Near-Death Experiences and The Life Review with Bruce Greyson
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 июл 2024
- In this interview with Christopher Naughton, Bruce Greyson, M.D. states that nearly 30% of all near-death experiences are accompanied by a “life review,” an examination of all the events in one’s life. They often are experienced with intensive detail, as seen and felt through one’s own perceptions as well as others, without judgment or punishment.
Greyson’s story begins in the early 1970s. Long before the term Near Death Experience (NDE) became part of our vocabulary, two figures crossed paths at the University of Virginia that would change everything relating to the yet-unnamed phenomenon. Dr. Raymond Moody, collecting stories of near-death experiences that would eventually be the basis of his groundbreaking best-seller "Life After Life," became a student of Bruce Greyson, M.D., a psychiatrist and professor at UVA who had collected a few NDE stories of his own. Moody would become a best-selling author on the subject and Greyson would go on to start IANDs (the International Association of Near Death Studies), author the book "After: A Doctor Explores What Near-Death Experiences Reveal about Life and Beyond," and help formulate what would become the University of Virginia’s Division of Perceptual Studies (DOPS) program. Today Greyson is a Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia.
Greyson’s work reveals that NDEs have been reported in various cultures throughout history, indicating that they are not limited to specific religious or cultural beliefs. He also states that NDEs can lead to a transformation and renewal of one's perspective on life, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all beings.
This program was previously recorded for the seminar led by Christopher Naughton "The One Mind: Mind-Blowing Discoveries on the Nature of Life, Death and Consciousness." For more about future seminars (twice a year) subscribe to his newsletter here www.americasnextgreatawakenin...

When I was in junior high, one day after school I had not a life review but a soul review-a generalized review of all actions from all my lifetimes. First the bad, then the good followed by an instruction. It was just a quiet moment home alone as a latchkey kid. Before it happened, I sensed I had been pushing the experience away for several days but that there was no avoiding it. In third grade I had started a contemplative practice either before or after an NDE-I can’t remember which came first-and I think the soul review was triggered by developments in my spiritual life. Thank goodness for Jeffrey Mishlove and his body of work and now this channel! He’s been there all these decades as a kind, intelligent, and compassionate sounding board when I had little or no support in my own family, church, or community-or at least didnt know how to seek it out. Spending years with Asian teachers helped a lot too.
My father started to see his mother (who was a very kind lady) a day or two before he died.
Consciousness is just a series of atoms and electrons which essentially gives us our mind and the soul is just a certain pattern of arrangement of atoms and electrons interacting with each other via the 4 fundamental forces of nature which essentially gives us our spirit. When a person dies these atoms and electrons get rearranged and that person ceases to exist. Near death experiences and out of body experiences are certainly hallucinations caused by dying brain cells firing randomly and going haywire as they start to die. It takes many hours, if not days for every brain cell to completely die, for every neuron to stop firing and for all electrical activity deep inside the brain to completely stop. Quantum Field Theory says that there is one field for every type of particle. There are no spirit particles or spirit forces that can interact with the atoms and the known forces in your brain and body because we would of already detected them in existing experiments. Any new type of particle or force that we have not yet detected would be either 1) Be too heavy to create, 2) Be to short lived to detect 3) Be weakly interacting or 4) Interact over too short ranges. In any case the new type of particle or force would not be relevant to what the atoms and the known forces are doing in your brain and body. The reason we are self aware, but not a rock or a table is particles have to interact and move around in certain patterns and certain configurations. Some near death experiences and out of body experiences contradict each other. They can not all be right but they can all be wrong. It is not the particles that matter but the patterns in which that are arranged. Consciousness and the soul is not an energy or substance like water or air but a process like fire, when you put out the flame on a candle, the flame does not go anywhere, the reaction stops and that is what happens when we die. The flame is a chemical reaction with the particles that it is made up of. There is no way for the information that is you to persist after you die and there is no way for the information stored in your brain to persist after you die. Your spirit or consciousness is not conserved in any way, the electrical energy in your brain simply ceases to be and will change form to a more disordered form of energy namely heat. This heat is not your spirit or consciousness, it is just the most disordered form of energy, thus all energy will eventually be converted to heat energy.
Every topic discussed on this channel is Gold. There's a treasure trove of nuggets in Near Death Experiences. I'm shocked academia doesn't take them more seriously.
