Could listen to him for hours ! What a brilliant man recently lost my dad pretty fast and my young sister 5 years ago unexpectedly so dr Lommel gives me real comfort. Thank you so much for these interviews 🙏🏻
This is such a, good interview. My father met me at the hospital (in which he died) as I pulled up and got out of (his) car upon my arrival. He was pure energy /waiting for me :/to communicate to me in a nanosecond that :HE WAS OK.
He’s very right. My consciousness continued after my spirit left my body after a difficult childbirth. In fact I was even more ‘conscious’ than when I was inside my body. I know that sounds unbelievable & if it hadn’t happened to me I never would have believed it. But it’s true.
HELLO 👋 I quite often think about my mortality. Strangely, it’s usually when I’ve just woke from a slumber and I’ve regained the realisation that I’ve drifted back into waking consciousness. I think to myself, oh look, I’m here again but one day this person who I am, this body will sadly die and what will become to me? Am I really something else that’s far greater than my body? It’s strange feeling, and somehow I know the answer, or I rather feel it, although that could be wishful thinking due to input of watching so many NDE videos and my philosophical ways of thinking on it all. My question to you is- When you had your NDE, what realisation did you have and how did it affect you in your life? Was it a profound sense of knowingness and that we are eternal et cetera. I’d really like to know because I’ve never had a death experience. My heart yearns for answers ❤
If you've ever seen the dead body of a loved one or anyone you knew very well, you immediately understand, that body is not the person I knew and loved, it just housed their essence/spirit/soul.and on occasion you can feel their spirit in the room
I agree. The body is just a vessel the consciousness resides in during this life. That’s what I believe after spending time with a couple of dead relatives. Our bodies are like the weatherboards of a house… just the cladding. The real life resides within…
No we don't. So your subjective impression of a dead body and lack of expression is your "proof" of the existence of the soul? It's one of the most ridiculous comments I've seen in quite a while.
@@AmplifiedBluesHarmonica I don't think consciousness resides in the body, because when we go into deep sleep, we no longer exist within that time frame until the brain brings us back into this realm each time. It's the brain that decides when to call us back. As conscious beings, we operate our bodies remotely until the brain finally stops functioning altogether.
@Macceee It should be obvious that this has nothing to do with proof or proving. People who talk about proof of love prove that they are at a massive disadvantage to experience love.
I can hold my hand on my heart and say I have experienced a out of body experience. I was in a room with 7 friends and someone spiked my drink and eventually I was above myself staring down at everyone including myself from behind. The felling was like there was two entities either side of me but I could not see them and only feel their presence. I looked down at the back of my dead confused and I remember thinking how is this possible. This was now 26 years ago and I remember it all as it was yesterday, This experience lasted maybe 5-10 minutes but at the time it felt as though I was surrounded with peace and calm and awareness with no time. I know people will say that’s the drugs but obviously this is the case but it was so real and to be able to view from behind and above in real time watching everyone talk and move as normal it was such a weird experience. After this time I felt myself float down to me and it went blurry for a second and then I was looking out of my eyes again and was totally confused as to what just happened. To this day with all the time that has passed to think about what I experienced I am led to believe that I had a OBE. 🤷♂️
@shanes5371 Out-of-body experiences do exist, and many people around the world have had them and are still having them. I had an out-of-body experience that I still remember when I was back in school, in the PE lesson in 1971. I was running through the park, and I didn't want to be here (I hated running), so I wished myself to be somewhere else. At that moment, I was no longer in my body, but the body was still running without me controlling it. The excitement of leaving my body soon turned into fear because I could not easily return back inside, which I needed to do in order to prevent it from falling over and getting terribly injured. By the way, those morons who spiked your drink were not your friends. True friends would not have treated you that way!
I had an OBE experience as a 6 y/o child during an ether induced tonsillectomy. This was about 1948. Obviously I had no idea what it was. I always thought it was just an hallucination. However, when I was in my mid 40’s I got lost (completely myself) at sea in a scuba accident. This should have been the most terrifying experience anyone can have! I had no illusions. As a surgeon, I KNEW it was almost impossible to find me. I “heard” a voice in my head to use the scuba mask to signal for the search party. This was my first dive. I had no idea that the scuba mask could be used like a mirror! I was never afraid of dying. No PTSD, no nightmares, no fear of the sea. I was baffled that I lost my fear of death. The answer was because I had already been there, or very close. There is no other reasonable explanation. Bring lost alone at sea has to be the most horrifying experience anyone can have.

Once again, a brilliant and insightful interview with the charming Dr. Pin Van Lommel! His heartfelt and scientific views blend together to bring us an inspiring glimpse into NDE'S. Thank you for this exceptional interview 🙏❤❤❤❤❤
“Everything science has taught me - and continues to teach me - strengthens my belief in the continuity of our spiritual existence after death. Nothing disappears without a trace.” - Wernher von Braun
@strafe155. Science is at odds with consciousness; it says that when the body finally packs up, then that's the end of us also. Science believes that we only exist in bodily form.
Thank you so much, Werner, and thank you Dr. van Lommel, for this marvelous discussion on consciousness. I appreciate the interpreter as well. Peace from California. ✨
You gotta love how he says, genuinely, that he wants to use strictly scientific terminology, and then - in the same breath - goes on to talk about light beings. I'm sure you need such a cheeky sense of humour to do this type of research for decades in the kinds of environments where he'll have spent most of his working life. Great contributions he has been brave enough to produce!
There is so much data out there now that more and more people are coming out with their experiences. I had an awakening a year ago and I’ve told my family and friends about it. It sounded crazy to some at first but then I backed it up with data like this video. Soon it will be mainstream science to understand that consciousness is all around us. I feel a little foolish for being a materialist for many years.
@@davecros4887 I don’t think we need to feel foolish. I saw scores of non-scientifically minded spiritual people jump off the cliff edge of conspiracy theories very quickly in the course of just a few weeks in February and March 2020. Healthy scepticism is valuable for preventing developments like that. What’s highly problematic, I think, is when materialists dig in their heels and dismiss any and all evidence that challenges the foundation of their worldview without so much as looking at it. In my case, it simply became unscientific for me to keep dismissing the overwhelming indications that materialism describes just a tiny, if very useful, aspect of existence. I’m also of the view that, if we somehow manage to clean up the mess we’ve made of this planet’s biosphere, at some point we won’t need to make a sharp distinction between science and spirituality. That this is just a matter of increasing our understanding of existence from multiple perspectives. Do you know Buddha at the Gas Pump? That’s a great podcast in which Rick Archer interviews all sorts of people with a focus on spiritual awakening. Many of these interviews (700 in total so far) touch on this point of how scientific and spiritual perspectives can complement each other in their respective efforts to deal with our current global challenges. Here on YT as well as the usual other platforms.
