Near-Death Experiences: The BEST EVIDENCE Of Life After Death | Dr. Bruce Greyson

- We often think the mind is a creation of the brain, or that the mind and the brain are one and the same. But when the brain is offline for a number of reasons, like illness or injury, the mind can sometimes still be very active.
Today on The Broken Brain Podcast, Dhru talks to Dr. Bruce Greyson about this phenomenon in the context of near-death experiences or NDEs. We have to remember that even just 20 years ago new scientific ideas were emerging that people thought were crazy. People are always skeptical of things they haven’t been taught. Now, the study of near-death experiences is pushing the boundaries of modern research.
Dr. Greyson is a Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the UVA School of Medicine. His award-winning research led him to become a Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and to be invited by the Dalai Lama to participate in a dialogue between Western scientists and Buddhist monks in India.
Dr. Greyson’s interest in near-death experiences began just a few months after graduating from medical school, when he treated an unconscious patient in the emergency room who stunned him the next morning with an account of leaving her body. That event challenged his beliefs about the mind and the brain, and ultimately led him on a journey to study near-death experiences scientifically, leading to more than a hundred publications in medical journals.
In this episode, Dr. Greyson shares some of the most dramatic first-person accounts of near-death experiences from his book After. Dhru and Dr. Greyson discuss how NDEs reveal a lot about dying and what might come after, but they also reveal just as much about life and living, about the value of compassion and our interconnectedness with one another, and about what makes a life meaningful and fulfilling. They also talk about how NDEs can help to transform the fear of dying that pervades our culture-into a healthy view of it as one more milestone in the course of our lives.
In this episode, we dive into:
- Dr. Greyson’s first experience with a patient who had a near-death experience (4:32)
- A near-death experience story from Dr. Greyson’s book (15:51)
- What near-death experiences tell us about the mind-body connection (19:37)
- The parallels between psychedelic experiences and near-death experiences (29:06)
- The misconceptions around near-death experiences (34:58)
- How near-death experiences reduce the fear of death (39:08)
- How to get the benefits of a near-death experience without actually having one (41:54)
- The history of near-death experiences (46:51)
- Reincarnation beliefs among near-death experiencers (49:22)
- How near-death experiences change people’s lives (1:01:45)

My partner of almost 10 years had passed away in March. He went home to Oregon to visit family and we lived in Tennessee at the time. The morning he passed away was at his parents house. That morning his mom didn’t know he passed was asleep. She said she dreamt of him coming to her and he was outside her bedroom window looking in at her and smiling. He had this beautiful glow around him like a bright light but it wasn’t a hurtful light. I was a comfortable light. He was dressed very well and he was in his beautiful white dress shirt with his laptop bag around his shoulders crisscrossed over him. He was waving and smiling so beautifully. She woke up and thought she wasn’t dreaming. She went to go find him and there he was… passed away. RIP Quade. I love you and miss you so much.

