In this deeply moving episode, Oprah Winfrey sits down with Dr. Bruce Grayson, a leading expert on near-death experiences (NDEs) and author of "After." Together, they explore the profound scientific and spiritual implications of what happens when we die. Dr. Grayson shares how his decades of research challenged his materialistic worldview, revealing that consciousness can become more vivid even when brain function is severely compromised.
The conversation features powerful firsthand accounts from individuals who have crossed over and returned, including Academy Award-nominated actor Jeremy Renner, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Mary Neal, Grammy-winning producer Harmony, and country singer Gabrielle. Each guest describes striking similarities in their experiences, such as a complete distortion of time, overwhelming feelings of unconditional love, and transformative life reviews that completely altered their priorities.
Ultimately, Dr. Grayson and the guests discuss how understanding NDEs can help us live more meaningful, compassionate, and fearless lives today. By shifting our focus away from material pursuits and toward love and connection, we can embrace the true essence of a well-lived life.
Key takeaways
- Near-death experiences across different cultures and eras share universal elements, including out-of-body sensations, overwhelming peace, and encounters with a loving presence.
- Scientific research into NDEs suggests that human consciousness can function vividly even when the physical brain is inactive or severely impaired.
- A life review during an NDE often allows individuals to experience their actions from the perspective of others, fostering deep empathy and a commitment to the Golden Rule.
- Experiencing or learning about NDEs frequently leads to a profound reduction in the fear of death, which in turn frees individuals to live their lives more fully.
- The ultimate lesson of near-death experiences is that love is the only true currency we take with us, shifting survivors' priorities away from materialism.

00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:24.880

00:00:24.880 --> 00:00:28.720
I<00:00:25.119> think<00:00:25.199> if<00:00:25.359> you<00:00:25.519> live<00:00:25.760> long<00:00:26.000> enough,<00:00:26.400> you<00:00:26.720> actually<00:00:27.199> start<00:00:27.519> asking<00:00:27.840> yourself<00:00:28.160> that<00:00:28.400> question.

in<00:30:33.840> twothirds<00:30:34.399> of<00:30:34.559> the<00:30:34.799> cases<00:30:35.360> you<00:30:35.600> study,<00:30:36.080> people<00:30:36.320> say<00:30:36.880> that<00:30:37.120> they<00:30:37.360> met<00:30:38.279> um<00:30:39.279> they<00:30:39.520> met<00:30:39.760> people<00:30:39.919> from<00:30:40.159> the<00:30:40.320> other<00:30:40.480> side.
00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:48.799
I'm<00:30:41.120> wondering<00:30:41.600> because<00:30:41.840> all<00:30:42.080> these<00:30:42.320> years,<00:30:42.880> having<00:30:43.320> interviewed<00:30:44.320> certainly<00:30:44.720> not<00:30:44.880> as<00:30:45.039> many<00:30:45.200> people<00:30:45.360> as<00:30:45.520> you<00:30:45.679> have,<00:30:45.840> but<00:30:46.080> interviewed<00:30:46.480> a<00:30:46.640> lot<00:30:46.720> of<00:30:46.840> people,<00:30:47.840> I<00:30:48.080> it<00:30:48.399> feels
00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:54.200
like<00:30:49.600> the<00:30:50.120> NDE<00:30:51.120> is<00:30:51.360> specifically<00:30:52.000> designed<00:30:52.480> for<00:30:52.640> you.
00:30:54.200 --> 00:30:57.760
So<00:30:55.200> some<00:30:55.440> people<00:30:55.760> experience<00:30:56.320> what<00:30:56.559> they've<00:30:56.799> done<00:30:56.960> to<00:30:57.120> other<00:30:57.360> people.

00:30:59.840 --> 00:31:04.080
I<00:31:00.080> mean<00:31:00.159> it<00:31:00.320> it<00:31:00.640> feels<00:31:00.880> like<00:31:01.039> there<00:31:01.200> are<00:31:01.440> commonalities<00:31:02.399> but<00:31:02.640> there<00:31:02.880> are<00:31:03.120> also<00:31:03.440> specifics.
00:31:04.080 --> 00:31:11.120
Right.<00:31:04.320> Right.<00:31:04.640> People<00:31:04.880> often<00:31:05.360> people<00:31:05.600> often<00:31:05.919> say<00:31:06.080> that<00:31:07.039> it<00:31:07.360> was<00:31:07.520> designed<00:31:07.840> specifically<00:31:08.240> for<00:31:08.399> them<00:31:08.640> like<00:31:08.799> they<00:31:08.960> had<00:31:09.039> a<00:31:09.200> role<00:31:09.440> in<00:31:09.600> creating<00:31:09.919> it<00:31:10.159> for<00:31:10.320> them.
00:31:11.120 --> 00:31:13.440
And<00:31:11.360> maybe<00:31:11.600> that's<00:31:11.760> just<00:31:11.919> the<00:31:12.000> way<00:31:12.080> they<00:31:12.320> perceived<00:31:12.720> it.

