Raymond Martinez’s third and final near death experience is the most difficult story he has ever told. During a medical emergency made worse by violence, Raymond says he lost consciousness under a streetlight and crossed into the spiritual realm once again. What followed was not a single moment, but a series of powerful revelations he believes he was shown so he could return and speak the message clearly.

Raymond describes entering darkness, then peace, then standing in the presence of God, who showed him how the spiritual world sees humanity. He was shown people not as bodies, but as spirits, some carrying a flame within them and others without. He was shown angels, demonic forces, and the unseen spiritual struggle surrounding everyday life.

He was also shown events he believes are warnings about the future, the importance of spiritual awareness, forgiveness, and choosing compassion over violence. In the midst of unimaginable pain, Raymond says forgiveness was the final act that allowed him to return to his body and survive.

This episode is intense, emotional, and deeply faith centered. Raymond shares his story not to frighten, but to urge understanding, empathy, and the urgency of listening, helping, and loving one another while there is still time.

Two years after his first near death experience, Raymond Martinez faced another life threatening medical crisis. This time, his blood sugar dropped so low that his body began shutting down while he lay conscious but unable to move. What followed was not peace, but a warning he says he was never meant to forget.

Raymond describes being shown a dark, cold realm filled with suffering, torment, and despair. He witnessed souls bound to the very struggles they carried in life and heard voices filled with regret and anguish. He was warned not to cross a line that would mean staying there forever. Just before that moment, he was pulled back and surrounded by angels, light, and the sound of singing.

In this intense and deeply personal episode of There and Back Again – Stories of the Other Side, Raymond shares why he believes he was shown this place, what it taught him about choice and faith, and why he feels called to speak openly about it. His message is not meant to frighten, but to urge compassion, awareness, and the importance of reaching out before it is too late.

At twenty eight years old, Raymond Martinez was overwhelmed by illness, divorce, custody battles, and a new diagnosis of type one diabetes he did not yet fully understand. When his blood sugar spiraled out of control, Raymond entered diabetic ketoacidosis and his body began shutting down. He does not remember arriving at the hospital or being taken to the ICU. What he remembers is waking up somewhere else entirely.

Raymond describes walking through a hospital hallway, seeing his own body through a glass window, and realizing with certainty that he had died. Surrounded by indescribable peace, vibrant colors, and the unmistakable presence of God, he was shown both darkness and light. He witnessed a garden filled with living trees, animals, water, and golden gates, where everything radiated life and meaning. In that place, he saw two small girls holding hands who he later understood were his daughters.

Then came the moment of choice. Raymond heard God’s voice clearly and was told that one direction meant never returning, while the other meant life, help, and purpose. With faith no larger than a mustard seed, Raymond chose the path that brought him back.

In this deeply moving first part of Raymond’s story, he shares how dying removed his fear, strengthened his faith, and reshaped how he understands God, suffering, and the purpose of life. His message is simple and powerful. You are chosen. You are loved. And it is never too late to turn toward the light.
