Summary

What Happens When We Die? Find out in our interview with Dr. Jeffrey Long! Dr. Jeffrey Long, renowned radiation oncologist and founder of the Near-Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF), shares his jaw-dropping insights into the science of NDEs, consciousness, and the afterlife. Drawing from over 5,000 verified near-death experiences, he presents the most compelling scientific and spiritual evidence that your consciousness may exist after life independent of the brain. From documented out of body experiences under anesthesia to cases where blind individuals describe vivid visuals and the deaf report hearing, Dr. Long dismantles mainstream scientific objections with hard data, like low oxygen, seizures, or residual brain activity. He explores the profound themes of life after death, spirituality, and God and reveals how people across cultures describe encounters with heaven, hell, or divine beings through deeply personal spiritual and often Christian lenses. This fascinating interview touches on the philosophical and religious implications of near-death states, including the idea of a pre-birth plan, and life reviews. Plus he explains the lasting aftereffects of NDEs, from extrasensory perception to sudden shifts in religion, values, or purpose. Dr. Long also unpacks how near-death experiences differ from dreams or psychedelic trips, and why they’re often described as “more real than life.” Whether you approach this from the lens of Christianity, science, philosophy, or open-minded curiosity, this conversation offers something for skeptics and believers alike. It's a soul-stirring podcast that will transform how you think about life, death, and the possibilities of what comes after.

0:00.0	To say that consciousness lifts itself out of a body is a very bold statement.
0:07.0	Yes, near-death experiences are for real.
0:10.0	About 45% of people having an NDE do indeed describe consciousness above their body.
0:17.0	By the time I see that in thousands of experiences, you've got to go back to that core scientific principle that what is consistently observed is real.
0:26.6	We have scores and scores of these out of body experiences where their consciousness can travel city blocks,
0:32.6	observing ongoing earthly events, retaining that information of what they saw, almost invariably accurate down to the finest detail.
0:40.3	Now, Dr. Long, you're very comfortable talking about these things because you've studied this for decades and decades, but any one of those things sounds unbelievable.
0:50.3	I've studied over 150 times in near-death experiences where they described awareness or encounter with Jesus.
0:57.0	Jesus is very different from how people would understand Jesus reading the Bible.
1:02.0	Jesus is essentially never giving the commandments.
1:05.0	Jesus just simply wants to convey that love, that peace, that presence.
1:09.0	Now as a person born totally deaf, he had a remarkably
1:12.9	vivid near-death experience. He was communicating as virtually everybody communicates when they're in a
1:19.1	non-physical, non-earthly realm, and that's telepathically. Like if this is true, what's going on?
1:25.1	The implications of consciousness apart from the body are just radically important.
1:29.4	Is there any way that we can duplicate that without having a life-threatening event?
1:33.3	What does that say about to be a human?
1:40.9	Hi, I'm Miami-Mialik.
1:42.4	I'm Jonathan Cohen.
1:43.5	And welcome to our breakdown.
1:45.8	What happens after we die?
1:49.6	We have all the answers.
