
I argued with the doctor. When I was discharged

00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:08.960
from the hospital, they didn't want to give me

00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:12.539
a report because they told me, you got a stroke.

00:17:13.220 --> 00:17:15.480
And I fought with the doctor. He said, no, I

00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:20.420
didn't got a stroke. I got poisoned. No, he says.

00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:25.099
And so they did the other studies that said,

00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:28.980
for a stroke, obviously, everything came out

00:17:28.980 --> 00:17:31.940
negative, right? Because I was telling the truth.

00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:36.900
I told the doctor, doctor, I respect you for

00:17:36.900 --> 00:17:40.619
your training, but you are not God. I know more

00:17:40.619 --> 00:17:44.980
than you. Because I was threatened, I was poisoned,

00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:48.640
I took the poison myself, so you don't know and

00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:51.539
you are not going to tell me anything. Because

00:17:51.539 --> 00:17:54.599
I'm not going to agree with you. But again, I

00:17:54.599 --> 00:17:57.660
respect you because you are a doctor. So did

00:17:57.660 --> 00:18:00.119
they do some blood tests to find the poisoning?

00:18:00.660 --> 00:18:03.539
No, they didn't do anything. They just went straight

00:18:03.539 --> 00:18:07.240
to a stroke. Because they say it's stroke and

00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:09.720
you're not going to tell me anything else. So

00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:11.859
was there a point that you actually died from

00:18:11.859 --> 00:18:15.480
this poison? Yeah, I'm going through that right

00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:21.980
now. So then on the 12th day, I was dying. And

00:18:21.980 --> 00:18:27.220
I told my wife, I'm going to die. And then she

00:18:27.220 --> 00:18:29.259
didn't believe it. She was with me in the hospital

00:18:29.259 --> 00:18:33.619
room. And then I was hooked to many, many cables

00:18:33.619 --> 00:18:37.299
and everything. And a nurse was what monitor

00:18:37.299 --> 00:18:40.819
to keep it 24 hours checking on me. And then

00:18:40.819 --> 00:18:47.029
I heard that the nurse said out loud, Oh, I saw

00:18:47.029 --> 00:18:50.509
Mario's aura coming out of him. It's the first

00:18:50.509 --> 00:18:54.190
time that I see that. So I died at that moment.

00:18:54.650 --> 00:18:58.410
And so I stretched my body and all the cables

00:18:58.410 --> 00:19:03.650
came off. So I went and I went to heaven and

00:19:03.650 --> 00:19:07.690
I was looking for my dad there. Couldn't find

00:19:07.690 --> 00:19:11.150
my dad. I spent a long time watching for my dad,

00:19:11.230 --> 00:19:14.529
calling him and everything. My dad had died.

00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:20.460
four years prior to that time, and no, I didn't

00:19:20.460 --> 00:19:25.599
find it. It was heaven, similar to what I had

00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:30.299
seen the first time. Then all of a sudden, it

00:19:30.299 --> 00:19:34.319
changed to darkness and the smell of sulfur,

00:19:34.839 --> 00:19:40.279
and I saw demons. I heard demons talking and

00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:42.599
taking me. They were going to take me. Yeah,

00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:45.759
and they take me to hell. So I spent over there

00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:50.660
and I saw a hill, and I was so afraid and everything.

00:19:51.299 --> 00:19:55.440
And then all of a sudden, a huge hand, and I

00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:59.059
mean gigantic, I mean that hand was incredible,

00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:04.539
big, huge. It landed on my head, on my forehead,

00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:08.599
and it brought me back to where I was. By that

00:20:08.599 --> 00:20:11.440
time, the nurse was already in the room. with

00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:16.960
my wife and told me, Mario, why do you try to

00:20:16.960 --> 00:20:20.619
commit suicide? And I said, no, I didn't do that.

00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:23.660
But I didn't want to argue with him. He said,

00:20:23.660 --> 00:20:26.740
yes. He says, promise me that you are not going

00:20:26.740 --> 00:20:31.220
to commit suicide again. He went back and he

00:20:31.220 --> 00:20:35.519
hooked all the cables back at precision to make

00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:40.390
the monitor work appropriately. and went back

00:20:40.390 --> 00:20:46.089
to the room to check on the monitor. Then I came

00:20:46.089 --> 00:20:51.950
back to the room and I saw the hand that brought

00:20:51.950 --> 00:20:58.390
me back. And from El Salvador, a niece of my

00:20:58.390 --> 00:21:01.230
wife called her at that moment and told her,

00:21:01.329 --> 00:21:06.529
we were praying for Mario and we saw a hand.