Sorry for your loss
So sorry for your loss. I’m so glad he came to visit her In her dream to say goodbye and that he will see you all again. He’s now awaken and in our true reality, while we’re still in this matrix world to finish out our lessons. Still, a loss hurts I hope you can find comfort 🌹🌹
I know this is trivial and ultimately unimportant, but this just drives me to DISTRACTION: the word is both spelled and pronounced, Dreamed, not "dreamt", learned, not learnt, etc. I'm sorry, but poor English, grammar, and speaking skills are a major distraction when trying to both read and listen some of this, and the younger guy with facial scruff is also distracting with his improper pronunciation of the word, association; it is NOT pronounced "ASHO•SHE•ASHON," it's pronounced ASSO•SEE•ASHON. Sorry, but this is a MAJOR DISTRACTION for many readers and listeners.
@@jamescarrington5521 Hello.I'm a student of English and our teachers taught that we could use both learned and learnt and dreamed and dreamt.Could you explain it please? Are the teachers wrong?
My mother in law with Alzheimer's hadn't spoken a word in two years. We cared for her from the beginning of her illnes. She used her very last breath to say thank you.
How" near" is" near? It is that simple question that gives the lie to so called near death expeiences which are invariably lies or dreams
@@vhawk1951klکس ننت
“Lie” ? That’s an arrogant label for a situation that you know really nothing about unless, of course, lying is your area of expertise.
@@thomburleson4884easy tiger, don't let the clowns bother you, they're just a distraction from the real deal - consciousness is seperate from the brain which is mostly like a radio set that picks up the program you are dialled into. Meditation and prayer are two ways we can override the mundane chatter and reach the clouds of understanding. X
@@thomburleson4884 your always going to get skeptics I don't see why people are soo skeptical wouldn't you love to know that you'll see the people again that have gone before you and know the pain and mourning your going through is not needed because you'll see them again, my youngest sister 30 years of age passed away recently I balled my eyes out she took her own life and we were soo close she was always happy but clearly behind closed door she was in a dark place I'll still mourn her even though I know I'll see her again
When my 37 year old at the time son passed away almost 2 yrs ago he came to me in a dream. I felt that someone was there before falling all the way asleep and i hoped it was him. I dreamed he came and was also dressed very nice and we danced a slow dance type of dance. He then told me he had to go and i was upset crying asking why, why couldnt he just stay and he said because he had to go home. R.I.P. my son i Love you forever more!😢
Incredible ❤so sorry for your loss. Hopefully you now feel hope you’ll be seeing him again❤
🙏❤️🩹
❤❤❤❤❤
I'm not afraid of dying, I'm afraid of saying goodbye to my children. The very thought of it tortures my heart. Their heartbreak would break my heart.
Same here
please consider calling upon the Name of Jesus, He knows your heart, even if you do not believe or find it hard to allow into your life... please, let Jesus in... I have seen lives changed, miracles happen, joy restored when someone has never even been loved... this is SO important, THE most important issue in this life, because it is eternity...
No need to be afraid of that. They will deal with it when the time comes, and they will learn and expand as a result. And who knows, maybe you will be able to reassure then from the other side, like my mother did. (You can look up "after-death communications" and find many examples of that...)
@@agc3fcn Jesus has been my life for most of it. Why would you assume He isn't? Thank you for your concern, but my relationship with Jesus is perfect. I do appreciate you looking out.
@@nanajill514 Please forgive my lack of perception when I am moved by someone who I may feel is in distress. All I can give is the Name of Jesus and that He has placed both challenges and blessing in my life. My intent was to bring comfort, not judgment...
Most people are not afraid of death, they are afraid of pain. Pain that leads to death. Like cancer.
As somebody with Cancer, this is true. But meds help.
@@scottchavez1688 I wake up at night with heart skipping beats and fluttering, and then followed with racing heart.
I cealry have some kind of heart issue, be it physical or electrical.
I'm always convinced I have cancer. I've had pannic disorder since a young age.
I pray that I go in my sleep, nearly every night. This is no way to live a life.
I hope you are healed of your cancer, and that you awake one day feeling perfect!
There’s nothin wrong with ur heart I can promise you that . THts anxiety trust me speaking from experience.
Ur waking up to pvc’s they r very very normal everyone has them throughout day or night just most ppl aren’t aware of rhem . Ur pvc’s trigger the panic reaction which brings on the racing heartbeat . Don’t underestimate ur brain it can cause incredible effects on the body good or bad if we allow it .
I was in terrible pain a few months ago and prayed for death
My son pass away 6 years ago he was 8 years old i know I will see him again Thank you❤❤
So sorry for your loss❤❤❤
ı believe that you will too!💔
Blessings, I can't even begin to imagine the feelings. I am truly sorry.
In the resurrection.
You will him for sure he see you all the time when he visit❤ you
Wonderful interview. I am a death doula and have been with hundreds of patients while they are dying, many people see and talk about family members that have passed before them. People write these off as hallucinations but they are not. Its very comforting to know we do not leave this world alone.
When my 84yo father lay actively dying, his watery faded old blue eyes closed, at his last breath his eyes opened and they had turned brilliant sky blue!! He pointed past me to empty corner of room, exhaled and died, his eyes returned to faded old... There's no medical reason for this phenomena. I've heard one other lady say she witnessed same with her mother in law.
@@jessedavid811 that's amazing! I saw something I believe is similar but in someone who is alive. I was on a bus and a man got on and sat besides me. He had a very comforting presence. We talked like we knew eachother and I had a very calm feeling come over me. I looked over at him and his eyes were glowing blue. Not like someone with blue eyes but like a being with blue light shining out from behind their eyes. When his stop came up, he went to the exit, turned around and waved at me then got off the bus. It felt like I was in a dream. I thought I was maybe imagining things but then I've heard other stories of people seeing this blue glow. Either in people who are dying or in people who are alive and believed to be spirit guides. It's awesome to know there is a likelihood that something peaceful is out there and guiding us in life and in death.
my grandfather yelled, Look! it's IRELAND!".
I wonder what he saw
Wow that is extremely fascinating with the eyes changing colors. I believe the Spirit can manifest many things here that defy our current level of understanding. Thanks for sharing that. 🙏
@@thepresentmoment369 it was truly astonishing, his old 84yo kidney failure faded watery eyes opened suddenly after 3hrs of him quietly sleeping, I was right in front hovering over his face smiling but crying, it all happened so fast, they were so vivid brilliant crystal clear gorgeous colour blue, I've yet to find a comparison even on the most beautiful sunny day with rich blue sky. My Dad looked at me, then past my head to empty corner of hospital room, he seemed scared and raised his shaky arm to point, I quickly turned to see but of course I didn't see anything, I quickly turned back to Dad face, he exhaled ( I accidentally breathed it in) and he was gone, his eyes immediately returned to faded old colour. This was a gift from the Divine for me and my sister who saw it too. This was 8 years ago but I tell this everywhere I can, hoping people will take every word as absolute truth and give them some hope perhaps. I'm 66 and have no reason to fabricate what happened. Behold the Glory I reckon. (I also heard my dog that was killed, a week after he was killed, 3 of us heard him yawning stretching awake in empty cnr of our lounge room as we sat grieving silently. ) 👐
Having read all I can on NDEs during the 70s and 80s, when my mom was in and out of consciousness in ICU from pneumonia after hip replacement surgery, I knew she was seeing relatives passed. Bending down over her, I asked her, "You see them, don't you?" She nodded yes and a tear dropped from the outside of her closed eye. I told her she could go because I felt her guilt if she should go. I reassured her. I could sense her relief. She went under. She passed 6 hours later. Many did not understand my joy at her funeral.
We must overcome ourselves and be in their place. Their death is the highlight of their existence here on Earth. Celebration of Life? Not the way I think of it. 😊❤
Kathryn, How beautiful, I copied it an I'm going to keep it to tell my children when I go to be with my Lord and Savior.
Thank you!

Perhaps people should acknowledge that when loved ones die we mourn for ourselves, for our own loss. Especially when the person was very sick or very old and was past living. It’s not the person we mourn but our loss of the person. I’m glad your loss was a happy one and not a grievous one ❤
I 100% AGREE W/U! My great Aunt passed away 2 weeks ago & the somber mood of the funeral just killed me inside because I knew (from reading hundreds of NDEs) the immense joy of crossing over! I just hope we can continue to put the word out that dying is really a wonderful rite of passage❤

I've had 3 heart attacks and two emergent triple A (abdominal aortic aneurysm) and one experimental AAA surgery. I have been to "the meadow". I can assure you though our bodies die, we live on. Too much to explain here. Don't be afraid. I'm in no hurry to leave this world, however I'm no longer afraid of the next chapter.
Jeff Mara does a podcast of NDE experiencers, he’s here on You Tube, perhaps you should contact him, he’s an excellent interviewer
After 3 heart attacks why are you not on a plant based diet? These 2 topics are very hot now.
@@pennynolan7597 I rarely (pun) eat red meat. I do like fish and seafood. I do eat chicken, turkey and pork however not a lot there either. I'm definitely not into sugar or junk food and haven't been since 1994 when I had my first heart attack. About a third of my heart is now scar tissue per the hospital. I think the reduction in oxygen and energy has been a factor, along with genetics. All but two of the men on my dad's side died of heart attacks by their mid 50's. I recently turned 64.
@Halo Hat, "The Meadow" I would love to hear more about your Experiences and what you mean by "The Meadow."
Only if you have any spare time, & would like to, I would really appreciate if you would write to me about "What you Experienced? What Happened? For you to say "I'm No Longer Afraid to Leave this world." As you're Not afraid of the Next? I have always heard people talk about "Near Death Experiences" but I wasn't really interested to listen then! I never gave what they said & described very much thought or attention, but now I do want to hear about their experiences.
In 2020, I turned 65yrs old and I'm living in Ontario, Canada where So Many Older people, especially in Long Term Homes have died, Too Many. I wasn't too afraid of dying before as I am now!
Now, I am Really Afraid of Living!
I am Really Afraid of Being Killed!
NOT by This Virus, By The Canadian Government, Politicians, Doctors and this Vaccine, etc.! As the Canadian Armed Forces wrote a Report about the Terrible Conditions and Esp. How Bad the Care is for the Older People living in Nursing homes are! Now I am Very Afraid and I want to know All I can about dying! Also, I want to hear from anyone who was "KILLED" then Died & Came Back! Does the way a person Dies Change their After Life Experience?
Please tell me What you Experienced (if you want to & get time to) as I'm hoping that the More I Hear about People like you who had These Experiences and Esp. "How it Made you "NOT" Afraid Anymore,... Might Help me?
Thanks, Elise.
All i say is thankyou i ask no questions as i think if you have truely felt the real realm of reality you could not put it in to words from our 3d eyes. I have not had confirmation of any thing after my time but my journey this last few months says its not to far away
Dr. Greyson was kind enough to serve on my Ph.D. Dissertation Committee, acting as my Near-Death Studies mentor. His input was invaluable. As an NDE survivor and as a researcher, I think the world of him.
That is SO cool. Congrats on your Ph.D. What was the topic of your dissertation?!
What did you get your Ph.D. in? How long did it take to complete?
I'm an NDE-er with an MS in comp sci.. Would love to work on any research project relating to NDEs.
@@thetsly1075I got it in American Studies, earning both an MA and a PhD. It took 10 years. FYI, the title is 'Field Notes from the Light: an Ethnographic Study of the Meaning and Significance of Near-Death Experiences.' You can read it here, at no cost:

