  • Near Death Experience - Re-visiting "The Portal" w/ Krishnanand | COVEpod 43
    Jul 23 2024

    In this episode of the Carganilla Online Variety Entertainment Podcast, host Paul Carganilla welcomes Krishnanand Spackey back into the COVE to continue the conversation about his incredible true story of survival and mysticism.

    Krishnanand catapulted to the ‘other side’ when he was hit in the face by a full-sized SUV. Serendipity and miracles kept him alive in the street that day, as he was yanked from the clutches of death. While he remained in a Stage 3 Glasgow coma for nine days, he remained fully conscious in a celestial dimension he now calls "The Portal".

    He awoke without an identity, having no recall of his name, his partner of 11 years, or his 20 year old son. Krishnanand’s traumatic brain injury and near-death experience persisted for over nine years. The only thing that sustained him was his ability to connect—at will—to The Portal dimension where he receives guidance from akashic-agents (angels) of destiny.

    Drop in on host Paul's conversation with Krishnanand as they explore the wisdom Krishnanand gained from these experiences to help others through his books, services, and counseling. What's more, he passionately lives out his mission to assist others in achieving spiritual bliss and overcoming life's challenges.

    Producer Craig Jackman wraps up the episode with a poignant discussion around the poem, "On Death's Door" by Riku Sarashiki on AllPoetry.com.
