Woman who died for two minutes reveals she passed to 'the other side' and met two blue-skinned beings

Daily Mail​2 days ago
A woman who was officially pronounced dead for two minutes before coming back to life has revealed the surprising sensations she endured during those 120 seconds.
Nicole Meeuws's heart stopped after she suffered from a series of serious complications while giving birth.
She recalled being 'pulled' from her body and entering a tunnel of light while her physical form was laying lifeless on a hospital bed.
She said both time and fear didn't exist after passing over to 'the other side.'
She explained to NeedToKnow recently: 'I found myself passing through a tunnel of blue and white light, not a beam, but a corridor that felt alive.
'It didn't feel frightening. It felt like I was being called home. The light had a temperature, a tone, almost like music made of water.'
After passing through the 'light,' she said she came to an 'immense glowing space.'
She added: 'The colors were not of this world, they were luminous tones of silver, soft violets, deep radiant blues – and they didn't strain the eyes.
'The chamber was vast, larger than any earthly structure, and everything pulsed gently like a heartbeat. And then I saw them.'
Nicole recalled being greeted by blue-skinned beings with human faces, similar to the creatures in the film Avatar.
While she didn't understand their language, she said they made her feel at home and gave her the message telepathically that life is actually an illusion - and we only start living when we die.
'Two towering beings seated on marble-like thrones, shimmering with energy.
'Their eyes were large and indigo, filled with kindness and recognition. They looked human, but had gentle gills on their cheeks.
'I remember seeing their fish-like tails, rather than legs, covered in scales. They were both male and female intertwined and didn't speak in words – but I understood everything they had to tell me.'
Nicole, from Greece, who ultimately lost her child during birth, said they told her that she was never meant to have children and that her gift, instead, was to teach people about 'the other side.'
After what felt like a lifetime, but was actually only a few minutes, she was 'zapped' back into her physical body.
'I felt more known than I had ever felt in my life; I didn't want to leave.
'I understood this place, this feeling, and I truly believe it was the original home from which we all come from.
'I learned that death is not an end, it's a return to our actual lives.'
Afterwards, her husband, Christos, 65, a specialized doctor, tried to speak to her, but she could only reply in a high-pitched tone and an 'unfamiliar' language that she had never learned.
She said: 'It sounded like dolphin clicks. It continued for minutes, which left everyone around us stunned.
'But I couldn't stop it - it was coming through me, not from me. My senses were heightened and I could hear emotion in people's voices as color. I returned completely different; almost reborn.'
Nicole, who hasn't had any near-death experiences since, said she often has visions of the blue beings who greeted her on the other side.
She believes they are from the Apkallu interdimensional tribe, which are non-alien creatures - otherwise referred to as Demigods - that are said to have given civilization to mankind.
Now, her mission is to spread the message that 'love is stronger than death.'
She concluded: 'Love will always win; it's where we came from. We're all one big family, regardless of boundaries, cultures, religion and politics.
'Everything that exists came from the same spark. The more we hold onto fear, hate and lies, the easier it is to control humanity.
'To create heaven on Earth, we must spend each day spreading love. I'm no longer afraid of death because I know what's waiting for me on the other side.
'It was a beginning, not an end.'

China warns comedians against stirring up gender discord ‘for the sake of being funny'

Chinese authorities warned comedians against stirring up gender discord in the Asian country after a video of a performer talking about her marriage went viral. In a notice issued over the weekend, the Zhejiang provincial publicity department criticised comedy shows for becoming a "battlefield" and simplifying gender issues into opposition between men and women. The authorities called out The King of Stand-up Comedy show on streaming platform iQiyi but did not name any comedian. The caution came after a number of recent performances by women comedians related to gender bias gained popularity in the country. Women's rights in China remain a contentious issue, with the government accused of systematically dismantling almost all expressions of independent feminist activism over the past decade, including the MeToo movement. 'Criticism is fine,' the notice on WeChat said but stressed that it should be 'constructive rather than revolve around gender opposition for the sake of being funny'. It suggested that instead of "mocking 'blindly confident men'', comedy was much better used exploring the social causes for this mentality. "Instead of blindly ridiculing 'materialistic women', it is better to reflect on how consumerism shapes gender roles," it added. "We sincerely hope that the rising stand-up comedy scene can become more rational and profound, with less division and more understanding." The King of Stand-up Comedy featured a performance earlier this month by 50-year-old comedian Fan Chunli, popularly known by her stage name Fangzhuren, that revolved around her marriage and why she had left her husband. Members of the audience were moved to tears and clips from the show went viral on Chinese social media. The Zhejiang warning was criticised on social media for being overly sensitive when "something is discussed from a female perspective". "Simply stating the facts now counts as inciting conflict between men and women?' a commentator on Weibo asked.

