I was an Ambulance EMT for many years. I developed the habit of speaking calmly and lovingly to those that were dying, or have already died. Just like talking a friend. Regardless of how chaotic things can be sometimes in tragic situations like car accidents, somehow I knew that they could hear me. I hope it helped. Someday, I'll know for sure.
That’s beautiful
God bless you for doing that!
Beautiful
My brother ... in the back of an ambulance ... thank you Peaceful tears now.
Me too
Watching this stuff to try to deal with anxiety. If you’re here for the same reason, you’re not alone
Keeps me up at night without fail

Stop thinking and obsessing about the same bloody thing all the time. Thats what causing your anxiety, force yourself to think of something else. Something pleasant.

My 4 year old passed from brain cancer she was the most sweetest loving little girl. She didn’t deserve any of that 😢💔 having to watch your child be born into this world and leave this world in that horrible way is the worst. I’m here because these stories bring me comfort and I hope one day I will be able to hold her again and hear her laugh as well ❤
Sorry for your lost ❤
....😢😢😢
How tragic and heartbreaking…as a father of three I could not imagine losing a child. My hope for you is that someday you will be reunited and will have the chance to walk hand in hand with your little girl again. ❤️
I'm sorry for your pain her loss and the world is lesser with out your Lil girl in it
Bless you and your little angel.
My wife passed away last year in July after a short illness. Mhsrip. Some time before she died( months before)she told me how she should have died 8 years before when she was giving birth to our last born! During the experience she said she saw 'herself' leaving her struggling body on the delivery bed and could see her body lying there and the medical personnel scurrying around to save her. She said it felt a million times better in that state and didn't really want to come back to her frail body giving birth. She then said she felt a gentle force guiding her back and the next thing she was back in her body! She was to stay another 8 years until she passed on last year July. God gave us 8 bonus years! How beautiful!
Thank you for sharing
Thank you and my condolences on the death of your wife. Yk, there’s something about taking care of our partner and rowing them to the edge of the River Styx that opens one’s own heart, soul, whatever in ways that are inexplicable. I felt honored, privileged to care for my late husband on his last journey. Please take care of yourself and thanks for your comment.
Love from Alaska
I’m k really sorry 😞 for your loss
So sorry for your loss! But like you said you got 8 more years, but I can’t forget the child who now has no mother! I hope you have lots of support from family and friends!
I am one of those people who died. 40 years ago, I had a brain aneurysm. Dying was the most important event of my life. I was told that I couldn't stay because I had to do something here on earth. I have tried every day since then to find out what I am supposed to do so I can go back. There is a lot I can say about this; however, some people don't want to know because it doesn't fit with their ideas on religion. When I say that there is no religion in heaven - that religion is something created by men - they are horrified and turn away. They don't want to hear that all people are accepted. They only want their own kind to go to heaven.
Thank you for this!
That's right there's no religion 😈👿👺👹💀🙊🙉🙈🤡👍
Have you ever thought that tour purpose is to simply be here? You are going to go back. It's where we all go, like you said. I have had a life changing spiritual experience that showed me that we all go to the same place no matter who we are, as well. The love of whatever it is that created this place is beyond human comprehension and beyond our human condition. I wish more people would open their hearts and minds to the truth that we all go to the same place and that all religions are only man made concepts and hold little to no truth about where we go when the body dies. Also, thank you for sharing.
I worked in a nursing home, I always told dying patients how happy I am to know them and that they brought joy to my life, and I thanked them.
That is such a wonderful thing to say to them. Thank you ❤
Beautiful ♥️🙏
I've worked in carehomes for years too and for most patients ur right but there's that % of jerks that just never change and feel entitled till they drop.
May you be blessed with long life for your unceasing kindness.
You made my eyes tear up because of people like you, I believe in angels. Thank you. God bless you.
While my brother was being removed from life support I couldn’t just stand there so I went and sat on the floor just outside of his room. All of a sudden I felt him race once around my shoulders and neck area then shoot up and out of a window just across from where I sat. He didn’t look back and as I think back on this last memory of him all I feel is his excitement for wherever he was off to. This experience has given me a great deal of comfort for loved ones lost.
THANK YOU for sharing this delightful experience!!! 😘 Twenty-two months ago, my youngest child, Dmitri, who was 34 at the time of his passing appeared to one of his sisters and spoke to her. He said "Don't cry for me. I am much better here." She then asked for a sign that it was really him and not her imagination. "Like a butterfly or a bird" she suggested to him. Shortly thereafter she got BOTH signs in a very dramatic way! It helped a lot to get me doing the research about the evidence that life goes on! ❤🩹
Beautiful thank you for sharing.
Really? Wow! Can you tell more about this maybe?
Racing around, excitement for wherever he was off to - to me this sounds like a childlike adventure. Was he young when he died? Do you feel he was rejuvenated by the process? I almost died by choking when I was maybe 10, and after the indescribable panic, I felt calm, and actually excited to see what the next step was. It was a new adventure that I was ready to begin without fear. I never gained any insight to what that adventure was about, only that fear was irrelevant.
Appreciate ur brief story friend . I think when we surrender the physical body , the universe is waiting to be explored . Respect
"Death is not extinguishing the light; it is putting out the lamp as dawn has come"
❤
That's a beautiful thought.
or maybe... just maybe, it's your light bulb burning out when you were in the middle of reading a book. (which is why it's a good idea to keep extra light bulbs)
Aww, beautiful
Where is this quote from
I had a patient who was dying and was very agitated, I medicated him and sat him close to me in a recliner to monitor him. What I later noticed was so beautiful. I witnessed him with fixed pupils, no blinking, eyes glazed as he looked towards a set spot towards the ceiling smiling and blowing kisses! During this time he was doing hugging motion and I believe he had pets because I witnessed him acting as if he was playing with a dog. He was definitely transitioning and was in a great place and I was lucky enough to watch those beautiful moments! He passed about half hour after I left 😢I’ll never forget him and that experience but it was definitely a beautiful day ❤❤
Thank you for sharing that story. It gives me hope. 🐾
We all going to a beautiful place after death 😊
My eye got watery after reading that
@johntitorii6676 he was a pastor and it truly was so amazing to watch!
As long as you are in your prime years and living your life to the full, this might pass unnoticed by the endless stream of KZhead videos, but for me in my autumn years this has been extremely inspiring and meaningful to watch.
Seems to me that most of these near-death people became authors of a book that they sold. Seems that their is a monetary motivation
Not most ... no The real sharing Is real caring = It’s a gift You want to keep giving ...
