I just watched a fascinating video that I found on PMH Atwater’s latest newsletter. Once I saw it, I knew I would want to share it with you because it makes a perfect follow-up to my long blog on NDEs.
It runs about 45 minutes and is narrated by Dr. Sam Parnia who is one of the most prominent physicians to study what happens when we die. He is of course thoroughly familiar with NDEs, but the first part of his video deals with what we are now learning about what actually tales place at and immediately after death, and how brain functioning can sometimes be restored after we die biologically. The first part of the video also features a slew of other doctors who are giving us a new view of death, which is absolutely mind-blogging. This video is really about the new frontier in after-death studies.
The second half of the video then does segué into a number of accounts of NDEs that pretty much follow the pattern I described in my last blog. But when you hear the voices of these NDErs, they are so much more impactful than just reading about NDEs. In this segment, my good friend and longtime colleague, Dr. Bruce Greyson, is also featured as one of the principal narrative voices.
Overall, this video is sure to give you lots to think about, so if you can make the time to watch it, I guarantee you will not be disappointed. On the contrary, you will be stimulated to learn what these eminent physicians (and other scholars) have discovered about mortality. It’s not what you think!
