After | An In-Depth Interview with Bruce Greyson
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 июл 2024
- Dr Bruce Greyson is Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia. He is one of the world's leading scientists in the field of Near-Death Studies. He was a co-founder and President of the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) and Editor of the Journal of Near-Death Studies.
His research over the past four decades has focused on near-death experiences, particularly their after-effects and implications.
In this interview he talks about his experiences and the insights he gained from his work. He also talks about his book “After: A Doctor Explores What Near-Death Experiences Reveal About Life and Beyond".
Contents:
00:02:45 What triggered your interest in near-death experiences?
00:07:27 An overview about the last 40 years of research and work and the most important results
00:09:14 What profound effects have near-death experiences on people?
00:11:34 What are the cultural differences in NDEs between United States and Europe, or Asia or even early civilizations and cultures?
00:13:44 How difficult did you find it to overcome, the resistance or the lack of interest in the scientific fellow scientists, the medical world, or the public at large?
00:15:09 How difficult is it to get proof that observations of experiences, their perceptions, are actually accurate?
00:18:38 Putting up signs somewhere on the shelf so that the person in their out of body state could see the sign didn't go so well
00:20:37 About meeting diseased people who they couldn't have known that they had died
00:23:39 About the theories of how we explain near-death experiences
00:27:06 Is it true that some of the near-death experiences have happened during a state where it was fairly certain or sure that the brain couldn't have generated these experiences through normal means?
00:29:13 Dr. Eben Alexander's case
00:33:16 Is the mind or the consciousness - the soul - separate from the physical brain?
00:37:20 What can the research in near-death experience tell us about perhaps our hopes or questions whether we actually survive physical death?
00:38:56 Suicide and fear of death
00:40:10 Have we accumulated enough knowledge to conclude actually that consciousness does survive physical death?
00:42:36 What personal worldview have you derived at? Do you believe in life after death, or how do you see it?
00:43:20 What are the most important open questions in this field of near-death research?
00:46:07 What kind of challenges do near-death experiencers face?

These are excellent interviews-treated with clarity, and reverence-as this subject deserves to be ! There are very few people more restrained and Credible than Dr Greyson.
Totally agree 💓
Impressive, Dr. Grayson and the interviewer too.
Now I am able to make sense of my mom's grandmother's experience. My mom told us that her grandmother died. And after 2-3 minutes she came back. She used to tell them about the white light tunnel. That's all that I can recall. After 6 months of that incident she died. She was in perfect mental health condition before and after.
To me, some of the most compelling evidence of an afterlife comes from the similar testimonies from different experiencers. In the absence of any science to explain what's happening, we have to rely upon individual testimonies. In my best judgement, most testimonies of NDE'rs here on RUclips are unmistakably sincere. For what it's worth, I have far less fear of my own death now that I've become more certain of an afterlife.
very thoughful comment and well said t.u.
I think what exactly is seen especially in religious ones is determined by what religion you're most familiar with.
@@jturner2577 Willing to bet some religious ones experienced nothingness for a while before it either stayed or changed to something familiar or different.
It’s DMT. Someone who astral projects will say it’s not their consciousness leaving their body it’s heightened awareness. Hence why they fail the tests carried out. NDE’s Vary so much depending on the person. Death bed visions are usually of deceased loved ones but have yet to find any of the claims Bruce Greyson has made in regards to seeing people they didn’t know had died.
