Oprah Winfrey

And I, when we were preparing for you to come on the show, I mentioned to my longtime producer, Tara, I said, I remember years ago, it was between 90 and 94, And the reason I remember it, because I was so struck by what he said, and it changed me. It changed the way I thought. So Tom Sawyer had had an accident where a car had fallen on him.

And I remember him being on the show and saying that he used to be a really cruel person and that, or I started the questions with like, I heard you used to be cruel. And he goes, oh, that's pretty harsh. But he used to be a really pretty cruel person and was abusive to his wife. And yet he, in that near-death experience, experienced everything he'd ever done to his own. Here's Tom Sawyer.

Wow. This is 1994. I'm looking at the woman's face behind him like, what is he saying? Have other people that you have studied talked about the similarities of reliving other people's experiences? The reason why that made such an impression on me, I actually got goosebumps when he said he felt everything that he'd ever done.

I thought, oh, that makes sense. That is complete karmic sense that the life review would be that you feel everything you've ever done.

That's what he was saying. My abuse to my wife, I felt how she felt, and therefore I come back trying not to be that kind of person.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Because... Many people that you have studied have felt that connection to the oneness of all that we read about, that all religions teach about. But somehow when you go to the other side or go to the other realm, you become a part of that and you understand it differently. And that's why after is so profound. It's not just about the life after death.

It's about how you choose to live your life after death.