There<00:37:25.040> is<00:37:25.359> no<00:37:25.760> way<00:37:26.480> any<00:37:26.880> person<00:37:27.359> could<00:37:27.680> shoulder<00:37:28.079> that<00:37:28.359> burden<00:37:29.359> without<00:37:30.079> having<00:37:30.960> an<00:37:31.560> absolute<00:37:32.560> knowledge,<00:37:33.440> understanding

Yeah,<00:41:04.880> I<00:41:05.119> sure<00:41:05.359> do.<00:41:05.760> I<00:41:06.000> mean<00:41:06.160> my<00:41:06.480> my<00:41:06.880> concept<00:41:07.280> of<00:41:07.520> it<00:41:08.520> is<00:41:09.520> we<00:41:10.480> don't<00:41:10.800> live<00:41:11.040> here<00:41:11.760> and<00:41:12.079> they<00:41:12.319> live<00:41:12.480> here.

00:41:21.839 --> 00:41:30.760
There's<00:41:22.720> no<00:41:23.160> dimension.<00:41:24.160> I<00:41:24.400> don't<00:41:24.560> have<00:41:24.640> the<00:41:24.880> words<00:41:25.200> but<00:41:25.920> it<00:41:26.160> exists<00:41:27.240> within<00:41:28.240> each<00:41:28.720> other<00:41:29.359> and<00:41:29.760> everything<00:41:30.160> exists
00:41:30.760 --> 00:41:39.440
simultaneously<00:41:31.760> although<00:41:32.160> independently.<00:41:33.520> So<00:41:33.760> yes,<00:41:34.160> I<00:41:34.480> believe<00:41:34.800> we<00:41:35.440> live<00:41:35.680> within<00:41:36.000> the<00:41:36.160> spiritual<00:41:36.760> world<00:41:37.760> even<00:41:38.000> though<00:41:39.040> our
00:41:39.440 --> 00:41:42.480
three-dimensional<00:41:40.240> brains<00:41:40.880> can't<00:41:41.680> see<00:41:41.920> it.
00:41:42.480 --> 00:41:44.480
We<00:41:42.720> don't<00:41:42.960> always<00:41:43.520> acknowledge<00:41:44.000> it.
00:41:44.480 --> 00:41:48.000
Yeah.<00:41:44.880> But<00:41:45.119> the<00:41:45.359> fact<00:41:45.599> is<00:41:46.240> there<00:41:46.480> is<00:41:46.720> spiritual<00:41:47.200> crossover.
00:41:48.000 --> 00:41:53.119
Yeah.<00:41:48.240> You<00:41:48.480> can<00:41:48.960> the<00:41:49.200> brain<00:41:49.440> doesn't<00:41:49.680> acknowledge<00:41:50.079> it<00:41:50.240> but<00:41:50.400> I<00:41:50.560> can<00:41:50.640> tell<00:41:50.800> you<00:41:50.960> I<00:41:51.200> can<00:41:51.359> I<00:41:51.680> experience<00:41:52.160> it.
00:41:53.119 --> 00:42:00.160
Yes.<00:41:53.440> Through<00:41:53.800> stillness.<00:41:54.800> I<00:41:55.040> can<00:41:55.200> sit<00:41:55.440> amongst<00:41:55.839> the<00:41:56.000> trees<00:41:56.560> and<00:41:57.400> literally<00:41:58.400> become<00:41:59.359> one<00:41:59.599> with<00:41:59.839> them.
00:42:00.160 --> 00:42:03.920
I<00:42:00.319> mean<00:42:00.480> I<00:42:00.640> can<00:42:01.200> you<00:42:01.359> know<00:42:01.760> I<00:42:01.920> know<00:42:02.079> that<00:42:02.319> sounds<00:42:02.480> crazy<00:42:02.800> but<00:42:03.200> I<00:42:03.520> can.
00:42:03.920 --> 00:42:09.839
So<00:42:04.079> I<00:42:04.319> think<00:42:04.400> that<00:42:04.560> there<00:42:04.720> is<00:42:04.880> a<00:42:05.440> there<00:42:05.680> is<00:42:05.839> a<00:42:06.000> way<00:42:06.160> to<00:42:06.319> do<00:42:06.400> it<00:42:06.560> but<00:42:06.720> I<00:42:06.960> also<00:42:07.200> feel<00:42:07.359> that<00:42:07.520> the<00:42:07.680> density<00:42:08.079> of<00:42:08.240> the<00:42:08.400> body<00:42:08.640> keeps<00:42:08.960> you<00:42:09.119> from<00:42:09.280> doing<00:42:09.440> it.
00:42:09.839 --> 00:42:13.920
It's<00:42:10.079> why<00:42:10.240> I<00:42:10.480> always<00:42:10.800> do<00:42:11.040> say<00:42:11.280> though<00:42:11.520> when<00:42:11.760> people<00:42:12.000> have<00:42:12.400> loved<00:42:12.640> ones<00:42:12.880> that<00:42:13.119> pass<00:42:13.680> Dr.