It seems that not everyone that has a mystical experience needs to be near death. In 1981, when I was 19 years old, I was lying in bed trying to get to sleep because I had an early college test the next day. All of a sudden I began to feel a tingling sensation in my feet. Slowly the sensation began to go up my legs, into my torso and eventually when it reached my upper chest I saw a very bright Light. This Light then enveloped my head. I was scared and I thought something was physically off with me. But within seconds the Light began to fill me with the most amazing unconditional love. It was a feeling of love that I had never felt in my life. My eyes involuntarily just teared up and I knew that I was experiencing something from another Realm. I felt that I could not do anything wrong in my life that would cause this unconditional love to reject me, to leave me. At that moment I felt that I could be free to live my life without fear of judgment. I then asked why there are so many religions in the world and if there was One True Religion. Telepathically I received the thought that religion helped some people deal with life or feel like they had answers and that brought them comfort. However I understood that this loving Light did not care if you were affiliated with a religious sect or not. It was an individual choice. And if a person decided to one day leave organized religion then that was fine with them as well. After this amazing interaction the Light began to go down my body in the same way that it came and eventually it left out my feet. I was speechless to say the least.
Thanks for sharing the experience. It sounds wonderful.
😊👍
Thank you for a most interesting interview. My late husband had an NDE three days before he died 42 years ago and that sent me on my spiritual Journey 💕
My brother and I have both experienced NDEs, mine occurred as a small boy, his as a 42 year. His experience was detailed, an experience that could fill volumes, creating changes in his life that were nothing short of profound. He is no longer on this side of the veil, but he left quiet the legacy.
Would be very interesting to hear more of what you and your brother experienced 🦋🌷🦋
You can be the most acclaimed scientists on the planet, with a bucket of Nobel prizes, but it just takes ONE o.o.b experience to know the greater reality.
@@bigfletch8 Once one sees the other side, it becomes a challenge to "buy back into the illusion" and to stay engaged with it.
@@nomebear did he leave you any signs?
I had one myself three weeks ago. I was taking a large dose of magic mushrooms alone. I was very depressed, plagued by thoughts of not death itself but the great slaughterhouse of the universe, the pitilessness of it. I was an atheist. I saw a tunnel of stars and was asked a question: do you want to die? I thought before answering - I had wanted to die, but didn’t any more, but I knew that if I said ‘no’ I would not experience whatever it was, I said yes, I had to let go, ‘my life is breaking apart into a million petals of nothingness. If I go to hell I am ready.’
I found myself bathed in a black radiant bath of subatomic particles, in the arms of ‘god’. I utterly overcome, with the sense of unity of mind, love, and forgiveness, though no language could function in this place. I saw a point of light, which I thought was a point of perfect attention. I wanted to go closer to it, but as I did, I realised that my self had returned, otherwise there would be no ‘l’ to want… at this point I felt myself being pulled back.
A month later I am greatly changed. An atheist then, now a believer, greatly committed to a spiritual life, though not sure how to integrate the experience into my old life, if that is even possible. I don’t know if I was dead or not, but it was the same experience as nde experiencers seem to have. I am utterly changed.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Now, your life is what you want to make of it!
What an extraordinary description of your powerful STE - spiritually transformative experience.. I'm glad that I scrolled far enough to read it. May you continue to behold the light on your path.
Wonderful experience.
I used to be terrified to die. I mean terrified, only because I didn’t know exactly what happened. I’ve always believed in God and Jesus, However to know what happens after we die puts me at so much peace. Thank you dear God for these peoples experiences to share with us. I’m so grateful and humbled.
Is an great interview, and such a grand honor to listen to Dr Bruce Greyson.It`s one of the most documented doctor in NDE cases with real and precise evidence.Thanks Thanatos TV , you are doing a great job !
This happened to my Father a year before he died - changed him to the Daddy I remembered in my childhood; he had been clinically depressed - embittered and sarcastic. This was in 1950 and he couldn’t tell anyone because they wouldn’t believe he wasn’t hallucinating, but my Mom believed him 🤗🥰
what did he saw during his NDE?
This is such an incredible interview, I hope this gets seen by more people. I feel as if many doors will open once more people come to understand the significance of this research.
Indeed! #90sKid #PowerRangers. Hehe.
You’ll be remembered Dr. Grayson, when we all finally realize what’s going on.
I must commend Dr. Greyson. He is a real scientist who wasn't afraid to go where the evidence led him even if it went against his previous beliefs.