@user-tz4pb6qz7k Not as much as you'd think. The problem with this theory is "Shared death experiences" which occur between two or more people involved in the death process of one - so that isn't just "hallucinations and brain cells dying" (which is also in of itself not necessarily a correct statement either).
The brain is something you get when you enter this world, just like the physical body. There is a higher intelligence that is beyond this. This intelligence is based on pure love, but a love not very often experienced here.
I've died several times Jesus showed me it's just a door ,as he is pure love,he told me he loves me as if I were the only one in his kingdom,I've been saved for years ,Jesus is the only one true way to Heaven, the other is with the deceiver, do not be deceived!😮
Based on "pure love?" Then why is our time here so terrible, full of despair and hate and violence and fear and cancer and greed and crime and rape and etc, etc, etc? Is this "higher intelligence" taking masochistic pleasure in our suffering?
@@NN-df7hlthe things you listed do not occur in the afterlife. Those things are limited to this physical realm, which is a training ground. We are here to learn.
Just a superb interview. Thank you. I have Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer. I’m in a strong chemo now for new tumors. I’m sick beyond words. The vitality & wisdom in your discussion blew my mind.

I'm a retired nurse and have cared for patients of every age group. Many of them had near death experiences. In the 1950s one of my grandfather's brothers died on the operating table while having kidney surgery. He described his out of body death experience as peaceful and wonderful!! He said he went to heaven and walked on beautiful green grass with flowers in colors that we don't have here on earth. He felt the brightest of light and was overwhelmed with love and peace. He wasn't there long, when people in gleaming robes told him the time wasn't right and he had to go back. He wasn't happy about it. The doctors brought him back. He was mad that he was back on earth!!!
Loved your story about a family member's NDE- So comforting _ Thank you for sharing his experience .
Do you happen to know if he was a Christian?
I’d be pretty mad too. I’m so done with this place and would die to experience love and peace.
Yes he was a church going, Bible believing Christian.
My great uncle, born in 1885 (I was born in 1953) told me that when he had double pneumonia during the war, probably in '42 or '43, he "dreamed" that he rose out of his body and ascended to a heavenly place. There were uncountable angels all around, and all singing. He said that a voice told him that he hadn't been living right and that it was not yet his time and that he still had work to do. Later that night, a family sitting up with him, heard him talking and knew that the fever had broken back in those days before any antibiotics. The fever either broke and you lived or the pneumonia killed you. Sounds like an NDE to me. He lived to be in his early 90s.
My sister was in a coma and when she woke up she thanked the nurse that saved her life. She was up at the corner of the ceiling watching the nurse do CPR and the nurse saying come on baby, come on baby, come back.
A few months back i had a heart attack, and i was flown down to Aberdeen from Wick (Scotland) I was wide awake on the operating table and went into shock when the surgeon asked me to breath in so he could get the stent cables past my lungs.....I began shouting at him "Im going to die aint I!" and he ignored me ..........I was shaking like i was in a fridge with no clothes on......then suddenly a strange pressure enveloped me which felt like two arms wrapping around me from my shoulders down to my hips......and i heard the words "You'll be ok!" in my right ear, and i instantly calmed down. I mean the shaking stopped and i felt very calm within seconds of that event......only at that point did the surgeon then look at me and say "You're not going to die today!" That surgeon fixed my heart in 35 mins and i have been advised my heart will be ok so long as i stop smoking and do a bit of excercise.......of course now i think back to that odd event and tell myself i must have imagined it, or maybe the stent cables moving inside me somehow gave me the feeling of arms around my body, but stent cables cant say "You'll be ok!".......
I’ve never had a NDE but I had a very close friend pass and he visited me in a dream he looked younger then normal and very content we looked to be in a church/court room he looked at me and said crazy how it’s too late for this to not be real and I woke up feeling the happiest and most at peace I’ve ever felt in my life.
I had similar great rejuvenating exciting experience with my dear closest friend from HS....i recall being amazed to see him again
My 5 years old son just passed away a month ago, I just hope heaven and afterlife is real 🙏 the heartbroken is terrible, everyday here on earth is live nightmare 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Sorry for your loss. My bet is on these NDE's and NOT religion!

