In the last episode, we discussed near-death experiences, NDE's.

We went through an abundance of evidence suggesting they aren't hallucinations.

So we are of the opinion that NDE might be real, but what does that mean for regular people?

That's what we're talking about today. Here's one of the pre-eminent scholars

on NDE's Dr. Raymond Moody. Everywhere I go, I hear the same thing, and that is that people say,

look, there aren't any words for this. I do think that near-death experiences are like a portal into another dimension of reality.

A portal into another dimension of reality. I love that phrase. Yeah, it sounds cool, but what does he

actually mean? It all comes back to the central theory of our show that consciousness doesn't come

from the brain. That's why we've looked at telepathy, remote viewing, and precognition, now near-death

experiences. Let's revisit Dr. Bernardo Castro's whirlpool analogy. We're getting some serious

mileage out of this analogy. We're saying consciousness is beyond the brain. We are connected as part of the same stream of universal consciousness.

And remember in an NDE, the brain is severely damaged or completely off.

But when people have NDE, they have amazing experiences that they report.

Our theory is that when the brain is out of the way, we gain new access to other parts

of the stream.

Maybe this is the higher

reality that Dr. Moody is referring to. Makes sense? Kind of. But what I'm thinking about now

is how you concluded the last episode. And you said that the stuff in this episode changed your

life. What did you mean by that? Well, to be clear, Matt, everything discussed in every episode

of this show changed my life,

especially when you put it all together.

But this next topic definitely impacted me more than others.
