Franco's NDE
His near-death experience and vision
Franco Romero had his first near-death experience when he was six months old. He has had supernatural experiences from the age of seven. At this time, he also discovered that he had an “internal voice” that “many years later became his friend.”
When he was fifteen or sixteen, he was able to recall his near-death experience (in a “vision”), seeing much of it through his own mother’s eyes. When he recounted the vision to his mother, she told him that everything he had seen was, in fact, true. He had nearly died at six months in a small hospital. While he was dying, she went to a nearby chapel and prayed a fervent prayer of gratitude for the baby, Franco, that had been given to her. Because of this prayer, Franco came back.
“She wasn’t in grief,” he said. “She was in this state of gratitude, appreciation of just having had six months with me.” In his vision, Franco saw and heard the prayer that she had. Then she had visions of his life, seeing what his life would be like if he lived, including seeing him as a good father and a god husband. A “calmness swept through and she kind of had this feeling that everything was going to be alright.” When she got back to the hospital, everyone greeted her with tears of joy and told her that a miracle had happened and his vitals had come back and he was going to survive. He saw all this as part of the vision he had in his teens, as related in an interview with Next Level Soul.
His own experience at that time was passing over to a dessert-like scene where he encountered an orb and he could feel every cell in his “body” vibrating. “50 trillion cells expressing themselves in bliss.” He experienced this as his whole self (not a six month old). “When we pass,” he explains, “there is no such thing as time and space. We’re just simply consciousness.” He experienced this as a 15 or 16 year old but the experience of watching occurred “now. There was no difference.” As with many people, he says the whole experience was like going home.
During this experience, as he remembers it later, he also had a walk-in. As he explains it, a walk-in steps into experience life and “helps plant seeds, then watch the seeds bloom” in schools throughout the multiverse. “I also started to see visions of the various lives that I had lived not just here but in other places that I would call more like my home.” Through the love act of his mother, a portal opened and so the walk-in spirit was able to enter the vessel of Franco.
Franco's work
He channels a collective called Caleb, showing him teaches that fit together as “The way of the inner child.” When you die, you’re going back into the light because you created it with your community. All of this rings true with what Jesus said and also, the Buddha, Lao Tzu, the Vedas, the Bhagavad Gita and endless other spiritual texts and spiritual experiences of others. And as Franco says, “if you follow the way nature itself works toward oneness it makes complete sense that as we are nature and nature is us, we have spiritually a desire to reunite ourselves with the greater version of what we created.” And now we are waking up.
“We’re in a massive virtual reality game that has clues throughout” that make it fun to figure this out. “This is how the school works,” says Franco. The awakening “is embedded in the books you read and in the movies you watch.” All of those things are “giving you a glimpse.” Spirit can’t “come out and tell us to our faces that this is how the game works” because then it would all be over. The point is to discover it for yourself, live it, and see the effects of living it (in faith, that is) for yourself.
Who or what is God?
Franco’s core message: we are all one and we are all God.
Knowing all this and experiencing these visions, Franco has “a really clear picture of what he’s supposed to do here.” His personal experience is a “flavour that we are so much more than what we have been taught” or what we assume is reality. When people come back, he says, they were “spiritually resequenced.” So, for himself and other NDErs, it’s not just about “what happened on the other side but it’s about what’s still coming in.” When he reminds neardeathers of that they get excited about this. This is why near death experiences are happening: so that more people can know not to be afraid of death (and subsequently of living) and that there is so much more to who we are than the superficial things we do and see every day.
He says, “Here’s what I saw. I saw an infinite number of spiritual beings. I felt oneness. Just as much as we’ve been shown that we have the spark of divinity in us, what is more of the truth is what lies beyond that: that oneness. God or Source or whatever you want to call it, has just as much of us in it as we believe we have in us. In other words, oneness was created by the individuality of all the supreme beings coming together as a community.” Together, we form that oneness. “God didn’t make us, but we made God.”