It is such a deep joy and delight to listen to these two humble gentleman! Love and connection are the message. Thank you very much, Mr. van Lommel and Mr. Huemer! Please, continue your uplifting work - it is very much needed!
❤ God bless you dr. You are so knowledgable and in tune with the experiences of those who have had NDEs. You are a gem, and i am so glad we have you in this lifetime. ❤️🙏🥰
Fascinating conversation. I had an awakening about a year ago. The way I found it was a lot of work. I had a profound psychic experience about 14 years ago which put me on a quest to find how that worked. Meditation was the path for me. Look within yourself. That’s where you will find that you are part of a greater consciousness. You will find oneness. You will find what most people would call God.
I have experienced NDE and OBE and definitely yes consciousness goes on, only the body passes. Energy only changes, it dosen't end or start it has always been.
Consciousness comes before and independent of the brain is looking very logical. Once the assumption is made that consciousness is independent of the brain there are other details in OBE's and NDE's to correlate too. I have had multiple spontaneous Out of Body Experiences as well as a couple of NDE like Experiences. When I was 4 years old I was hit by a car and was in a lot of pain, but when I went out of my body I didn't experience any pain. I also went in and out of my body a few times. The pain was extremely intense and constant, but the moment I left my body I was instantly pain-free, and the moment that I returned to the body the pain was instantly at 100% intensity and was constant. This instantaneous difference was experienced a few times. During an OBE I was in the middle of talking to someone, but when I went out of my body I was not able to hear what either of us were saying for minute or two and I had no ability to control or influence my words or any of my bodies actions of walking, talking, or listening. During all of this I was having my own out of body experience independently thinking and focusing elsewhere. It is like there were two separate consciousnesses in a sense. To this day I wonder "who" was experiencing having that conversation. My mind is not sophisticated enough to even formulate a question that adequately represents my wonder in that moment. I was watching my body talk to someone who was socially significant; I was desperate to make the best impression on them and all I could do was watch. When I returned to my body I had no idea what either of us had said during the entire interaction I said something like "That's interesting" and that was the end of the one and only conversation I ever had with them. * I had another OBE where I could only watch while I was playing with a hacky-sack, not letting it drop to the ground. When I was out of the body in any of those experiences I was witnessing my conscious body have an experience that I was completely independent and outside of. I can imagine a lot of incredible speculations to possibly explain it, but at a relatively baseline level there seems to be potential correlation between being out of body and having the experience of being more awake and conscious than ever before while the body is seemingly independently experiencing being dead, unconscious, under general anesthesia, in pain, or engaged in some sort of activity. It doesn't seem to matter what kind of state the body is in, the out of body consciousness seems to be capable of having a completely separate experience.
Consciousness is so common and mundane it's easily overlooked and mislabeled. You don't have to wait for NDE to experience or raise your consciousness. You can learn lucid dreaming, you can work with plant medicine (aya, mushrooms), or even intense praying. Fun times if you get yourself with a trained group.
I have experienced Out of Body States whereby my awareness was NOT in my body. I was able to go to a location and see things I could later prove accurate. Once skeptical, I now realise through my OBEs that consciousness is not limited to the brain and as the Dr states , is "non-local" so to speak. I would never have accepted such a concept until I experienced it myself. I am sure it has something to do with Quantum Entanglement but I'll never truly understand it until perhaps the day I die.
I can lucid dream, Dream and have false awakening and have had OBE that I suspected was a dream. I’ve had a real one and you will know for certain when you do. Literally like being ripped out of my body full conscience.
Again, you claim stuff that's impossible to prove, and is therefore no proof. The same goes for the NDEs. They claim they have verified cases of NDEs, yet all you're offered is to take their "word for it". I've never seen a person who had an NDE actually presenting the third party that allegedly "corroborated" their story and OBE-"perception". They just say it and it becomes some kind of scientific fact. Or the researcher says it and it's fact. Nor have I ever seen verified cases being presented in a real scientific LEGITIMATE study, with real legitimate methodology. It's absolutely ridiculous. Then they write their books too, to make some $ $ of their unverified, non-scientific, brain trip.
@@ilsedemolder3973 it's something we do every night , it's just that you forget it the experience. There are methods but I'd suggest purchasing some literature on how to have an OBE. There are techniques but you have to stay determined and committed and don't give up which most people do. Once you get there you will realise this physical reality is not all there is
But an out of body experiencia does not prove life after death. You were alive during that experience. Maybe is remote view (the atoms of your alive brain quantum connecting with atoms in another places).
This is a brilliant channel. I’m an avid viewer of NDE experiences. This interviewer is really very good indeed. Gives just the right amount of input and questions. I appreciate so much the translation into English. I gain something new from every single one of these interactions.
Love the way Dr. Lommel is questioned in German and he answers in English. His English has a definite American tinge and not a British one. I met a couple of younger Dutchmen once and their English was very American and I asked them why. Their answer? American TV shows! That is where they picked up their American English accent.
The need for these NDE’s in our human development are clear to me from my own NDE (high speed rollover freeway crash at 14yrs of age), as well as through meditations and psychedelics. I use what I believe are known as holotropic breathwork (hyperventilation followed by a series of breath holds). In performing these breath holds, I used to get very scared, in my mind the images of drowning would run vividly through my mind. As I get more familiar with the feeling of these sustained breath holds, I don’t have the same fear, but a calmness instead and a feeling of bliss. I felt this bliss in my NDE as a teen - it was after the grip of terror subsided and I accepted my fate, in that moment I felt bliss, comfort, and connectivity similar to psychedelic trips I would take later in life. What a life… 🙏🏻
In Canada, I was suggesting that Doctors should not administer "MAID" Medical Aid In Dying, but a person as a "thanatician" who has knowledge and experience of "end of life experience." Thank you for your title "Thanatos" which brings the word into use as a tool and defining the subject of assisted dying.
My mother told me about having died during my own birth. I was born feet first and face down. I weighed 10 pounds 11 ounces and was 23 inches in length. She told me that she died during my birth and told me about traveling down a tunnel of light and met many of her long deceased relatives. She said she felt pure love and wanted to stay, but she was told that she would have to return to life, which made her very angry - she didn't want to come back. When she awoke in the hospital, she was angry with the doctors for reviving her. But she would always finish this story by telling me she was no longer afraid of death, and told me she KNEW where she was going to go after she died, and couldn't WAIT to see all of her relatives again! She told me that story before Moody's book came out, and kept telling me for DECADES. After she passed away, I asked my dad if he ever got tired of hearing that story, over and over through the years. He was shocked and told me that she had never told him that story! My daughter heard it, and also couldn't believe she never told him. I hope God has forgives me for my sins, and I pray that when it's my time to go that He will accept me into Heaven.
