Summary

Thousands, perhaps millions, of people have had near-death experiences (NDEs). Why do so many report uncannily similar experiences? What are they—a simple trick of the mind and body or something more? What are we to make of them, and do they tell us anything about the possibility of an afterlife?

An illuminating and thought-provoking journey into the enigmatic territory where science, spirituality, and human consciousness converge, Near Death Experiences: Afterlife Journeys and Revelations presents a comprehensive journey through different interpretations of NDEs:

The Scientific. What neuroscience, medicine, and biology have to say about what happens at the brink of death.
The Religious. What NDE-like experiences found in the Bible, the Tibetan Book of the Dead, the Talmud, the Quran, and other religious tracts tell us.
Historic and Personal. What folklore and personal stories reveal about this alternate consciousness that occurs during a life-threatening situation.
The Metaphysical. Possible answers involving quantum reality, parallel universes, and the subconscious.

Challenging you to explore all possibilities, Near Death Experiences will have you reconsidering your understanding of life, death, and consciousness!

0:00.0	The Oh, Welcome to Destiny. Now he's your host, Cliff Dunning.
0:37.0	Hey, good to see you. Come on in. Have a seat.
0:44.0	Our science in its current form, and I'm talking about Western science, the United States, Europe,
0:51.0	has a challenge recognizing what we call consciousness. In fact, they cannot really
0:57.0	pin it down because it's not something we can measure. And when you look at the Eastern philosophies, the Hindus have studied and written
1:08.6	about consciousness for thousands of years. In fact the Chinese have as well. And bits and pieces of
1:16.4	emerging data from the Maya is also revealing that they had a grasp on consciousness and how it's projected and so forth and so on.
1:28.3	In our program today, we are talking about the near-death and out of body experiences and also we dabble into a little bit of the remote viewing and we've had the top of the line here. We've had Russell Targ and Stephen
1:46.6	Schwartz and many others talking about remote viewing and it's an impact. But within
1:51.8	those purview, we haven't spoken about consciousness.
1:58.0	And this is the fundamental basis of a lot of these discoveries.
2:06.2	Now, the near-death experience
2:07.6	has been chronicled for years.
2:09.7	In fact, the proponent for the term near-death experiences Dr Raymond Moody who
2:16.7	happens to still be alive he coined the term back in the early 70s as a physician and actually interviewed over a thousand people who had these
2:30.8	what was considered clinical death experience where they actually die either on the operating
2:36.5	table or at home or in the hospital and then came back.
2:43.0	Some in the case of Daniel Brinkley, and we had Danian on the program a couple of years ago,
2:50.0	he was pronounced dead for many, many hours and then through some act of God I guess you could say
2:58.8	he came back came back in the body but when he was in this out-of-body state, he encountered different
3:10.0	realms of reality that we just barely grasp at because we can't measure it, we can't record it,
3:18.4	we only can go by hearsay, and very similar to Native American oral traditions, there is enough people out there that