Fire cults and burning banshees: has Avatar: Fire and Ash sent Pandora all the way to hell?

Say what you like about James Cameron, but the man has somehow made three films, umpteen extraterrestrial biomes, and one endlessly grieving smurf wolf pack out of the phrase 'don't touch that tree'. Now, the veteran sci-fi film-maker returns with Avatar: Fire and Ash, the third instalment in cinema's shiniest blue 3D eco fable. And from a preview of the trailer (to be released before showings of The Fantastic Four: First Steps this weekend) this is going to be yet another jaw-dropping, box-office smashing triumph of elemental, stereoscopic worldbuilding – or possibly a very long and very heavy bioluminescent deforestation story, depending on your point of view. Where The Way of Water took us out to sea to commune with whales who cry in subtitles, Fire and Ash drags us into the scorched heart of Pandora's volcanic badlands. Here we meet the Ash People – an angry, soot-streaked Na'vi clan who appear to have spent the last two films building up a healthy mistrust of outsiders. Imagine running into the scariest-looking Great Plains warriors Hollywood ever dreamed up, then dipping them in tar and relocating them to Mordor. They ride screaming banshees through smoke clouds, and if the trailer is anything to go by, they've had just about enough of Sam Worthington's Jake Sully, his adoptive family and the entire colonial project of humanity in general. Which is why it's a little strange to see Stephen Lang's Colonel Miles Quaritch, or at least the reborn recombinant that carries the returning villain's memories, apparently sporting the same scarlet war paint as these newcomers to the franchise. Have the Ash People been conned by humanity into fighting their Na'vi brethren, or are they just the latest poor fools to fall victim to humankind's time-honoured tradition of co-opting Indigenous resistance to fight its proxy wars? Either way, this is a first glimpse of Fire and Ash that in terms of sheer scale, spectacle and blue-on-blue action looks likely to match anything the series has so far delivered. Oona Chaplin's Varang, leader of the new clan, tells a terrified Kiri (the Na'vi born from the dormant Avatar left behind by Sigourney Weaver's late Grace Augustine) that her goddess 'has no dominion here', which must be a pretty scary thing to hear when you've spent your entire life communing with Eywa-infused floating jellyfish. The Sullys appear to be caught up in their own family conflict, and at one point Sully basically tells Zoe Saldaña's Neytiri to stop trying to solve all their life problems with arrows and screaming. It is all incredibly intense and unapologetically Cameron. Yet there's a nagging feeling that if everyone on Pandora would just put aside their problems and try to get along, the extrasolar moon is such a gorgeous vision of eco-spiritual luxury real estate (if you'll forgive the Trumpian gaze) that they could probably all do quite well financially from low-impact glow-in-the-dark wellness tourism. Surely this is the sort of place that Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk are really trying to get to with all those expensive, celebrity-strewn missions to the 'edge of space'. Or perhaps that's just where Cameron is planning to take us with the next episode – a scorching allegory for climate guilt, where hordes of spiritually curious billionaires arrive at Eywa's doorstep in 3D-printed linen and wide-brimmed hats, demanding personalised banshee rides and artisan root-based cleansing rituals. It will be the final defeat of the Na'vi – not by war, but by a full season of White Lotus: Pandora, starring Amy Adams as a well-meaning but culturally disastrous grief yogi who accidentally destroys the Tree of Souls with her Tesla-branded personal eco-hoverpod. In the meantime, Avatar: Fire and Ash. If you liked the last two movies, this one will most likely boil your eyeballs and your conscience in roughly equal measure. If you thought the whole thing was a load of weepy, whale-whispering space guff, you'll probably spend three hours wondering why the trees are crying again.

