In the embrace of the universe, we often find ourselves questioning the nature of existence and the profound mysteries that life presents us. On today's episode, we welcome the extraordinary Carlos Vivas, a man whose near-death experience brought him face to face with the divine and transformed his understanding of life and spirituality. Carlos's story is not just about survival; it’s about a spiritual rebirth that reshaped his entire being.Carlos, raised in a Catholic household, drifted away from his spiritual roots as he immersed himself in the busyness of life. His spiritual journey reignited after a harrowing near-death experience in 2015. While swimming off the coast of Panama City Beach, a powerful rip tide pulled him far into the ocean. Exhausted and on the brink of giving up, Carlos experienced a moment of divine intervention—a dolphin appeared, guiding him back to safety. This miraculous encounter marked the beginning of his spiritual awakening.In Carlos's own words, "The dolphin represent Jesus is the hope of eternal life." This statement resonates deeply as it encapsulates the essence of his transformation. His search for answers led him to Google near-death experiences, where he discovered a vast community of individuals who had undergone similar life-altering events. This sense of belonging and the realization that he was not alone in his experiences provided Carlos with immense comfort and a newfound purpose.After his near-death experience, Carlos found solace in nature, feeling a profound connection with the divine through the natural world. He engaged in what he called "waterfall chasing," spending weekends exploring rivers, mountains, and oceans. This communion with nature became a sanctuary for his soul, offering clarity and peace. He also made significant changes in his lifestyle, such as giving up television and news to preserve his spiritual and emotional well-being.Carlos's journey took a remarkable turn when he had a vivid dream of being in heaven, embraced by Jesus, who imparted crucial spiritual insights. Jesus emphasized the importance of forgiveness as a means of healing and liberation. Forgiveness, Carlos learned, is not just about others but about freeing oneself from the burdens of resentment and pain. This revelation became a cornerstone of his spiritual message.

SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS

1. Forgiveness is Liberation: Holding onto anger and resentment harms oneself more than anyone else. Forgiveness is a powerful act of self-love and healing.
2. Connect with Nature: Nature is a direct link to the divine. Walking barefoot on the earth, being near water, and immersing oneself in the natural world can ground and center the soul.
3. Live in Gratitude: Acknowledging and appreciating the blessings in life, no matter how small, shifts one’s perspective and opens the heart to more profound spiritual experiences.

Carlos’s story is a testament to the transformative power of near-death experiences and the profound spiritual awakenings they can trigger. His encounter with the divine and subsequent miracles reshaped his understanding of life, urging him to live a life of service, love, and deep spiritual connection. His experiences remind us that our time on Earth is fleeting, and the legacy we leave behind is defined by the love and kindness we share with others.In conclusion, Carlos Vivas's journey from near-death to spiritual rebirth is a powerful narrative of hope, transformation, and divine intervention. His story encourages us to seek deeper connections with the divine, to forgive freely, and to live with gratitude and love.