This is what an open minded person does. Finds Truth. Unlike religious closed, rigid minds that stay the same way, their entire life. Only grows, learns in a horizontal direction.
I can definetly feel the kindness of this Dr Greyson. He knows what he is talking about. Yes it is true, it is hard to discribe the place where you go when you have a NDE. And the effect of an NDE when you come back. It's all true.👍
what impresses me most about Dr. Greyson is how he is open minded and unwilling to draw a conclusion. a true scientist
This shows science and spirituality can Co exist. I had an out of body experience when I was a child during heart surgery. I remember having 360 degree vision and I saw my body and knew it was my body. I saw everyone around me all at the same time. I floated to the ceiling and looked down. Then it ended. However when I woke up, the first thing I said to my mother was " why did they put me on the ceiling to do the operation". I was 8 years old and was born with congenital heart disease.
I think the verifiable aspects of the near death experience proves that mind and Brain is very different and this will in the end, have huge implications for all of mankind. I know for a fact death isn't the end.
The brain is the receiver of the mind in my opinion. Thank you for sharing your experience ☺️
Mr Rohrbeck, I really enjoy your interviews. While you give your guests all the space they need, you still show a great deal of genuine interest for the topic and ask all the good questions. Thank you so much for this fantastic content and for being such a good interviewer.
He has a very welcoming but balanced attitude, not putting himself forward, letting the interviewee elaborate as needed. So tired of aggressive, interrupting interviewers or the ones who preface their questions with lengthy showboating commentary. 😮
The man doing the interview is so sweet, he speaks clear, soft, and gental.
Also does his research.
Thankyou for a great podcast.
Love Australia x
What a great interview! Both of your kind, intelligent and well spoken natures made this an extremely powerful conversation! Thank you both.
Thanks so much to you both for this fascinating interview. Loved the account of the nurse who had passed on without the patient knowing. Amazing evidence. These accounts are so comforting and helps to know there is a bigger meaning to our lives 🌈🦋🌈
We need more of these wonderful, profound and deeply informative interviews, especially in the light of what the world is going through now, and the consequences that lay therein.😔
Thank you Thanatos TV for this wonderful interview. Dr Greyson is such a wealth of knowledge and an excellent speaker. The information presented was really interesting and I didn't want the interview to end. I will be purchasing his latest book. Great job by the interviewer in asking pertinent and relevant questions. Well done.
Hey! (My last named Taylor also😊) Regarding Mr Greysons book, do you know how it reads? Like, is it full of deep or difficult to understand concepts or theories or a "hard read" at all? Im thinking about getting it for my youngest brother, but reading,academics, philosophy etc are not strong points for him..Thanks for any info you can provide!
@@PureExistence1 haven’t read the book, but I have read a lot of Greysons works online and I personally think he does a good job of saying things in terms that are easy to grasp, he doesn’t try to flex his vocabulary or make it more convoluted than it has to me
The Doctor’s explanation of how the brain maybe is simply a filtering necessaries for survival only made a lot of sense and most logical to date. To answer if they can survive after death? Yes, I have seen it personally back in Vietnam. The lady was dead from electrocution and in the casket for 3 days at home during her funeral progress. She woke up and beat on the casket cap just before her family to move her to the cemetery for burial.
This was in Vietnam? I have heard of similar things happening in earlier days, the 18th and early 19th century.
the book "After" written by Dr Greyson is my absolute favourite. It is paradigm shifting.
So many parts of this interview gave me goosebumps. I loved the way he explained it as we are all part of the same.
Very important what he said at 12:59 ! That this Being of Light was NOT the God as in the God portrayed in Church. I sincerely believe that the God of the Bible has HUMAN CHARACTERISTICS such as Jealousy and even vindictiveness. This Being of Light is none of that ,but rather Pure,Unconditional Love Presence.
The God of the old Testament is a God distorted by the human Ego. In reality God is without an Ego and it's fear based negativity. As well Christianity with it's false, deceitful Doctrines and false God of eternal Damnation has largely contributed to that deepest Damage caused to all of Humanity by these anthropomorphic Projection of human Ego upon God, we could be much further already in our Evolution.
