Canadian man Jeff Tolley had a near-death experience in 2010 that gave him a powerful vision of Earth’s future around 2035. After dying, Jeff found himself outside his body, feeling more alive and free than ever. He was shown a vivid life review and recognized how unhealed trauma and negative beliefs weighed down his physical, emotional, and mental bodies. He met spirit guides who explained that his life had a purpose chosen by his own soul and that his challenges were opportunities for spiritual growth.

Jeff saw clear evidence of reincarnation. He experienced past lives both on Earth and other planets— such as a blue, watery planet inhabited by salamander-like beings, and another with abstract, non-human forms. These glimpses affirmed that all souls are ancient, shaped by diverse experiences across time and dimensions, with each life adding to a soul’s unique “signature.” Earth, he realized, is a kind of school where souls return to grow through challenges and hardship.

Jeff also saw a vision of Earth around 2035. He saw a peaceful, clean, and balanced world with advanced technology, such as glass-like computers and futuristic vehicles. A central stone-and-wood school suggested people in the future will be more focused on spiritual growth. He believes that this transformation will come after a dark and chaotic transition, as well as a major event that may assist in healing the planet.

Jeff’s advice to others is to stop feeding fear and focus on emotional and spiritual healing to prepare for darker days, followed by a brighter, more enlightened future (Shaman Oaks; Love Covered Life Podcast)