00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:10.599
They came out of nowhere and brought him back

00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:14.880
to the hospital room. I mean, coincidence or

00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:18.279
reality, I don't know. But what I saw, the hand

00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:20.480
that they showed over there too. At the same

00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:23.940
time that I saw it. So how does your family react

00:21:23.940 --> 00:21:28.519
when you tell them about this? My family, they

00:21:28.519 --> 00:21:31.539
weren't doing what I believe me. Obviously they

00:21:31.539 --> 00:21:33.880
thought because all the people told my family.

00:21:34.250 --> 00:21:37.210
that I was losing my mind, that I was going crazy.

00:21:38.250 --> 00:21:42.509
Let me ask you this. So you were in a hellish

00:21:42.509 --> 00:21:45.269
kind of place. How did you get out of there?

00:21:45.309 --> 00:21:48.930
Was it just the hand or did something else happen?

00:21:49.710 --> 00:21:52.650
So you went to heaven, then hell, and then straight

00:21:52.650 --> 00:21:57.950
back to your body? Yeah, by the hand. Yeah, that's

00:21:57.950 --> 00:22:00.670
very unusual. It's often the other way around.

00:22:01.910 --> 00:22:06.400
Yeah. And all my life since that time demons

00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:12.000
have chased me around. One time I woke up with

00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:16.660
a seal right here from here all the way to here.

00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:22.259
And then someone came and then they printed a

00:22:22.259 --> 00:22:26.460
seal. Very eligible. And it took three days to

00:22:26.460 --> 00:22:29.380
disappear. Back to my question a minute ago.

00:22:29.400 --> 00:22:32.660
Let me ask the flip side of that. Was there any

00:22:32.660 --> 00:22:35.880
kind of recollection of how you got from heaven

00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:41.319
to hell? Yeah It was just that I wasn't Remember

00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:44.859
when I was in heaven, I was looking for my dad

00:22:44.859 --> 00:22:49.680
every single where every single place I went

00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:52.859
places and I was calling him out by his name

00:22:52.859 --> 00:22:56.640
and Queen Queen Queen catching couldn't see him

00:22:56.640 --> 00:23:01.930
with a meeting And then they said, I might give

00:23:01.930 --> 00:23:04.309
up. I don't know what to do. I don't want to

00:23:04.309 --> 00:23:07.950
live here in heaven if I don't find my dad. And

00:23:07.950 --> 00:23:11.289
I couldn't find it. So I was thinking about that

00:23:11.289 --> 00:23:14.069
and thinking, thinking, and thinking, and thinking.

00:23:14.549 --> 00:23:17.809
When the demons come to me and they took me to

00:23:17.809 --> 00:23:22.690
the barren place, to the pit. And then it was

00:23:22.690 --> 00:23:27.180
awful. It was scary. And then I couldn't control

00:23:27.180 --> 00:23:32.259
myself until a hand came and broke me back. That

00:23:32.259 --> 00:23:36.160
was the transition from heaven to hell. Do you

00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:39.380
have any kind of thoughts as to what the hand

00:23:39.380 --> 00:23:43.660
was or who the hand was? To me, to me, I mean,

00:23:43.799 --> 00:23:49.200
to me it's Jesus. I'm a very, very spiritual

00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:53.099
person. I'm not a religious person. I don't believe

00:23:53.099 --> 00:23:57.019
in any religion. because I see many bad things

00:23:57.019 --> 00:24:01.240
in religions, but I'm a Christian person, consider

00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:05.359
myself Christian. Okay, I've been reading the

00:24:05.359 --> 00:24:08.960
Bible since I was six years old. I've been praying

00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:12.740
every single day about 10 times a day, sometimes

00:24:12.740 --> 00:24:16.640
even 20 times a day since I was five years old,

00:24:16.859 --> 00:24:20.819
thanks to my dad. My dad and I were best friends

00:24:20.819 --> 00:24:26.089
all his life and even now. He has died 12 years

00:24:26.089 --> 00:24:29.009
ago and I still miss him. And I still talk to

00:24:29.009 --> 00:24:34.210
him in my dreams. And when I pray and I talk

00:24:34.210 --> 00:24:38.029
to him and I feel that he's spiritually with

00:24:38.029 --> 00:24:40.869
me, helping me out. So that's why I couldn't

00:24:40.869 --> 00:24:45.369
live in heaven yet if I didn't meet my dad over

00:24:45.369 --> 00:24:50.009
there. That's why I guess that the bad spirits

00:24:50.009 --> 00:24:55.500
took me to hell. And I was in hell that there

00:24:55.500 --> 00:24:57.819
was a state I didn't want to be there either.