@@williamkinkade2538I have spoke to many propel on my 50 years who told me, in sometimes very personal and rare ways (in other words they will say they rarely share it) that didn’t write books about it

I’m 33 and can’t stop thinking about death, mortality and infinity
I was involved in a car accident where a guy fell asleep and crossed the centre line directly into the path of a 50 ton truck. I jumped into the car (what was left of it) and comforted the guy as he passed over. There was not much else i could do but talk to him. I held his hand and said in a light hearted manor , Pffft you'll be fine mate, walk it off its just a flesh wound, nothing to worry about I'm right here with you etc. It sounds a bit cringe here and now but at the time it felt like the rite thing to do.
Very brave and kind for you to do that.
I'm sure it was the right thing to do! Thank you for your courage and kindness! 💝
There’s nothing cringing about that story.
You did amazing job ❤😢 😔
I don’t know this for sure… but for who you talk to I am guessing it was exactly what he needed to hear
Very interesting documentary indeed worth watching. I had an NDE (Near Death Experience), 4 years ago in between two surgeries due to complications. It was never confirmed by doctors that I was actually in cardiac arrest as I was not on any monitors, however I am very sure it happened as I popped out of my body and was floating above my body seeing the doctors checking out the complication after my first surgery causing immense pain and made it impossible for me to breathe. I went into a tunnel and talked (telepathicly) with a being/energy that was not visible for me who told me everything was going to be alright. At that moment I was able to switch back seeing the doctors work on me but I decided to go back in the tunnel and I told this being/energy that I wanted to go "home", a flickering light about 600 feet away in the tunnel... But I guess I wasn't allowed to go there yet as a huge hand the size of my chest came out of the light in the tunnel and pushed me back from the tunnel into my body. I then remember I was wheeled into the operating room and I was put to sleep for the second surgery. I have held this to me for 3 years and only since a year I started speaking about this with family and friends and have extensively researched these experiences. Since that time I have become very spiritual and am no longer afraid of death. Actually I am secretly missing that place so much, wanting to go back as it was absolute bliss and peace. It is comforting to know that I will die some day and hopefully witness this again. If you're a person that is afraid of death, don't be, it will be absolute bliss, peace and all problems will immediately go away and it won't be the "end" of "you". Much love to all ❤
thanks for sharing your story. did you have 360 deg vision? you should be a guest on jeff mara or some of the other NDE podcasts
You are so fortunate to have an experience like that to consider and learn from and analyze. I have been trying to astral project, but nothing on that front yet. Glad you came back, but how lucky to feel like you have an answer to some of your questions
Thanks so much for sharing❤
Thank you for sharing this
@@gristamshackleford2102 no the vision was quite normal but I could float around over my body and even could visit other rooms next to where I was having this episode. In the tunnel it really felt I was floating in space.
This is the generation where science and spirituality begin to merge.🦋 Beautiful presentation. Thank you.🙏🏽
Yes!!!
Sci Spi
No.
Spirituality and Quantum Physics are starting to parallel. I wonder how this will impact religion.
Hope this shift will got acceleration
During my near death experience I could hear everyone in the room. I could feel their emotions. I felt their compassion. Their shock at what was unfolding in front of them. I could hear the man next to me say "she's stopped breathing". And saying" her lips have gone blue. She's stopped breathing. Does anyone know CPR. Breathe. Breathe." It was clear, vivid and I have never felt so alive or awake or aware as I did in that moment. I hope that my experience helps someone else and brings hope.
I would say our bodies localize consciousness and in your death your consciousness expanded outwards, not having physical restrictions.
I had a weird experience, that wasn't an NDE but felt very much like how people describe them, and that was something that was very memorable for me- I could feel the emotions of those around me.
Reflection is both key and lock. "Before I start, I must see my end. Destination known, my mind's journey now begins. Upon my chariot, heart and soul's fate revealed. In time, all points converge; hope's strength resteeled. But to earn final peace at the universe's endless refrain, we must see all in nothingness... before we start again." --A.B. (DD1) 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨
Ill make sure nobody is in room making such frightening commentary when im dying. But perhaps ill die some other way. Just hope its peaceful. NDE s mean little as they are near death only. My mother was near death for 5 days.
I've so much respect for Parnia and his team. He's both skeptical enough not to jump to conclusions and open minded enough to not rule anything out, and has fully convinced me that there is a transcendental element of NDEs thst goes beyond the brain or body.
Nicely said!
Open minds and hearts.. Science is about to blossom! 🌸
I agree
Since my little dog passed away, I've felt an insatiable thirst for information on these topics. Two days ago, my brother came over while I was watching KZhead videos about near-death experiences. He asked what I was watching, and I explained. Turns out, he had no idea about near-death experiences. As I explained, his expression completely changed: he started listening, half laughing, and ended up looking astonished and thoughtful. To my surprise, he said, "Remember that time I crashed my bike into a tree, lost consciousness, and the ambulance took me to the hospital, taking almost an hour to wake up?" I confirmed that I did remember perfectly. Then, he shared something astounding: "I experienced something too. I saw my life flash before my eyes from birth to the moment of the accident, like slides, very fast flashes, at an incredible speed, but I could see everything in detail. In the end, a huge white light appeared, but it wasn't a normal white light; it was indescribable with words. As I approached, I felt like I was being absorbed, and that's when I woke up." When I asked why he had never mentioned it, he said he had thought a lot about it but couldn't find the words to describe it, so he let it go. My brother had a Near-Death Experience (NDE) without realizing it, making me wonder how many more people might have similar experiences without sharing them.
That's really cool! What a nice surprise?
Apparently 20 million americans have reported NDE's, I myself had an outer body experience when I was in the army and hadnt slept for 2 days, an overwhelming beautiful feeling (like a falling sensation) in my stomach lifting me 20 ft above my body and seeing the cars and road and my troop leader down below. There is definately something there.
I think many many people have had NDE. I had one as a 6 year old when I was very ill. And many years later an out of body experience when I had sepsis.
I've had quite a few out of body experiences. Unlike ndes I was using magic mushrooms that grew out of cow manure. For some reason watching this brought it back to me. It's been a long time since I thought about it. But the two are similar. There's a reason "they" absolutely don't want people experimenting with it. I know why. They have no power over you ! Let that soak in.