If we have even one eyewitness to a crime it's enough to convict in a court of law. And we have many THOUSANDS of NDE accounts!
Keep being excellent Jeffrey! ❤
Agree. Generally speaking, if psi was "put on trial" its existence would have been proven beyond reasonable doubt - FAR beyond, long ago (see Jessica Utts' analysis for example).
Progress is slow. Perhaps the notion that it nudges forward with the passing of each one of the current gatekeepers in the Ivory Towers.
It amazes me that Jeffrey's work was not only decades ahead, but could very well be a century ahead of its time. These interviews are precious and I have a hunch, will be the foundation of an incredible future...even if it's 50 years away.
I hardly consider a bunch of unverified anecdotes a "treasure trove of nuggets". That's not science.
@Macceee A single person telling their story isn't sufficient evidence to be considered a fact via the scientific method. It's known as an anecdote.
However *when multiple independent anecdotes or pieces of evidence converge to support a common conclusion*, it can be considered a form of corroborating or converging evidence. Scientists seek converging evidence to strengthen the validity of their findings or hypotheses.
There are thousands of [Near Death Experiences](youtube.com/@TheOtherSideNDEYT?si=h2EUavgvR9N4IK0y) which are harmonious and fundamentally align.
There also thousands of [UFO abduction accounts](youtube.com/@EyesOnCinema?si=uEjjQnJLv4InSaSr) which also point to the same truth:
**We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience.**

The life review is one of the most intriguing components of NDEs. Will enjoy this episode.

I really like Christopher interview skills.
Me too!
He's terrific - brings fact-based optimism. 😂
Hoping he can get better audio - less scratchy.
I've had life reviews standing at counters. I once had one driving through the desert on my way to Palm Springs.
I'm believer that you don't need to have a NDE to experience life reviews.
I love your channel Jeffery and grateful for it's content. Christopher McNaughton is a great addition too!

Chris went to College in the 1970's. The Carter years. Best time ever 😂😂😂!!!
Thank you for this brilliant interview Christopher in presenting Dr Bruce Greyson. I highly recommend the book AFTER, it's a comprehensive book which gives seekers a real insight into consciousness and NDEs.
Really excellent video…appreciate the decades of work done by those investigating NDEs.
Enjoyable talk. Thank you🥰🙏✌️
I appreciate this upload a lot. Great talk. Down to earth and right at the points.
Chris rocks!!!
My father in law had an NDE after going into a diabetic coma! When he walk up he said one of his cousins had died. He woke up and 10 min later he got a call announcing his cousin had just died.
@user-kp9fz1jp9i
Be that as it may, you're not addressing the veridical aspect of the NDE that the commentator described.
There are many hundreds of those, too: materialists' explanations have to do better than merely stating that the principals in these accounts are confused or biased, especially since many of them are medical professionals involved with the resuscitation of the NDEer. (And many of those were present when actual 'flatlining' occurred vs. the 'near' part.
*What movies or television programs about near death, out-of-body, life after life, reincarnation, life review or other transcendent experiences have had an impact on you?* Have you seen any where the life review or past life regression made a difference in the character's arc, one way or the other? Some are redemption stories, some are not. Do any of them make you laugh, cry, ponder, remember or ....? Why? Do you have one favorite film in this genre? What about a specific scene in a movie that caught your attention? This episode with Bruce and Christopher mentions several films and @hydrorix1 reminds us not to forget "Flatliners." Let me know your thoughts in a comment below or shoot me an email valerie@newthinkingallowed.com. Thanks! Valerie, an NTA producer.

I believe the broader, applicable-to-all-humankind, lessons from NDEs could radically and powerfully change the world...if taken to heart. Just my opinion.
I dunno....Seeing things through other peoples eyes doesn't mean that they'll feel less or more justified in their position...I mean I've hurt people in my past for sure; but I've also felt very justified in it....I'm sure as much as the other person when hurting me...I don't see how that changes just by feeling what they felt at the time.
@@7EarthskyKeep researching how NDEs have changed a person. We all seem to be at various levels of growth. Not everyone "gets it" immediately or the first time 'round. Rather, it may take thousands of lifetimes.

