Todd is joined on the show by authors Dennis, Matt and Sheila Linn. Near-death experiences (NDEs) are common, well-documented, and similar across cultures throughout the world. Current estimates are that between 4 and 15 percent of the world's population have had an NDE. Some of the fascination with NDEs comes from the fact that they often result in great leaps in personal growth. These leaps are characterized by the loss of the fear of death, the healing of deep hurts, an increase in self-esteem and compassion for others, a sense of union with all things, and a clearer sense of how to fulfill one's purpose in life.
Author Mike Clelland joins Todd to discuss his book "The Messengers: Owls, Synchronicity and the UFO Abductee". The owl has held a place of reverence and mystique throughout history. According to Clelland, as strange as this might seem, owls are also showing up in conjunction with the UFO experience.