Black Sabbath star's heartbreaking tribute to Ozzy Osbourne and youth photo as he asks ‘where will I find you now?'

BLACK Sabbath star Bill Ward has shared a heartbreaking tribute to Ozzy Osbourne and a photo from their youth. Ozzy's heartbroken family announced he had passed away aged 76 on Tuesday morning "surrounded by love". Asking, "Where will I find you now?" his bandmate took to X, formerly Twitter, with a heartfelt post. Follow our live blog here... Drummer Bill uploaded an image taken inside a photobooth during Black Sabbath 's heyday, writing: Where will I find you now? In the memories, our unspoken embraces, our missed phone calls, no, you're forever in my heart. "Deepest condolences to Sharon and all family members. RIP Sincere regrets to all the fans. Never goodbye. Thank you forever." The icon's death comes just weeks after he took to the stage one final time with the band at Villa Park in Birmingham. Inspiring images showed the star grinning with enthusiasm during his emotional final gig. More on Ozzy Osbourne... Ozzy - dubbed the Prince of Darkness who defined heavy metal - has left millions of fans mourning his devastating passing. The Black Sabbath frontman, 76, took to the stage for the last time earlier this month, belting out a blistering five-song set alongside bandmates Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward. Billed as 'the greatest heavy metal show ever,' Ozzy beamed as thousands chanted his name - then watched proudly as his daughter Kelly's boyfriend, Slipknot star Sid Wilson, proposed to her. The rocker had vowed it would be his final gig - after years of hard living and a heartbreaking Parkinson's battle he revealed in 2020. And his last ever post on Instagram was a picture of a poster celebrating his last ever show - with a photo of him alongside his three bandmates. It read: "Ozzy Osbourne. Back to the Beginning." Ozzy's outrageous career ranged from biting the head off a bat mid-show to shocking record execs by snapping a dove's neck in a meeting. He also snorted a line of ants while on tour with the notorious Mötley Crüe band in the '80s. And he even made eyebrow-raising headlines off-stage - on one occasion he urinated on a US war memorial while wearing one of Sharon's dresses. Loved for his madcap antics, raw voice and larger-than-life persona, the Brummie icon leaves behind a heavy metal legacy that will never be forgotten. The full statement from his family read: "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. "He was with his family and surrounded by love. "We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. "Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis." Black Sabbath also posted a heartwarming post on X in tribute to the late rock pioneer. The post said: "Ozzy Forever!" Further tributes have already poured in for the legend following his family's announcement on Tuesday evening. David Coverdale, founder and lead singer of rock band Whitesnake - and rumoured to once be considered for the role of Black Sabbath frontman - shared a message on X. "My Sincere Condolences To Sharon, The Family, Friends & Fans," he wrote. 11 11 Although Ozzy's wild behaviour would have been enough to see some artists blacklisted, the star became a loveable rogue who captured fans' hearts across the globe. In 2001, Ozzy appealed to a whole new audience after appearing in reality TV show The Osbournes with his family. Its first series was the most-watched show ever on MTV and propelled Jack and Kelly into stardom, with the latter enjoying a music career of her own. Matriarch Sharon also carved out a successful showbiz career for herself - first as an X Factor judge, then host of her own show in the US. With the family's success growing, they hosted the 30th Annual American Music Awards and later the BRIT Awards in London. The hugely popular show ran until 2005 and portrayed heartbreaking moments for the family - including Sharon's battle with cancer and the quad bike accident that nearly killed Ozzy. The family later starred in the reality series The Osbournes Want to Believe and special The Osbournes: Night of Terror, which both focused on paranormal investigations. Ozzy Osbourne's iconic career The singer then pursued his love of music after hearing The Beatles hit She Loves You in 1963, aged 15. After appearing in a handful of school plays, Ozzy joined Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler in their first group Rare Breed in 1967. When that band split, the pair reunited in Polka Tulk Blues alongside Tony Iommi and drummer Bill Ward. The group later became known as Black Sabbath and went onto shatter the music world with their whining guitar solos, Occult-based lyrics and Ozzy's screeching vocals. In 1970, the group gained a cult following in both the US and UK after