I am truly amazed by your story! It's absolutely incredible. I can't express how sorry I am to hear about the loss of your beloved little dog. As a fellow dog (pug) owner, I understand how devastating it must be for you. Please know that you were an exceptional parent to your pup, and I hope you can find solace in that.
This is exactly what the world needs. At a time of so much suffering, eye opening research like this might help people come to realise that what we fight for, what we war for, are not what really matters. Our selves are more than this, we shouldn't have to fight for resources here l, we should share them, we are all in this together.
Well said.
Beautifully put ❤love to you all out there.🙏🙏😊
What a cliche'... First time it has been used in a sentence that is accurate and true. Not for an agenda. ❤
Thank you for this share. May we all know peace... and it starts within😊
Agreed. Unfortunately ego gets in the way.
This feels like a watershed moment for the medical community, to be acknowledging these phenomena with respect and dignity. With so many NYU medical specialists and others from reputable institutions to be featured in this documentary really is a big deal.
There is a lot going on in the world. People are frightened, yet a spiritual revolution also seems to be under way too. Traditional religion is being replaced with something new. And that new thing is gaining legitimacy in the sciences too. And it all dovetails with esoteric traditions from all over the world.
It shouldn't be a big deal. Physicians as as human as you are. The new evidence he talked about concerned a more extended in-between step between life and death, though Parnia asserts it doesn't. We're playing with definitions, which is different from finding answers. There is a point when the person is no longer associated with the body, or any part of it that remains. Being vaporized in an explosion is different from all of these examples. The person cannot be called back to life. All of these stories involve persons who remained associated with viable bodies. That's the only case we can learn about from this data, and to me that's not death.
Agreed. Serves to legitimize further the need for continued discussion of these phenomena within the realm of public discourse.
@@beenaplumber8379 I guess we'll find out when we die then, I'll see you up there friend
@@beenaplumber8379I shared this perspective initially. The point missed in this summary would be the ability for hyper-acute sensation in these patients patients as well as the continuity between there experiences both of which are currently unexplainable. As we further expand the grey zone between life and death the more prevalent these cases become. Traditionally these patient reports would be dismissed and now they are being explored. This shift in expert opinion could potentially be significant in future discovery don’t you think?
We dont die. Dying is transitioning to another state of Being. We are truly Eternal as the Universe and we are an Energy Based Being
Well said, Alex!
My philosophy on it, just based off my personal experience. Each person’s experience and outcome may differ depending on how they were taught, and programed. I had a NDE and remembered it clearly. If it was in a past life then it was, but I’m pretty sure it was definitely this lifetime due to the arthritis I felt, but the rest are visions and past dreams, and it’s sprinkled in with different dreams that make no sense, yet have meaning to them. But, in this lifetime I learned about muscle mind connection, in relationship to the spirit that each one of us has, there’s also a mind spirit connection to. Sure you die in the flesh, and that’s the subconscious, awareness and consciousness are very similar to spirit mind connection, and that’s the culprit of Deja vu. In the medical field they call it epilepsy. So there’s 2 things going on, we turn into pure consciousness when we die, and when we’re reborn, we go back to operating off the subconscious or what we been taught from the previous past which is our future self, as the old earth dies the new earth begins. Think of it like a cleansing process.
No, we do die
Haha, if that makes you feel good to believe that by all means..
That’s wishful thinking.
I have to say this is the best documentary I have seen on this subject in the way it weaves hard medical science plus patients’ experiences. I have recommended it to all of my medical colleagues. Sam Parnia continues to do excellent work in this subject.
It's worth watching then, Ian?
You should get the Big Book Of Near Death Experiences written by Dr Pemberthy. Its like an inch and a quarter thick and is AMAZING as its ifo collected over her career of investigating NDEs, shared NDEs, etc. Its written for lay people so its super easy to understand...highly recommend👍!!!
@@Existentialist946they dont know anything more then you and i
I had a near death experience while at nyu Langone 2 1/2 years ago. It was right before I woke up in the ICU on a ventilator keeping me alive for 4 days til they moved me to a regular room. I was telling the story to a friend while my nurse took notes on everything I said. My NDE was completely different from where most people go to when they have an NDE and completely different from what I saw and experienced when my mom passed away. I saw her Light /soul right when she passed away.. It was hovering as a big ball of light about 6/7ft away from me. I was crying my eyes out and although there was no bodily form I knew it was my mom looking at me. It only lasted about a minute and shot out the hospital door faster than anything I've ever seen move. I already wasn't scared of death as I'd come close to dying a couple of times when I was younger. This was a true gift and really made me realize death is not the end. My NDE was something else. It was a Buddhist near death. I'm not Buddhist though I do practice Buddhist meditations. All I can say is.. Before I came back I was in the Bardo which is the place Buddhists believe we go to in between dying and being reborn. Before I came back I was in a place where I was just consciousness and seeing what I knew was my DNA flowing endlessly in building blocks. Swirling and flowing non stop. I asked where I was.. And a voice that I can only describe as the sound of God answered and said "you are in the Bardo state of dying and being reborn". That was all. From there I felt totally at peace and if I died at that moment I would have been fine. I never believed in reincarnation before but I've had to rethink that and now believe people's deaths have different outcomes. I know my mom went to the light or wherever souls go to. Where as I think I might be coming back when my time in this body is up. I've spoken with Buddhists that I know and they also believe I was in the Bardo. I don't know how or why I came back but I'm 100% positive that death is not the end and really not something to fear. It was very much like I was seeing the world through new eyes or a babies eyes when I came back! I remember just staring out the windows for about 12 hours amazed at everything I was seeing across the east river along with the helicopters that were taking off and landing across the street from the hospital room I was in. It was so beautiful. It wasn't fun being kept alive by a ventilator and there's alot more I can say about that. But if you're reading this and have any fear of death there's truly absolutely nothing to fear 🙏💜
I believe in God and Heaven. Whatever you believe that happens then just know our life here is a journey we are on while we are on earth. Make good choices while here
Thank you. Your story offers great comfort.
Wow. Thanks for sharing
We are here to experience. We shouldn't take others or ourselves too seriously. We should try our best and let go of the rest.
Congratulations you may now move on to the 5th Dimension and continue your spiritual growth if you wish. 🙏
You know when I see others in daily lives and doing the things that some people do that make it so clear that they have completely zero awareness of what and who they really are and what the hell their doing here and just have to question everything I think it is that I know. I know this statement in itself probably makes no sense to most people which proves my point exactly
yeah, those millions and billions that have suffered terribly in human history- that's just a joke? If it is a joke- the joke is on us.