Fraudulent claims of religion has produced more Atheists than ANYTHING else in human history.
I had a shared death experience with my gran who was healthy as an ox but her car was crushed in traffic and somehow I was “with her” even though I was *hundreds of kilometers away*. There was no expectation of this, obviously. Tell me that was “a trick of the mind”.
And I take it you didn’t know at the time? Because it was just happening
May I please ask what did you experience, what happened etc
I truly love this man. His work is remarkable and its importance can't be overstated. It's pioneering stuff, and it's where it all changes. Slowly, but steadily material/physicalism is proven wrong. It is, without the shadow of a doubt, obsolete. When the majority of the scientific community decides to allow more spirituality into their daily lives, it will be able use the knowledge; the wisdom, the insights, experiences and intuitions they will get from spirituality to advance scientific research and reach heights we had not even conceived. Thank you Bruce, and thanks to your colleagues and collaborators. Peace
Science does not, so far, have a conceptual framework that allows for the inclusion of non-material/non-physical reality.
Dr. Greyson has amazing energy and mindset. Love this. Thank you for your work in this field. I’m still trying to find my place in the professional world, but this is inspiring me to consider the psychology field as my path.
Thank you so much .. wonderful interview. 🙏🏻👍
Wonderful interview! I’ll be listening more than once and sharing with others!
Thumbs up to his research!! Excellent work 👍👍!!
The target data in the hospital's should have went something like this:
"Hey you... yeah, you; the one floating around outside of their body in this hospital room. You're having an 'out of body experience.' Remember the following image: 😇, or this message, so you can draw or describe either one for the relevant individuals that you may encounter, as soon as reasonably possible after you're resusitated, to help give more evidence for the spiritual realm."
"Thank you for your cooperation." 😉
Thought provoking responses from Dr. Greyson. This is such a fascinating subject. I keep coming back to Kant and Hegel again and again listening to this type of interview and the interviews of those who had an NDE.
Love Dr Greyson!
Yup. Always enjoy listening to him!
A very thorough and well thought out interview. The interviewer asked excellent questions and Dr. Greyson answered them carefully with clear detail staying scientifically authentic. Good job.
I find it so interesting that people from different cultures have different interpretations of the same experience even on the spiritual level. Also the radio station analogy really helps me understand the theory that the brain is the filter of the mind. Fascinating interview! Thank you both!
Now, this is called a scientist.
A person who goes wherever evidence leads.
❤️
Yes! Instead of those being told what to believe in. (Religious folks)
I remember reading about a case where the person saw aliens with humanity. Like the whole universe shares the same outcome after death. Which is probably how it really is.
Buenos dias, he leido el libro del Dr. Bruce Greyson en español Despues de la muerte, y me parece una persona tan agradable, confiable y llena de esperanzas conviviendo en un mundo tan convulcionado y difícil de creer y confiar, que genera a través de su majestuosa forma de investigacion, mucha confianza y muchos deseos de seguir investigando, la verdad que hablo y leo un poco en ingles pero me gustaria saber cuando se va a traducir el libro After en español, ya que muchas personas en este lado de sudamerica asi lo esperamos. Vengo investigando muchísimo sobre las ECM desde la Dra Elizabet Kubler Roos, Rymond Moody, Pim van Lomen y hoy tan entusiasmado descubriendo al Dr. Bruce Greyson, que como dije me parece extraordinaria su manera de explicacion y su inmensa vocacion medica. Muchisimas gracias Thanatos TV por el gran trabajo que desempeñan en cada entrevista ya que impulsan muchos deseos de seguirlos en cada programa que ponen en escena. Desde Argentina muchisimas gracias.
How much LOVE that doc radiates!!
Many thanks to both of you for putting this together, an amazing thought provoking interview!
Wonderful interview! Thank you for sharing it.