I had an NDE in 1969 @ age 7. I fell from the 2nd floor off a building. I just started speaking out this year. People could not come out in the 70's or speak about their experiences so I only spoke openly to my immediate family.
Did you see anyone there?
?
What country did you live in, such that you couldn't speak about such things openly in 1969. I know you're not talking about the USA because in 69 people were flying UFOs out of Woodstock 🙃
@@redtsunami326 ummm no ...what are you talking about? You must be very young, possibly millennial or gen z. You couldn't talk about ANYTHING intimate back then, albeit NDE's... those UFO at Woodstock people were all hopped up on psychedelics and people thought they were "weird hippies" etc...
My mother was nursing an eldery neighbour who was dying. His son had severe learning difficulties and was downstairs. He didn't appear to understand what was happening. However, after his father died, before my mother could attempt to explain anything, the son told her he'd seen his mum and dad outside the window and they were waving and smiling at him.
I overdozed at age 25 and I was suspended in an empty void in far away outer space, completely no control, another godly force is in control of me. It spoke to me it talked wisdom to me then took me at heavens gates but I wasn't allowed to enter , at that point I started praying to get back to my body, and in a flash I woke up in my bed. I am never the same person again after this experience
Briefly, what kind of wisdom did this deity impart to you? I was raised a Christian fundamentalist but have rejected it because of the lies they told me and their intolerance. Was this deity considered to be like a biblical deity?
@@eddieadams2051 he floated me out of space where earth looked like a little ball the size of an olive, it's like when zoom out from Google earth. Then said "extend your arm". I was like "why there's nothing we're too far away" he reiterated himself so I extended my arm and low and behold that little olive size globe was in my hand I held it between two fingers then diety gave me a lesson "beloved, do you see now your real size ? That is your reality and your have been belittling yourself longing after material possessions, where are those properties and fancy cars now? So you see them?

@@imhere8380 I didn't murder myself on purpose it was intentional. As young fella having fun in the after-party
My larger than life beloved dad died the night before Christmas eve and 2 days before his birthday last year. I was with him in my living room and he all at once sat STRAIGHT UP in that damn god awful hospital bed made a gurle sound as he took his last breath and fell over onto his side. I immediately inadvertently started screaming daddy no please don't go and then i hit my knees screaming this guttural hopeless despair kind of scream feeling like he took everything with him when he died. Then suddenly I felt this intense warm sensation wrapping me up like a hot blanket and mid scream i felt EVERY SINGLE drop of pain literally sucked out of the top of my head while instantly replacing it with the most loving peaceful feeling ive ever had which happened so quickly that my mouth was still open then I started to giggle audibly totally inadvertently and felt my face getting really hot like someone with a very high fever had put their hands on my cheeks to comfort me. All at once i knew deep in my soul it was my dad trying to help me one last time which is so like him and to this day that level of all consuming hopelessness and despair hasn't returned even as im crying profusely as i type this because I miss him so much i still dont feel what i did immediately upon his death. These stories give me hope that just maybe hes in a beautiful place awaiting my arrival one day. Thankfully I no longer feel like I died as well.
love your story. I think these kinds of experiences help us realize (and many times our loved ones who have begun the journey there) that there is a better place beyond this physical form, and that transition and time is nothing short of ecstasy for most. May the Creator bless you and your loved ones still here.

I had a similar experience. My step dad died unexpectedly, and I wasn't sure he had made it to heaven. It was a little after midnight when I was laying in bed crying hysterically, praying to God to please make sure my mom would die a Christian. All of a sudden, I sat up in bed with the same warm feeling that you had and even giggled like you did. I didn't know why at the time, but I thanked God for answering my prayer. A few minutes later, I had gotten a call that my sister had just found my mom deceased on her couch. She was only 54 yrs old and died of a heart attack unexpectedly. I truly believe God was telling me my mom had just entered the gates of heaven.
Before my mother passed away, i dreamed she left home and we looked for her everywhere but could not find her. One day I felt a strong urge that i need to go back to visit my family right away so i gathered my paper works to apply visa, it was on a Friday and my visa would be available next Monday, then on that Saturday i got a call saying my mother was dying, i called my family just a few days before and she was totally fine at home.
I was with my mother when she passed away and I felt certain that she would have the kind of experience described by those who have shared their near death experiences. It has been a comfort to me that this is what awaited her as she passed away.
I, too, was with my Mom. Later I had a dream. She came to me in a bright yellow suit that Women wore in the 50's. With a pencil skirt. She was smiling. She said nothing but the yellow outfit spoke to me. It was not a colour my Mom would wear. I took it to mean she was happy and herself again. She passed of dementia.
THEIR IS Definitely LIFE AFTER DEATH. I SEE SPIRITS THAT HAVE PASSED ALOT. IM A SEER. TOO.
maybe.
Watching this video, I found something that has happened to me, I died twice in 2016 into 2017 I was very sick, always in hospital and I had a heart attack and died, and another time I stopped breathing, but watching this video, I noticed something that has happened to me, I don’t care about money or material things, I value human beings over money , and I am very honest.
The biggest thing is I see everything so clearly now, everything makes sense to me, there is no confusion, I am very spiritual as well
What a humble man with medical expertise to admit we really don't know much about what happens after death, but we are trying to learn.
I like Nanci Danison, and I like PMH Atwater, Dannion Brinkley. But mostly I like my Guardian Angel.... Ana Lopez!!!
He's a TRUE scientist. I'm ashamed how academia beats the wonder out of its students. I went into college because I was filled with wonder and awe about the world, ourselves, the universe. I came out like a robot and told that thinking about things like this were shameful. If my ideas didn't already have "peer-reviewed" backing that I must be an idiot and wouldn't become a "respectable" scientist. Meditation brought everything back to me and more. I don't need approval from any PhD or MD. I KNOW for myself and I can think for myself. I'm so grateful for doctors like Dr. Greyson.
So good to hear from this physician. In 1974 I was working in the ED and witnessed a young woman who was essentially dead from massive bleeding. Short story she was saved, I went up to see her the next day and she remembered me and described exactly what was happening in the room. I was holding her baby and crying for her an her baby. She said “ I was looking down into the room and wanted to tell everyone it was alright and not to be so sad. After that, I had many more experiences but this made me aware. thank you for your interview.
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing that.
@@JamesPalmer-ld8wj So a brain completely incapable of thought, due to meningitis, is capable of perfectly lucid "hallucinations"? Thanks for your response, but we have to agree to disagree. Be well.
The consciousness is not the brain but the energy going in and out of brain. Have you ever just for no reason thought of someone picked up the phone and they were on the other end. It didn't ring, just a connection that we don't use our brain to plan. I believe as working in hospitals since I was 16 as aide working night shift after school. I could feel the ones leaving us as I was doing rounds. Not my brain and it went away with age. Keep smiling we will all find out what we are supposed to when we are supposed too.

