Dr. Bruce Greyson- Near-Death Experiences, Consciousness of Science & Scientists - IANDS NDE

[@bigmike4758]

When my grandfather had an NDE back in 2005, he reported seeing many dead relatives including an estranged cousin he didn't even know had passed a few months earlier.

[@danb7601]

So interesting, that's a "Peak in Darien" Experience and constitutes some of the most compelling evidence for survival.

[@Dion_Mustard]

the evidence is mounting that consciousness is non-local :)

[@ReligionAndMaterialismDebunked]

[@kaziras342]

When I was four years old I had a near-death experience. I was paddling in the sea and my parents were not watching me but chatting with friends. A big wave knocked me over and I found myself looking up flat on my back under the water, which was fast filling my lungs. The only unpleasant sensation I felt was the taste of the salt. I had no fear. A bright light was above me which I took to be the sun, but it made me feel safe. The next thing I felt was my father hitting my back, and water running from my mouth. Little did I know that the man who saved my life that day would go on to abuse me physically and mentally for years. The experience left me with a profound feeling for the rest of my life that I had one foot in this life and one foot still in the place that had come to take me home. If I could have gone home that day, it would have saved a lot of pain and unhappiness. ?

[@hiku5776]

And maybe you have made a lot a personal growth. You are who you are now, because of the experiences you mad throughout your life. I wish you healing for the emotional wounds you are still suffering of.

[@SpectreFury]

No I don't think giving up that day was the way. You are someone now, maybe someone happy and you have a life now and that's what matters

[@debramercer5896]

I think there is decency and good even in the hardest of hearts. Your father saved your life. He is the one who gave you his highest Love. Whatever happened to him to turn him angry and mean is not because of you. Try to find out because it begins the process of healing, spiritual awakening and Forgiveness.

It is so nice to see a psychiatrist talking about N.D.E.s!!! It is time for all the scientific community to open their minds up, and do more research about N.D.E.s and start talking to people, listen to the ones who are having the experience.!!!

[@larrypelletier8500]

Agree!

[@BabyBugBug]

I rarely say I am impressed with any scientist whom others laud as “brilliant.” This man is brilliant not because I agree with him, but because he truly steps out of his former comfort zone. 95% of the scientists I have come into contact with refuse to do this. I respect this man and wish him well.

Astonishing. I also think our earthly brain is blocking the mind. I had an experience. I was home. The news on the radio started at 8 pm. I coundn't understand a word! But I was OVERWHELMED by unconditional love. I saw a title but I couldn't read it. I felt that someone was with me. I told my friend who was cooking. It took about five minutes. Next day my mother called me that my dearest auntie died. Euthanasia. At 8 'o clock. This has left a deep impression on me. Now I have a rough time. But when I think of it it helps. I believe what you say in a very human and emotional way. Thanks Doctor Greyson!

Hi Debra, I understand your concern, I’m an NDE and OBE, and I can tell you that more of as had been in this nothingness place that you mentioned, we called it the void, because there’s operantly an empty place , like a vacuum of some sorts, if this is where you were and that’s the only experience you had it maybe because that’s as far as you got, I’ve heard of other cases like yours Can you please tell me more about it? Maybe I can help explain some of this for you Thank you, I wish you well, Blessings

[@debramercer5896]

@@LuisHernandez-qk1nu Hi! Thank you for your reply. I agree with you that I didn't get far enough. I was being resuscitated on the operating table, so that could be why. I woke up on the table after the operation was done and the doctor said he left the others to close me up. I had little blood in me and I don't think they were aware. I was a suicide and I was looked down upon. When I was in the void I prayed everything I wanted to say relevant to how sorry I was, how much I Love Him and wanted to go Home with Him. I was of the belief that I would be punished and I accepted it fully. I felt no depression at all and I was strong and brave. I do know now that God Loves us unconditionally and would never punish us. At that time, 10 years ago, I was in a very bad marriage, my foster son had abandoned me because I was depressed and went back to his mother who proceeded to get him hooked on drugs too (my worst nightmare), I was living in a house with an evil spirit in it, and I had lost a great job. I felt like a loser even though I tried my best. Jesus knows this and I am so grateful He sent me back, allowed me to live because I shouldn't have made it. My beloved brother needed me and I was back to continue to take the best care of him I could up until October 23rd of 2020 when I found him deceased in his apartment from a sudden death heart attack. He was sick almost all his life. I would really like to read some stories about others who went to the void; why, how long, afraid? I was not afraid. It was peaceful and I knew I had flatlined because I heard a man shouting "we're losing her!". God Bless you Luis. ❤️🦋🙏✌️

