The reason why there is no funding into NDE and many other projects is because the establishment do not want ordinary people to find out the truth; knowledge is a powerful thing...

[@CodeNameRaven]

No funding for this ? And yet, $386,000 was given to Ohio State University to massage rabbits?? Or...even worse , the University of California SF got $453,000 to tell us that while meditating, breathing is important. Psh. yeah well, Id say in most things-breathing is important -duh.

Placing the card above the ceiling is a brilliant idea. Tell patients about the research and ask them to please expect an NDE and to please look at the paper on their way back to their body and say what's written on the paper.

[@nakedgunmusic]

Its simple. Make a kickstarter and I'm sure you could get money for a research like this.

[@safidif]

Is it not true that people are describing what is happening in different rooms or what people are wearing while they are dead? Is this not scientific proof?

[@Paddyllfixit]

It irks me too. The answers to some of life's most important questions, and all that's needed is a little funding. And with the increase on the planet of multi-millionaires to billionaires, more money than they know what to do with.........

What about deaf and blind peoples? do they see and hear when they OOBE?!

[@sscheinfe]

Yes, they do. Lookup blind NDE.

According to Sam Parnia, who wrote a book about this subject, he has tried the experiment with the cards with no results..

[@tj6544]

If the consciousness is totally independent of the brain and people actually float away from their body why do they come back to bodies in hospitals being resuscitated. Why not come back days later and restart the decaying body ?

[@mindmix4306]

Yes. See Vicki Umipeg

[@PsyCygnet]

Yet one experience described a red trainer on top of the roof as she passed through it so....with the answer given in this video, and the failed experiment on the cards....it's probably the last thing someone is going to notice when having a mind blowing experience like this....but as with the red training shoe on the hospital roof, it can't be discounted.

[@safidif]

Im not sure if my claim is true, maybe you can tell me?
