Greg, the creator behind the Uprising 144K channel and a former medical field worker of more than 20 years, shares his near-death experience (NDE) in full detail. It starts on a giant rock beside a loud canyon river, where his heartbeat kept skipping and stopping, and it leads through a dark corridor, a being of light he now believes was the Holy Spirit, a trip through stars he calls doors, a council that told him they'd been waiting for him, and a meeting with God that he describes as a cosmic river. Greg explains how he ended up in two places at once, lying on the rock and standing in heaven, and what happened when his highly religious brother came over to check on him and heard God's voice. From there the conversation moves to the research Greg says followed: what he says is in our drinking water, why he uses carbon distillation, the molecular hydrogen work that earned him the name hydrogen man, and the Essene Gospel of Peace, a book he says describes his experience almost exactly. Greg also finally gets an answer to a question he carried since his childhood prayers, "Where were you?", and shares where to find his protocols and videos. In This Episode • Rye opens by asking Greg to walk through his near-death experience. Greg explains it didn't start with the NDE itself. At 18 he had an overdose that was meant to end his life, and the ER doctor called it an absolute miracle that he survived. It left him with severe heart damage, and a cardiologist later told him his heart was weakened and he likely didn't have a ton of time. In the ER that night, Greg says he saw beings of light standing beside him, speaking in one voice and repeating "you'll never do it again." He didn't believe them then, and at almost 50 he says they turned out to be right. • Years later, on a trip to a canyon with a few people, Greg wandered off alone and ended up lying on a giant rock beside a river so loud he couldn't have heard anyone yelling at him. He lay there for almost four hours, getting so quiet in his mind that he could hear his own heartbeat. Because of his heart condition, it skipped, paused and sometimes flatlined, and each time it stopped, Greg says he felt himself drifting somewhere deeper. He let it happen. • The dark corridor from his earlier overdose opened again. Greg compares it to walking through the valley of the shadow of death. There was no light ahead, only a pull like drifting down a river, and a presence that wanted him afraid. Greg says it knew everything about him, every fear and which strings to pull. It started with distractions and temptations, then escalated to his worst fears, bugs crawling over his body and into his nose and ears. Greg says the other side runs on emotion, so he stayed calm, let it all happen, and watched his body decompose into the earth before everything went black for ten or twenty seconds. • Then came a burst of white light and a being Greg describes as female, though he says there's no sex on the other side. He now believes it was the Holy Spirit. He felt everything she felt, he says, and everything inside him was exposed, like being naked in his emotions. The first thing he blurted out was "I want to be like you." She answered, "You are me and I am you." Greg argued, calling himself trash and her perfect, but says she didn't need to respond. She held him like a cosmic mother, and he says he felt a healing he'd never known. A Bible scholar friend later pointed out that scripture refers to the Holy Spirit in female terms, which Greg ties to the white dove at Jesus's baptism. • As she led him out into the heavens, Greg felt a tether at his belly button, tied to his body and to every attachment in his life. He says it looked like a spiral, like DNA or a rope, and that love and fear were bound together in it. A choice came over him: go back or go with her. His emotions said go back to the people he loved, but a flash of logic reminded him he'd wanted out for a long time. He says deciding to let go felt like jumping off a cliff, and that he thinks this is the point where people can be tricked through love. Rye connects this to Colossians 3, which he'd read at a men's Bible study the night before. • Once he let go, Greg says the being took him to a star, and the stars turned out to be doorways. They traveled at what he calls borderline violent speed, hopping from star to star while he merged with her at each turn. He ties this to a Psalms verse about the sun as a bridal chamber, which his Bible scholar friend had never noticed before. Years later Greg found the Essene Gospel of Peace, a book said to be translated from ancient writings by a Vatican archives translator, and says it describes stars as vaults that need the spirit to open them, matching what he saw. He admits plenty of people criticize the book and says he's a skeptic himself, but that nothing else he's found described his experience so accurately. • The journey ended at a gathering of beings that felt like a council, and oddly, like a dinner. They spoke in one voice and the first thing they said was "We've been waiting for you." Information about his life came flooding in, including who he was before he was conceived and the promises he made before birth. They showed him the womb, where he felt warmth, no hunger, no pain and a peace he'd forgotten. Greg explains why we don't remember it, because the body and brain aren't developed yet, and shares his own opinion that the spirit enters at the first breath. Peace is now his favorite emotion, and he believes the entity in the dark corridor was trying to rob him of it because fear is how you get controlled. • The council made sounds that blended in the center of their circle and opened what Greg could only call a door. The beings told him it was being opened for him, and he walked through to meet God. Greg describes a being too large for an ocean to compare to, moving like a river and like wind, with the energy of the law is the law, and a voice like the sound of many waters. He believes the beginning was sound more than word. He walked into God like a baptism, leaned back, and says information poured through him, every bit of it an answer. God told him, "There are no questions here, only answers," and Greg lay there for an hour or more. • This is the moment Greg is in two places at once. He started to open his eyes and slipped back into his body on the rock while still being in heaven, which felt like having two minds. The one on Earth was completely still, and he says he opened what he calls the eyes of light. He saw God as the light in everything alive, the canyon, the rocks, the trees, and realized heaven is right here. He came away convinced the human body is a temple that should be respected, and that his lifelong sadness came from feeling disconnected from God, not from a lack of money, cars or success. • Greg got to ask the question he'd carried since he was a kid who prayed constantly and never got help: "Where were you?" He admits he was angry and thought God had better have a good answer. God showed him a vision of watching him pray as a child and told him, "I couldn't interfere, for if I had, you would have never found me." Greg says the pain of not having God created the burning desire and gravity that pulled him back, and compares it to the prodigal son. He never questioned God again. • Greg's brother, who is highly religious, had been watching from far away and came over because Greg had been lying still for so long. Greg could hear God's voice and his brother couldn't. As his brother stood to leave, Greg's hand grabbed his wrist with what felt like infinite strength, the sound got louder, and his brother's vision went completely dark in full daylight. His brother tried to run and was told there was no place to run. Greg told him not to be afraid, and when he spoke, his brother's sight came back. Greg tilted his head back, the sound came out of him, and his brother realized it was coming from inside him. • Greg explains that he named his channel Uprising 144K after the 144,000 beings of light in the Bible, and that he has spent over a decade sharing what he learned, largely about health. After more than 20 years in the medical field, he says his own heart condition was confirmed healed by his cardiologist without surgery. Greg stresses he isn't making medical claims and that he only shares what he personally uses. Everything starts, he says, with clean water. • Greg shows a third-party lab report where forever chemicals (PFAS) read zero after carbon distillation, and says he learned the method by watching how creation cleans water: the sun lifts it, it leaves impurities behind, and it comes back as rain or snow. He says some water filter companies have faced lawsuits and some filters can make water worse, and mentions mypurewater.com with the code uprising144k. He then moves to molecular hydrogen, saying the Japanese found it in the waters of Lourdes, that more than 2,000 studies exist, and that he calls it the source of life. He covers Masaru Emoto's water memory work, a Japanese father who built a hydrogen device for his seriously ill daughter with help from companies like Toyota and Yamaha, and why oxygen oxidizes while hydrogen acts as a tiny antioxidant that can reach the mitochondria.