@@schmuelschperling1459 nothing happens to us rather everything manifests for us for our benefit. Our spiritual growth depends on both light and darkness 🙏
But people are having life reviews. So there might be a point. Wonder what happens after that life review, especially if you got a bad one..... ...
My Mom died a year ago. She was a single parent and struggled to raise me. It wasn't till she was laying beside me in her hospital bed with a BP of 50/30 that I asked her to forgive me for anything bad I had done and being frustrated and angry sometimes when I was her caretaker for 3 years. This video helped me realize that I think she heard me. She died the next day.
I too cared for my parents. Both, mom with Alzheimers and father with dementia. All on me. My brother was completely useless. I became frustrated and lost it a couple of times, and even now 15 years after their passing, it makes me feel sick to my stomach that I did. But then I remind myself I'm only human too. It was so much for one person to take on.
My mom died in May. Same here, she was grumpy and I was exhausted and mad she didnt take care of herself and was in the shape she was in. We both said we were sorry before she passed and reassured each other we loved each other. Still beating myself up, even though I know I shouldn't I miss her everyday.
ML to you. 🤗❤
My Grandfather had an experience where he died for around 10 minutes. He said he went to a place he didn't want to leave. He said he was at peace and had never seen such a beautiful place in his entire life. At the same time, my Nan was praying for him in her garden. She was pregnant with my Uncle at the time, he's the youngest of 3 boys. My Grandfather said he could hear my Nan's prayer word to word. He was told his time wasn't up yet. When my Nan heard the story from him, she was shocked to the core. He repeated her prayer word to word. Years later, after all his boys were grown up, he unfortunately passed away from a brain tumour. During the whole time he was treated with palliative care, he told everyone he wasn't scared of death. He passed away peacefully. I miss him so much, but I can't wait to be reunited with him when my time is up. His story has always given me hope, and this video and many others too. I'm not scared of death anymore.
I get nightmares of judgement and hell sometimes for my behavior when i was younger which I hope I will be forgiven for since I changed my ways
@@PraveenSriram if you ask to be forgiven, you’ll be forgiven. Don’t stress it
My Grandfather had a very similar experience, many years ago. He always said he did not want to come back! He claims "they" all said the same thing over and over: it's not your time, you aren't supposed to be here and you must go back. It really depressed him, and he cried when he was revived. Because of his experience, I no longer fear death. I'm looking forward to seeing how his afterlife turned out and I know I'll be OK in my own. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I'm 68. Throughout my whole life, I have heard everyone say how serene it felt as they slipped away from life. That, to me, is why I don't feel any need to go through big or expensive funerals, wakes or demanding keeping the remains of one close to me. It's the wrong focus. The spirit has left, is at peace and happier than ever, & THAT should be the focus. All that's left is a shell. Let it fertilize the earth as our ancestors did. If survivors focused on the incredible positivity of "life after death" & looking to meeting up with them one day instead of horrid loss, & re-creating OUR own pain of death, we all would live more peaceful lives on earth, too.
One day, my series might truly help mankind to legitimately understand. But Nae, Naesst; collectively, it is far from prepared. This is unfortunate but not unexpected. "Before I start, I must see my end. Destination known, my mind's journey now begins. Upon my chariot, heart and soul's fate revealed. In time, all points converge; hope's strength resteeled. But to earn final peace at the universe's endless refrain, we must see all in nothingness... before we start again." --A.B. (DD1) 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨
Incredible documentary. It is refreshing to see a panel of open-minded doctors, scientists, and researchers share what they have discovered on a subject that has such huge implications. Thank you for putting this together.
I was almost killed in the line of duty and I remember thinking “this isn’t so bad”. 40 years later I was at another job/career and exposed to organophosphates and was on my way to the hospital with a blood pressure of 185/165 the inside of the ambulance was like being in a cave with a little light from a candle a long ways away. They brought me back from the edge again. Death is easy, living is hard.
Dr Parnia is playing a large part in the research into what happens after the death of the body. One of the most important questions in life.
Im a US Army combat veteran. On April 16th, 2011, i was injured in the ambush on our convoy, in Pech River Valley, Kunar Province, Afghanistan. I was medevaced, first to FOB Blessing, then flown all the way to Bagram, and eventually to the military Hospital in Landstuhl, Germany. But to make a long story short. After days of being under, my doctor was telling me a story, when I first arrived, they where rushing me to the operation room through the halls on the gurney. At the time I was totally unconscious, and doctors didn't know, if I'll make it or not. However, when he was telling me the this, I started remembering stuff, and told him; Yes, I remember that!. He looked at me and said; No, its impossible, you couldn't remember it. You was completely out. We didn't know if you live or die!. But indeed I do remember it, to the littlest detail, bit it was like in the fog. Also, I remember it as it was not happening to me. It was more like a third person observation. Its weird, i can't even describe it in words. But after that experience, I 100% believe there is more to us than just our physical body.

I kept getting close to death many times before I got a pacemaker. Mostly at night when asleep and my heart rate was dropping below 20 bpm. One time in my early thirties I left my body and somehow my husband got caught up in the process. He saw and experienced everything I did. Word for word he told me what I saw. It terrified him but for me, it was my journey and I was ready. It stopped happening when I got a pacemaker.
