Pascal obtained his BSc Hons from Aberdeen University in Neuroscience with Psychology, researching the neurotrophic effects of Omega-3 fatty-acids, and graduated with an MSc from University College London in Clinical Mental Health Sciences in 2018, exploring wellbeing changes associated with the DMT experience.

He is currently a PhD student at University of Greenwich with Dr. David Luke, investigating psychedelic and spiritual experiences, specifically the phenomenology and physiology of the DMT and near-death experience (NDE). He has a particular interest in how the scientific method can be harnessed, not least using psychedelics as ideal tools, to investigate the nature and transformative capacity of mystical-type and other ‘exceptional human experiences’ – and how the continuum of the molecular mechanisms to the humanistic experience of death and dying will inevitably illuminate the nature of life.

His interests include psychedelic experiences and/or near-death experiences, neurobiological and subjective mechanisms of psychotherapeutic effects; Neural correlates; Experiential phenomenology.

Dr. Mark Pitstick | After Death Communication Shatters Materialism | Oct. 20, 2020

Dr. Mark Pitstick has over 40 years’ experience in hospitals, pastoral counseling settings, mental health centers, and private practice. His training includes pre-medical degree, graduate in theology and pastoral counseling studies. Master’s in clinical psychology and doctorate in chiropractic health, which is no joke in my opinion, is fantastic. He has also provided suicide prevention counseling, and education to many, many people.

He began having clairvoyant experiences around the age of 10 and has been blessed with numerous miracles in his life, revelatory experiences, spiritually transformative experiences. Are you getting a kind of feeling for why I wanted to read all this in, pretty amazing? 

After working in hospitals with many suffering and dying adults and children, he was motivated to find sensible evidence-based answers to the questions that many people ask, actually, I think many people should be asking more on a regular basis. Who am I? Why am I here? What happens after I die? Will I see departed loved ones again? Is there God? Why is there so much suffering? 
 
So his books, documentary films, and workshops have grown to address all of these questions. Dr. Pitstick wrote Soul Proof, compelling evidence that no one really dies and Radiant Wellness: A Holistic Guide for Optimal Body, Mind & Spirit. And I think there’s another book in there that I may or may not have mentioned, but I’m sure we will get Mark to talk about it.

David Ditchfield | From Near Death to New Life | Legalise Freedom Radio | June 11, 2020

David Ditchfield discusses his book 'Shine On: The Remarkable Story of How I Fell Under a Speeding Train, Journeyed to the Afterlife, and the Astonishing Proof I Brought Back With Me'.

Across thousands of years, people have described one of the most astonishing of all human phenomena: the near-death experience, or NDE. A near-death experience is a profound psychological event that may occur to a person close to death or in extreme physical or emotional crisis.

The associated emotions are intense, and most commonly include peace, love, and bliss, although a substantial minority are marked by terror, anxiety, or despair. Most people come away from the experience with an unshakable belief that they have learned something of immeasurable importance about the purpose of life. The more powerful the NDE, the more profound the after effects. The ambitious reset their priorities. Atheists change their values. Doctors rethink their beliefs.

In the modern world, dominated by scientific reductionism, NDEs are generally viewed as mere chemical by-products of a dying brain. However, evidence that NDEs contain a profoundly important message for humanity continues to pile up, and the accounts recorded in best-selling books such as Raymond Moody's Life After Life and Kenneth Ring's Lessons From the Light are both fascinating and deeply moving. David Ditchfield returned from his near-death experience with amazing artistic abilities previously unknown to him, and this is his story. -legalise-freedom.com

Russell Brinegar | Overlords of the Singularity: The Manipulation of Humankind by Hidden UFO Intelligences and the Quest for Transcendence

Synopsis
Following a near-death experience that prompted a personal awakening to the underlying, interdimensional nature of reality, we discuss insights into the realm of the paranormal. Ghosts, cryptids, flying saucers, and ufonauts. UFO lore and its societal impact are analyzed, along with the symbiotic relationship between science and science fiction.

We will examine the mission of the flying saucers regarding the impending technological Singularity, the advent of sentient artificial intelligence, and Transhumanism, all predicted by futurists to occur sometime between 2045-2080. We give you food for thought regarding Earth's UFO mystery, and the ultimate cosmic destiny of humankind. -veritasradio.com

Bio
Russ Brinegar was born in 1955 and spent his childhood in Titusville, Florida, on the "Space Coast. He was fortunate enough to watch all the Apollo launches to the Moon from a distance of about 5 miles across the Indian River.