@jerrydonovan, Why are you so angry?. Why do people like you visit these channels and then abuse other viewers?. You came to this channel and chose to watch, Why do that unless to troll. Trot along now.
You don't always have to die to have such an experience. An Out of Body experience can be quite impressive as well and you can see deceased relatives too and feel unconditional love and infinite wisdom.
This great gentleman, a down to erath professional, I hope he exactly will play a huge role in expanding peace and love to this world..I still referring his ebook , " The life Beyond Consciousness " Thanks Doctor..
Imagine the brain as a sophisticated computer, capable of processing a staggering amount of information and executing multiple tasks simultaneously. Now, consider consciousness as a USB drive that connects to the computer, storing a vast amount of experiences, memories, and knowledge. When the computer is functioning properly, it can access and process the information from the USB drive efficiently, allowing the user to interact with it smoothly and meaningfully. However, if the computer malfunctions and cannot process the content of the USB drive correctly, the latter remains intact, unaltered in its essence. Similarly, when the brain is healthy and functional, consciousness fully integrates into the human experience, enabling the individual to interact with the world and their own being consciously and coherently. But if the brain suffers some form of damage or dysfunction that affects its ability to process information, consciousness remains present in its original state, immutable and unaffected by the brain's limitations. Thus, even though the computer (brain) may fail in its processing function, the content of the USB drive (consciousness) remains as a repository of experiences and knowledge that transcends the physical limitations of the medium that houses it.
Then there is a 'cloud' that stores all these memories outside of the computer. The computer can stop running/working, but the information is stored in another location.
Maybe if you imagined consciousness as electricity, it would be a more interesting analogy? As all computers use electricity to work, yet they all have different personalities aka programs. I believe consciousness is a spectrum of awareness that fills all living things, passed on through sperm as the vehicle that it uses to build its new avatar in the womb. Plant based life is similar, but the pollen are like the eggs in the biological.
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.
Does a computer function properly if you damage, or remove, components? Perhaps consciousness is like the electricity that makes the computer work, with a damaged brain (computer) it will not function correctly so that consciousness would be disabled to "think" or "move" the avatar, that is the body, as the controls are damaged and therefore function impaired?
The reason is consciousness is in your brain when your alive. Stuart hameroff thinks quatum gravity and entanglement keep consciousness in the brain when you are alive. When you die consciousness continues in the universe. So when you have dementia it's affecting the quality of consciousness being able to express itself correctly THROUGH the brain in life. Dementia patients can be very lucid close to death when consciousness is leaving the brain. Its like having a poor signal on an annolgue radio vs DAB Digital. It's not longer inside the reducing valve / damaged brain. That's why the less active your brain becomes the more aware you become
Our brain is still an organ biological tangible material if it is not functioning physically it doesn’t mean it can’t enter the spiritual world after death this is the point discussed here you are not limited to your physical existence if you lose your arm for example that your body is just a suit you wear but once you come of your physical body you are whole again in different form perhaps infinite and ever flowing energy and spiritual being.So not having your arm doesn’t make a difference anymore as your brain because you are in a different realm at that point and in different frequency.
Conscientiousness does not decrease. Your awareness does not decrease. It is that because the body is damaged that the body does not function properly.
To Dr. Pim von Lommel: "Sir, you are an honorable, beautiful person." ... To those who believe that "consciousness is what the brain does" ... It's easy to believe that moons do not orbit Jupiter, IF YOU REFUSE TO LOOK THROUGH THE TELESCOPE! It's easy to believe "No brain, never mind" by refusing to examine the tens of thousands of persons WHO KNOW THAT CONSCIOUSNESS IS NONLOCAL AND TIMELESS. How ironic that what we believe is often a knowledge-limiting factor. Sad. The founding father of quantum mechanics, Max Planck, said this of consciousness: "I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness."
I was visited by a big ball of white golden light in my bedroom and felt what i can only describe as unconditional love which felt that it was flowing from the light through me. It also felt lovingly familiar and nurturing. I wonder if this was my guardian angel or my higher self?
Thank you :). Those of us that have had NDE, and have been visited by loved ones know that we are spiritual beings having a human experience :). Our spirit is not in our body our body is in our spirit for, just for this physical realm :).
Will I see the Love of my Life when I pass? He died in May....I am in excruciating grief still and to KNOW that he is waiting for me..that I will see him again....would truly heal my grieving heart❤
The NDE has perfectly demonstrated that the brain is incredibly unlikely to be the source of consciousness. This implication is beyond incredibly difficult to accept without more particular knowledge, but continuing to believe the brain is the source of our consciousness is now illogical.
Interesting thing indian rishis in vedas have mentioned "mrityu sharir ka hota hai atma amar hai" which means death is only of body consciousness continues
It's egotistical to think that somehow a part of us lives on. Everything we experience (external world, emotions, thoughts, memories) originate from neural processes inside the skull. The fact that we don't understand in intricate detail the correspondence between specific groups of neuron excitations and those conscious entries doesn't mean they originate from outside the skull. When the brain ceases everything we can experience ceases. All our worries are over. That's it. People look for simplistic explanations like supernatural intervention that they think explain everything but in fact explain nothing and is a scientific sell-out. Also, I think some people are wired for magical thinking so whatever I say will make no difference to them.
When you start seeing your dead relatives your animals visiting you before you die this is an external stimuli why would you experience such things if you are dying and not being able to function in this world anymore no need for it and watching yourself from above operated on and coming back to your body again what is that all about than why would the brain do that it doesn’t make sense if it is as simple as you explained there would be blackness and nothingness because that will all there is.Why would you experience such phenomenon doesn’t make sense.
HELLO ALL 👋 I’m asking for help from genuine near death experiencers! - I quite often think about my mortality. Strangely, it’s usually when I’ve just woke from a slumber and I’ve regained the realisation that I’ve drifted back into waking consciousness.

Hello I had first NDE at age 16 and it changed my life by knowing that I can not die. Dying is just transformation from one stage to another, from one body to another, from one life to another. It is complicated. My first NDE was scary, I have died in sleep completely and every senses start to shutting down in complete darkness puling me down like you are under tones of weight. All the feelings and emotion you had mixed together with maximum strength. In the same time you wish to let go and surrender and in the same time you struggle to live. My will to live, to move, to get out of this stage was so strong that i came back to life struggling with breathing again in shock, fear, and darkness of the night. After that i left religion and started to do spiritually quest for the truth and awakening. This leads me to many light and dark stages after there was complete realization. We are immortal beings living in many dimensions of existence all the time. We are not alone and certainly not a body that dies and we gone with it forever. My honest advice is to watch spiritually awakening videos to start awake yourself step by step. This is long but powerful process. Once you have OBEs out of body experience you will realize that you are far more than body and learn from every experience. Take care
@@3Dmodel1-43 thanks and yes it is a gradual process, but I think I’m steadily on my way. It can just be scary in not knowing because I have not experienced it firsthand like others. Not that I wish to experience it until it is my time. A big part of the fear is leaving everyone behind and not accomplishing everything, not necessarily my end. Thanks 🙏
How silly that someone can think a flat line doesn’t PROVE there’s no residual brain function but they can’t imagine the magnificence of consciousness.
