David A. Williamson had a near-death experience during cardiac arrest that didn’t just change his beliefs — it ended the person he used to be.

After watching his body die from outside the hospital room, he returned without the anger, fear, and rigid identity that once controlled his life.

We explore ego death, consciousness, attention, and how a single experience can permanently alter how you relate to the world — and to other people.

This conversation isn’t about death itself.It’s about what survives when identity falls away.
