Woman dies and encounters God, "You are the image, I am the original"

On the Real Spiritual Talk podcast, host Lamont Gates interviews near-death experiencer Rosemary Thornton, who was raised Christian and deeply grounded in the Bible. After her husband died by suicide and she was diagnosed with stage-two cancer, medical mistakes during and after a gynecological biopsy led to severe bleeding, her heart stopping, and what she calls a “temporary death experience.” Rosemary describes popping out of her body into a comforting velvety darkness marked by profound peace, encountering a powerful being who identified as “the original” to her “image and likeness,” and communicating with angels who affirmed she was loved and that earthly life is hard. She later stood in a white mist-filled room being cleansed before a door, chose to return after seeing and feeling a nurse’s future grief, and recovered without brain damage; two months later no cancer was found. She says the deeper healing was release from grief and guilt, including messages like “You’ve circled the mountain long enough” and that her husband’s fate was “none of your business,” reinforcing that God is love and wants people to love one another. 00:00 Meet Rosemary Thornton 00:29 Faith Before the NDE 02:16 Medical Crisis Begins 03:43 Out of Body Awakening 06:36 Peace in the Void 07:39 The Original Presence 10:04 Prayers Answered 11:46 Angels and Belonging 17:49 White Room Cleansing 20:56 The Door Decision 21:52 Nurse Vision and Return 24:10 Back in the ER 25:35 Cancer Gone After NDE 26:54 Angelic Grief Breakthrough 29:31 Medical Proof of Death 30:18 Floating Into Darkness 32:21 Meeting a Motherly God 35:01 How Communication Worked 36:18 Time and Brain Filters 43:39 Sharing the Story Carefully 46:19 God Is Love Message 48:36 Final Takeaways and Thanks