You mean that your husband got somehow involved with your ethereal body, spirit or whatever we could call it in that moment? - or, was he out of his body too and simply involuntarily “ tied” to you? Or, was he watching with his physical eyes what was happening in the room? Beyond the room like when we see at the distance? - I am asking you because when I was young ( still are but not that young lol!) - I was suffering an involuntary abortion ( five months) and I felt very sick and energy less and sad and I eas wanting to die. I was desperately to die and during the process and being conscious - “ relaxed” but not too relaxed in reality - I was talking to the Dr and nurse and then suddenly I saw myself flying at an incredible velocity and seeing below of me something like very brilliant and colorful strands of lights. Something that we could compare ( not exacty ) with the lights we can see in old post cards, those photos of cities made at night. I was flying over those and then I entered in a dark space and began to fly upward and even more fast than before. Then I began to see some clarity and more and more until I could see an opening high above. I identify that place where I was flying as a tunel because I could feel its form even when I wasnt touching any wall. At a given moment I could barely see above like the form of a well in the side I could see but that was an instant only because an extremely brilliant and white light was engulfing everything. Light was incredibly brilliant but did not hurt the eyes, I simply could not see clear or look beyond. But yes, I could distinguish broken by light silhouettes like Casper the friendly ghost but in the form of… people/ humans? - No hair, no clothes, nothing but light forms that were looking down at me and saying “ hello” with their arms and hands. All involved in an indescribable radiance. I saw what I saw because someone let me saw it. I dont think that I know the people in the front of the “ well” but I felt that among them there were people I know. Then suddenly I began to be succioned back until I was left as I was before, eyes open or closed but not sleeping and still talking to the doctor and nurse that were taking notes. All was write down minute by minute. I was in my body because I could “ feel” that they were doing things on me ( and I was vomiting) but at the same time I was flying and entering a tunel etc… I think that was a lesson for me, thats why I could be relaxed but never unconscious or sleepy. I had been asking to die since the beginning of the day because I felt horribly, in unbearable pain, feverish, with broken lips, and very tired and sad etc… Time after I could compare the experience with that of seeing at the distance. The way I was seeing everything is similar as when I see at the distant, in a conscius way, automatically seeing other places * with my physicall eyes- In some cases detecting people with my mind first. - Distance is erased instantaneously to let me see what I need to see or what I am meant to see. They are involuntary experiences that I think sometimes are stimulated by the need to know something or solve a problem or because there were people next to me that I could not see with my eyes in the moment but that were where I was. Or because I was really next to see people I did not want to see but saw them ( different times different people) arriving to where I was and I could move before the person arrived. That was seeing with the eyes and not with the mind. Directly with the eyes beyond the materia and distance. ( positioning myself in a better position I could see the person when it arrived) I also indentified unknown people in the middle of a multitude. But again, it was important for me to know the person (s) before officially knowing it. ( them) I knew the person and the person (s) just emanated what I was needing to know. All this and more is part of our nature, of what we are spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally and vibrational. What you and your husband experienced is a lesson and proof to you ( such a great gift) that energy and life and love are fluent, present everywhere and eternal. ❤
Was he asleep? How did he experience it with you?
Raymond Moody has a term for what you’re describing something close to an “empathetic death experience.” Glad you’re still here and thanks for your comment. Best wishes, my friend.
Go Sam Parnia! This cutting-edge research in near death and death studies is incredible 🔥🔥🔥
We ARE the universe, we were somewhere before and will be after. Enjoy the beautiful gift of life!
Thank you!❤
Why would anyone choose to stay here if the “other life” is so much better? If it’s as blissful as these people suggest compared to Earth, then this life isn’t actually much of a gift is it? If anything it would be a punishment, which raises some interesting implications
Where in the world do you get that strange information?? We are the universe? Give me a break

I had one of those kinds of experiences when I was giving birth in 1986. However, I’d never heard of NDEs before and when I tried to tell my sister and the nurse, they treated me like I was hallucinating. After that, you’re too scared to discuss it and accept the experience.
Yeah, it's like when you're a pilot and see UFOs. You don't dare tell the FAA, or else they'll have you grounded and their docs will work to get your Pilots Med Certificate revoked.
Look up Pim Van Lommel, he is a Dutch cardiologist who has done lots of work on this.
Tell us your experience!
You know what you know. Sounds like a fascinating experience, your sister and nurse just didn’t get it.❤
Only by chronicling their own experiences combined with listening to other souls explaining THEIR journeys will mankind actually progress. Otherwise, the objectives will all end up failures. Good luck; yer gonna need it! 🙂 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨
Thank you Dr. Parnia and all the medical staff/ scientists who are open and willing to embrace that we are si much more than just our bodies. It gives me great hope for the future 🙏
Fantastic to see Drs talking seriously about this. The evidence can no longer be ignored.
Evidence of what exactly?
@@jeffdoyle1227evidence that consciousness still exists after death
@@jeffdoyle1227 people brains are shut down when they medically died and somehow describing every single thing the doctors did to help them, you cant have a conscience experience if your brain is shut down, yet 100,000's of people attest to having these experiences when they medically died
It's about time science started studying a recurring, consistent phenomenon. That's what science is supposed to do.

I used to fear death. Frequently feeling sad and grief sickened by the thought of not being me anymore and potentially not remembering my life or my personal experiences. After studying the crop circles in depth I discovered one source consciousness and learned that we never really die.
the crop circles? can you elaborate and/ or tell me what I can google search to begin going down that rabbit hole to understanding what you are saying? thank you in advance
Please explain the correlation
yeahh, crop circles 😂
Crop circles? One of the most idiotic gags in human history.
Probably not all of them.
Fascinating! Christmas day, 2004 I had emergency DHCA surgery for an aortic dissection. That's where they pack you in ice and cool your body to 18 degrees Celsius. Your heart stops beating and all brain function ceases. For all practical purposes, you're dead. After the surgeon finishes repairing the aorta the body can be gradually warmed and in essence, rebooted. It worked and I spent several days in the ICU, but healed up fine. All I remember is right before I woke up I was looking down and saw someone in a hospital bed from what seemed like 50-100 feet above. Someone was sitting by the bed. I realized it was me and the person looking down at me holding my hand was my son. He said "squeeze my hand if you hear me." I did and thought it odd that the first thing I'd see when I died would be my son. He wasn''t even dead. Slowly, I realized I wasn't dead either and had indeed beaten the 50/50 odds of surviving I was told I had when they wheeled me into surgery. I didn't see God, angels, dead relatives or anything like that, but the idea of death isn't so scary now. I know we go on. The thought of death now is a little like getting on a plane and taking off. I love flying, but always dread the takeoffs.
Thank you for sharing this profound experience. I also really appreciate your “dread the takeoff, but enjoy flying” analogy. 👍🏼
I think you were clearly having an out of body experience there (looking down on yourself (your body) and your son holding your hand. I have heard that so many times ! Best regards !
I'll never forget back in 2008 after having my first child. She was around 6 months at the time when I started having black outs possibly due to stress. One day I was laying down when I suddenly fell in a deep state of sleep except it didn't felt like I was sleeping it felt more like I was dying or drifting away in my sleep. I was surrounded by darkness and its as if I was traveling through a dark tunnel. Now I can't recall if there was anyone there with me but I was telepathically speaking to someone or something, even though I was sleeping I was also conscious. I remember traveling through darkness when I started to feel this glorious feeling, it felt so good I can't explain it. It was a feeling of love, warmed, no pain, pure love and I mean pure pure love. Now, even though I was having this feeling I could remember not wanting the feeling to go away. That is when I telepathically said I don't want to leave my daughter, now I can't remember if I was asked to stay or not but I do remember saying in my mind that I don't want to leave my daughter. And that was when I woke up. I was 20yrs when this happened to me and I can't forget it. I sometimes question myself, asking myself was I dreaming? But it couldn't have been a dream. That feeling that loving feeling If I was to choose between that feeling and a million bucks I would definitely choose that feeling . After having that happened to me I realized that I am very sensitive to my surroundings and people in general its as if I feel and can sense people's emotions. I realize that good and bad energy affects me which makes it hard for me to be around crowds of people. I have always felt different after having that experience back in 2008.
