A former ‘atheist’ has come forward to share his fascinating story of how he became a believer and ‘loved him so much.’
Jose Hernandez, from Canadahe said his journey to the other side started with a terrible accident as an electrical engineer who was running power lines on the side of the road.
When the friend hit their utility vehicle on January 6In 2000, the then 46-year-old Hernandez was left with multiple broken ribs that prevented him from breathing when paramedics rushed him to the hospital.
Although he does not believe in the afterlifeHernandez said he spent a lot of time looking for help from a higher power.
He said: ‘I started thinking about God,’ remembering the time I was in the hospital. ‘To say: ‘If you take me to this event I will change.’
Hernandez said: ‘That fear I had at that time was very competitive,’ and I began to ask myself, ‘What if God is real?’
Doctors and nurses rushed to help him, Hernandez said His consciousness was soon transferred through the dark otherworldly gates This caused him to be ‘surprised immediately.’
He stayed three minutes after he died, then came back but was back in the same position for another two minutes, which he said felt like hours as he stared at his lifeless body in the hospital.
Engineer and self-proclaimed former ‘atheist’ – Jose Hernandez (above) – has come forward to share the story of his near-death experience that left him with ‘great love’ and made him a believer. Hernandez is now an artist and public speaker in Canada
‘Everything I believed in was destroyed when I died,’ according to Hernandez, who is now close to 70 years old. ‘Everything I believed in science and that’s all. That was not the answer. No. There was another thing that was created.’
The Okanagan, British Columbia resident revealed his near-death experience during his trip interview is a YouTube channel Shaman Oaks.
‘I was in an electric bucket truck,’ Hernandez said of the near-fatal car accident.
‘The guy who was with me, my friend, was really worried about cutting my electricity at the top, so he was really worried looking up and he just looked like he’d been hit by a tree.’
‘My hope when I died was that I wouldn’t face anything and be nothing,’ the former atheist revealed, ‘now I’m starting to see strange things.’
Hernandez explained the origins of his atheism as his conflict between the religious beliefs of his parents.
‘I had an argument. My mother was a Catholic and my father was a native of the country. My mother said, Go find God at church, my father said, look in the window. God is everywhere, isn’t He?’ as he told another podcast, Next Level Soulin 2022.
‘So I chose the path of science.’
As the doctors began to perform CPR on his damaged rib, Hernandez recalled how he watched the entire incident from a corner of the room, beside the ‘shadow, the door.’
“It just stopped there,” said Shaman Oaks, Alan Chapman. ‘Then I started thinking ‘You know what, I’ve had a rough and tough life, maybe it’s better to quit.
Next, Hernandez recalled the feeling of ‘falling’ down the black hole and landing in a space covered in bright and hot light. The light seemed to come alive to him and left him with a ‘wonderful sense of peace and quiet and stillness’ (pictured above is the Shaman Oaks podcast)
‘And the moment I said that, or thought that, the shadow just moved,’ he continued. ‘In my mind I saw his hand reaching for me, and it just touched my toe.
‘And the moment it touched my toe I just felt great relief, and relaxation, peace and love and stillness. I was happy.’
Hernandez then described a shadowy, ghost-like figure giving him words of comfort as he moved to ‘the other side.’
‘I heard a voice next to me saying ‘Think of your body like a car, and that car has five million miles on it, and there’s nothing we can do to fix it. So you have to say goodbye to your body,” he recalled.
‘Then a voice said to me ‘Well, it’s time to move on.
Next, Hernandez recalled the feeling of ‘falling’ down the black hole and landing in a space covered in bright and hot light.
The light seemed alive to him and left him with ‘wonderful peace, calmness and stillness.’ And soon he began to reconnect with his dead father.
She found herself flying to a beautiful, green planet like Earth where she learned that she could watch over her children from this spiritual place in the sky.
Another cross-country flight ended with him touching down to get a good look at a man on the ground, near the beach. This tragic decision helped him reunite with his dead father.
‘It was very surprising because my father and I had a very difficult relationship,’ said Hernandez. ‘We had a lot of arguments and I don’t even remember telling my father in life, ‘I love you,’ or him to me.’ But all that changed when they met again in the area.
‘When I met my father on the other side,’ he told the podcast, ‘I realized that sometimes we can’t say something here, (but) we will be able to say it somewhere.’
Scientists in recent years, including a group from University of Liege in Belgiumhave begun to look closely at near-death experiences (NEDs), visiting their encounters in search of any signs and commonalities between their life-changing experiences.

Charlotte Martial, lead author of the Liege study – published in a peer-reviewed journal Knowledge is Knowledge – I hope to learn what these people’s experiences were like for each other.
After researching more than 150 people who had experienced a ‘classic’ NDE, a team from the University of Liege found that almost a third of the subjects experienced an extraterrestrial experience as the first part of their near-death experience.
The most recent event was relapse (36 percent).
Of all the participants in this study, Feelings of peace (80 percent), seeing bright lights (69 percent) and meeting spirits or spirits of the dead (64 percent) were some of the most common, recurring experiences.
The two most common in this pool of NDE experiencers were ‘quick visions’ (only 5 per cent of survey participants) and ‘precognitive visions’ (four per cent).
‘Although near-death experiences can be so universal that they exhibit enough similarities to be similar to similar experiences,’ Martial concluded, ‘our findings suggest that near-death experiences may not be universal. ‘
‘And,’ Martial added, ‘things don’t seem to follow each other.’