At the age of 17, he joined the 101st Airborne at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, for a period of 2 years. Following the Army, he returned to Bloomington, Indiana, where his family had moved back to when he was in the service.

Russ went into sales, and yearned to interact with Humanity on a higher level than selling them things, so at age 37 he attended college to earn a Bachelors Degree in Occupational Therapy. Since graduation in 1997 at the age of 42, he has worked as an Occupational Therapist in Long Term Care settings until retirement in September of 2017 at age 62. For the first 54 years of his life, he was a "material reductionist, who believed that consciousness was an epiphenomenon of the brain, and that when the brain dies, every part of a person died with it, an eternity of unconsciousness.

However, on August 18, 2009, while mowing his grass, he had a heart attack along with a near-death experience that revealed the underlying multidimensional nature of reality. Since that event, Russ has diligently pursued research into the so-called "paranormal" in an attempt to understand exactly what happened to him that day, and over the years came to some rather shocking conclusions that are elaborated in his 2016 book, "Overlords of the Singularity: The Manipulation of Humankind by Hidden UFO Intelligences and the Quest for Transcendence. Russ has since appeared as a radio guest on several formats radio programs.

Untimely Departure | Near Death Experience Documentary by Sonia Barkallah

Source: s17.tv



Millions of people all over the world tell the same, rather disturbing story: the feeling of coming out of their bodies, watching doctors bring them back to life, hearing surgeons talking to each other and seeing a tunnel with a light at the end. This experience has changed their lives, to the extent that they no longer fear death. This phenomenon was long considered to be obscure and the subject of mockery, but now, many scientists are taking an interest and asking questions: How could these people perceive and memorise scenes from when they were brought back to life when they were unconscious, in a coma or even declared to be clinically dead?

This documentary brings together cardiologists, neurologists, anaesthetist-ICU doctors, doctors, and psychologists. They tell their tale uninhibitedly, lifting the taboo of what turns out to be a goldmine of knowledge for science and Mankind. Leaving the theory of hallucination behind once and for all, and instead focusing on a possible delocalisation of our consciousness, we understand that the hint of a new paradigm is gradually taking shape. -s17.tv

Anthony Peake | Astral Travel, Out of Body Experience & Near Death Experience | Capricorn Radio | Feb. 2, 2015

Source: capricornradio.com, anthonypeake.com



Anthony Peake takes us on an historical, theological and mystical journey through the history of the out-of-body experience in all its varieties and forms, such as Astral Projection and Near Death Experiences. He also discusses the science behind the experience. He reviews some of the latest research in the fields of psychology, neurology and neuro-chemistry. It then attempts a short explanation of why quantum physics may be the unlikely source of answers to the mystery of the out-of-body experience.

An out-of-body experience (OBE or sometimes OOBE) is an experience that typically involves a sensation of floating outside one's body and, in some cases, perceiving one's physical body from a place outside one's body (autos copy).

The term out-of-body experience was introduced in 1943 by George N. M. Tyrrell in his book Apparitions, and was adopted by researchers such as Celia Green and Robert Monroe as an alternative to belief-centric labels such as "astral projection", "soul travel", or "spirit walking". OBEs can be induced by brain traumas, sensory deprivation, near-death experiences, dissociative and psychedelic drugs, dehydration, sleep, and electrical stimulation of the brain, among others. It can also be deliberately induced by some. One in ten people have an OBE once, or more commonly, several times in their life.

Astral projection (or astral travel) is an interpretation of out-of-body experience (OBE) that assumes the existence of an "astral body" separate from the physical body and capable of travelling outside it. Astral projection or travel denotes the astral body leaving the physical body to travel in an astral plane. The idea of astral travel is rooted in common worldwide religious accounts of the afterlife.

Pim van Lommel | Consciousness and Near Death Experiences

Source: pimvanlommel.nl



About Pim van Lommel
For more than twenty years cardiologist Pim van Lommel has studied near-death experiences (NDEs) in patients who survived a cardiac arrest. In 2001, he and his fellow researchers published a study on Near Death Experiences in the renowned medical journal The Lancet. He, then, wrote the Dutch bestseller Endless Consciousness in 2007; over 100.000 copies were sold in the first year.