This is a new clarity that stands at the dawn of a new scientific age.
Absolutely brilliant. Thank you Mr Parnia and colleagues for all the work and interest!!
th8s makes me question the ethics of organ harvesting, which is not done on actually dead people, but from patients who are supposedly brain-dead.
Interesting take on this!
Thank you Dr Parnia and colleagues for sharing your research here for free to the public .....
I've had out of body experiences before and I was able to travel away from my body so I know 101% that something leaves our body when we "die" and we continue in some other energy form. I never would have accepted such a thing UNTIL it happened to me. You have to experience an OBE or an NDE to truly understand what I mean.
THAT IS TRUE....telepathy does exist...I remember when it happend to me?? its like TALKING but with no vocal just wisper in ur mind...
Tripping on shrooms cannot be quantified as having a NDE.
You don’t know 110%. That can just be a phenomenon that happens when the brain is losing functionality….
@@user-vn8jp2iw7z yup it really does exist. anyone who says it's not real is wrong and has been brainwashed lol
You obviously have no idea what you're talking about @@nomandad2000
If only Dr. Kubler-Ross were alive now to report her findings on KZhead on death and dying .... Her books are insightful.
Yes! Wonderful comment. ❤
Remember that she is not dead. 😊
An incredible insight to what death actually means and not to look at it as the end but somewhere our consciousness takes us. Dr. Parnia's research is pioneering and makes us really think about dying and what may be beyond it. Brilliant!
I had an NDE as a small child and it is the most profound experience of my life thus far,
I am a physician and a scientist at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. One of my missions is to share this knowledge that each of us is an immortal unit of consciousness, we just don't remember it, it's a way to have a meaningful life as a human.
Interesting. What is the source of the knowledge ?
Are you meaning like reincarnation?
@@suganthmuthaiyan3012a lot of human exploration and mysticism has gone into this. If you google "DNA and consciousness" there are interesting ideas coming from doctors and scientists about how consciousness is associated with genetics. In my own NDE I went through things that were not explicable through materialism.
Over the years, I came to the conclusion that the most important thing in life was my view of myself at deaths very first moment .Recently, on October 3, I died of cardiac arrest and was brought back by an emergency crew . I saw a still image of every moment in my life, but it was more than just that ,I could feel the emotions of every moment good and bad . May I suggest that is why all major religions and philosophies teach not to commit suicide to be experiencing those emotions in that state....and I could see myself from above ,then awaken in a hospital days later knowing full while what had happened
suicide or not you still experience\goto the afterlife.
@@user-ws3qt7uy7vdo not commit suicide because the pain will come in your life review
This happens to me when I dream sometimes. I wake up fully in the emotion.
I went into respiratory arrest whilst being given an anaesthetic. I have to say that I had no experience. However I had a near death experience 4 years afterwards and I did have an experience. It was so serene and beautiful. Words can't describe it.
Excellent documentary!
Its beautiful to see scientists studying subjects that have fascinated millions of people since time immemorial, is there life after death? Judging by the testimony of untold number of people who were resuscitated, many are convinced there is. I throughly enjoyed the whole documentary, very illuminating.
This is a great documentary. It takes courage to address this reality. Thank you.
When my father died in hospital after a brief but terminal illness I knew the very moment it happened. It had nothing to do with a last breath or anything physical. There simply came a time when his soul, spirit, you choose the word, departed his body. I didn’t see anything. It was simply a sense of instantaneous certainty that the essence of what had made that body on the bed my beloved father, had simply gone somewhere else.
Nice appearance by Dr Donald Hoffman. If you haven’t seen his work on consciousness, give it a look
I second this. Hoffman is onto something. He admits that he is probably not 100 percent correct. But the way he talks about the headset and Consciousness. Is awesome
I received 'insights' from my sister after she committed suicide in 1987. All in all 5 or 6 times during a period of ten years or so. In the beginning she shared her suicide had been un-necessary but that she had felt trapped in ideas that felt depressing and hopeless. After her death she realised there were options and solutions that she had not seen while alive. A few years later she shared she wanted to return to earth in a new body, to practise these new insights in a new life. Etc, etc. To me NDE's (near- death experiences) confirm that life is about growing in consciousness so we can live our live more in accordance with the 'being of love' we truly are.
Ive been studying near death experences for years now, Im also a member of the international association of near death studies. Great documentary
Wait , you are a member of IANDS?
This was very well done. I've died and come back a number of times from being critically ill for a long time and also from being the victim of crimes. It's more like an expansion than anything else, into the light that people talk about. Most incredible experiences ever, very empowering. It is beautiful and peaceful beyond words.
Future talks should rigorously address and critique the culture of materialist anti-intellectualism in the field--it obstructs both scientific progress and wider public recognition of this vital work!
@@NinetiesYouth The conclusion is that consciousness, mind, thinking, understanding does not belong or reside in human body or the material world. Death does not interrupt consciousness or even life.
@@NinetiesYouth Don't worry, be happy...
For now ,Aware studies could prove that atleast these are partially not hallucinations. Aware 2 result's are unknown to us.@@NinetiesYouth
@@NinetiesYouthhe dies in the end
Almost every person i listen who had an NDE (one in my family too) says that "there" there is "no time" so the resuscitation delays must be seen in this optic too, this "delay" has an effect only here. The fact that every "mind" grasp a "no-time" environment (real or not, i cant be sure until this happens to me) without problems is VERY interesting.
What a wonderful documentary. Sam Parnia is one of those doctors I can always listen to. Thank you for this.❤
Funeral arranger here. I’ve learned so much about life and it’s small pleasures by being surrounded by the dead. Eye opening and humbling
A profoundly thought-provoking documentary. As one other commenter said, it’s about time that the worlds of science and spirituality came together on this topic.