My mom died in 2022, a few months after I had a vivid dream, I feel I have to differentiate it from the usual dreams I have had, because it was very different, and a bit difficult to describe it.... It was my mom...
It wasn't a dream about her, ...it was her,...
The best way I can describe "seeing" her, was that I "saw" her but it wasn't her physically, visually,....
Although if asked to draw what she looked like, I'd be able to,... but it definitely wasn't her physical face,...
The really weird part was that as I saw her, I instantly recognized her,...
...AND that I recognized that it was MORE ... it was as if I became aware that this was all of my mom, ... without any doubt or fear,...
...and the only message conveyed was ,..."Okay"
that she was "okay"
This is what I experienced, I don't question the experience, as far as I'm concerned, my mom communicated to me, through a dream,... that she was okay.
I've had dreams about her since she died, and this particular "dream" was not an ordinary dream,...
This experience, I believe should be classified differently, ... I think it would be beneficial to us all if we can discuss these types of experiences more openly and with greater acceptance of its reality.
While I was on vacation, a friend gave me your book “ After.” While browsing on You Tube, this video came up. I think it was meant for me and was no coincidence. I’ve read about 4 chapters so far, and it is fascinating.
BEST, BEST interview and in depth info on the NDE topic EVER. Thank you, Dhru, for this one. I’m 75, had NDEs at 11 & 17. So many friends my age are afraid of death, so to you & Dr Greyson I send much love & many thanks. ❤👍👍🥰

@@lisarichards6687 y
When I had my near death experience there were people who I knew but I don't know in this world who told me "You won't remember all of this information you are experiencing when you return to your body." I asked why and they explained to me why but I ended up forgetting lol all I remember is the first sentence. They showed me on a quantum level things that I could never begin to explain. Even now as a studying Physicist it's something that fascinates me still. I understand a lot more now. But I do agree the brain is only a receiver of the mind, or "consciousness".
Do you mind me asking what happened to make you have a nde. Like were you in a car crash or something
Yes so very well stated.
Brain is a receiver...
Its very solid state electricity.
Come on, seriously?
That’s makes zero sense. Sooooo why exactly would they be telling all this knowing your not dying AND you’re not gonna remember? Come ON. Something a kid would claim 🙄😂🤡
I could relate to the receiver idea. And I wonder if we need to be on a certain frequency, or in a certain state to be able to receive those messages, and once we fall out of it, it’s so easy to forget it.
Days after my mom passed away, I had a dream at night. In the dream, I heard my late grandfather speaking to me in his voice that I hadn’t heard for years. He gave me an advice on my relationship, that I need to be more considerate of other’s perspective. But upon hear his voice calling out my name, I was so surprised, that I immediately began to wake up. So I ended up only receiving the first sentence he said to me, and the things he said afterwards, suddenly turned into symbols that I couldn’t comprehend, hence got lost as I woke up, but I clearly remember the “messaging” was coming to me still, it was just that I couldn’t parse it anymore.
I had a frightening experience my Dr said was a Hypnogogic expirence ( I know it was far more.). It had the same breath taking speed being sucked through a tunnel into total darkness. There was a presence that was the epitome of evil trying to take my baby from me. I never felt more helpless or hopeless. The interesting thing is I don't know if my little one came with me or not. I have been listening to others stories to see if anyone had another person come with them. I am blown away how specifically same the details are! To finish what happened, in case anyone is curious: Once I had lost all hope, knowing this rotten, evil thing was going to take my baby (and sadistically was enjoying my terror and realization) and there was physically NOTHING that I could do to protect her, another presence was there. Again, total and complete darkness. The word that I knew was the only thing I could describe it as was Divine. It made me feel so secure and safe and protected, like a little girl in her Daddy's lap safe. It conveyed to me (no words from any of us, that everything was fine and not to be afraid. The dark thing was NOT going to take my baby and I had no reason to believe it would. We were safe. I was still scared sh!tless, but I felt this being had more power than the dark one. This being put me/us back into physical form and I felt like it was in a hurry because it intended on dealing with the dark thing. I also agree that the most terrifying experience of my life was a blessing and gift. Why, I don't know, but it absolutely wiped every speck of doubt from my mind as to whether or not God is real.
Wow thank you for sharing your experience. I like what you said that your experience has now removed any doubt that you previous had and that you now know God is real
The suicide prevention lifeline number at the end was a nice touch .