[@alenkratohvil7222]

In a way it seems like time and space and some form of matter would always be necessary. Not having that is what makes it seem like imagination or something perhaps brain made for me. Like a dream. But having had OBE's, they felt like something that really happened. Very confusing. If there is a god, that being should just tell us what's going on instead of all this misery with not knowing, dealing with death, grieving and loss in life. And other unfortunate events.

Fascinating presentation. Just wondering if there's any research into how natural secretion of DMT maybe connected to NDEs?

[@Yameen200]

There is one paper from 2018 which compared similarities between DMT trip & NDEs. The Carhart Harris paper you can find it on google. Since then many believed that DMT is secreted during death but theres no evidence of it. Some would say during vivid dreams DMT is also secreted. But NDE apologists will say that the DMT/NDE similarities are superficial & there are unique differeences such as DMT being all about geometric patterns & machine elves, random entities etc whilst NDEs perceive life review, intense love & peace, angelic beings, dead relatives etc. EDIT : There is also a paper which compares the effects of various drugs where they find ketamine is more similiar to NDEs over DMT.

​@@lukaszwalaszczyk He is probably emotionally affected, because he believes that the experiences were of otherworldly origin. I would guess it makes him feel quite excited and humbled at the same time. I would guess that the emotions are pleasant and overwhelming (some people like to feel like there is more to life then the physical, and can get emotional at presence of "otherworldly signs") for him and that is why he is "crying" (he is basically not sad, but excited and emotional, which produces this reaction). But that is just my guess according to my own experience.

[@jamesboswellii2034]

@@MattBaker95 I do not agree with those who say that Greyson does not maintain a careful objectivity. In numerous youtube interviews he demonstrates that he is first of all a scientist, and usually he speaks without strong emotion. However, he has a point when he states that scientists cannot simply look away when confronted by evidence that questions its tendency to see everything in terms that can be physically explained. ---And perhaps you should have listened PAST 39 to 40:30 where Greyson describes a near death experience that does not seem explicable by the usual brain = mind = consciousness "scientific" assumptions.

[@MattBaker95]

@@jamesboswellii2034 Still, proving that we cannot explain something right now as physical phenomenon does not mean it is of some other nature. It means, we cannot explain what it is. It can still be of physical nature, and probably is, since it is the most probable case (there is no evidence that it is caused by anything else, and everything we know of is of physical nature). I am also not considering a persons experience a good base for evidence so unless somebody finds a way to "measure" in a controlled and repeatable way that it is caused by something "otherwordly" then my view will fall back to the most probable, which is that it is absolutely natural and cause by human brain.

If you had to recall a story like this then you too would get emotional

[@jamviator]

One way to verify out-of-body experiences in cardiac arrest patients would be to have a medical assistant place a screen on the patients thighs or shins facing up while they are having cardiac arrest, then turn the screen on to flash a random 2-digit number for a few seconds. This would be done while the medical staff are actively trying to resuscitate the patient so the medical assistant is not interfering with the resuscitating procedure. Now, if the person was hovering above their body, they would see the number and could relate it after they regain consciousness. Gather enough accurate recollections of the number from various patients over time and you will have your scientific data.

[@ronnysingh4509]

The answer to that is at 27:20👍🏻

[@jamviator]

@@ronnysingh4509 This is why I said to place the screen on the patient's thighs or shins not at some random location somewhere in the room. The speaker said "you are not going to be looking around to find some target." However with my suggestion, they wouldn't be "looking around", the target would be on their body. Most OBE experiencers say they see their body so what better place to put the "target".