19:00 That is a good explanation. Maybe our brains even already have this memories stored, prepared, for when we "sleep" and come back. A big evidence is that during the NDE they tend to be told that it's still not their time, that they need to return before they return. How would it be known to the "souls" that the "sleep" is temporary? How would they know that the heart would start beating again before it does? Maybe it's something that 20% of people's brains have in order to help the person endure the trauma they might have had before "sleeping". Also another evidence is that the time period in which the NDE happens tends to not be the same as the one experienced by the person. So they can well be false memories that the brain creates in order to help the person on their return.
I'm science orientated by nature. Apart from my own experiences, the veridical evidence from medical staff of Doctors, Nurses, Technicians who are told of observations by the NDE'rs who are not capable of seeing and witnessing or conscious while under anesthesia or even pronounced dead at the time. Just not possible and we are talking hundreds, thousands of these veridical NDE's.
The problem is, nonphysical, spiritual realm, these terms don't have any proper definitions so it is difficult to know how we can be using terms like this when we don't know what they mean. Experience and physicality seem to be complementary sides of a coin, which would imply that any experience, even the rarified experience of NDEs, must have some complement in the material aspect of nature, unless you are really espousing dualism (which actually has very difficult problems). Another possibility exists. Yes, the individual brain is offline during an NDE, but if brains are entangled in some sense, especially at a collective unconscious level, then these experiences could be happening "there". Rather than existing in a weightless and purely speculative 'nonphysical' realm, they would rely on the collective neurology of the species, which is always "awake" unless the human race were to go extinct.
⚠️ Do you mean consciousness or AWARENESS ? They are two different things. What about consciousness without any memory ? Does memory of this life survives after death, or like some Buddhists and oriental schools say that consciousness without memory ? 😮😮
I do not want to come back here ever again! I will use my intention. I will not go to "the light". I don't want "anyone" to approach me @ death. I will not be tricked to come back here anymore!! I want out of this matrix hell FOREVER!
As a Buddhist, the mind is merely the sixth sense organ. Consciousness is the illusion of our senses. And our senses are dependent on sensible objects which are themselves dependent on sensual experiences. We are not our consciousness. Just as we are not our minds or any of our senses. What we are is something VASTLY more interesting. Death most certainly ends the self, but fortunately that self has very little to do with what it is that manifested that temporary self.
If the brain is only the receptor and if there is no neural activity during one NDE, how can we have memories of this NDE ? Indeed a non functionning brain cannot receive information...
I enjoyed this. However a recent controversial study showed that pigs heads taken from an abattoir 5 hours after death, showed electricial activity when they were hooked up to appropriate medical devices. Showing that brain cells appeared to be still functioning many hours after death. That study was kept under wraps due to the unethical implications of such an experiment
People's heads are not hooked up to medical devices after they die, yet those people are conscious. And there's no evidence that whatever their brain state is after they die it can produce their subjective experience . Also there are people who remember time before their conception including seeing and chosing their parents. If consciousness is produced by the brain using electricity then such thing would be impossible.
Everything we think is a result of processes in our nerve cells. Take the nerve cells away and the thoughts are gone as well. There is no reason except vanity to suppose otherwise. The spirit and the flesh are one, not two things.
There is a definition of consciousness: being. What is the relation between the brain a consciousness? The brain is an antenna that tune a fixed frequency of consciousness that is molded by the myths (mainly the ego myth) and paradigms of the society in which the individual live, if he is considered a sane individual. I clarify this because being sane in a sick society...This being said the brain can tune to other frequencies by the use of drugs, fasting, meditation, art, prayer. But this doctor is totally right: if it didn`t start, it won`t end. By the way, isn`t ayahuasca called the vine of death. Many indigenous people or strangers with have tried it have seen death people, often relatives. The problem with ayahuasca is that it can be dismissed by those who have not tried it as an hallucinogenic. I don`t like that name but so be it. Why are all hallucinations not real? It is an unproven assumption. This world is dying because capitalism in which only gain is important and scientific materialism, a doctrine that believe that the spiritual realm is non-existent. They say it cannot be proven objectively, therefore is pure nonsense. But subjective reality is as important as it counterpart, and the spiritual world can certainly be experienced. You cannot prove the existence of God but you certainly can feel it, you can experience God. God is an experience. May be the ones who didn`t have a near death experience, had something unresolved in their life. To finish this comment I should say that spiritual reality is not pure light. Hell exist too, not as an inescapable reality but one where one cleans oneself, or decide to go deeper.Many famous people will go straight to hell.
I read a book written by cardiologist Pim van Lomme, namely "Consciousness Beyond Life". Now, apart from natural cardiac arrest, to study NDE, is there only one way to induce a cardiac arrest to a few second (no EEG) ?
Could listen to him for hours ! What a brilliant man recently lost my dad pretty fast and my young sister 5 years ago unexpectedly so dr Lommel gives me real comfort. Thank you so much for these interviews 🙏🏻

He’s very right. My consciousness continued after my spirit left my body after a difficult childbirth. In fact I was even more ‘conscious’ than when I was inside my body. I know that sounds unbelievable & if it hadn’t happened to me I never would have believed it. But it’s true.

I like Pim's explanation of not talking of 'Life after death' because life is a biological process. It's consciousness after death. Nice.
If you've ever seen the dead body of a loved one or anyone you knew very well, you immediately understand, that body is not the person I knew and loved, it just housed their essence/spirit/soul.and on occasion you can feel their spirit in the room
I agree. The body is just a vessel the consciousness resides in during this life. That’s what I believe after spending time with a couple of dead relatives. Our bodies are like the weatherboards of a house… just the cladding. The real life resides within…
No we don't. So your subjective impression of a dead body and lack of expression is your "proof" of the existence of the soul? It's one of the most ridiculous comments I've seen in quite a while.
@@AmplifiedBluesHarmonica
I don't think consciousness resides in the body, because when we go into deep sleep, we no longer exist within that time frame until the brain brings us back into this realm each time. It's the brain that decides when to call us back. As conscious beings, we operate our bodies remotely until the brain finally stops functioning altogether.
Fact
@Macceee It should be obvious that this has nothing to do with proof or proving.
People who talk about proof of love prove that they are at a massive disadvantage to experience love.
