What if dying wasn’t the end — but the moment everything finally made sense?
On May 22nd, 2023, Jonathan Ashford collapsed alone in his bathroom at 4:30 in the morning. His organs had failed. His skin had turned gray. His temperature dropped one degree for every hour he was gone. Three hours later, he woke up — a completely different person.
This isn’t just a near death experience. Jonathan was clinically dead. And what happened during those three hours will challenge everything you think you know about life, death, consciousness, and love.
Jonathan spent 25 years as a C-suite executive — driven, materialistic, and openly dismissive of anything spiritual. The man who came back sold everything, quit his career, and now lives off donations, sharing what he was told to share with anyone who’s ready to hear it.
This conversation will stay with you.
What it actually felt like to die — and the peaceful, graceful way Jonathan’s body and consciousness separated
The life review that showed him every ripple his actions sent through other people’s lives
The near death experience transformation that turned a corporate executive into a spiritual messenger overnight
What he was taught about time, consciousness, free will, and the benevolent force that never leaves us
The message he brings back for anyone who is grieving, lost, or asking “why am I even here?”
If you’ve ever asked…
Is there really something on the other side — or is death just the end?
Why does grief feel like it’s destroying me instead of teaching me something?
What does unconditional love actually feel like, and can I access it without dying first?
…this episode was made for you.
Jonathan doesn’t sell anything. He doesn’t promote himself. He was told not to. He’s simply here — for the one who needs to hear this today.

💜 Jonathan Ashford was clinically dead for 3 hours — and what he experienced during that time will challenge everything you think you know about life, death, and love.
He came back a completely different person. The driven C-suite executive who dismissed anything spiritual sold everything, left his career, and now lives solely to share what he was shown.
In this conversation, Jonathan talks about what it actually felt like to die, his life review, the teachings he brought back about time and consciousness, and a message that was meant for the one who needs to hear it today.
👇 I'd love to know — what landed for you? Was it the life review? The message at the end? Something he said about why we're here? Drop it in the comments. I read every one.
I was skeptical, but I'm glad I gave him a chance. This last year has been incredibly difficult. I've had physical problems for fifty years and the pain keeps getting worse. Nothing helps. It's hard to believe a God loves me. So I try to believe we have a better life after death.
Thank you so much for this beautiful interview! To say it was life changing would be an understatement. The world needs this message as much as it needed 2000 years ago. Jonathan, thank you for giving up your life to share love with the world.
Brian, I truly appreciated your amazing interview style – how you just encouraged Jonathan to continue talking on whatever topic he started on. This interview was a major gift. I’ve found you through Jonathan’s website, and it’s a gift to discover you as well. Thank you to you beautiful humans who are trying to help us grow 🌱
Thank you for this wonderful conversation! I am making my way back to the Sun. Everything Jonathan shared rang so true, I felt it. 🙏💖
Hi Brian! What a gift! I have listened to/watched a number of NDE experiences and some of these people became life/spiritual coaches and counselors. But they all charge money. To trust Love (aka God) so much, to help people for donations, now that impresses me. To me that's genuine spiritual awakening.
I really appreciate you connecting with Jonathan. I also appreciate you giving Jonathan freedom to express himself without having any agenda. What an awesome interview. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I am definitely reaching out to Jonathan. He is a living mystic. All the other mystics i know are gone (dead).
Thank you both❤️❤️❤️
You need to see/hear this 3x. Your hear so much more!
F A N T A S T I C !
Great, great interview.
Thanks!
Helps so much!

He looks very healthy for someone who still has internal damage from his experience. I would have thought he would have healing from the damage because I've heard him reference other people, in a different video, that were spontaneously healed following awakening. So I don't know why he would still have palpable damage.
Unless the miracle is that he has the damage visible in X ray/CT etc, but it has no effect on him day to day?
So I wasn't fully clear, did he imply that nothing is off limits as regards good choices, because everything is living anyway?
I've been following jonathan for a few days.What a super guy, what a breath of fresh air
Amazing interview. What a gift from God!

I appreciate your thoughtful questions and quiet, intimate way of interviewing. The focus is on the person you are interviewing, not yourself. I am so grateful to find Johnathan now. Thank you!l
What a gift this interview is. I'm so glad that seeking Jonathan brought me to your site. You are a wonderful interviewer Brian.
I don't think cows have a choice about whether to be eaten. They don't even know they exist. Only those with an 'I' know they exist.

NATURE. An imaginary being supposed to preside over the material and animal world.
Everyone wants a life with money, good food, houses, cars, nice clothes, etc., so I guess everyone is running around as the fabricated self.
It's interesting, because I was a couple of times very unwell as a drug addict over 5 years ago, and I remember very vividly, being able to see in my mind, out side the door of my ex's 6 story balcony, lush, green pastures like the Scottish Highlands, with no trees.
I could see it clear as day in my mind. I never told anyone, because I just assumed I was in a psychosis.
I'm now just over 5 years clean and free from drugs and alcohol 🙏
Not sure I understand the beginning – NDE vs "actually died".
Aren't ALL NDE after death? I'm thinking VInny Tolman, I'm pretty sure being zipped up stiff in a body bag is 100% dead – as are all that stop breathing and/or hearts stopped.

Just take a walk in nature. The "space to remember" I'm a loving being, benevolent Source always beside me. Gratitude helps me remember more. Be in a state of reception. I am the veil: release old beliefs, realize and aware of the absence of that fabricated self. The curtain gets pulled back feel for information. Many great ideas and concepts to receive by this beautiful person who embodies Christ Consciousness. 💝
This guy reminds me of a snake oil salesman and master manipulator. Be careful of these people that claim they come back with a gift. I spoke with 2 people that claimed they came back with a gift and it was a total scam.
Very informative and comforting. I've seen another video with Jonathan, and this was a much more relaxed and natural talk.