00:24:58.819 --> 00:25:01.579
And that's when the hand came in. The hand to

00:25:01.579 --> 00:25:06.579
me, again, is God's hand. No doubt about that

00:25:06.579 --> 00:25:10.519
in my mind, in my spirit, and in my thinking.

00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:16.000
And like I tell people, I'm honest. You want

00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:18.160
to believe it, fine. You don't want to believe

00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:21.640
it, fine. But I'm not going to lie to nobody.

00:25:22.109 --> 00:25:25.430
That's what I saw that's what I I led through

00:25:25.430 --> 00:25:29.549
in that problem tell nothing else if I made a

00:25:29.549 --> 00:25:33.849
mistake is by mistake But if you ask me I got

00:25:33.849 --> 00:25:38.349
answer answer everything Honestly, well, that's

00:25:38.349 --> 00:25:42.130
part of the hardest part of coming back is Some

00:25:42.130 --> 00:25:45.869
people not believing you Mm -hmm. I think that

00:25:45.869 --> 00:25:50.380
these experiences are always to teach use something,

00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:53.039
the person that goes through it. What do you

00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:54.799
think you were supposed to learn from these?

00:25:55.720 --> 00:26:01.740
To be a better person. Because I've always been

00:26:01.740 --> 00:26:06.140
a nice person and I have suffered so much. But

00:26:06.140 --> 00:26:10.579
I mean, because people have bullied me and everything.

00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:14.759
I've been poor and I don't have money. I don't

00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:19.390
have nothing. And I work every day. And I made

00:26:19.390 --> 00:26:22.490
my two sons famous, famous, if you say I'm famous,

00:26:23.329 --> 00:26:28.809
and they abandoned me. I mean, I was homeless

00:26:28.809 --> 00:26:34.250
for a lot of, for about five years, and they

00:26:34.250 --> 00:26:37.730
didn't have pity on me or mercy coming to give

00:26:37.730 --> 00:26:40.430
me a piece of food, people gave me food. And

00:26:40.430 --> 00:26:43.529
so that made me, that made me, all those things

00:26:43.529 --> 00:26:48.960
have made me different, a different person. You

00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:51.539
know, I don't care what you think about me as

00:26:51.539 --> 00:26:55.319
a human being, I don't think about what my children

00:26:55.319 --> 00:26:58.279
think about me. My mom, I hadn't seen my mom

00:26:58.279 --> 00:27:03.660
for about 20 years. No, my brothers, they disowned

00:27:03.660 --> 00:27:06.619
me and I don't see because I fear that they're

00:27:06.619 --> 00:27:11.299
gonna kill me again if I go with them. Okay,

00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:16.099
and then my mom made me a nice person, a loving

00:27:16.099 --> 00:27:21.680
person. You know, and it's not my day. I think

00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:25.200
it's not my day to go. Because remember one thing,

00:27:25.299 --> 00:27:29.160
that we have all the humans. One day all of us

00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:31.940
are gonna go. And we're not gonna take anything

00:27:31.940 --> 00:27:35.700
with us. All material things or intellectual

00:27:35.700 --> 00:27:39.380
things that we do. I have written like 10 books.

00:27:40.059 --> 00:27:42.500
I'm not gonna take that. I have written like

00:27:42.500 --> 00:27:47.240
40 songs. I'm a singer -songwriter. and not a

00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:51.460
good one, and I made my children famous. But

00:27:51.460 --> 00:27:54.279
that doesn't mean anything to me. But sometimes

00:27:54.279 --> 00:27:57.839
I ask myself, I said, why me? Yeah, sometimes

00:27:57.839 --> 00:28:01.400
I go that route with God, and I say, why me?

00:28:01.539 --> 00:28:05.559
Why I have to suffer so much? All I've done is

00:28:05.559 --> 00:28:09.940
help people and be nice to people. And I've been

00:28:09.940 --> 00:28:16.180
attacked. by humans and by evil spirits all my

00:28:16.180 --> 00:28:20.559
life, because I have. I'll be a liar if I tell

00:28:20.559 --> 00:28:24.259
you I haven't seen bad spirits, demons, because

00:28:24.259 --> 00:28:27.019
I have seen them, I have felt them, and they

00:28:27.019 --> 00:28:30.359
have pushed me, they have tortured me, and they

00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:34.480
have done awful things, tormented me, and everything.