releasing their eponymous first album. Black Sabbath saw incredible success with hit tracks such as Paranoid but discord in the group saw most of the original line-up leave. Ozzy himself quit the band in 1978, with a spiral into drug abuse leading to a divorce from first wife Thelma Mayfair, who he had two children with. It was then he first met a young Sharon Arden, who Ozzy at first wrote off as he believed she would think he was a "lunatic". But the singer could not be more wrong and the pair married in Hawaii in July 1982 before going on to have three children together, Aimee, Kelly and Jack. With Sharon's encouragement and help from her music manager dad Don, he began to carve out a successful solo career. His seminal first album Blizzard of Ozz in 1980 became a multi-platinum success thanks to Ozzy's howling vocals and macabre laugh on hit Crazy Train. Coupled with the Prince of Darkness' insane tour that saw him bite the head off a live bat, a string of successful tracks followed - cementing Ozzy as a rock legend around the world. In 1992, the singer announced his retirement but four years later created the beloved annual music festival Ozzfest with Sharon, which featured heavy metal acts touring the US and some of Europe. Ozzy returned to Black Sabbath in 1999, with the band winning a Grammy for best metal performance for the song Iron Man. They later earned the same award in 2013 after releasing single God Is Dead? from album 13. Born John Michael Osbourne in Birmingham in 1948, the star had a string of jobs including labourer, plumber and abattoir worker after dropping out of school aged 15. He was raised by his parents Lilian and John, with three older sisters and two younger brothers, in a humble two-bed house. The youngster struggled in education with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, ADHD, and dyslexia. And Ozzy became entangled with petty crime and served two months in prison for burglary. It was during his stint behind bars he gave himself his first tattoo, his iconic OZZY on the knuckles of his left hand. The singer then pursued his love of music after hearing The Beatles hit She Loves You in 1963. After appearing in a handful of school plays, Ozzy joined bassist Geezer Butler in their first group Rare Breed in 1967 at the age of 19. When that band split, the pair reunited in Polka Tulk Blues alongside Tony Iommi and drummer Bill Ward. They renamed the group, originally called Earth, as Black Sabbath. The band took on satanic and occult themes, which were enough to see them condemned by future pope Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger. 11 11 Some of Black Sabbath's most iconic hits featured on their second album Paranoid. Fans hailed the heavy metal artists for their classics including Iron Man and War Pigs. The skyrocketed to international fame with five consecutive platinum selling albums within three years. But Ozzy himself quit the band in 1978, with a spiral into drug abuse leading to a divorce from first wife Thelma Mayfair, who he had two children with. However by the 1980s, Black Sabbath signed Don Arden as their manager. This led Ozzy to meet his future wife Sharon - Arden's daughter. The pair eventually tied the knot on July 4, 1982 - a date set by Ozzy so he would never forget their anniversary. Although it wasn't always smooth sailing - Ozzy originally fobbed Sharon off because he believed she would think he was a "lunatic". But the singer could not be more wrong and the couple went on to have three children together, Aimee, Kelly and Jack. With Sharon's encouragement and help from her music manager dad Don, he began to carve out a successful solo career. 11 Ozzy later opened up about his first wife Thelma, to whom he was married for 11 years and welcomed two children with - Jessica and Louis. The rocker also adopted Thelma's son Elliot. He admitted the union had failed because of his career and drug use, calling himself "a complete idiot" for being "abusive" to her. Ozzy's seminal first album Blizzard of Ozz in 1980 became a multi-platinum success thanks to Ozzy's howling vocals and macabre laugh on hit Crazy Train. However, in 1989 Ozzy's hardcore partying lifestyle took a sinister turn when he tried to strangle Sharon. Although the couple have famously spoken about how they both gave as good as they got, the incident saw Ozzy seek help for his drug use. She agreed not to press charges if he went to rehab - a decision that allowed the icon to continue performing. In 1992, the singer announced his retirement but four years later created the beloved annual music festival Ozzfest with Sharon, which featured heavy metal acts touring the US and some of Europe. Ozzy returned to Black Sabbath in 1999, with the band winning a Grammy for best metal performance for the song Iron Man.