Wow! The last time I watched this show, was when you hosted UG Krishnamurti,
Nice 1 guys 👍
I surely hope it won't be the last. Many thanks to both and NTA ❤
Thank you.
I like Virk's "The Simulation Hypothesis" proposal that says IF we are in a Virtual Reality then it's more likely we are not nonplayer characters (NPCs) who are drones with limited responses but are more like characters in a role playing game (RPG) with freedom to make choices and grow.
Most interesting is that inside the game are all the player Avatars and ouside the game are all the players, as conscious beings playing their respective Avatars.
My life review - definitely helped me become a kinder, more considerate person, But, it also revealed how Narrow Human bandwidth is.
Are the NDE’s always just a 1 degree separation of experience with others, or can it go out further if you are really EVIL or GOOD.
Ex. You beat up the guy, he doesn’t make it home, his wife chokes and dies leaving two kids without a mom?
It seems like a REAL life review should show you the TOTALITY of your actions… Great talk gentleman, thank you for the thoughts.🤙🏼✌🏼😊
Nice chat, BUT WAIT, why did he mention the stain on his tie? I’m guessing something was left out?
Hi Rodney, Christopher Naughton here... yes Bruce neglected to finish the story and I did not prompt him, so that's on me... I did tell my class afterwards that the woman who had the near death experience told Bruce that she had seen him talking to her roommate (while she was in a coma) in a room down the hall... and she not only described the room, but the spaghetti stain on his tie! And he only had his jacket open for ten minutes and it was while he was in that particular room. It scrambled his mind because he could not figure out how she actually saw it and for a bit thought he was being pranked.
That’s fantastic! I’m so happy to hear that AND it comports with a long-told tale by my wife’s grandmother who also had an NDE back in the 1930s.
The Golden Rule (see at 15:43), despite its positive intent and time-honored tradition, is imperfect as a behavioral norm. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” does move beyond a self-centered “do unto others whatever benefits me.” But it achieves “do unto others something that benefits them” only in the special case where the other person’s wants and needs match your own. Often, what we would want for ourselves is actually something that is neither helpful to, nor appreciated by, the other person. Truly caring about the other person should take that fact into account, contrary to the Golden Rule.
Hereafter directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Matt Damon is a must watch.
I want to say Greyson's work & of course Moody's excellent, continuing insights into the significance of the NDE has led me to believe that we are in for a world-wide, shared death experience on Easter, 2026. Why? Because angelic & other higher realms have been trying to get humankind to face their shortcomings & bloody-mindedness for a very long time. The best known attempt was the well-documented Lady of Fatima experiences in the 1920s. Another one happened in 1962 in Garabandal, Spain, though it's less well known to the general public.
Now, we have a famous angel experiencer (he refers to them as orbs or spheres of light) known as Chris Bledsoe who says His Lady, a female spirit who has been appearing to him since 2012, predicts a world-wide event at Easter, 2026. The Lady's prediction falls in line roughly w/ the Virgin Mary's message of a sign followed by a miracle communicated at Garabandal.
What would be the most powerful way to help humankind face its deficiencies? Why, a shared NDE which includes a life review!!
I had to go listen to the queens of the stone age song the evil has landed. Talking about near life experience.

Your spirit or consciousness is not conserved in any way, the electrical energy in your brain simply ceases to be and will change form to a more disordered form of energy namely heat. This heat is not your spirit or consciousness, it is just the most disordered form of energy, thus all energy will eventually be converted to heat energy.
based on NDEs, what are we going to do in the afterlife?
It seems you may have inadvertently edited out the significance of the tomato sauce stain on Bruce's tie.
Exactly! I'm sure I remember reading about this too. The girl who had revived knew he had a stain on his tie, even though he'd rebuttoned his lab coat. Or maybe he just forgot to mention it in the interview?