[@tim59ism]

@Jamviator The problem with placing a target there (on the patient's body) is that it's then not double blind. Double blind means that both the doctors AND the patient must not be able to see the target. That is what 'sceptics' demand, nothing less. I think your suggestion would actually work and would be "proof" for most reasonable people that patients really CAN see what is going on from above. But the sceptics would then say that the doctors simply FED the patient the information later during the interview. You have to remember, that many sceptics are not really sceptics (open minded seekers of the truth) at all. They are closed minded cynics, who loathe the idea that there might be something 'more' to us humans than just electrical and chemical impulses across the synapses.

[@vickymarinou6271]

You know, there's so much evidence available of NDEs being something much more tangible and real than an imaginary experience, that I believe that even if somebody were to do that and succeed, the skeptics would still remain sceptics. Whatever evidence there is, they will always refuse to believe. It reminds me of the parable that Jesus gave of the rich man and Lazarus, where the rich man was told that even if somebody came back from the dead to speak to his brothers, they still wouldn't believe.

[@Sandyshore21]

These accounts fill me with hope. I am 52. When I was 17 my grandfather passed while giving a speech on the day of his 50th wedding anniversary. Most of his 9 children and many of his grandchildren (including me) were present in that Knights of Columbus hall when he passed. Inextricable things happened that night that have baffled me for years. I have since reached out to others who were there, basically to confirm that I hadn’t imagined these things. Memories are faulty, after all. The confirmation of these events over 30 years later was extremely validating. The take away, for me, is that physical death is nothing to fear.

[@gyanlanevsky92]

Can you please share those things with us?

[@bahaar2825]

Yes please kindly share your experiences...would love to know.

[@nfscooterguy]

The “inextricable things” that happened: 1. The grandfather clock in my grandparents living room stopped around the time of his death 2. My grandfather’s name disappeared from the anniversary cake 3. My grandfather sister, a nun, could not make it to the anniversary celebration and was praying fo him around the time of his death 4. On the day of his funeral, a gray, overcast, miserable day, as his children and grandchildren gathered around her grave to say goodbye and lay flowers on his casket, the sun emerged, as if on cue. These are just the events, the moments, I remember. My grandfather’s passing - dropping dead literally in front of us all as he talked about where and when he met my grandmother, that alone was remarkable, and unexpected. He hadn’t been struggling. He was smiling and animated one minute, the next minute he was gone. I had glanced down at my plate the moment he dropped. I still recall the unforgettable sound of his head hitting the floor. When I looked up, startled, half by the collective gasp of those who were looking, I noticed my brother-in-law, who had been seated next to me, gone. He saw my grandfather fall, and by the time I raced over to my grandfather, a crowd had gathered, my brother-in-law was performing CPR on my grandfather. To no avail. I never witnessed a death before, not until that point. My grandfather, who moments before was smiling, with his hand on my grandmothers shoulder, a man who mere seconds ago had been speaking about falling in love, had just fallen to his death. I heard a sound from him, completely unfamiliar. Someone told me “that’s the death rattle.” I heard my uncle call out “someone call a priest.” It was shocking. My mom was sad. She just lost her father. She never got to show everyone, her father especially, the slides she prepared for later in the evening. We never got to eat the anniversary cake. We never got to sing and dance. The evening came to an abrupt halt. My grandfather’s body was removed, the building emptied out. It was my job to bring the uneaten cake, which was in a cardboard cake box, back to my grandparents house. It was at their house, that evening, that I noticed my grandfather’s name missing. The rest of the cake was untouched, just the icing that had his name, “Wilf”, was gone from the cake, stuck to the lid of the box. That’s when someone mentioned the grandfather clock. And his sister. All these years later, it’s still so vivid, and at the same time, dream-like. I miss my grandfather. I wish I could thank him, chat with him. Ask him questions.