Love Dr. Greyson! I lost my son and he was one of the top people that helped me find some comfort ❤️. Thank you dr. Greyson
My NDE was January 22, 2022 of this year. I got sepsis during a final surgery and within 4 hours after the surgery I was dying my organ shut down kidneys lungs and brain. I've had a message for myself had a message for the world and I've had a good and bad experience
I would love to hear your message for the world, have you shared it anywhere?
Hi. Would love to hear more...by the way ,Jan.22 is my birthday😊❤😊
One of the great take aways from this is that just reading and studying about NDEs can change people. I feel this has happened to me. I have read so many books about NDEs from way back in 1977 or 1978 when Raymond Moody published "Life after Life". At that time I was a college student and thinking I was an agnostic but that book and many others have changed me to be a much more compassionate person and helped me to find work in Hospice. I love the scientific approach Dr. Greyson takes and I now understand how the study as well as the experiences can change people for the better.
Dr. Greyson, I look forward to reading your book. While I'm not afraid of death, I'm just afraid of how I will pass.
Dr, David R/ Hawkins taught (see TH-cams) that we do not experience our death, we are already gone. It is a big idea to embrace, I know, but he says they are exclusive.
if it's any consolation, the feeling if dying is quick and replaced with wonder. and extreme happiness.....
Pain or not having control over our death is what I think most people fear.
You will make a painless seamless transition to a new realm of reality. Your loved ones on the other side will be present, and this will add to the ecstatic moment of release from this shell. You will see God.
I only am concerned with my children. I know how it felt when I lost my parents and don't want them to feel that same emptiness. If I were childless, I wouldn't fear death, whatsoever.
My husband had a died and found himself as a consciousness in a black void. He said it was pretty neutral. Neither good or bad, but he did feel the energy of his childhood dog there with him.
Love the idea: I had a dog that seemed to be a master in unconditional love, understanding things and loving our companionship. Seeing that dog again (he died many years ago) after I die would be wonderful.
One day I hope we all will be aware of the soul nature in animals. Silent witnesses, pure and beautiful. Without them, I wouldn't be here after losing my son. Be gentle with them.❤❤❤
That sounds really boring. Christ I’ll be so mad if dying is only floating in black nothing and the vague energy of long passed pet 😂
This touches my heart.,...my beloved cat Pumpkin died a few months ago. Miss him so much❤❤❤ And a few years ago my dogs Jessie and Lady Luck. I want to see them again😢❤❤
@6Haunted-Days
It's interesting you began your comment using the word Christ as a swear word because Christ is exactly the key to where you end up after you die. And you best learn that - the quicker the better.
People who go on these fantastic journeys are often forever changed. Many seem to come back happier and no longer fear death
I had my first conscious out of body experience in 1976. I was reading a book on Raja Yoga by Yogi Ramacharaka. I remember the first chapter talking about that we are not our body, our emotions, or our thoughts. It proceeded to say that many may not have this experience for many lifetimes, or maybe later in life, and lastly if we were ready we could know now. I started getting sleepy and laid back in the sofa. Suddenly I was lifted out of my body and floated up to the ceiling and looked down upon my physical body on the sofa. From that day forward I spontaneously left my body every night upon sleeping. This happened over the next 8-9 years. I didn’t do anything to make this happen. It just happened. Starting in 1983 when at a spiritual retreat I started finding myself in spiritual classes with other students in higher dimensions being taught by Masterful ascended Beings, including Archangels and masters, etc. From my first OBE I’ve had no fear of death.
Have you considered writing a book or video documenting some of it? It sounds so fascinating.
I know someone in MA whose daughter is a reincarnated Tibetan Lama. I was told that when the daughter was young, she had to attend these celestial classes nightly. The daughter does have some supernatural power (like healing people) but she doesn’t use it as her profession. She is a SW engineer.
I wish this would happen to me!!! ❤
Read your comment and wondered if you have ever looked into Jesus, he said he was the way the truth and the life…if you ask him he will reveal himself to you.
44:56 At about 8 or 9 yrs of age I discovered that I could " zone out" (what I called it) from a conscious state.
I began directing myself to do this and got so good at it that it happened quickly. I liked the peacefulness. I easily got myself into the state needed; so easily that I had to consciously pull myself back to be fully present by not letting my mind go there when I was feeling myself slip back. I would redirect my restfully focused thoughts or my increasingly unconscious state that moved me to "zoning out"
One day I was playing in a different neighborhood from my own with a small group of girls ,some I knew from school. I didn't like the hide and seek game they voted to play ( imo I was too mature to play)., I decided to sit the game out and enjoy the warm sunshine. I sat against a large tree and I decided to play my new game and "zone out". The girls wouldn't notice me and I'll be with them after their games. Strangely and for the first time it wasn't just my consciousness that left but found I was outside of my body in a new way .I hung out above my body,above the tree and nearby house roof. I was able to see myself as separate from my body?!
i looked down at myself under that tree and I was amazed- I knew that it was me sitting there looking very still.After a bit of time, felt I was up there too long and was worried I'd be noticed . I would scare the girls (my body wasn't moving) and I'd be embarrassed if this weird thing I was doing was questioned and I had no explanation. I tried to get back into my body, but I couldn't. It wasn't working and I began to panic.This hadn't happened the few times I had done this before. When all I had to do was decide to come out of that state and I was back and refocused. Finally, after a number of attempts that felt like I was hitting an invisible wall or force field that was resisting my will, I calmed myself. With focused will, I brought myself back to fully engage with my body. Not being discovered, I made a conscious decision I'd not be doing that again! What would happen if I could not get back? I did not want to find out. i have had many other experiences that are "strange"; this one I never tried to repeat.
Such a great speaker and so unbiased and scientific. He gives nders and their experiences validity and respect. Very ethical and conscientious.
Hello how are you doing 😊😊☺️

This is a good one, stating facts and not bringing religion into it.
The fact that this man has heard all of this and seems to be in denial of a real heaven and hell and existence of God shows he absolutely has bias.

Fits in with a lot of near death experiences I have listened to as a hospital chaplain. Really well presented and gives hope to those who fear death
I had more than one NDE, and have worked with the terminally ill. I told them of my experiences and the bright light, others I saw and the beautiful "music". One man squeezed my hand and told me "yes, everything's gold!", before he died.I never grew up with religion, quite the opposite, but I met "Jesus".
@@zen9571 Thank you Zen. Its good that you shared your experiences with the terminally ill. Some medics including doctors are now taking NDE expereinces more seriously with patient care. Its a work in progress and I believe those who are dying and the terminally ill will be given the spiritual & pastoral support they need. I am so glad you met Jesus. Jesus isn't just for those who have a religion. It just proves that there is something much bigger and better than we could ever imagine. Once again thank you Zen.

Absolutely. I wish.my family members had, especially my children.
What did u see
@@jonathancervantes4554 it's difficult to really explain this type of experience because lot of it doesn't have a earthy reference but all I know is that I laid down and I can feel vibrations on the inside of my body like being against a washing machine during spin cycle when I laid down instantly I was out hovering over the bed next thing I noticed was my body it was a light body made out of golden light I floated over twords the dresser and ran my hands over the surface of the dresser and saw the reflection off of the wood next thing that happened I went through the ceiling and was in this dome type structure with stained glass and as I was flying I feel the butterflies like I was on a roller coaster then I snapped back into my body and told my wife and she looked at me crazy I'm here to tell you for a fact we don't die we are internal.
I like this interviewer MUCH better than others! They try & talk over the guests.
You speak clearly & ask pertinent questions. KUDOs! 💯
A woman I know had rotten tomatoes, raw eggs, etc thrown at her beautiful home for days on end after telling of her near death experience about 40 years ago. She said it then took her more than 2 decades to speak to anyone about it again. 😢
Weird. Why would that anger people?
Fortunately much has changed in the last 40 years.
It would anger Catholics, Christians, and Muslims as the concepts of NDEs and reincarnation goes against their ignorant beliefs
Where did that happen?
Grayson really lends a great deal of credibility and clout to the nascent/ burgeoning field of scientific, scholarly NDE studies.
In my opinion, his work is very important. He is to this field, what Carl Jung was to psychiatry and psychology. He will go down in history with the stature of a pioneering giant.
Dr Raymond Moody's book was well known in the 70's but Dr's treated people like they were crazy and they demeaned the experience. I was a nurse at the time and remember it well. Great book.

Hello how are you doing 😊😊
I have been studying near death experiences and related topics for the past 14 years. I can truly say they have changed my life as if I had one of my own. One of my favorite part is the life review. It makes you think twice how to conduct your life. The more we know and talk about these subjects the better the world will become.
I am so grateful for programs like yours and people like Dr. Grayson that I’m not afraid to be the beacon of light that or guiding us for a better future.
Thank you to both of you for such an inspiring conversation
I wonder if in your studying of NDE have you come across those who have still felt connected to the "spiritual world"? I have had well documented "premonitions", since my NDEs. Our government conducts many of these studies, many in unethical ways.
@@zen9571 I’ve never heard of government involvement in these studies. Yes, people usually are still connected to the spirit world in many ways. I have not had an NDE but had premonition dreams that came about as I dreamed them....

