— One of the most valuable lessons Rob Gentile learned from his near-death experience is that; real beauty comes from the inside. It was his daughter Maria who taught him this when Rob saw her in the Ethereal. Here in the temporal realm, she is unable to walk, talk or feed herself — she has special needs. But in the spiritual realm she is perfect and whole.
It’s through children like Maria with special needs that we can hear God whispering, “Look at me, I’m right here.” They have no ulterior motives, they are pure, innocent vessels that God speaks through. We are spiritual beings living inside fragile clay vessels we call bodies. When we focus on the real beauty within, we become less judgmental and more accepting of others.
Valeria Teles interviews Rob A. Gentile — the author of “Quarks of Light: A Near-Death Experience.”
Rob is the son of Italian immigrants. His father worked in a steel-mill, and so he grew up in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania. Gentile has spent his career as a sales representative in the steel industry while married to his wife, Melanie, for over 30 years.
Together, they have devoted themselves to their special needs daughter, Maria, who is in her twenties, and whom Rob refers to as “pure spirit.” Throughout her childhood, he grappled with difficult questions about prayer and why children must suffer. Answers came in a sudden and unexpected way—at age 56 he had a massive heart attack, then flatlined, and had a near-death experience (NDE).
Self-discovery and spiritual awakening continued while waiting to receive a donor heart. His journey provides a roadmap for overcoming adversity, staying in spirit, and addressing the most troubling questions of our time. He shares the insights learned from his spiritual awakening.
