“How to Get to Heaven (Without Really Dying)”

Most people believe that you have to die to get to Heaven, but those who have suffered Near-Death Experiences tell a different tale. The state of happiness, serenity, and purpose that we equate with Heaven can be found in this life, in this humble but miraculous human form, just as it will be in any life we’ll ever live. Three-time NDE survivor and author Robert Kopecky leads us into the extra-dimensional potential of our Life. He explains practical means of attaining the heavenly state reported by NDE survivors: the experience of a transcendently intelligent, unconditionally loving “Divine Consciousness,” and the sensations of being enfolded into a field of illuminative connectedness. He describes his three very different NDEs, and explores the profound lessons he learned from each: an “OBE” that teaches us the lessons of Perspective; a “Life Review” that teaches us the lessons of Presence; and having been “Forced Back Into Life,” that teaches us the lessons of Purpose. These lessons show how our NDEs demonstrate our sixth-sensory ability to develop an “angel’s vision,” rise above the traps of the ego, discover the principles that act as “ladders to Heaven,” build our lives within the “eternal moment,” explore the ancients’ maps, a heavenly state-of-being, and offer tips for restoring a state of “Heaven on Earth” to our beleaguered planet. NDEs can correct our human misperceptions through these gifts that expand Divine Consciousness into our lives.

 

About Robert Kopecky:

Robert Kopecky survived a traumatic childhood, and then traveled extensively living a variety of lives until becoming an award-winning illustrator, art director, and animation designer for The New York Times, PBS Kids, and many others. His unusual path was punctuated by three dramatic, distinctly different Near-Death Experiences. Eventually, he was delivered to his own “dark night of the soul,” followed by more than a decade of study, meditation, and service. His realizations of what life and death are–and can be–inspired him to write and teach about the lessons he’d learned on his path (preferably not taken), in a serious but light-hearted way. His first book, How to Survive Life (and Death), A Guide for Happiness in This World and Beyond, was published in 2014 by Conari Press. His essays and memoirs appear online at Gaia, The Mindful Word, Soul Life Times, Innerself, Beliefnet, and more, and on his popular art and spirituality blog at RobertKopecky.blogspot.com. He’s made more than fifty radio and podcast appearances, like Coast to Coast AM, IANDS Radio with Lee Witting, and Seek Reality with Roberta Grimes; and has spoken for IANDS’ Explore the Extraordinary 2016, and The Wisdom of the Near-Death Experience Symposium, 2017. His second book, How to Get To Heaven (Without Really Dying), Wisdom From a Near Death Survivor, was released March 2018, from Llewellyn Books. www.RobertKopecky.com