Thank you very much. It's always interesting to listen to Pim Van Lommel
I am nearly 80, I had a good life, dying will be the end of sadness, I don't want
to come back here or anywhere, let me RIP.
That's so cool, you're so lucky.

Pim van Lommel , an internationally renowned doctor and investigator into NDEs. Thank you once again Herr Hümer for this groundbreaking interview.
I never tire of listening to Dr. Pim van Lommel. I loved the interview, the questions were very well put. Thank you
I can hold my hand on my heart and say I have experienced a out of body experience. I was in a room with 7 friends and someone spiked my drink and eventually I was above myself staring down at everyone including myself from behind. The felling was like there was two entities either side of me but I could not see them and only feel their presence. I looked down at the back of my dead confused and I remember thinking how is this possible. This was now 26 years ago and I remember it all as it was yesterday, This experience lasted maybe 5-10 minutes but at the time it felt as though I was surrounded with peace and calm and awareness with no time. I know people will say that’s the drugs but obviously this is the case but it was so real and to be able to view from behind and above in real time watching everyone talk and move as normal it was such a weird experience. After this time I felt myself float down to me and it went blurry for a second and then I was looking out of my eyes again and was totally confused as to what just happened. To this day with all the time that has passed to think about what I experienced I am led to believe that I had a OBE. 🤷♂️
@shanes5371
Out-of-body experiences do exist, and many people around the world have had them and are still having them. I had an out-of-body experience that I still remember when I was back in school, in the PE lesson in 1971. I was running through the park, and I didn't want to be here (I hated running), so I wished myself to be somewhere else. At that moment, I was no longer in my body, but the body was still running without me controlling it. The excitement of leaving my body soon turned into fear because I could not easily return back inside, which I needed to do in order to prevent it from falling over and getting terribly injured. By the way, those morons who spiked your drink were not your friends. True friends would not have treated you that way!
I had an OBE experience as a 6 y/o child during an ether induced tonsillectomy. This was about 1948. Obviously I had no idea what it was. I always thought it was just an hallucination.
However, when I was in my mid 40’s I got lost (completely myself) at sea in a scuba accident.
This should have been the most terrifying experience anyone can have! I had no illusions. As a surgeon, I KNEW it was almost impossible to find me.
I “heard” a voice in my head to use the scuba mask to signal for the search party. This was my first dive. I had no idea that the scuba mask could be used like a mirror!
I was never afraid of dying. No PTSD, no nightmares, no fear of the sea.
I was baffled that I lost my fear of death. The answer was because I had already been there, or very close.
There is no other reasonable explanation. Bring lost alone at sea has to be the most horrifying experience anyone can have.

Once again, a brilliant and insightful interview with the charming Dr. Pin Van Lommel! His heartfelt and scientific views blend together to bring us an inspiring glimpse into NDE'S. Thank you for this exceptional interview 🙏❤❤❤❤❤
“Everything science has taught me - and continues to teach me - strengthens my belief in the continuity of our spiritual existence after death. Nothing disappears without a trace.” - Wernher von Braun
A funny quote from a man responsible for the deaths of countless innocent civilians with his nazi rockets.
Spoken like a true Nazis rocket scientist who did a luck flip to working for US
nothing is lost...
@strafe155.
Science is at odds with consciousness; it says that when the body finally packs up, then that's the end of us also. Science believes that we only exist in bodily form.
Dr. van Lommel is one of my favorite presenters
Thank you so much, Werner, and thank you Dr. van Lommel, for this marvelous discussion on consciousness. I appreciate the interpreter as well. Peace from California. ✨
You gotta love how he says, genuinely, that he wants to use strictly scientific terminology, and then - in the same breath - goes on to talk about light beings. I'm sure you need such a cheeky sense of humour to do this type of research for decades in the kinds of environments where he'll have spent most of his working life. Great contributions he has been brave enough to produce!
There is so much data out there now that more and more people are coming out with their experiences. I had an awakening a year ago and I’ve told my family and friends about it. It sounded crazy to some at first but then I backed it up with data like this video. Soon it will be mainstream science to understand that consciousness is all around us. I feel a little foolish for being a materialist for many years.
@@davecros4887
I don’t think we need to feel foolish.
I saw scores of non-scientifically minded spiritual people jump off the cliff edge of conspiracy theories very quickly in the course of just a few weeks in February and March 2020.
Healthy scepticism is valuable for preventing developments like that.
What’s highly problematic, I think, is when materialists dig in their heels and dismiss any and all evidence that challenges the foundation of their worldview without so much as looking at it.
In my case, it simply became unscientific for me to keep dismissing the overwhelming indications that materialism describes just a tiny, if very useful, aspect of existence.
I’m also of the view that, if we somehow manage to clean up the mess we’ve made of this planet’s biosphere, at some point we won’t need to make a sharp distinction between science and spirituality. That this is just a matter of increasing our understanding of existence from multiple perspectives. Do you know Buddha at the Gas Pump? That’s a great podcast in which Rick Archer interviews all sorts of people with a focus on spiritual awakening. Many of these interviews (700 in total so far) touch on this point of how scientific and spiritual perspectives can complement each other in their respective efforts to deal with our current global challenges. Here on YT as well as the usual other platforms.
It is such a deep joy and delight to listen to these two humble gentleman! Love and connection are the message. Thank you very much, Mr. van Lommel and Mr. Huemer! Please, continue your uplifting work - it is very much needed!
❤ God bless you dr.
You are so knowledgable and in tune with the experiences of those who have had NDEs. You are a gem, and i am so glad we have you in this lifetime. ❤️🙏🥰
Fascinating conversation. I had an awakening about a year ago. The way I found it was a lot of work. I had a profound psychic experience about 14 years ago which put me on a quest to find how that worked. Meditation was the path for me. Look within yourself. That’s where you will find that you are part of a greater consciousness. You will find oneness. You will find what most people would call God.
Another great interview!
One of your best interview videos outside of interviewing a NED experiencer.
Listen to this man if you only ever listen to one persons ideas on this subject.
Love Pim. ❤
Thank you, Pim van Lommel, for your work and your thoughts! ❤
I have experienced NDE and OBE and definitely yes consciousness goes on, only the body passes. Energy only changes, it dosen't end or start it has always been.
Consciousness comes before and independent of the brain is looking very logical. Once the assumption is made that consciousness is independent of the brain there are other details in OBE's and NDE's to correlate too. I have had multiple spontaneous Out of Body Experiences as well as a couple of NDE like Experiences.
When I was 4 years old I was hit by a car and was in a lot of pain, but when I went out of my body I didn't experience any pain. I also went in and out of my body a few times. The pain was extremely intense and constant, but the moment I left my body I was instantly pain-free, and the moment that I returned to the body the pain was instantly at 100% intensity and was constant. This instantaneous difference was experienced a few times.
