The Experience of Death
Presentation of Near Death Experiences with Lee Lawrence
(The Man Who Reads Souls)
Lee Lawrence died of meningitis in November 1988. His Near Death Experience (NDE) was quite different than other reported NDE’s as his conscious awareness only partially returned to his physical body, straddling the fence, perceiving multiple realities at the same time for over thirty-five years.
Suddenly he was awakened to a whole new reality, and needed to learn what he was perceiving. In this “transcended state of consciousness,” perception is direct with consciousness beyond the physical body, without utilizing bodily senses. He perceived not only the contents of his own soul and physical body, but also the souls and physical bodies of others around him. All existing in the same space. Like a walking MRI, he feels the physical sensations of others, and emotional pain attached to specific memories stored in their souls.
The journey for understanding led Lee to return to the university for a degree in psychology and extensive study in neuroscience and anatomy & physiology. At the same time, he studied the mystics of all religions, trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together. This process of awakening is still unfolding as his conscious awareness expands into new levels. Lee states “My Father’s Mansion has many rooms (levels)” - each reality, or level, is like a different frequency spectrum of perception. You tune your consciousness to that frequency and suddenly you are there. It is very humbling to realize how small we are in comparison to the vast universe of consciousness – which is the experience of Jesus when he stated after His time in the wilderness: “My Father and I are One,” or when Buddha stated: “I am One with Everything.” This experience is available to everyone."
Through this NDE, Lee’s perception of reality changed in that consciousness itself became physical to his perception. Lee states the most important ingredient is “LOVE.” Love raises you to consciousness of a higher frequency above the lower dense frequency of consciousness of other’s unresolved issues. It’s a frequency of consciousness that also dissolves obstacles to Love in one’s own soul. Lee defines “sin” as anything that creates an obstacle to Love in the soul.
Lee believes Death is not graduation; it is merely an interval between levels of learning experiences. Transcendence is graduation, where the soul increases in frequency and expands in awareness beyond the physical body. It is where you realize as well as experience that you are not your physical body, but a soul or consciousness that has a physical body. Love is the glue that holds your soul together in wholeness, a prerequisite to Transcendence.
In this presentation, Lee shares both the experience of his NDE and most importantly, what was learned in this experience, and brings the higher knowledge down to an easily understandable level. Many have shared that attending this presentation was life-changing due to the increased understanding of the purpose of life itself.
We are going to do something a little different this meeting. Instead of a speaker, we are hosting a sharing group. We believe that many of you have experiences that are spiritually transformative. Spiritually Transformative Experiences or STEs, are events that affect us in a very real and spiritual ways. We’ve all had such experiences, big ones like an NDE or an encounter experience, or even an after death communication, or small ones like lucid or prophetic dreams, a past life regression, or a hunch that comes true. There are many types of such experiences which serve are catalysts for spiritual transformation and awakening. They often bring change to our perspective of ourselves, our connection to each other, and to the Universe. This will be an opportunity to share, discuss or just listen in a caring supportive community of like minded people. Meeting starts at 6:30pm, doors open at 6pm at the North Syracuse Community Center, 700 South Bay Road. We are requesting a $10 donation to help cover rent.

The Science of the Soul
Saturday, April 13, 2024 from 9am – 12:30pm
(Cost for Morning or Afternoon Workshop is $40 each or both for $75)
UNDERSTANDING THE ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY OF THE HUMAN SOUL
Life-changing workshop will stretch your concept of reality beyond imagination.
Demonstrations & examples based on thousands of sessions for 35+ years.
By reading the human soul like an XRay, Lee explains and demonstrates the anatomy & physiology of the human soul from a scientific perspective, bridging the gap between science, psychology and spirituality/religion. Describing spirituality and religion as both logical and scientific, he shares details of human consciousness as physical including consciousness flow patterns, stored memories of experiences, past traumas, personality development, thought processing functions including memory storage and retrieval, perceptual programming events. Lee’s explanation on the way one’s memories and accompanying emotions are stored, processed and retrieved are revolutionary, yet simple to understand. This presentation’s goal is not to sell anyone on a particular spiritual path, but provide understanding and tools for each individual to use on their own path.

Understanding Love beyond Mars & Venus Workshop with Lee Lawrence (The Man Who Reads Souls) “Why am I in this relationship?” “What’s missing in my life?”
“Why can’t I find the right relationship?”
In this workshop Lee Lawrence demonstrates and explains unconscious motivation and what creates the “chemistry of love.” Learn how energy psychology techniques locate the perceptual programming events in our lives, that can shackle us into bad relationships or motivate us to sabotage good relationships.
Topics include: Understanding relationship dynamics, soul mates, the chemistry of love, types of love, and the laws of attraction. This presentation will add a new understanding and perspective of relationships that will provide insight for individuals to grow into more intimate, deeper, fulfilling relationships with self and others. Learn the Development Stages of Love encountered in growing toward “Soul Wholeness”
In this program you will learn:
- The First Law of Attraction and the Second Law of Attraction and how they create the “Chemistry” feeling everyone searches for in a relationship.
- To understand why people tend to be attracted toward the same type of partner, and end up repeating past unhealthy patterns.
- About the obstacles to intimacy and why our “projections” on our partners are often more important than the reality of the present situation.
- How to utilize the difficult emotional experiences in current and past relationships to heal rather than retreating and repeating.
- Why you will never find your happiness in your partner; you can only find happiness in yourself and share it with your partner if you desire real happiness. You are your own Soul Mate.
- Why the ideal relationship is composed of two individuals, sharing a common journey through life, growing together but yet maintaining an individual identity, doing things for each other out of love and compassion and not fear of retribution or abandonment.
- Life is about finding and removing the obstacles to “Love” that exist within us.
