Oh, hello. It's that sentence that your cat just typed out, that you're decoding for supernatural clues.

Alley Ward, here we are. Here we all are, before we're dead. If you're listening, you're on this side of the known universe, but come take a walk with me to the border where I'll ask a guy who studies the brink of death a bunch of not very smart questions about just what the fuck is going on here and somehow

perhaps it'll put you in a better mood. He's not just some guy though he's one of the

world's experts on this he's a scientist and a psychiatrist who's been on the

medical faculty at two teaching hospitals,

even as the clinical chief of psychiatry.

He's a University of Virginia Professor Emeritus

of psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences.

And the American Psychiatry Association gave him their highest honor of being a distinguished life fellow.

His work has spanned over 45 years of research, over 100 published papers with titles such as Western Scientific

Approaches to Near-death Experiences, the phenomenology of Near-death

experiences, do any Near-death experiences provide evidence for their survival of human personality after death and the banger dissociation in people who have near death experiences out of their bodies or out of their minds?

Oh, we'll get to that stuff.

So for 27 years, this guy served as the editor

of the only journal about near-death research.

He also authored a book about all this, called After,

a doctor explores what near death experiences reveal about life and beyond.

And there's a new documentary out about near death experiences.

And he declined to be in it because it wasn't fact-based enough

which tells you something he's legit so he's an esteemed physician with a lot of

clout he is dubious of flam and he's here to tell us what he knows about biting the dust.

What studies are bogus?