I survived Cardiac Arrest October 2022.. I was put in an induced Coma for 12 days, I Physically died for 22 minutes..!! I can tell you now from 1st Hand experience, I KNEW I was not on this earthly plane, I KNEW what was happening to me and Was I scared? No, I was 53 at the time and thought this is my time to go..!! After 12 days the Hospital called in my entire Family from 100's miles away to say goodbye to me (Machine turn off) and let me pass over.. Whilst my my mum was sitting there (she's 83) holding my hand in tears, I could see her holding my hand and all my family around my bed crying... True as I sit here, around 10 seconds before turn off time my Nan who died when I was 8 (1977) which is my Mums Mum shouted at me go back to Mummy, go back, go back, go back.. 15 seconds to timeout, I squeezed my mums hand and woke out of my induced Coma.!! so do we see our family? YES, do we see the light ? YES can we see dead relatives such as my Nan? YES..!! did I know I had cardiac arrest in my gym? No, I had absolutely NO idea what had happened to me, I am fit and healthy, I knew nothing until I came out of my Coma and my mum holding my hand screaming that I am alive, I woke up and the first thing I said "Wheres my Vape Machine" lol .. And that fellow readers is the truth of passing over I am speaking from 10000% experience in this matter, do I fear death now? No as we know NOTHING about it... I am now healthy and back to normal and have an ICD fitted inside me, just incase it happens again.. Over a year has passed and I have had no issues, my rested heart rate is 51 as I run every morning around 8 miles..!!! Love to all.. Xxx
Incredible! Hope you also gave up the vape!💨😜
Yes I have quit the vape too ❤
I experienced a black void which was nirvana to the extreme, my cup overflowed with awe and bliss (that is exactly what I felt like, it flowed through me). I wanted to stay there, was willing to die to do so, but was rather rudely kicked out in a flash of white light which lit up my entire bedroom as I felt a zap of electricity hitting me on the top of the head which brought me back feeling the pain of that charge of electricity all the way to my toes, as I threw myself out of bed trying to get away from the bolt of pain :( - For years I was angry about it. This happened in 1978... Just before being thrown out, I knew I wasn't supposed to stay there, but hung on anyway, deciding there was no way I was going to leave. Ha, I didn't have nails long enough to hold on, just speaking figuratively, I had no awareness of a body.
Thank you for being one of the doctors who listen and believe thank you means a great deal
…feeling MORE than simply “pleasant”. More like a feeling of joy they’ve never experienced before in this life. Same with their experience of “love”. It’s a love “a million times better/stronger” than they’ve ever felt before!!
I think it's less important to nail down what box you fit in, and more important to have an open mind, and heart. Thank you both for the work you've done, and continue to do. Fantastic interview.
I only share my experiences with higher vibrational souls. Many don't know my inner strength and secrets. They live in denial and I don't release my energy upon them until they have accomplished their own lessons and Soul searching .💗
He said a mouthful in the end. It's okay to know that you don't know. I wish more people would grasp this concept and just enjoy the journey. That goes for science and religious dogma.
Just a shame that people are closed off to these ideas because of their own beliefs, despite the many parallels and clues within their own religion.
I’m not afraid of dying, I’m afraid of being in pain and suffering before dying
This guy is awesome. He just lays it out in that no-nonsense, speak-and-spell way that makes it so interesting. I want to hear more from this guy.
Yes I did defiantly had an intense clearing, like everything becomes so clear, you loose all confusion and realise the earth and humanity dosnt have that absolute clarity. It's ment to be this way, we are fumbling through life, crazy world. All negativity left me, all positive memories stayed with me. Yes I came back changed, I left my bf at the time because I realised he didn't really love me. I found out later that was true. People need to know that you take all the good memories with you, sounds so simplified but that's what happened, so create the best life you can because it goes with you. What a great talk.
Sounds like boo
Thanks for exploring the new frontier Dr Grayson. As a human species, we only just began to learn about the universe from a deeper level scientifically within the last 200 years. If we discard anything that cannot be explained scientifically we are making a huge mistake. What we know so far about the Universe is just scratching the surface, I am sure that one day we will have a logical explanation of what happen after life. I think spiritual and science will converge at some point in the near future.
Big respect for Dr. Greyson , his work and contribution.
A wonderful interview, excellent host, enabled the guest to speak without interruption. I have had a near death experience myself, an amazing experience, I think many of us are unafraid of death but our fears are leaving our loved ones behind.
But is it true? Read Matthew 7 and John 14:6. REPENT.

He is also careful to note that it's important to consider anything we think we know with skepticism and investigate whether it's really true. Instead of repenting, why don't you study the scientific literature and listen to accounts of people telling their near-death experiences?

Hello Doc. Been studying life after life sense reading Doctor Richard Moody's book early 80s. My career as field medic and harm reduction frontline worker influence my interest in this panama. Open alot of interesting doors in my life time like remote viewing, studying higher consciousness, understanding time and space. Learning that pastors not really interested in talking to me. Moving forward into forth and fifth dimension. Synchronicity. Love. Selflessness. Environmentalist. Closer to Jesus.

2nd time :)