[@HybridMiranda]

I am VERY glad he addressed the experiments done with the 'visual targets' in NDE-prone areas. I am currently having a drawn-out existential crisis, trying so hard to live in and enjoy the present instead of fearing the future or muddling about in the past. I've grown up a science-minded athiest due to my father, but at the same time, it didn't feel right, it felt like there was something more. I'm 28, but I've already had 2 midlife crises, I swear. There are compelling arguments on both the scientific and the NDE-science side... but one thing I see from the NDE side that I don't see from the science side is compassion, love, and enjoyment. It doesn't really matter to me what happens at the end of my life, at this point; but between the two, I would prefer to adhere more to the love, connection, and appreciation displayed by the NDEr's. It makes so little sense to me to pathologize life, death, etc. We have a wonderful gift, getting to experience life and be in a body that has such a powerful brain. I figure at this point that, just Dr. Greyson said with his elephant motif, there are many parts to dying, and all of them may be valid. There are parts of quantum physics and electrical science that seems to come forth in the NDE experiences (such as beings seeming to vibrate with electricity, or there being some sort of hum-- quantum vibrations, which permeate the entire universe and are responsible for creating matter). I don't understand why the science community is SO OPPOSED to any sort of possibility of there being something more... science has been wrong about things so many different times. When my dad was a kid, scientists said that there would never be robots that flew by flapping their wings. Fast forward to him buying me the FlyTech Dragonfly toy, an ornithoraptor... a robot that flies by flapping its wings. That was when I was 12. I'm at a point where I don't know the meaning of life, what to do with it, what to believe... but I think both material science and NDE science have truth. There are so many intersectionalities, and the only ones who don't seem to want to admit it or research it are the classic scientists. And even if it is all brain chemicals, shouldn't the message of the NDEr's love, compassion, and taking care of each other still be adhered to?

What’s a shared death experience? 🤔 💭

[@kathleenturner7138]

@@janiemiller825 ...the short version: this past June..unknown to me at the time...my father was dying. Around that same time, I was working in my back yard. I don’t know how it happened...I don’t know how I was able to see...but he was standing in my backyard...his back facing me. I did not recognize him at the time...he was young and I thought at first it might be my husband...but I had left my husband clear on the other side of the yard. Next I saw a light coming in on his left. The sun was setting on his right. I watched this light slowly coming in brighter and it was so beautiful....soft and white with colorful hues. Gentle. I said to myself that I wish I had a camera. Then I saw an arm stretch out from this light and gently touch his shoulder. There was a being made of light inside the light ...it spoke to me telepathically and said, “I love him so much”. It used my heart and my mind and the love was an intense explosion of love...a love that does not exist on this planet. My response was...”I would never say that”. I think somewhere in my logical mind I realized this was not my thought. As I was acknowledging that I never felt this kind of love before. I was kind of ashamed. As I was staring at the movement inside the light, I next recalled being inside a white sphere of energy with windows that had memory movies playing in them. No fear, no pain...just an observer. It was my father walking towards a house in green grass. I heard people laughing joyously and a child was giggling. Next thing I recall was as I was putting the wheelbarrow down...my physical vision being blotted back in. I saw my husband on the other side of the yard...in the patio where I left him working. I said “who is under the tree”. I kept staring at the tree...wondering who was under my tree. No one was there anymore. I just sat there saying to myself....what happened....something happened. Hours later I picked up my phone and found out my father died. I do not do drugs. I was not drinking. I was not having a medical issue. I felt perfectly fine. I don’t practice anything that one would consider dark. I am just a simple person. I love my family as most others do. Not one day has gone by in my life that I haven’t thought about this...talked about this. I did some googling and found shared death experiences. It validated for me that it was real. But...yeah...I know it sounds unbelievable and if the shoe were on the other foot I would have difficulty believing it myself. But it happened to me and has left me with millions of more questions than answers. But...wow...that love. My personal thoughts... I believe we are here to learn and exercise love to help our own eternal spiritual evolution and also help others in there’s as well. I know I said it was a short version...so I will go ahead and leave it here. Thank you for letting me share.

God could easily give us concrete proof of the existence of heaven-----but then there would be no need for the existence of faith and I believe faith will always be the most important element of our brief lives here on earth. God could have created a perfect planet with no natural disasters and all perfect human beings who never make a bad decision--but he didn't. He gave us all free will and opportunities to exercise that free will ----- the goal for all is to find unconditional love and to love one another. Because we humans are not perfect we make some poor choices and mistakes along the way of life, but God is forgiving if one only asks and tries his or her best to improve and learn to help others. Some of us have our lives cut short through no fault of our own---but with faith--- find our way into heaven ahead of others. One just has to have faith and believe and just keep on trying to do the best of one's ability to care for and love one's neighbors.
