Robert Kopecky
Robert Kopecky's story and perspective are rather unique than most. From crashing into a utility pole in his 20's, to going numb after a night out, to being knocked unconscious with a crowbar, Robert has had a brush with death enough times to pick a thing or two on the concept of life and death.
Having traveled different paths in his lifetime—including years of research—Robert engages us in an interesting light-hearted conversation where he shares some nuggets of experiential wisdom regarding finding our purpose in life.
Key Topics Discussed
Near-Death Experiences are custom made to a person’s unique circumstances or karma. “Each of my NDEs were very relevant to the point in my life where I was.”
Having a spiritual perspective, whereby “you’re not too tightly wound into everything in your mind, moment, or culture.” Finding meaning in life through the little things such as being present in relationships.
Details of each of his 3 NDE's – including how he felt a sense of peace, seeing a radiant illumination, the sensation that there was an entity behind him, and seeing his life reviewed in a ‘time box’ in this other realm.
According to Robert, Heaven is not a location—but a state of being. It is here and now. We all have the opportunity to live a heavenly life here on earth. “We live in this eternal moment. This is where our opportunities are. This is where we remove the obstacles to love.” - Finding the “flow” in your life. “If you’re tired of rowing upstream, turn around.”
Back-to-back discussion on enjoying life and having an alternative perspective to the inevitable concept of death. “The soul requires death to experience heaven.”
“We are these diaphanous, luminous, energetic beings that just happen to be connected to these vehicles right now.” (Robert Kopecky).
The importance and role of meditation in Robert’s quest to finding answers and meaning. We’re not alone. Someone (a guardian angel) is watching.
