David Bennett shares the story of his Near-Death Experience, drowning during a severe storm off the California Coast in 1983 while acting as Chief Engineer aboard the Navy research vessel “Aloha.” During his encounter on the Other Side he experienced the nature of his True Self, got to meet his Soul Family, and was guided by two Light Beings back into his body. David shares with us the Purpose he was given by God and how he was able to beat Stage 4 lung cancer by applying the lessons he learned from his Near-Death Experience.

I love you. All.
Beautiful ❤
Love you friend.
“How is the enormity of me, going to fit in there?” I love this visual.
How is it possible to be grateful for all of your life? I have multiple undiagnosed conditions that is unlivable. I do not want to wake up anymore. The pain & dead is so horrific, it's eating me up inside. Panic attacks constantly, feeling sick etc also no $, or ins etc. How am I supposed to be grateful? 😭 Ty so much❤🙏🏼
That’s incredible that he was able to become cancer free completely even though it metastasized in his spine, brain, lungs??? He needs to do an additional interview speaking about THAT in detail. That’s INCREDIBLE!!!!
Jesus Christ is the love.
Thank you guys for putting so much love into these videos. More more MORE! ❤❤❤blessings
This human was more valiant at age 7 than I am at 70. I salute D.B.'s courage and strength.
This man is such a good teacher and example. Thank you.
What a inspiring story, David. I didn’t have anything like an NDE, but tasted some small bliss. I had one small experience that really touched me and ever since I tried to replicate it and failed. Years ago I had a very bad cold, was very distressed and began to have a panic attack and couldn’t sleep. As a Muslim I said let me recite the verse of Kursi, which is supposed chase away demons. Lo by the time I finished reciting the verse I started feeling extremely calm and connected to the whole universe… it was like this problem was no longer mine personally so it disappeared into the thin air in the vastness of the universe … there wasn’t the slightest panic or distress anymore. I just felt so peaceful (powerful like nothing can do anything to disturb me in the slightest) that I instantly felled asleep to wake up only in the next morning. It was the deepest sleep I have ever had. The experience was so pleasant that I never forgot it. I have been ever since trying to have it again whenever I get distressed or in panic, but it’s not happening … I guess it was a one- time gift.
His body language looks off and fake 😅
I want to escape into the light tonite…please someone help me 😢

I've watched a lot of NDE videos, but this the best, most impactful one I've seen. Thank you David for being so open to us and telling such a wonderful story.
What a great man
Gratitude is the key. For everything…. ❤ I often think of myself on the other side looking back at allllll of my experiences here so I take the time now to just sit in gratitude for petting a purring cat or seeing a shooting star while sitting in the cold next to a fire knowing that those are the moments I’m soaking up to take with me from this world.
What a story
Dave I hope you find this interesting.
Saturn opposite Saturn transit is a period of reassessment and restructuring that occurs at ages 15, 44 and 74. Also known as the Saturn Opposition, it is often a challenging turning point in life because the opposition aspect is similar to Saturn’s nature. Both make things slow and cold, causing blockages, restrictions, delays, rigidity, repression, hardship, standstills, and crystallization.
Whatever the case, circumstances will encourage you to slow down, reexamine your long-term goals and prepare for a new seven-year cycle, so patience is essential. The most critical areas of your life are being tested to ensure their soundness.
If your career, relationships or home life is causing stress, serious decisions may be necessary to realign yourself with your karmic path. The further you have strayed from that path or the more irresponsible you have been, the greater the stress and challenges will be.
RIP Dave. You’re finally home, 12/26/25.
We are sad to have learned of David Bennett's passing a few days ago.
David was the first person we filmed for our Coming Home Channel – and his kindness, generosity and encouragement meant the world to us. Nobody knew us, we hadn't even launched our YouTube channel yet, but he introduced us to many people we then later filmed and was incredibly welcoming and supportive.
We know he is now back Home with his Soul Family and immersed in Beauty and Love once again, and we are sending our love to his wife and family during this time.
This is exactly why we make these NDE films, because these stories can share with the world the fact that we don't cease to exist when we die. We embark on a new chapter, and Bennett's Near-Death experience, like all NDEs, reveals to us a glimpse of the joy and beauty we can expect when it's our own time to go Home.
Thank you David for your life and your story – Godspeed
Jesse & Eliot
He looks like Bill Murray's brother 😁
AM I THE ONLY 1 THAT WAS HOPING HE WOULD SHARE V THE HOLISTIC FORMULA THAT ALLOWED HIM TO BEAT HIS CANCER ….😮😢
You're home now ❤❤
So whats his purpose?
This was such an amazing NDE. I wish it was longer. We need a part two! I want to know about his life and some more lessons from him. I was struggling with wanting to be here and his video gave me hope. I hope he's doing well and still in remission. Thank you Dave! I can totally see how doing this interview is a part of your purpose. Looking at the comments shows me how much you're helping others!
The ship and ocean gave you CPR!!
I overdosed on Heroin once. After almost a decade of use, off and on of course I tried to stop all that time, but alas, it was a constant struggle. Anyways. Nothing happened. Nothing happened to me whatsoever. It was all dark. Just blackness. Didnt feel weightless. Didnt feel anything. There was nothing. All the sudden I feel EXTREMELY hot, amd my eyes shot open, I was alive. Paramedic looked me in my eyes and said "Congratulations, you were almost a statistic." He said i wasnt breathign when they got there, they couldnt get me breathing with 1 narcan, so they did another, and nothing happened. My face was blue, an officer, officer DeLeon, slapped my face and did cpr and it worked. That officer saved me. But when i died nothing happened. I may not have died all the way tbh. I have always wondered if I was there, or just extremely close.
I love all of these NDEs but this one has another impactful incident…In this one, I wish he had expanded on how he beat stage 4 lung and bone cancer. Plz share that info…
I’m sure he’s very well!!! ❤
Nice hallucinations
I wish these stories be translated in Urdu
This is so weird, but when I was a young girl (def under 10, maybe even under 8) I had a thought/sensation that this life was a dream and not my real life…..can't explain it
David is a man's man! Focused, driven, tough, brave, AND loving!
You are amazing! I wish I were more like you, but then…who would be me?