00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:39.880
And I'll be a liar if I tell the world what they

00:28:39.880 --> 00:28:44.839
want to hear. No. I'm going to say what God has

00:28:44.839 --> 00:28:50.140
shown to me. Well, it's rough. Let's end on a

00:28:50.140 --> 00:28:53.000
happy note here, or at least a positive note.

00:28:53.579 --> 00:28:57.599
I can tell you're a happy guy too. You have a

00:28:57.599 --> 00:29:01.720
great smile, and you are someone who has actually

00:29:01.720 --> 00:29:04.920
had a glimpse of heaven, and most of the rest

00:29:04.920 --> 00:29:08.700
of us haven't. So for someone that may have a

00:29:08.700 --> 00:29:13.299
fear of death, or just really worry about what's

00:29:13.299 --> 00:29:16.579
going to happen someday, give them something

00:29:16.579 --> 00:29:19.740
positive about your glimpse of heaven that they

00:29:19.740 --> 00:29:23.700
can look forward to. Sure, that would be my honor.

00:29:24.059 --> 00:29:27.000
Thank you for asking me that question. And I'm

00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:29.779
going to say it this way, quoting a little bit

00:29:29.779 --> 00:29:32.640
of the words of a person that you might know

00:29:32.640 --> 00:29:36.309
and the world knows. I mean, he's so famous,

00:29:36.430 --> 00:29:39.170
he was so famous, he died some time ago, and

00:29:39.170 --> 00:29:44.130
his name is Billy Graham, okay, a famous one.

00:29:44.349 --> 00:29:49.430
And I'm gonna quote that, to need people with

00:29:49.430 --> 00:29:55.250
that, happy, glad thought. Okay, one time I heard

00:29:55.250 --> 00:29:58.109
him, I was listening to this episode of him,

00:29:58.309 --> 00:30:00.950
and he was saying, someone asked him, he says,

00:30:01.259 --> 00:30:05.680
Mr. Graham, have you ever heard or seen the Lord,

00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:12.000
God, Jesus or God? He says, no. God, Jesus never

00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:15.220
gave me that privilege. I never saw it. I felt

00:30:15.220 --> 00:30:19.519
it. But it's not the same seeing Him and feeling

00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:24.359
that person on me. And I said, who am I? Who

00:30:24.359 --> 00:30:28.059
am I? I said to myself, who am I that you haven't

00:30:28.059 --> 00:30:30.539
given me that privilege? Because if I had...

00:30:30.589 --> 00:30:34.349
If I told you the contrary, I'm lying. And I'm

00:30:34.349 --> 00:30:38.529
not gonna lie, okay? Jesus has talked to me.

00:30:39.009 --> 00:30:43.529
God has, I have seen His face. I have seen those

00:30:43.529 --> 00:30:47.190
things. And I say, who am I in comparison with

00:30:47.190 --> 00:30:50.970
Mr. Billy Graham? He touched the hearts of millions

00:30:50.970 --> 00:30:53.410
of people, not in the United States, but around

00:30:53.410 --> 00:30:58.170
the world. And God didn't give him the privilege

00:30:58.170 --> 00:31:02.150
that has given to me to see him, to hear him,

00:31:02.390 --> 00:31:05.789
and to talk to him. Can you imagine? That's the

00:31:05.789 --> 00:31:09.710
truth. And so that's what I tell people. You

00:31:09.710 --> 00:31:13.329
never know, but when you see it, like right now

00:31:13.329 --> 00:31:18.869
I have this deadly vertigo and I'm at dissonance.

00:31:19.710 --> 00:31:22.769
Okay, I woke up, that's why my daughter, Hilda,

00:31:22.970 --> 00:31:26.980
I woke up. hold it all on furniture. I cannot

00:31:26.980 --> 00:31:31.160
walk, I cannot walk. I cannot stand up. But I'm

00:31:31.160 --> 00:31:35.160
happy. I'm happy because especially when I do

00:31:35.160 --> 00:31:39.720
these things, talk shows, and I say I'm gonna

00:31:39.720 --> 00:31:43.920
speak the truth. Only the truth. If people believe

00:31:43.920 --> 00:31:48.160
me, fine. If not, if they think that I'm a liar

00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:53.299
and I'm a hypocrite, fine. But I know that I'm

00:31:53.299 --> 00:31:57.819
a liar. that I'm sticking to the truth. All right.

00:31:57.819 --> 00:32:00.380
I have one more last question. The last last

00:32:00.380 --> 00:32:06.160
question. Is heaven real? To me, yes. All right.

00:32:06.279 --> 00:32:09.059
Mario, appreciate you being with me today and

00:32:09.059 --> 00:32:12.559