What amazes me is the fact that people can still accurately describe real events including In a different room to where their body was, at the time their brain wasn't functioning. The only explanation is that consciousness must be coming from somewhere else. Surely for this reason this must PROVE it
Right! Mainstream medical today states that our consciousness does NOT reside within the brain and in fact outside of us.
As we die, we feel intense relief instead of fear and pain. This relief is unimaginably pleasureable so we give it familiar names that seem inadequate, Our imagination also creates fantastic experiences to account for this wonderfull feeling. If we are resusitated we find that our death experiences share key features with others but are also uniquely our own..... just like life. No, I don't think I'm always right. This was a great post!
Thank you for this video and many blessings to all of you who made it! ❤ We are on the verge of realising that we are eternal beings and we never die! Thank you gratefully!
And therein lies the root of all bad decisions; the notion that we are eternal.
Thank you 💜 It’s the most incredible revelation!
A whole new vastness has been opened up here by these glorious people. A new perspective- a new hope- just as the world is crumbling- you give us a new huge hope in the widening of our understanding of humanity. Glory be. Heart and brain leap with joy. Thank you thank you.
I was in a coma as a child of 7 and I remember ppl outside and by the light crystals it looked like I had meningitis and two week coma when I came back I didn’t want to at all 😢
Well I'm glad you came back.
A true masterpiece: I had the honor of training with Dr. Parnia, who inspired me to pursue a career in Critical Care Medicine. His open-mindedness, associated with true scientific rigor, keeps producing pioneering work that will be referred to in the future of medicine. Thank you for your life-changing explorations!
I'm a real believer! Thank you all for your diligence, dedication & thoughtfulness exploring these interesting states.
33:33 I work in a hospital. I've heard these stories. My own dad had one after an NDE from a brain bleed. Tears of joy are the most common affect in the survivor. My crusty old dad went to Jell-O whenever he tried to tell his story to people, and he felt moved to tell anyone he trusted and/or loved.
I appreciate the courage of these research doctors who have studied this topic for the past 50 years. Skeptics abound. However, it appears to me that Love is the portal to our next existence and the consciousness is a separate organism within the body. I've heard these RED stories within my own family and there is plenty more to learn here.
Good job
Modern research on Near Death Experience by Raymond moody, reincarnation memories by Ian Stevenson/Jim trucker and past lives regression by Brian Weiss all independently but coincidentally show that our consciousness survive death, we live many lives and our thoughts and actions matter in the hereafter. So be kind and helpful to others, be virtuous, meditate and cultivate ourselves to higher spiritual levels. Cheers.
An excellent presentation of current research into the dying process, explained clearly by a variety of doctors. An optimistic conclusion was reached that the experiences of resuscitated patients point to the fact that we do survive after death. I personally was horrified by the thought of those decapitated pig heads being conscious! It’s the stuff of nightmares!
Thank you, Dr Sam, for this well-put-together presentation. You're part of the unraveling of our existence.
Wonderful. Thank you dr Parnia
Uau, thank you so much for this great scientific documentary about death research!! Excellent job!!!
I almost didn’t finish seeing this video because they spent way too much time explaining what constitutes death biologically, but then it became very interesting. I learned so much today. I was especially astounded by the fact that scientists took dead brain tissue from pigs that had been dead for hours and got the brain to work again!! Wow! I also loved the NDE stories. It makes me less afraid of death and confirms that there is a protective, loving energy force waiting for us.
Frankenpig.
I find it fascinating how most animals face death with total acceptance. They don't need to try to figure out what's on the other side, pray for forgiveness for their sins, or find ways to bring themselves back to life. They just accept it and, if they live within a group, such as wolves for example, the remaining pack members will accept it too and take steps to fill the void of whatever job that pack member held within the group. Life and death in the wild are just a part of nature. But humans refuse to accept this reality for our own kind, despite the fact that we too are just another aspect of the natural world. Most of the near death experiences that I've learned about have said that they were totally ok with not coming back. They say that they knew everything was going to be ok for the people they left behind. This all happening after they had medically died. So, to me, the question of consciousness after death is not something we need to explore for the purpose of prolonging life, but something to possibly look forward to once it is our time. I would prefer that we use our resources to figure out not how to prolong life, but how to live a quality life while we are here. I certainly don't want to be alive long past my body's ability to keep me alive on it's own, for the most part. I don't want to spend 20 years in some ghastly medical facility, surrounded by strangers, and not have a clue what is going on, live in a wheelchair, and basically suffering while I await the end. And I think most people would agree. It's a pretty universal understanding. So it makes more sense to put money and resources towards treating illnesses that we can improve or avoid rather than how long we can keep people alive when they don't want to be and have no hope of any meaningful life and probably live in pain or confusion or both. Sounds harsh. But only to humans. It seems like every other living thing in the natural world understands life and death better than we do. And they don't even have universities!
I absolutely agree !
I totally share your thinking !!!
How do you know?
Wow very well done, bravo!
⚠️ When we are young, death is a subject we don't even think. We are eternal. Then, when after 50s, we are devastated by thinking about it. 😮😮😮
Ehh not necessarily. I’m 29 and think about death a lot. I’ve had a lot of death in my family recently and many people my age or younger have died. I use to be scared of death when I was a child but as a young adult it’s more of a huge mystery I can’t wait to know if there is anything. I suffer from depression and 4 years ago I thought of suicide but something told me to stay strong and keep going. I still have many things I want to do before I go though but if I do make it to old age I definitely don’t think I will fear dying it’s just I hope it’s not slow and painful.
@@Thomzz95 I began to think about death seriously after the death of my beloved father, my uncles, dozens of friends by COVID, and several other things. I got depression since 2016, and I'm trying different methods, mostly oriental philosophy, Ramana Maharshi, Krishnamurti, Eckhart Tolle videos and lectures. It has helped a lot to cope with death. NDE stories also give more perspectives. 🎉❤
I was close to death with a cancer diagnosis. Required lots of blood transfusions During the presurgery period went through lots of deep consciousness regarding my existence. I survived the cancer and the deep consciousness and life review has stayed with me as I move into my after cancer life.
32:56 this is a terrific analogy. His words, so real and touching, seems a wonderful guy.
Excellent documentary, many thanks to Sam Parnia and others for your amazing work and research and above all for not being afraid to challenge the mainstream thinking around these subjects. Your work is hugely valued.
Fantastically well done. I’m a former neuroscientist and was always so frustrated (about a decade ago), that these sorts of things weren’t discussed as a priority! So glad to see they are now. This is arguably some of the most important discussions we can have. Thank you!