Very good interview
One of the best interviews with Dr. Grayson, thank you for making this.
How strange is it that so many people STILL believe what they can't see / smell / hear / touch / taste simply does not and cannot exist. It has always been the contrary to me - I would be absolutely FLOORED if spirits, thoughts and feelings turn out to be products of the brain and nothing but the brain.
Absolutely.😔
Wow, such great questions and explanations!!!
So existing, thank you both of you.
Fascinating!
Thank you for this great interview!
Wonderful interview. I have listened to so many NDE´s and info. on this subject and have to say this was very different and interesting coming from a person who was a sceptic but with the credentials that Dr. Greyson has.
Excellent interview!
I've been addicted to this topic, God, Science...ever since i listened to an interview with Dr. Guillen about the recent submarine tragedy. I my new interest in God, Science, afterlife is changing the trajectory of my thinking..slowly, less depressed. I sense my deceased loved ones all the time.. I feel a warmth, safety and a presence. I wonder if anyone else get's this.
I can't imagine anything more intriguing than this subject
This is going to be good 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I had an out of body experience and it was also very profound. It's the 1 thing that keeps pulling me back to believing in an after life. There's just no way I would have known things about myself without the OBE
What did u see
What did you learn about yourself....unless it's private/personal and if so I withdraw the question.
Thanks for you guys studying it objectively so that Buddha saying “form is not different from emptiness; emptiness is not different from form. Form is indeed emptiness; emptiness is indeed form“ was once nonsense and now damn true.
I just have the highest regards for Dr. Grayson . On your title would have been nice if you would have addressed him as a doctor (Dr)☺️.
Excellent.
Great interview. Looking forward to reading the book AFTER.
Ignore debunkers. They haven't the bandwidth to comprehend that of which you speak.
'Haven't the bandwidth' - I love it! And I agree completely.
Young souls/entity's
Indeed. 😔
Oh sweet, the legend is back! And I'm early in the comments. Hehe. :3 💚🔥😻
Thanatos(Death) Tv is one of the best channels in RUclips for the research of the afterlife, thank you..
They really are!
There is a good NDE related YT channel, NDE radio. It's just NDE accounts/interviews.
I really like this man, and he appears to be a very honest & sincere individual. And I suspect or perhaps it’s more accurate to say that I hope, that he believes more than he’s letting on, but I also suspect I know why he’s not revealing his entire conclusion, and for a number of reasons that I won’t mention. But I also don’t see how it’s possible that he doesn’t see the connection that’s rather obvious. And I also think he’s in a rather awkward and yet serious situation, that he eventually will have to make a decision if he hasn’t already. and I think it’s in Hebrews 12 that in effect is saying, how do we ignore such a great salvation when we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses.
For centuries human communities knew that life and death were part of the same thing. Psychics, chamanes, meicas, witches, etc. had the ability to connect with "the other world". But men with material power stepped in, created key religions to spread fear of a judging- God, and made it illegal for ordinary people to connect with other dimensions. As death does not exist, we, psychics, are still here, helping other humans to experience the love of light beings through our visions.
Maybe those psychics could help to solve some of the hundreds of
unsolved murders / missing kids
cases ? Very strange that they never get any messages from the
Other Side about those ?
Maybe start with the Delphi case ?
I would love to ask Dr. Greyson if he ever had a NDE experiencer who was an MKUltra victim, or a Targeted Individual and what happens to these particular people in such an experience and if they come back loving and caring about those who tortured them (and their loved ones) to death or to suicide?
All those years of brilliant and open minded interaction, Dr Bryson still understandable takes a healthy scientific appproach, regarding future interpretations. Science deals ONLY in theories, and yet Eban Alexander has one experience, after a career in nerosurgery with a very sceptical apprough throughout, now knows the reality of post physical life.
Predictably of course, his colleagues "disowned him". My take on that is they woukd be concerned that would increase suicide rates as Dr Bryson referred to.