During an OBE I was in the middle of talking to someone, but when I went out of my body I was not able to hear what either of us were saying for minute or two and I had no ability to control or influence my words or any of my bodies actions of walking, talking, or listening. During all of this I was having my own out of body experience independently thinking and focusing elsewhere. It is like there were two separate consciousnesses in a sense. To this day I wonder "who" was experiencing having that conversation. My mind is not sophisticated enough to even formulate a question that adequately represents my wonder in that moment. I was watching my body talk to someone who was socially significant; I was desperate to make the best impression on them and all I could do was watch. When I returned to my body I had no idea what either of us had said during the entire interaction I said something like "That's interesting" and that was the end of the one and only conversation I ever had with them. * I had another OBE where I could only watch while I was playing with a hacky-sack, not letting it drop to the ground.
When I was out of the body in any of those experiences I was witnessing my conscious body have an experience that I was completely independent and outside of. I can imagine a lot of incredible speculations to possibly explain it, but at a relatively baseline level there seems to be potential correlation between being out of body and having the experience of being more awake and conscious than ever before while the body is seemingly independently experiencing being dead, unconscious, under general anesthesia, in pain, or engaged in some sort of activity. It doesn't seem to matter what kind of state the body is in, the out of body consciousness seems to be capable of having a completely separate experience.
Consciousness is so common and mundane it's easily overlooked and mislabeled. You don't have to wait for NDE to experience or raise your consciousness. You can learn lucid dreaming, you can work with plant medicine (aya, mushrooms), or even intense praying. Fun times if you get yourself with a trained group.
Ketamine was an unbelievably useful tool to bring me back to center of my self. Back to pure awareness.
I have experienced Out of Body States whereby my awareness was NOT in my body. I was able to go to a location and see things I could later prove accurate. Once skeptical, I now realise through my OBEs that consciousness is not limited to the brain and as the Dr states , is "non-local" so to speak. I would never have accepted such a concept until I experienced it myself. I am sure it has something to do with Quantum Entanglement but I'll never truly understand it until perhaps the day I die.
I can lucid dream, Dream and have false awakening and have had OBE that I suspected was a dream. I’ve had a real one and you will know for certain when you do. Literally like being ripped out of my body full conscience.
What did you do, what kind of technique did you use to experience an out-of-body state?
Again, you claim stuff that's impossible to prove, and is therefore no proof. The same goes for the NDEs. They claim they have verified cases of NDEs, yet all you're offered is to take their "word for it". I've never seen a person who had an NDE actually presenting the third party that allegedly "corroborated" their story and OBE-"perception". They just say it and it becomes some kind of scientific fact. Or the researcher says it and it's fact. Nor have I ever seen verified cases being presented in a real scientific LEGITIMATE study, with real legitimate methodology. It's absolutely ridiculous. Then they write their books too, to make some $ $ of their unverified, non-scientific, brain trip.
@@ilsedemolder3973 it's something we do every night , it's just that you forget it the experience. There are methods but I'd suggest purchasing some literature on how to have an OBE. There are techniques but you have to stay determined and committed and don't give up which most people do. Once you get there you will realise this physical reality is not all there is
But an out of body experiencia does not prove life after death.
You were alive during that experience. Maybe is remote view (the atoms of your alive brain quantum connecting with atoms in another places).
What an amazing man, so grateful for Pim's wonderful work and insights, thank you so much for the interview!
This is a brilliant channel. I’m an avid viewer of NDE experiences. This interviewer is really very good indeed. Gives just the right amount of input and questions. I appreciate so much the translation into English. I gain something new from every single one of these interactions.
Long live the cardiologist Mr PIM
❤ Wonderful,wonderful guest...❤
Thank you!
Grazie per questa interessante intervista. Sono felice che anche i dottori e scienziati studiano queste meravigliose esperienze ❤
Love the way Dr. Lommel is questioned in German and he answers in English. His English has a definite American tinge and not a British one. I met a couple of younger Dutchmen once and their English was very American and I asked them why. Their answer? American TV shows! That is where they picked up their American English accent.
I’m here! Love it when these come out. Pure light, love, hope. ❤
The need for these NDE’s in our human development are clear to me from my own NDE (high speed rollover freeway crash at 14yrs of age), as well as through meditations and psychedelics. I use what I believe are known as holotropic breathwork (hyperventilation followed by a series of breath holds). In performing these breath holds, I used to get very scared, in my mind the images of drowning would run vividly through my mind. As I get more familiar with the feeling of these sustained breath holds, I don’t have the same fear, but a calmness instead and a feeling of bliss.
I felt this bliss in my NDE as a teen - it was after the grip of terror subsided and I accepted my fate, in that moment I felt bliss, comfort, and connectivity similar to psychedelic trips I would take later in life.
What a life… 🙏🏻
In Canada, I was suggesting that Doctors should not administer "MAID" Medical Aid In Dying, but a person as a "thanatician" who has knowledge and experience of "end of life experience." Thank you for your title "Thanatos" which brings the word into use as a tool and defining the subject of assisted dying.
👏👏👍🙏
My mother told me about having died during my own birth. I was born feet first and face down. I weighed 10 pounds 11 ounces and was 23 inches in length. She told me that she died during my birth and told me about traveling down a tunnel of light and met many of her long deceased relatives. She said she felt pure love and wanted to stay, but she was told that she would have to return to life, which made her very angry - she didn't want to come back. When she awoke in the hospital, she was angry with the doctors for reviving her. But she would always finish this story by telling me she was no longer afraid of death, and told me she KNEW where she was going to go after she died, and couldn't WAIT to see all of her relatives again!
She told me that story before Moody's book came out, and kept telling me for DECADES. After she passed away, I asked my dad if he ever got tired of hearing that story, over and over through the years. He was shocked and told me that she had never told him that story! My daughter heard it, and also couldn't believe she never told him.
I hope God has forgives me for my sins, and I pray that when it's my time to go that He will accept me into Heaven.
You possess the mind of a child.
Thank you for sharing your mother’s experience. I really appreciate it!❤

Superb interview…thank you so so much. And thank you to this lovely doctor, I wish he was our doctor. 🙏🏻💕
You don't always have to die to have such an experience. An Out of Body experience can be quite impressive as well and you can see deceased relatives too and feel unconditional love and infinite wisdom.
This great gentleman, a down to erath professional, I hope he exactly will play a huge role in expanding peace and love to this world..I still referring his ebook , " The life Beyond Consciousness " Thanks Doctor..
Imagine the brain as a sophisticated computer, capable of processing a staggering amount of information and executing multiple tasks simultaneously. Now, consider consciousness as a USB drive that connects to the computer, storing a vast amount of experiences, memories, and knowledge.
