#423 Makai Elías Calles - What Really Happens When You Die?

So what was it specifically that happened when you were seven years old? Assuming something bit you.

Yes.

Sorry, I missed that detail.

I got stung by a venomous scorpion, but I didn't know it until the next day.

When I looked at my bed and I saw the little, in Spanish it's el huero, the alacran huero, it's the very venomous scorpions, the yellow ones.

And I knew immediately, I looked at it, I was like, I know you did that to me.

And it was quite serious.

But fortunately, I came back.

Unfortunately, I guess he planted in me the seed for this investigation.

So I'm glad I'm here.

And I'm glad I was able to tell the story.

Yeah, what's the biggest thing you learned from doing the documentary?

There's so much but you know, when you talk to these people that have had these near death experiences, and in all the documented cases, they always use the words of love and peace.

That on the other side, they feel immense love and forgiveness and peace and that everything's okay, there's no fear.

And to me, that's very reassuring because we sometimes, you know, we live life in a way that like, you know, death is coming eventually, you know, I won't think about it.

A lot of people are kind of like living their lives with fear of death.

But the thing is, the truth is, we all have to face it in some way.

And I think it's really important to start thinking about it early on, at least I think so.

And so doing the documentary just gave me reassurance, like, I don't think there's anything to fear.

When they're on the other side, they explain how it's just so beautiful, so wondrous, there's no pain, there's no suffering.

And to me, it just tells me we have to live life to the fullest because it's short, one, but also, you know, there's nothing to fear.

Did you have any beliefs that were significantly shifted by the experience of talking to all of these people who have had so-called near-death experiences or, in fact, been clinically dead and then resuscitated somehow?

Well, excuse me.

That is a good question.

I think metaphysically, maybe not so much.