One thing this absolutely proveres is the difference between group and individual consciousness.
to anyone reading this message: you are invited to join the giant prayer/meditation for peace and harmony (and envisioning the new world we all want) being conducted on 20th October, 2021. This event is happening worldwide, wherever you are in the world. Join together using Love to *shift* the planet toward the Positive! We are the ones we have been waiting for... In Love and Light!
Very interesting...😍
He is a committed scientist.
Dr Bruce Greyson,have been following your work fr a long time. You are inspiring...
Thank you Thanatos for this quality interview .
🧡
This is by far the best channel for this subject ...
We give amnesic agents to patients undergoing surgery. So most wont remember anything even if they had an NDE.
top book he wrote!
Important message for nde researcher - maybe u all not yet notice that even majority of nde is experiencing pleasant experience, but don't forget nde case study just cover around 5% , that mean the other 95% have possibility experiencing unpleasant experience, that why we need do a good conduct in this life.
Look further into NDE's. (NDERF) Dr. Jeffrey Long. Prominent researcher into NDE's. Negative NDE's are very few. Around 5% of total.
the 95% percent means that they dont experience anything
@@razony Yes, negative NDEs are few in number but that doesn't mean I or you won't be among that number.
Isn’t it ironic that we would try to use material evidence to prove a non-material realm?
🙏🙏💚💚💚
What other explanation is there to account for people seeing people they didn’t even know had died ?
Dear Greyson,
so its probably possible that i see my lovely dead Mum again after my own Dead?
Kind Regards from Germany!
I would think so. If it is your 'desire' too, then you will.
I DON'T WANT TO MELT I AM MYSELF 😊
Have you melted yet?
it could be that we are super imposing our feelings or expectations. but i actually think it may be god's way of talking to us. it is gonna make a lot more sense to be talking to a loved one in a way that makes them recognizable, as opposed to how we might actually exist in heaven. it may also be possible that we could not possibly understand the actual existence until and unless we get there, permanently.
I highly recommend to you SANDRA CHAMPLAINs fantastic channel WE DONT DIE. Its full of interviews with fascinating people and their experiences.
13:30 "Black Void...quite frightening for most Westerners".
That's not what I have found.
All of the NDE Experiencer videos that I have seen (of Westerners) who ended up in the Black Void, said that they would be Happy there Forever.
So, I'm surprised by his assertion.
Happy forever in a black void. Makes me wonder what kind of person they are.
I have read/heard of what you're talking about but I heard an account of a woman from New England who had a frightening experience in which she was utterly alone and aware of it. She said there was no awareness of time and after she came back, she felt like the experience had lasted for many years. The interview is somewhere on the RUclips channel, NDE Radio with Lee Witting. I just can't recall her name.
The most important question is “what do you now know about God?” Not just “do we have a soul that lives on?”
Only 9 NDE s out of 2000 cardiac arrests. ? Hmmm....
That is a VERY WEIRD paradigm: If you talk about the target we set up in the room, THAT COUNTS AS SCIENTIFIC PROOF. But if you recount in detail a conversation that happened in another part of the hospital (one you could not possibly know about), while you were unconscious, THAT DOESN'T COUNT. What???????
THIS is science??? omg.
The differences are great between the two scenarios.
Really nice interview!
It's interesting that the more 'civilized' a culture is, the more difficulty men have in accepting the idea that we are More Than Our Bodies. WHY is this idea so threatening??
(15:23) ??? HOW MANY ACCOUNTS of people being 'out' (lying in their beds, unconscious), then RECOUNTING CONVERSATIONS and WHAT'S GOING ON IN ANOTHER ROOM, with specific DETAILS, will it take before you can accept the idea that we are MORE THAN OUR BODIES and that this is AUTHENTIC, NOT an hallucination and not made up??? THIS IS TIRESOME. This constant 'having to prove' ... !!! Is there some number that will satisfy White Men?? ... I am just simply at a loss for understanding WHY this needs to be proved OVER and OVER and OVER again. Seriously.