When the computer is functioning properly, it can access and process the information from the USB drive efficiently, allowing the user to interact with it smoothly and meaningfully. However, if the computer malfunctions and cannot process the content of the USB drive correctly, the latter remains intact, unaltered in its essence.
Similarly, when the brain is healthy and functional, consciousness fully integrates into the human experience, enabling the individual to interact with the world and their own being consciously and coherently. But if the brain suffers some form of damage or dysfunction that affects its ability to process information, consciousness remains present in its original state, immutable and unaffected by the brain's limitations.
Thus, even though the computer (brain) may fail in its processing function, the content of the USB drive (consciousness) remains as a repository of experiences and knowledge that transcends the physical limitations of the medium that houses it.
Then there is a 'cloud' that stores all these memories outside of the computer. The computer can stop running/working, but the information is stored in another location.
Maybe if you imagined consciousness as electricity, it would be a more interesting analogy? As all computers use electricity to work, yet they all have different personalities aka programs. I believe consciousness is a spectrum of awareness that fills all living things, passed on through sperm as the vehicle that it uses to build its new avatar in the womb. Plant based life is similar, but the pollen are like the eggs in the biological.
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.
But why is consciousness dramatically decreased or changed when someone had a stroke or dementia? If its not in our brain?
Does a computer function properly if you damage, or remove, components?
Perhaps consciousness is like the electricity that makes the computer work, with a damaged brain (computer) it will not function correctly so that consciousness would be disabled to "think" or "move" the avatar, that is the body, as the controls are damaged and therefore function impaired?
The reason is consciousness is in your brain when your alive. Stuart hameroff thinks quatum gravity and entanglement keep consciousness in the brain when you are alive. When you die consciousness continues in the universe. So when you have dementia it's affecting the quality of consciousness being able to express itself correctly THROUGH the brain in life. Dementia patients can be very lucid close to death when consciousness is leaving the brain. Its like having a poor signal on an annolgue radio vs DAB Digital. It's not longer inside the reducing valve / damaged brain. That's why the less active your brain becomes the more aware you become
He already answered it in the interview did you not watch the video?
Our brain is still an organ biological tangible material if it is not functioning physically it doesn’t mean it can’t enter the spiritual world after death this is the point discussed here you are not limited to your physical existence if you lose your arm for example that your body is just a suit you wear but once you come of your physical body you are whole again in different form perhaps infinite and ever flowing energy and spiritual being.So not having your arm doesn’t make a difference anymore as your brain because you are in a different realm at that point and in different frequency.
Conscientiousness does not decrease. Your awareness does not decrease. It is that because the body is damaged that the body does not function properly.
There is only one consciousness, it never began and never ends. The consciousness you think you have is an illusion.
To Dr. Pim von Lommel: "Sir, you are an honorable, beautiful person." ...
To those who believe that "consciousness is what the brain does" ... It's easy to believe that moons do not orbit Jupiter, IF YOU REFUSE TO LOOK THROUGH THE TELESCOPE! It's easy to believe "No brain, never mind" by refusing to examine the tens of thousands of persons WHO KNOW THAT CONSCIOUSNESS IS NONLOCAL AND TIMELESS. How ironic that what we believe is often a knowledge-limiting factor. Sad.
The founding father of quantum mechanics, Max Planck, said this of consciousness: "I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness."
I was visited by a big ball of white golden light in my bedroom and felt what i can only describe as unconditional love which felt that it was flowing from the light through me. It also felt lovingly familiar and nurturing. I wonder if this was my guardian angel or my higher self?
Neither nor!
Excellent thank you 🙏
Thank you :). Those of us that have had NDE, and have been visited by loved ones know that we are spiritual beings having a human experience :). Our spirit is not in our body our body is in our spirit for, just for this physical realm :).
Will I see the Love of my Life when I pass? He died in May....I am in excruciating grief still and to KNOW that he is waiting for me..that I will see him again....would truly heal my grieving heart❤
The NDE has perfectly demonstrated that the brain is incredibly unlikely to be the source of consciousness. This implication is beyond incredibly difficult to accept without more particular knowledge, but continuing to believe the brain is the source of our consciousness is now illogical.
Fascinating!
I believe what Dr. Pim van Lommel says.
My cousin just passed, I’m just looking for answer 😞
❤🙏🏼
Well as Tesla said when we start studying this sort of phenomenon we will understand what we are and will advance in science more than now.
Thank you, very much!!
No beginning and no end, infinit.. thats the definition ❤
Interesting thing indian rishis in vedas have mentioned "mrityu sharir ka hota hai atma amar hai" which means death is only of body consciousness continues
Excellent interview, thank you.
Great 👍
Appreciate WITH respect
Great interview, nothing to add
very nice conversation.
It's egotistical to think that somehow a part of us lives on. Everything we experience (external world, emotions, thoughts, memories) originate from neural processes inside the skull. The fact that we don't understand in intricate detail the correspondence between specific groups of neuron excitations and those conscious entries doesn't mean they originate from outside the skull. When the brain ceases everything we can experience ceases. All our worries are over. That's it. People look for simplistic explanations like supernatural intervention that they think explain everything but in fact explain nothing and is a scientific sell-out. Also, I think some people are wired for magical thinking so whatever I say will make no difference to them.
When you start seeing your dead relatives your animals visiting you before you die this is an external stimuli why would you experience such things if you are dying and not being able to function in this world anymore no need for it and watching yourself from above operated on and coming back to your body again what is that all about than why would the brain do that it doesn’t make sense if it is as simple as you explained there would be blackness and nothingness because that will all there is.Why would you experience such phenomenon doesn’t make sense.
im so dang curious as to what is next and what its like!
For those who don't believe, no proof will ever be enough.
HELLO ALL 👋
I’m asking for help from genuine near death experiencers! - I quite often think about my mortality. Strangely, it’s usually when I’ve just woke from a slumber and I’ve regained the realisation that I’ve drifted back into waking consciousness. I think to myself, oh look, I’m here again but one day this person who I am, this body will sadly die and what will become to me? Am I really something else that’s far greater than my body? It’s strange feeling, and somehow I know the answer, or I rather feel it, although that could be wishful thinking due to input of watching so many NDE videos and my philosophical ways of thinking on it all.
