I nearly died. I was traveling very, very quickly up through this very bright white light. At the top of it, I saw some of my friends who had passed away.
It was just so beautiful.
Mayim Bialik (0:14)
What you're describing is a near death experience.
Sharon Stone (0:16)
These five orbs presented themselves to me, and they talked to me.
Mayim Bialik (0:21)
Had anything like this ever happened to you?
Sharon Stone (0:23)
Jesus, no. I don't know if I'm supposed to stay here or if I'm supposed to die. They said, you're supposed to stay, but your destiny requires that we stay with you.
Mayim Bialik (0:32)
Were you scared? Humanitarian and award-winning actress Sharon Stone discusses her new book about her spiritual journey, channeling and her near death experience.
Sharon Stone (0:43)
When I had Basic Instinct, I was very young and inexperienced. I opened some dark doors. Dark people, dark things came into my life. Just because the devil's a very interesting person at the cocktail party doesn't mean you should give him a seat.
Jonathan Cohen (0:58)
It feels like you almost lost yourself for a moment.
Sharon Stone (1:00)
Yes, but the light is what saved me.
I'm really good at playing characters that lived because I can channel them. I have a belief in a higher power. Do I know what that is? No. That allows me to be open to finding, knowing, experiencing the what. Right now is the moment to tune into the higher consciousness. Give me your right hand.
Mayim Bialik (1:28)
Right now?
Sharon Stone (1:29)
And open your wrist. Who's Elaine?
Mayim Bialik (1:37)
The best thing that's ever happened to you financially, go.
Jonathan Cohen (1:41)
Easy. Sold my car on Carvana.
Sharon Stone (1:43)
Amazing offer. Really? I hit 200 on a scratcher.
Mayim Bialik (1:47)
Did the scratcher come to your house and hand you a check? No. How many scratchers did you hit to get that?
Jonathan Cohen (1:51)
I hit a button on carvana.com once.
Sharon Stone (1:54)
Okay, that's fair.
Jonathan Cohen (1:56)
It's like the lottery, except you always win.
Sharon Stone (1:59)
Not like the lottery at all, actually.
Mayim Bialik (2:01)
Exactly.
Sharon Stone (2:02)
Inexplicably good. Offer's worth bragging about.