Death is so hard for me to wrap my head around. Even though people i know have passed away. It still never gets eaiser. I get invasive thoughts about how limited the time i have left with the people i love. Knowing that each day we get closer to never being able to see them again , messes with me so badly. Lost a good friend at 15, im 30 now and still can't reconcile death.
My dear mother managed to survive her physical death for a number of days, somehow. She gave me 3 very special and cherished experiences that I will remember for the rest of my life. They were far beyond the normal physical realm! As a family we were all very close. She actually bought me back to life when I had stopped breathing as a baby. There are more things in heaven and earth.......
Awesome
I find this documentary extremely disturbing...how then are we to know, exactly, when someone is dead? If the brain can be resuscitated an hour after being declared dead, how can we ever be certain that those we resign to the morgue's cooler, or the embalmer's table, or, God forbid, the fires of the crematorium, are truly beyond our ability to resurrect?
This is absolutely brilliant, what did you watch?!!?!?
We are limited in what we can know. That's the beauty of it all. Your fear is genuine because you have an empathetic heart. Our definition of "being dead" has been shifting for 300,000 years, but no one suffers after the body has seemingly stopped functioning, because our bodies are the dungeons of our consciousness/mind. Here we are tested and must love that test in order to embrace liberation in all its glory.
I think it's our other in the quantum field. I can't elaborate. I believe that every particle has its opposite or it's partner. So when you die, relatively speaking, you assume the position of that alternate consciousness, cosmic consciousness. All very speculative of course. comforting to know that potential is limitless
I had a near death experience at the age of 19 from a traumatic event I won't describe here. The sense of gentle peace and complete safety and protection was indescribable. When I awoke, I felt devastated to have come back, because I wanted to stay there forever. Now, almost 30 years later, I am facing some devastating news about my life expectancy. There is no conclusive timeline. It could happen soon, or years from now. Not much is known about this condition yet. I will cherish every moment here. If what is waiting for me is that sweet, soft, gentle, all encompassing love and tranquility, at least I can step into it without fear when my time comes. I don't want my days to end, but that moment years ago now feels like a gift that is preparing me for a day so many dread, because I can see it as a new beginning and not the end. I have never been religious, but based on my earlier experience, I do think it is possible that something beautiful is waiting for me when my time here is done. To borrow a quote from one of my favorite movies, The Crow, "cities fall, and buildings burn, but love never dies".
You are a beautiful soul ready to be freed from the dungeon of the finite body and the rehearsel that this 'real life' is. Everybody you love will follow you soon on the path of pure love that you'll be guided in. That's all and everything at the same time.
Wow!!! This show was for me a absolutely amazing and emotional experience. It made me think about the day my dad passed. And maybe a month before he died. It's a well it's not that long of a story, basically I have a picture of my dad at my family's Cemetery. Where it was just dad and I his name is Bobby. But in that picture my dad is setting on his oldest son's head stone. And they are 3 Shadows on the ground that you can clearly see in the picture and no one else is up here but me and my dad my grandparents are buried in the back you can see their headstones I've always felt like the spirits them were there with us that day perhaps. Maybe near a month before my dad passed away or less. I absolutely love this picture and I will cherish it and pass it on hopefully before my time comes. Because now watching this program now I know my dad seen us falling behind the ambulance on the way to the hospital. Oh God I'm so emotional right now!!! I loved my dad gd did I. He was my rock, my best friend. He honestly was everything to me all I really had beautiful in life besides my kids. We were very close. He's been dead for 13 yrs, 14 October 8 2024. And still to this day it affects me very emotionally bad, I miss him to much. Like now I'm crying and trying to type and wipe my nose, and tears away just so I can see. But watching this, and that picture I have. Makes me wonder where or do we ever leave or are or should I say. Can we go back and forth between this planet and whatever it is out there call it Heaven or Hell. Whatever u wish to call it. But wow!! I'm just got so much in my lill what brain I have just lighting up with electrons right now in curiosity. Is one way to say. So thank you so much for this program. I have absolutely loved it and the way I feel right now tears and all. Again thank you so very much. Wendy D Benfield.....
I, too, have had more than one instance where I was clinically dead & returned. I remember some of the times I was "dead", but each one was a markedly different experience. And, I've never heard anyone describe the things that I experienced. What does that mean? Not once have I ever had a life review or been in some existence of serenity. No beautiful scenery, no all-encompassing light. And, yet, my experiences are just as lucid as the people interviewed in this documentary. Conversations, scenery, sounds, feelings, the knowing of certain things that I didn't know in mortal life & the sensation that I had known those things for eons. My experiences in "death", while each was distinctly different, didn't seem to be any different than when I have extremely lucid dreams or when my mind goes places that feel 100% as if I'm still in the physical world, yet often defy significant correlations with what I know to be true in this world. Is anyone else out there who's had a different experience or experiences than those described in every other video that shares the topic of this one? I can't be the only one.
the spirit cannot be destroyed
It’s inspiring that this documentary is based on medical and personal experience, rather than from a spiritual or religious perspective. Another interesting approach of inquiry to further this research would be to take into account the principles behind the Tibetan Book of the Dead (without its cultural baggage) and the practice of Phowa.
Thank God for KZhead🥰 It makes you wonder how many people do not report or talk about things in fear of people thinking they are nuts ect and so on. It reminds me of Sasquatch or Bigfoot and how quit obviously and overwhelmingly is real and lives amount us but for some reason no matter all the experiences main stream science refuses to validate. I lost my 2 older brothers and my Dad when I was in my early to mid 20’s. There is not an absolute doubt that they communicate with me and have over a couple decades now. It saddens me that we can’t have open conversations and that it mostly has to stay inside the experiences I have had. Anyways this was soooooo good! Thank you🌎☀️💙
A really beautiful and informative video. Thank you.
I think being human we all fear death . But with this excellent presentation it really makes me wonder if I am worring or looking forward to it. Thank You for presenting this !
This is incredible. It’s got me rethinking everything. Is this the full documentary?
This is the full documentary! Hopefully the first of many.
@@parnialab The enormous resistance from science in general to this phenomenon has been a "marvel" in itself. I go right back to 1975 and I already knew then that these were no mere hallucinations. I can hardly believe that an institution such as New York University School of medicine is now open to what is still considered (by many scientists) to be anathema. Very encouraging, thank you !
@@parnialabI can’t wait till the next video and the information you have learned on this subject becomes available! Nikola Tesla said that the day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than it has in all the previous centuries of its existence.