What a beautiful comment section and what an incredible interview! I am so grateful to you Dhru and the universe for bringing this into my existence. I really needed this! Thank you so much!
This is a great interview. Dr Greyson talks about NDE without hype and sensationalising it. He admits he doesn't have the answers but his experience has been invaluable and is a great benefit to anyone who listens to him. I've never had an NDE but I have experienced a blissful state during meditation and it has made me consider that there is much more than the physical reality. We have to quiet our thoughts down to a standstill to be able to experience bliss. Afterwards it's very difficult - actually impossible - to truly describe the experience.
I loved Dr. Greyson’s book and passed it on to my wife and family. Rather than simply relate cases, as is common in books on this subject, each chapter centers on a different question (e.g Does Consciousness Continue?) or subject, defines it and why it’s relevant, provides an experiencer’s story, and probes the experience in the context of the chapter’s question. I found this to be immensely helpful in bringing structure to how comprehensively Dr. Greyson presents this material. Not being an experiencer myself, I have cultivated the “healthy skepticism” in myself that Dr. Greyson speaks of in this interview, and apply same to other subjects in this genre, including reincarnation, mediumship, ESP, and other consciousness studies. IANDS is a wonderful organization, and I support them via subscription. Really great interview!
Very interesting an authentic presentation, one can see that this doctor is not a charlatan, his language, his interpretation of facts of life, his approach to the unknown shows that one can accept with a little risk of being wrong his description of what is a near death experience.Even he doesn't mention it he gives a lot of hope to those who fear death. Thank you.very much.
After a serious suicide attempt I felt I was floating in darkness calmly then saw a light, I was told it wasn't my time & must return. I had no sense of the physical world but recalled the experience vividly when I woke several days later. Initially I wasn't pleased as I was sacked, broke & homeless but felt things would be alright. I spent the few pounds I had on flowers for the staff as they had to pin me down to stop me pulling out the tube to pump my stomach. Many decades later I helped a lot of people with mental health problems, which was immensely satisfying. My grandma also appeared to me in the early hours when I suddenly woke at the time of her death, the same had happened to her with her grandfather. I used LSD when young & felt a direct connection to everything around me without thought. I am afraid of pain (I worked with dying people who had to be fed & cleaned & couldn't communicate) but not death.
Dr. Bruce Grayson is a very likable human being. He comes across as a very credible person, unlike most of his colleagues who has bent the knee to big pharma and the almighty dollar. Most doctors in the US are in the profession strictly for the money and status, not because they care about others. It’s refreshing to listen to someone that has the courage to look outside the box and speak the truth, unafraid of the establishment.
Nice interview, Dhru, thank you. And thank you, Dr. Greyson.
I've had many out body experiences, even as a child, I've had 3 near death experiences and one actual death experience, where I was give a choice to come back or go on. I chose to return as my son was only 3 months old. So fascinating. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm not in a hurry.
Is it painful or scary?
@@deadhacker7075 I can only speak from memories of 2 "post death experience" in previous lives; but, in both, I felt distress about what I couldn't do without a body (to help others I cared about); but, in neither case did I feel any physical pain. In fact, in the one I came into this life remembering, I really don't think I even knew I was dead ~ I just remember being a toddler & desperately trying to find mother. I don't have any "between life" memories; but, I believe I only carried forward those memories which were important for my goals for the present lifetime. My bio-dad died twice from a stroke, in '88; &, he had the typical NDE's on both occasions...
@@NTF-zb9wi How do u know u had past lives?
@@lollyplopperblue6239 I came into this life with memories of 1 which were so solid that I thought they were a part of this life, until I found out that I was adopted at 2 DAYS old, instead of 2 YEARS old. I've posted about it several times, maybe even on this video. Too long to repost from "notifications."
@@NTF-zb9wi What does this even mean? 2 years old or days old has to do with this.like you simply been told you are adopted.
I think that people need to address out of body experiences more. Such as the woman Dr Greyson was talking with who had had a drug overdose. Seems to me that she was not near death but out of body. This is an experience I think that many more people have than the near death experience. I have had two OOB experiences, which definitely brought me to a place of understanding that I am much more than my body and quite independent of it. We should be able to talk about it more freely and professionals should take them more seriously so that people will not be afraid of understanding these experiences for what they are.
Thank you , doctor for doing this important research. It helps so many who have lost loved ones, to feel better.
I am so fortunate to have found this podcast, it had a huge aha moment for me and I am extremely thankful.
Thank you to our host and guest. Amazing! Totally believable and a vision in a room other than the body location and detailed description “seals the deal” for me.
Glad you speak about the daily mail, I answered an ad in the daily mail to an ex ICU NHS nurse who worked with coma patients. She was studying in Wales and thanked me for my story and experiences and put it in her book.
Excellent research about an extraordinarily profound human experience. I had a mild version of the NDE, so I can personally verify some of this. Once the acknowledgment and acceptance of the greater "quantum consciousness" reality fully permeates human culture, society and civilization, the human race will be changed massively and forevermore. NOTHING will EVER be the same for us.
Great interview, Dhru! You asked so many insightful questions. Thank you so much
One reacti0n to all of these spirtiaul events is the sense of hope that one feels listening to these experiencers!!!
My mother came to me in a dream after she passed away and told me that whenever I miss her, she feels warm where she is, and it felt like absolute truth. My ache for her all these years, she knows.
I love when Dhru is interviewing such interesting people, not only the food topics
Great enterview on both parts. You asked great questions, and answers were very clear and informative. I admire any doctor or medical professionals stepping up speaking out on this,knowing it has not always been ok you can say to speak of this. Much love and look forward to reading your book.thank you to you both
Wow, what a great and profound interview. I truly enjoyed this, especially having a professional explaining the information he gathered over the years. Thank you.
What can I say about this piece? Here is an honest and courageous Soul here. All is in tandem with all I know and it's reassuring 👌💕
Thanks so much for your efforts and generosity in doing this
What a charming and eloquent gentleman Dr. Grayson is. Such a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for sharing this intriguing interview.
Dhru could you do the program with author Michael Newton, Ph.D, he is a psychotherapist, he wrote "Journey of Souls: Case Studies of Life Between Lives". He takes his patients in between lives under hypnosis, it is fascinating. The Soul has no end, takes on different bodies. Thanks to both of you for this enlightening program. Unfortunately, some religions prohibit exploring into these things.
@Luke M Oh, I am very sorry to hear of his passing away. Two of his books are very revealing of spiritual world, great books.
Journey of Souls is a must read or listen on audio books. He has a second book also
I believe that: When options are withheld honesty suffer deeply. Dr Grey provide options for different lines of thinking.
Dr. Greyson is an authentic inquirer and scientist. It's such a pleasure to listen to him, especially his takeaway regarding the benefits of NDE's. Thumbs up!
Thank you so much - you've made my life much better. All the best to you both.
Just listening to Anthony Chen's TH-cam channel with NDE Interviews, I felt what they were saying resonating in my soul and it changed my life. There is so much power in sharing your story
Wonderful interview. The host was just right. Asking the right kind of questions and not disturbing him in his stories. The Dr is amazing.
I had a near death experience in 2017. Severe car crash. I unfortunately don't remeber much of anything. I rmeber comming too as soon as we crashed. N then I woke up in the hospital. Idk if it was the anesthesia or iv pain meds. But my partner was beside me the whole time after the surgery. In icu she said I was talking to my closet friend ive ever had in my entire life. He passed away in the same hospital a year prior. She said she kept hearing me talking to him. I feel so bad that I don't remeber any of it. Nothing. I cannot even try to think of any of it. But I truley do hope I did talk to him because I loved him so much. I never had a true friend like him. Rip Tyrone perez
Sensational! It is wonderful to hear Dr Bruce! Thanks!!! From Brazil