Why is it threatening? Fear. All western religion teaches fear. Believe or else. Folks are afraid to except the NDE narrative out of fear! Get rid of the fear and it all becomes clear...clearer. -Ex-Christian
There are millions of men of all races who believe that consciousness is not confined to the brain. I don't know with whom you're so frustrated but "men", of any race, are not the problem. The problem is the materialistic mindset.
I have had OOB experiences on prescribed opioids. I know it was real because when I returned to my body once, my body jumped and I scared my cat.
Did u have a obe
@@jonathancervantes4554 that's what she said
Unfortunately, the card test is the only way to convince the scientific community. So tell patients that their treatment copay will be waived if they can see the card. You know, to motivate the OBE patients to find the card.
Some small points. There are always numerous studies cited, but the actual details of the study are never published. If they are, there are as many detractors of the studies as there are supporters. There are always stories; stories about John the 55 year old lorry driver, Sue the 32 year old nurse; Mary the mother of two. Again, they are just stories. Why do they never publish full details about these people. Why would these people object? Surely, if they have had such a wonderful experience they would be happy to share this with everyone. Lastly, every time I watch a video like this; NDE, spiritualism, conspiracy theory; the usual stuff, at the end of the video I know as little about the subject as I did at the start. No matter how long the talk. I guess the answer is in what the good doctor says near the start of the video. He has been studying NDE's for 50 years, and he is still in the dark. Something obviously happens to these people, but are we not being carried away by a surfeit of imagination?
His research team has documentation about these cases, and each of which was verified before they are added to their record. The research has been done and had to be done meticulously. Check with University of Virgina to see how to get access to these personal records.
This is a complex subject. Fifty years with a small group of scientists, they have achieved a lot with their determination, patience, open mindness and scientific attitude. Just the acknowledgement of the facts that we had long denied and contributed to mental illness, and acknowledgement of the reality that we don't truly know (which means we should not deny if we don't know) is a big step. The advance of scientific knowledge has always been built upon many individuals' work over a long long period of time combined with some breakthrough at a right time. Also to be fair, he is not in the dark. He just does not have a perfect explanation for all these phenomenons. He certainly is one of thoses pioneers to navigate through an unknown field. My high respect for him.
When you get the book, you'll find footnotes referencing each study cited. You are as free to read each and every one of them as anyone else is. They are ALL published in field journals accessible to the public. There are no secrets.
Geil
So ... the woman who saw the spaghetti sauce while 'out' was LYING????? I don't understand. Why wouldn't you see this example as being credible????
Why are you so excited?
Later, after he'd gotten into his research he did see the woman as credible.
No need to believe. You just have to discriminate between knower and the known, object from the subject. Actually, our physical bodies are not our real selves. Body is just a dumb,mute flesh,meat, blood, bones, ever changing aggregate. How can a dumb, mute Substance be' I'. I am the subject, the experiencer, the witness, an observer. I am different from my body. I use the body for purpose.
Shame that the surgeon couldn’t ware a coloured coat. would be a memorable thing as the surgeon is usually noticed.
Great interview but I wish they would have brought up reincarnation.
It's a wholly different field. I suggest checking out the work of both Prof. Ian Stephenson and Prof. Jim Tucker. They have both written books and have multiple videos on RUclips.
We did not evolve. God gave us life and his Son Jesus gives us eternal life. There is eternity in the heart of man. It will be forever.
So, you believe exactly what you we're told to believe...or else!
All you have to do is watch your thoughts…then you realise you are not your brain
I can help you make sense of them: there’s no need to leave your body if you are possessed by a demon (who can read minds and has supernatural abilities. Why is it so common? Because people are not being told the true gospel of simply trusting Christ and what he accomplished on the cross and by his resurrection. You cannot have a NDE if you’re saved and sealed into Christ Jesus. (The patient that saw the nurse received information from demons!)
Grow up
Lol Deborah... What are you smoking?
