Alex Hill had a near-death experience at the age of 27, which was a culmination of stress and confusion from working in a fast-paced environment and not listening to his inner voice. His heart stopped for two minutes while working out with his personal trainer in the Equinox Gym in Manhattan. He saw his spirit leave his body and had to choose between ascending to the heavenly realms or getting back into his body and changing his way of life. This experience awakened him to spirituality firsthand, which he had never experienced before even after experimenting with substances at parties. --- TIMESTAMPS: Near-Death Experience: "My spirit came out of my body and I was looking down at a dead corpse." — Alex Hill [00:00:37 → 00:02:33] Near Death Experiences: "White light at the end of the tunnel is what's described in most near death experiences, and then either Buddha or Jesus, depending if the person is in a Christian country or Asian country.
