What if your breakdown is actually the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for?

In the ICUs where I was practicing intensive hospital medicine, I got the privilege of being around human beings at the end of life.
At the end of a life, we’ve termed it “death.” We have the belief in our subconscious because of our big divorce from the death process. It has become sterilized. And it has allowed death to be defined as an end point. As a contraction or a disappearance rather than what I’ve actually seen it to be – a massive expansion of consciousness, of reality, or awareness and ultimately of love.
And the most poignant examples of this are people who die biologically and we spend 15 or 30 minutes in ICU resuscitating them with drugs and shocking their chests like you see on TV shows.
And they’ve meanwhile been in the ICU for weeks and months in some cases before they have this moment. And by this time, they have been isolated away from humans for quite some time. They are only touched by latex gloved hands. Only people with gowns on will come and see them. They have masks on. They haven’t seen a human face close up in months. They are just so isolated and lonely.
And I had one ICU shift that was very weird. And during that night, I see three people die and I bring them all back. And every single one of them, their first sentence was always “Why did you bring me back?” And then as they start to get oriented they are telling their loved ones, “I went into this space and there was bright white light everywhere and in that moment, I felt completely accepted for the first time in my life.”
Death is not an end point. It is a transformation moment. It’s an expansion beyond the limits of this frail biologic shell that we carry around. And the instant that we step out of that, we find out that the Universe embraces us in every single second of our existence in complete acceptance of who we are. We are enough in and of our own identity of I am at every second of every point of our existence.
When you back up for a moment and say, “ok we are killing ourselves.” But what if we need a death moment to transform completely? To let go of all the preconceived notions of what it is to be human. And to say you know what, we are beings of light. And we are completely accepted at every moment including this moment when we would rape the earth, we would kill each other at the rate we do, when we would destroy the entire ecosystem of a green planet in the middle of black space, when we had that level of hubris, we are still completely accepted. And our journey is somehow understood by something more benevolent and more complete than we can see as human beings.
What if we all looked at each other in wonder and awe and said “you’re enough. I accept you completely. I want to be with you. I want to live with you. I want to be alive.”
And so we are here. 7 billion of us showed up right now. And yet 7 billion of those white souls that seconds after death are gonna realize that they are who they’ve always been. They are fully accepted. And they are moving in true love.
What if we can transform before we die? Then there is no reason to go to Mars. There is no reason to go anywhere else. Because we will do absolutely every single thing differently here on Earth. And we are going to do it differently by just that simple recognition of I am who I am. You are who you are. That’s enough and I accept you completely. And let’s figure out how to do this within the design of nature.
There’s enough energy. There’s enough food. There’s enough resources for everybody on the planet to thrive at a level that has never been experienced in human history.
We cannot continue any form of human economic systems that have ever existed before and expect us to escape the death moment. We literally have to reinvent everything. It is you that is being called to transform because you showed up right when you did. Because we are going to transform, period. And it may be right after the point of our death. Or miraculously, it might just happen right before it.

“Thank you for this. I had an NDE just before my 16th birthday. As I woke in the hospital bed, I was upset that I was back in the dream I was just waking from- and as I held onto this feeling that I was more than the person in the bed, I forgot my name and my entire life before that point. For some months afterwards, I was seeing the world and people through “woken” eyes. This isn’t a story I retell because nobody understands it, and that’s ok. I don’t blog about it or write about it, but it’s a very important truth to existence. This isn’t faith; it’s knowledge. Again, thank you.”
“I love this video. I am a stage IV cancer survivor and have thought a lot about death and what comes after. This “What if” is a wonderful one. And could quite possibly be true. Thank you!”
“Dr Zach bush, this is awesome… totally resonates with me. ”
“I experienced this complete acceptance in a dream. Since then I’m a social activist. What led up to that dream? The willingness to live fully (not as in escape into thrills and action) and asking myself big questions and wonder about them, including having people think I was crazy for asking these questions. Too many of us just adapt to how they think society works, and then get caught in living a lie. This also explains imposters syndrome better. Too many people pretend their whole life to fit in, because they don’t dare to be who they truly are. Start becoming honest to yourself and others and doors you didn’t knew may start to open. And while some may push you out, you’ll find many who will get attracted to you, because they too, live life in truth, with meaning, acceptance and playfulness.”
“This video is breathtaking. Absolutely incredible. This Video eases one of the biggest fears human kind experiences, death. Incredible, thank you”
“I’ve been following your work for quite awhile. It’s amazing and so inspiring. You are such a blessing . Loved this too and sharing it. ”
“Thank you very much. This is a very thought provoking video. This needs to be broadcast far and wide for many reasons. We truly are blessed. Again, I thank you. Be well and stay safe.”
“We were put here by choice. It was our decision to experience this life. We are a species that has no prior knowledge of where we came from, but some of us begin to wake up in this life. Some of us find that true happiness is found with embracing love. Love is the answer, and it is all we will ever need. Once we die we will brought back from where we came. But until then our goal, our journey is to learn to and share love.”
“Wow, Zach expresses this in the BEST way I’ve ever heard ( & I’ve heard hundreds of ‘raves’)… thank you doesn’t seem to show my gratitude enuf !”
“I sense so much ‘anger’ when he describes the death process… as if being here were a ‘bad thing’. When people who come back from death say “I went to a place were I felt I was completely accepted”, they are talking about ‘their perception, their feeling’, not a reality. Their health problem has made them feel so vulnerable that they finally ‘surrender’ (let go the ego) – and that’s why they feel that enormous ‘peace’ when they leave the body. This means, we can have the exact same attitude here on Earth. We can feel and perceive ourselves being completely accepted. Having this attitude is going to heal us and the rest of us. So, it is a matter of attitude, thinking, and emotions… Go for it!”
