Ben Breedlove
He asks at the end of the video, " Do you believe in Angels or God?" and simply answers, "I Do."
Near Death Experience
On December 18, 2011, Breedlove released a 2-part video on YouTube, entitled "This is my story." Using note cards, he explained about his heart condition, as well as the impact it had on his life. He also mentioned three near-death experiences."I was at school, walking in the hall. I could tell I was going to faint, so I sat on a bench. I passed out. The next thing I know, I woke up with EMS around me. I couldn't talk or move, I could only watch what they were doing. They put the shock pads on my chest. I heard one of them say 'They are ready'. And the other guy said 'Go!'. I passed out again. My heart stopped and I wasn't breathing for 3 minutes."
In
the video, Breedlove describes the first time he "cheated" death, which was
at the age of 4 when he had a life-threatening seizure. He goes on to
describe an experience he had in a hospital while being wheeled on a
stretcher, "There was this big bright light above me ... I couldn't make out
what is was because it was so bright. I told my mom, 'Look at the bright
light' and pointed up. She said she didn't see anything."On May 3, 2009, Breedlove underwent surgery to insert a pacemaker. The pacemaker helped regulate his heart beat and gave him more energy. In the video he shows a red scar on his chest, where the pacemaker had been inserted.
In the summer of 2011, Breedlove fell into his second cardiac arrest, while in the hospital for a routine tonsillectomy. He stated that, "It was a miracle that they brought me back ... I was scared to die, but am SO glad I didn't."
The third time Breedlove survived death was on December 6, 2011. While in the hall at Westlake High School, he felt that he was going to faint, so he sat down on a bench where he then passed out. The next thing he recollects is being surrounded by emergency medical services (EMS) personnel, and that he was unable to speak or move. He remembers passing out a second time after being resuscitated with a "shock pad". During this time his heart ceased pumping blood for three minutes. While unconscious, Breedlove had a feeling of comfort similar to that of his first near-death experience. He recalls being dressed up in a white suit while standing alongside his favorite rap artist, Kid Cudi, in a white room. He asks at the end of the video, " Do you believe in Angels or God?" and simply answers, "I Do."

Personal Near Death Experiences
One most extraordinary aspect of NDE's is that the underlying pattern seems unaffected by a person's culture or belief system, religion, race, education, or any other known variable, although the way in which the NDE is described varies according to the person's background and vocabulary. There is no evidence that the type of experience is related to whether the person is conventionally religious or not, or has lived a "good" or "bad" life according to his/her society's standards (although an NDE often strongly affects how life is lived after the experience).
