In Part 13 of The Journey Beyond Death, and the third installment of our eight-part series on Near Death Experiences, we explore extraordinary stories of transformation, survival, and awakening. Dr. Tony Cicoria recounts the life-altering moment he was struck by lightning — a physical and spiritual jolt that opened the floodgates to a stunning musical gift. His account blurs the line between the tangible and the ethereal, inviting us to ponder the unseen forces that guide our lives.
We honor the late Dr. Stephen Sinatra, a true pioneer in holistic medicine whose legacy of compassion and innovation continues to inspire. Alongside him, NDE survivor Tommy Rosa shares revelations from his own brush with death, offering profound insights into healing, the unity of all souls, and the divine design behind human existence. Their combined wisdom fuses science and spirituality into a tapestry of hope and possibility.
Erica McKenzie’s powerful testimony shines a light on the dangers of medication misuse and the enduring strength of the human spirit. Her near-death experience reveals a world beyond pain — a place of divine purpose, healing, and unconditional love. Through Erica’s eyes, we are reminded that our true value lies not in how we appear to others, but in the light we carry within.

NDE Survivor: Dr. Anthony Cicoria
In 1994, Dr. Anthony Cicoria was struck by lightning and nearly lost his life. During this harrowing moment, he had an out-of-body experience, watching from above as his own body lay motionless on the floor. Following his near-death experience, Dr. Cicoria began receiving what he describes as “downloads” — powerful streams of original music compositions for the piano. His life was forever changed, and he emerged with a profound sense of purpose, translating his spiritual encounter into music that touches the soul.
NDE Survivor: Tommy Rosa & Dr. Stephen Sinatra (In Loving Memory)
In 1999, Bronx-born plumber Tommy Rosa died after a devastating hit-and-run accident. As he lay by the roadside, he felt a powerful tug pulling him through a tunnel of light. On the other side, Tommy found himself in a heavenly place, where he was shown that Earth was created by God to nourish and heal humanity — and that the separation we feel from each other and from the Divine is an illusion of our own making. He met a Divine Teacher who shared Eight Revelations about the nature of life and the universe.
Meanwhile, Dr. Stephen Sinatra — a world-renowned cardiologist and pioneering voice in integrative medicine — was transforming his clinical approach, blending science with spirituality. When fate brought Tommy and Dr. Sinatra together, they realized the powerful synchronicities between Tommy’s revelations and Dr. Sinatra’s groundbreaking medical discoveries. Their collaboration led to one of the most inspired unions of science and spirit.
Dr. Stephen Sinatra has since passed from this world, but his wisdom, compassion, and revolutionary contributions to healing continue to uplift countless lives. His legacy endures through his writings, his patients, and all who seek true, heart-centered healing.

NDE Survivor: Erica McKenzie
In 2002, at the age of 31, Erica McKenzie had a profound near-death experience. After enduring years of ridicule about her appearance as a child, Erica struggled with bulimia and diet pill addiction, ultimately collapsing and falling unconscious. Her spirit left her body and hovered near the ceiling, watching paramedics try to save her. She then traveled through a tunnel of radiant light, met God, and experienced two life reviews. During this journey, she was shown that each soul carries unique gifts and divine purposes — lessons she now shares through her transformational work and teachings.

David’s journey includes three extraordinary transformative experiences: In 1983, while serving as Chief Engineer aboard the ocean research vessel Aloha, he drowned and had a powerful Near-Death Experience. A second transformation occurred in 1994 during a deep meditation in Sedona, Arizona. His third awakening came in 2000 when he survived stage IV lung cancer that metastasized into his spine, causing its collapse. Each experience deepened his wisdom and his commitment to help others awaken their highest potential.