The NDE is an authentic experience which cannot be attributed to imagination, psychosis or oxygen deprivation. After such an profound experience, patient’s personalities underwent a permanent change. In Van Lommel’s opinion, the current views on the relationship between the brain and consciousness held by most physicians, philosophers and psychologists is too narrow for a proper understanding of the NDE phenomenon. The author provides examples and ways that our consciousness does not always coincide with brain functions; that consciousness can even be experienced separate from the body. -pimvanlommel.nl

Dannion Brinkley | Secrets Revealed From Near-Death Experiences | Veritas Radio

This portion is being provided as a courtesy from Veritas Radio. To listen to more of this exclusive interview proceed to veritasradio.com

Synopsis
In 1975, during a thunderstorm, Dannion Brinkley was talking on the telephone when a bolt of lightning hit the phone line, sending thousands of volts into his head and down through his body. Brinkley was thrown across the room, and later reported seeing his lifeless body spread prone, as his then-girlfriend found him and paramedics arrived. Obviously disoriented, in his spirit-form above the scene, he wondered what the excitement was about, since (as he put it) "Everybody was okay...." He saw auras around everybody in the room except his own body below -- a pretty big hint that he was, in fact, dead.

We discussed, not only the first event in 1975, but two more near-death experiences. During these experiences Dannion was infused with knowledge about our future and what his purpose in returning to life would be. He calls the source of this information the "Box of Knowledge". Among the visions given to him, he saw a North American Union; the militarization of our southern border; and even an implatable nanochip that would be forced on the population. This nanochip would be controlled at long distances and it could be either used for positive or negative purposes. Negative purposes could be used to release cyanide to any "undesirable" or anyone wishing to remove the chip. It can also be used to locate lost children or even military personnel captured by the enemy. It can also be used to eliminate military personnel that goes rogue. Imagine the implications.

There is no reason why so many people have to wait until they pass on to enjoy life. We are promised a paradise in heaven. We can make that heaven right here on Earth. The biggest obstacle is chronic stress. Dannion's mission, in addition to help those who are close to dying, was to put into place an environment of peace. His message is very simple. We have no idea how lucky we are to be alive and be ourselves right here and right now. -veritasradio.com

Dr. Pim Van Lommel's Scientific Studies on Near-Death Experiences and Consciousness, May 2013

Source: liloumace youtube



Van Lommel is best known for his scientific work on the subjects of near-death experiences and consciousness, including a prospective study published in the medical journal The Lancet.

He is also the author of the 2007 Dutch book titled Endless Consciousness: A scientific approach to the near-death experience (Eindeloos Bewustzijn: een wetenschappelijke visie op de Bijna-Dood Ervaring), which has been translated to German, English, French and Spanish (English translation: Consciousness Beyond Life, The Science of the Near-Death Experience", Harper Collins, 2010). In his book Consciousness Beyond Life: The Science of the Near-Death Experience, he postulates a model where consciousness is beyond neurological activities of the brain.

He suggests that the brain is merely a terminal for accessing consciousness which is nonlocal (i.e. situated outside the physical body). In this model the brain is analogous to a computer terminal accessing a mainframe or the internet. He further hypothesizes that noncoding DNA and quantum mechanics would make such nonlocal access possible and this model can explain how near-death experiences can be experienced and remembered by people whose brain had no measurable activity.

Van Lommel studied medicine at Utrecht University, specializing in cardiology. He worked as a cardiologist at the Rijnstate Hospital, Arnhem, for 26 years (1977-2003).

Tom Campbell | "Afterlife" Within The Context Of A Big TOE...And More

Source: mybigTOE.com



September 28, 2012–In this interview, Tom expands on questions that have received much attention in some of his previous interviews, and those are "What happens after we die?", and How can one "know" these things? And, from "Who are we in this reality?, what are the real consequences (in detail) of our good and not so good choices?

His theory from his book My Big TOE rests on the conclusion that we are living in a virtual reality simulation, and that all of reality is information at the core.

With this in mind, he answers the questions of afterlife and how we can know about the process involved in transitioning from "here" to "there". He normalizes the "paranormal".

His theory logically bridges Quantum Mechanics and Relativity, thus explaining the much sought after question of what is "other" that Edward Fredkin referred to in his presentations.

He also comments on Dr. Bruce Lipton's work "The Biology of Belief."

In one of his most recent interviews with scientist Dean Radin, Dean is quoted as saying (in reference to his experiments with the paranormal) , "Proof is about alcohol, I don't need proof, I have evidence" Evidence (your own subjective evidence) is what Tom values as well.
