Dear Sir,
I listened your show in npr. In my Tamil culture, it was well researched and well documented about 200 years ago by a saint named "Vallalar". Probably, it can answer almost all of your questions and may help to complete all you research question. Are you interested?
Thanking you,
Sincerely,
Arivoli
Great interview with Bruce. I've participated in many of his NDE studies over the years. Good to hear him speak about his findings. Click on my name to read about my near-death experience while drowning.
I enjoyed the interview with Dr. Greyson. I am a emergency services evaluator and have worked extensively with the suicidal population. I am just now in the beginning stage of developing my doctoral prospectus as related to the near-death experience and suicide.
I'm curious as to why it appears so difficult and complicated to fathom the concept of the consciousness surviving death of the brain. I remember during my early college days, that basic scientific theory purports that matter and energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transformed. Therefore, does it not make logical sense to assume that there would be a transformation of the consciousness, at the time of and following physical death just as the brain and body transform in appearance and physical existence, as the remains breakdown to chemical elements? They don't disappear - they change form to another condition or state of existence. In that sense, there is no cessation of existence. "Though ye be blind, yet shall ye see..."