My question to you is-
When you had your NDE, what realisation did you have and how did it affect you in your life? Was it a profound sense of knowingness and that we are eternal et cetera. I’d really like to know because I’ve never had a death experience. My heart yearns for answers ❤
Hello I had first NDE at age 16 and it changed my life by knowing that I can not die. Dying is just transformation from one stage to another, from one body to another, from one life to another. It is complicated. My first NDE was scary, I have died in sleep completely and every senses start to shutting down in complete darkness puling me down like you are under tones of weight. All the feelings and emotion you had mixed together with maximum strength. In the same time you wish to let go and surrender and in the same time you struggle to live. My will to live, to move, to get out of this stage was so strong that i came back to life struggling with breathing again in shock, fear, and darkness of the night. After that i left religion and started to do spiritually quest for the truth and awakening. This leads me to many light and dark stages after there was complete realization. We are immortal beings living in many dimensions of existence all the time. We are not alone and certainly not a body that dies and we gone with it forever. My honest advice is to watch spiritually awakening videos to start awake yourself step by step. This is long but powerful process. Once you have OBEs out of body experience you will realize that you are far more than body and learn from every experience. Take care
@@3Dmodel1-43 thanks and yes it is a gradual process, but I think I’m steadily on my way. It can just be scary in not knowing because I have not experienced it firsthand like others. Not that I wish to experience it until it is my time. A big part of the fear is leaving everyone behind and not accomplishing everything, not necessarily my end. Thanks 🙏
To all theists and believers of after death life: Start educating your selves and start thinking critically..
How silly that someone can think a flat line doesn’t PROVE there’s no residual brain function but they can’t imagine the magnificence of consciousness.
Wonderful information 🙏🤍🕊🕯👼
Constructive interview
19:00 That is a good explanation. Maybe our brains even already have this memories stored, prepared, for when we "sleep" and come back. A big evidence is that during the NDE they tend to be told that it's still not their time, that they need to return before they return. How would it be known to the "souls" that the "sleep" is temporary? How would they know that the heart would start beating again before it does? Maybe it's something that 20% of people's brains have in order to help the person endure the trauma they might have had before "sleeping". Also another evidence is that the time period in which the NDE happens tends to not be the same as the one experienced by the person. So they can well be false memories that the brain creates in order to help the person on their return.
great interview!
I'm with you x
Thanks a lot for sharing 🌹
I'm science orientated by nature. Apart from my own experiences, the veridical evidence from medical staff of Doctors, Nurses, Technicians who are told of observations by the NDE'rs who are not capable of seeing and witnessing or conscious while under anesthesia or even pronounced dead at the time. Just not possible and we are talking hundreds, thousands of these veridical NDE's.
What?.
The problem is, nonphysical, spiritual realm, these terms don't have any proper definitions so it is difficult to know how we can be using terms like this when we don't know what they mean. Experience and physicality seem to be complementary sides of a coin, which would imply that any experience, even the rarified experience of NDEs, must have some complement in the material aspect of nature, unless you are really espousing dualism (which actually has very difficult problems).
Another possibility exists. Yes, the individual brain is offline during an NDE, but if brains are entangled in some sense, especially at a collective unconscious level, then these experiences could be happening "there". Rather than existing in a weightless and purely speculative 'nonphysical' realm, they would rely on the collective neurology of the species, which is always "awake" unless the human race were to go extinct.
⚠️ Do you mean consciousness or AWARENESS ? They are two different things. What about consciousness without any memory ? Does memory of this life survives after death, or like some Buddhists and oriental schools say that consciousness without memory ? 😮😮
I do not want to come back here ever again! I will use my intention. I will not go to "the light". I don't want "anyone" to approach me @ death. I will not be tricked to come back here anymore!! I want out of this matrix hell FOREVER!
Yes same
What about before we were born? I don't know, this kinda implies that consciousness is eternal... that always existed.
Thank you for Pim. What does he think of nder’s being tricked by the light vs those who go to the void and feel peace and sovereignty?
What do you mean by "tricked by the light"? As far as I know the light doesn't play tricks on us.
@@frankrault3190nobody understands light, not even the smartest people on the planet,
As a Buddhist, the mind is merely the sixth sense organ. Consciousness is the illusion of our senses. And our senses are dependent on sensible objects which are themselves dependent on sensual experiences. We are not our consciousness. Just as we are not our minds or any of our senses. What we are is something VASTLY more interesting. Death most certainly ends the self, but fortunately that self has very little to do with what it is that manifested that temporary self.
Thanks
On those american nde channels, those people always have stories about jezus or god blablabla.
♥️
If the brain is only the receptor and if there is no neural activity during one NDE, how can we have memories of this NDE ? Indeed a non functionning brain cannot receive information...
So are we conscious before our birth?
Why do you think you were born?
@deanswift9132 Because our parents had sex, its no deeper than that.
An unintentional ASMR
I enjoyed this. However a recent controversial study showed that pigs heads taken from an abattoir 5 hours after death, showed electricial activity when they were hooked up to appropriate medical devices. Showing that brain cells appeared to be still functioning many hours after death. That study was kept under wraps due to the unethical implications of such an experiment
People's heads are not hooked up to medical devices after they die, yet those people are conscious. And there's no evidence that whatever their brain state is after they die it can produce their subjective experience . Also there are people who remember time before their conception including seeing and chosing their parents. If consciousness is produced by the brain using electricity then such thing would be impossible.
Everything we think is a result of processes in our nerve cells. Take the nerve cells away and the thoughts are gone as well. There is no reason except vanity to suppose otherwise. The spirit and the flesh are one, not two things.
Its same as we hindu belive life is eternal and body dead not life we called in Sanskrit atma
There is a definition of consciousness: being. What is the relation between the brain a consciousness? The brain is an antenna that tune a fixed frequency of consciousness that is molded by the myths (mainly the ego myth) and paradigms of the society in which the individual live, if he is considered a sane individual. I clarify this because being sane in a sick society...This being said the brain can tune to other frequencies by the use of drugs, fasting, meditation, art, prayer. But this doctor is totally right: if it didn`t start, it won`t end. By the way, isn`t ayahuasca called the vine of death. Many indigenous people or strangers with have tried it have seen death people, often relatives. The problem with ayahuasca is that it can be dismissed by those who have not tried it as an hallucinogenic. I don`t like that name but so be it. Why are all hallucinations not real? It is an unproven assumption. This world is dying because capitalism in which only gain is important and scientific materialism, a doctrine that believe that the spiritual realm is non-existent. They say it cannot be proven objectively, therefore is pure nonsense. But subjective reality is as important as it counterpart, and the spiritual world can certainly be experienced. You cannot prove the existence of God but you certainly can feel it, you can experience God. God is an experience. May be the ones who didn`t have a near death experience, had something unresolved in their life. To finish this comment I should say that spiritual reality is not pure light. Hell exist too, not as an inescapable reality but one where one cleans oneself, or decide to go deeper.Many famous people will go straight to hell.
Hindus have been saying this forever…
Hallo Herr Huemer
Wird Es dieses interview auch auf Deutsch ubersetzt geben?
Ja.
I read a book written by cardiologist Pim van Lomme, namely "Consciousness Beyond Life".
Now, apart from natural cardiac arrest, to study NDE, is there only one way to induce a cardiac arrest to a few second (no EEG) ?