@@amandayorke481 Hi folks Christopher Naughton here... yes Bruce neglected to finish the story and I did not prompt him, so that's on me... I did tell my class afterwards that the woman who had the near death experience told Bruce that she had seen him talking to her roommate (while she was in a coma) in a room down the hall... and she not only described the room, but the spaghetti stain on his tie! And he only had his jacket open for ten minutes and it was while he was in that particular room. It scrambled his mind because he could not figure out how she actually saw it and for a bit thought he was being pranked.
thanks for your reply Christopher...you've been doing a great job since coming onboard btw@@NewThinkingAllowed
@@NewThinkingAllowed No worries Christopher. Sometimes when someone is so used to telling and retelling a story - as Bruce must be - they simply forget the "punchline", and when the other person is also familiar with it, it's as if they mentally supply the ending for themselves and skip on to the next thing they wanted to ask. This story reminds me of that famous one about precognition where, as a physics student, someone who later became famous for paranormal research read of some crucial event in that morning's New York Times - except that the story didn't come out til the next day. His fellow-students ridiculed him until they read it themselves, a day later. Again, I knew the story already, and that guy was also re- interviewed, but when the interviewer got to the reveal (as they call it in novels and screen plays) it wasn't made precisely clear, although of course it was easy to infer ... er, I hope that wasn't you doing that interview, Christopher, but even if it was, you come across as very warm and sincere and it's a pleasure to listen to you.
@@NewThinkingAllowed Consciousness is just a series of atoms and electrons which essentially gives us our mind and the soul is just a certain pattern of arrangement of atoms and electrons interacting with each other via the 4 fundamental forces of nature which essentially gives us our spirit. When a person dies these atoms and electrons get rearranged and that person ceases to exist. Near death experiences and out of body experiences are certainly hallucinations caused by dying brain cells firing randomly and going haywire as they start to die. It takes many hours, if not days for every brain cell to completely die, for every neuron to stop firing and for all electrical activity deep inside the brain to completely stop. Quantum Field Theory says that there is one field for every type of particle. There are no spirit particles or spirit forces that can interact with the atoms and the known forces in your brain and body because we would of already detected them in existing experiments. Any new type of particle or force that we have not yet detected would be either 1) Be too heavy to create, 2) Be to short lived to detect 3) Be weakly interacting or 4) Interact over too short ranges. In any case the new type of particle or force would not be relevant to what the atoms and the known forces are doing in your brain and body. The reason we are self aware, but not a rock or a table is particles have to interact and move around in certain patterns and certain configurations. Some near death experiences and out of body experiences contradict each other. They can not all be right but they can all be wrong. It is not the particles that matter but the patterns in which that are arranged. Consciousness and the soul is not an energy or substance like water or air but a process like fire, when you put out the flame on a candle, the flame does not go anywhere, the reaction stops and that is what happens when we die. The flame is a chemical reaction with the particles that it is made up of. There is no way for the information that is you to persist after you die and there is no way for the information stored in your brain to persist after you die. Your spirit or consciousness is not conserved in any way, the electrical energy in your brain simply ceases to be and will change form to a more disordered form of energy namely heat. This heat is not your spirit or consciousness, it is just the most disordered form of energy, thus all energy will eventually be converted to heat energy.
Now this might sound like crazy talk, but i suspect that i was born dead. 4 days without amniotic fluid before an "emergency" c section. Mom was so sick afterwards she wasn't allowed to see me for 2 weeks. And so many close calls with death, some intentional, i could list a bunch and still keep remembering more as things trigger memory. Perhaps death is not what we are told, but a thin line or enzyme or RNA protein that has nothing to do with animated body and mind but rather whether your energy or flesh is consumed. Either way, we exist within the parasite kingdom. There are beings without objective discernment who try to set traps and catch you fumbling or contradicting yourself. A trap in itself like Merriam Webster writing the dictionary with words that have many meanings and bind like spider webs. Or if you made choices and learned from the consequences and changed your perspective on the topic, these beings have not evolved, they are staked to their own claims. These beings are behind the curtain in all aspects of society, compliments of the industrial complex. They buried the truth and built social structures and foundations on top.

At 30:57, Bruce Greyson was cut off when he was about to say something!
Yes, I was about to wrap up the conversation. As Bruce started to express himself, I stepped aside and he finished his last thought.
@@ChristopherNaughton
What did he say then? His last few words were not heard on video.
@@redblade8160 Probably just more unverified and unscientific anecdotes.
@@Macceee
You're going too far there. People around the world (and for millennia) have had NDEs. Even scientists know that NDE occurs but cannot explain it with their rudimentary form of measuring. Non physical things cannot be measured in a physical world, yet they exist.
