This is the past lives podcast, Episode 281, and I'm your host, Simon Bown.

My mission here at the past lives podcast is to investigate evidence that demonstrates survival of a human soul.

We will look at past life memories, near-death experiences, spirit communication and other

incredible phenomena.

And please look out for the past lives podcast episodes called Paranormal Stories

and they're released every Thursday.

And if you want to hear the extended version of this episode, please join the Patreon campaign.

This week, I'm talking to Alexander Batteny about his book, Threshold, Terminal

Lucidity and the Border of Life and Death. Professor Alexander Batonty, PhD, holds

the chair of the Research Institute for Theoretical Psychology and Personalist Studies

at Pazami Peter Catholic University in Budapest. Since 2012, Batoni is visiting professor

for existential psychotherapy at the Moscow University Institute for Psychoanalysis in Russia.

He is director of the Victor Frankel Institute and first editor of the 14-volume edition

of the Collected Works of Victor Frankel.

Batoni has published over 15 books which have been translated into 11 languages.

He lectures wildly on philosophical and existential psychology on the quest for a meaningful life,

theory of cognitive science and the psychology of death and dying.

Hi, Alexander.

Thanks a lot for coming to the podcast.

Thank you, Simon.

It's a pleasure to be here.

So we're going to talk about your book.