@@redblade8160 The last thing that Dr. Greyson said was that Prof. Jeffrey Kripal at Rice University called the so-called spiritual but not religious as those espousing "the religion of no religion." that was the last thing he attempted to say and he did get his entire phrase spoken. And a very rational and courteous response to Maccee above.
But then you supposedly are reborn a blank slate remembering nothing what's the point?
The mind wipe involved in reincarnation seems like a nasty trick. If we don't remember our mistakes, we're more likely to repeat them, and consequently continually recycle back into their Matrix.
I want off the bus.
@paulahoskins9972 Yeh. The concept is nonsensical. Unless progressing isn't a thing. Unless it's all just a game like our VR tech.
The body does not remember, but the eternal soul does. That is the point. This is Earth school for the soul. The body is merely a tool to house your soul.
@@JPRose-lr7iw I see. So progress here doesn't matter.
@@paulahoskins9972 Ha! Christopher Naughton here... your comment about the bus is timely... Have you seen the film “Defending Your Life” with Albert Brooks and Meryl Streep? We mention the film in the conversation and it is the best film on Teh Life Review I have seen yet. And very funny. Buses play the key role in trajectory of Brooks through life, death and afterlife. At the beginning, it’s a collision with a bus that kills him. At the end, without giving too much away “getting off the bus” is an apt description of breaking away from judgment in the life review. Letting go of fear and anxiety in life and death is a powerful message.
I want an nde when I die if, somehow, this is just remaining brain activity. I feel the nde process is a gateway to an afterlife. I feel God is universal. I hate to minimize other religions bc I feel all religions have a purpose. However, people of all religions have to stop taking such a stubborn stance in thinking their way is the only way to God.
Amen Tim! And that's one of the reasons we are here.
If this helps anyone Days before my Dad died he was talking outloud to his deceased mother
The king of anecdotes is back!
Case studies are not mere "anecdotes"
@@NewThinkingAllowed Unless those who supposedly "corroborated" veridical NDEs and such step forward, in an interview for example, then yes it's mere anecdotes and is quite useless. Just like the story about the tooth-fairy.
They always only say the words "it was verified" or "it was corroborated" when it comes to these lovely anecdotes and it somehow becomes a fact (to the naive people that is) when it's not. And even if they did step forward how could anyone possibly know that they're telling the truth?
This guy, Greyson, has studied this phenomena for over 30 years and have not produced a single scientific hard piece of evidence. It's just anecdotal "evidence" and statistics, etc. I've read his book After and there is not one sentence in there that comes close to being scientific. EVEN though the guy is a doctor and have access to these facilities.
Has not produced a hard piece of evidence of what? Of a genuine near death experience? Of consciousness not created by or tethered to a brain? Greyson’s work (among others) is proof beyond a reasonable doubt… perhaps not all doubt… of consciousness surviving death. Scientists should not be running away from things they don’t understand but TOWARDS them. Long before the fundamentalism of scientific materialism breathes its last breath, they’ll be studying the phenomenon of near death experiences at every university.
@@LolaGirl-to7zj LOL! If you consider unverified anecdotes (basically stories sometimes decades old) proof beyond a reasonble doubt that conciousness survives death, then I hope you aren't working in the court-system, let alone as a judge. Since when is interviewing folks who claim stuff proof of anything. Jeffrey Long is another example of a self-proclaimed "scientist", the guy even accepts anonymous, read again, anonymous NDE stories sent to him via his website and then calls it science and "evidence". It's barely pseudo-science.
And yes, regarding science Greyson ran "towards" the topic to do research , yet only found a bunch of unverified anecdotes. And those that he claimed were verified is simply him saying so. I've never seen any such testimonies in interviews or other corroboration other than him uttering the words/making the claim on RUclips.
@@LolaGirl-to7zj And one more thing - the fact that you can induce a full blown NDE by fear of dying alone, despite you being in no physical risk of dying (you only think you are about to) tells you that it's some kind of complex brain phenomena. Also, Greyson often mentions the fact that sometimes they see people in their NDE that they didn't know had died yet, but found out after they were revived. But he forgets to mention the cases where they met people in their NDE who WERE alive both before the NDE and after they were sent home from hospital. Again, another sign that's the brain is causing this and it's not an "afterlife".
Good night.
Near death experiences are dreams
What about people who have NDE and see Christ ? Or go to hell? There is a substantial number of NDE that back the Christian religion