00:42:17.680 --> 00:42:20.319
Now<00:42:17.839> you<00:42:18.079> have<00:42:18.240> somebody<00:42:18.480> who's<00:42:18.800> crossed<00:42:19.040> over<00:42:19.200> to<00:42:19.359> the<00:42:19.520> other<00:42:19.680> side.

You<00:43:19.280> start<00:43:19.440> to<00:43:19.680> think<00:43:19.920> differently<00:43:20.400> about<00:43:20.880> all<00:43:21.119> of<00:43:21.280> this.
00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:25.680
So<00:43:22.240> what<00:43:22.480> do<00:43:22.640> you<00:43:22.880> make<00:43:23.119> of<00:43:23.920> all<00:43:24.319> of<00:43:24.640> this?
00:43:25.680 --> 00:43:31.119
Well,<00:43:26.319> that<00:43:26.560> first<00:43:26.800> episode<00:43:27.119> with<00:43:27.359> Holly<00:43:27.760> was<00:43:27.920> just<00:43:28.480> a<00:43:28.720> fluke<00:43:28.960> and<00:43:29.119> I<00:43:29.280> thought,<00:43:29.520> well,<00:43:29.760> you<00:43:29.839> know,<00:43:29.920> she's<00:43:30.160> a<00:43:30.319> psychiatric<00:43:30.800> patient.
00:43:31.119 --> 00:43:33.920
Who<00:43:31.280> knows<00:43:31.440> what's<00:43:31.680> really<00:43:31.920> going<00:43:32.079> on.<00:43:32.480> Yeah.<00:43:32.800> There's<00:43:33.040> got<00:43:33.119> to<00:43:33.200> be<00:43:33.280> an<00:43:33.440> explanation.
00:43:33.920 --> 00:43:42.319
So,<00:43:34.000> I<00:43:34.160> started<00:43:34.400> collecting<00:43:34.880> other<00:43:35.560> cases<00:43:36.560> of<00:43:36.800> people<00:43:37.040> who<00:43:37.280> had<00:43:37.520> come<00:43:37.760> close<00:43:37.920> to<00:43:38.160> death<00:43:38.319> or<00:43:38.560> been<00:43:38.960> been<00:43:39.119> pronounced<00:43:39.520> dead<00:43:39.920> and<00:43:40.160> had<00:43:40.400> these<00:43:40.720> fantastic<00:43:41.280> stories<00:43:41.520> to<00:43:41.760> tell.
00:43:42.319 --> 00:43:45.359
And<00:43:42.480> I<00:43:42.720> was<00:43:42.800> trying<00:43:42.960> to<00:43:43.119> find<00:43:43.760> some<00:43:44.359> consistency.
00:43:45.359 --> 00:43:47.920
Are<00:43:45.520> they<00:43:45.760> related<00:43:46.079> to<00:43:46.640> oxygen<00:43:47.200> deprivation?
00:43:47.920 --> 00:43:51.440
Are<00:43:48.079> they<00:43:48.240> related<00:43:48.480> to<00:43:48.720> drugs?<00:43:49.200> Are<00:43:49.280> they<00:43:49.359> related<00:43:49.680> to<00:43:50.240> heart<00:43:50.480> arrhythmias?
00:43:51.440 --> 00:43:59.680
You<00:43:51.520> know,<00:43:51.680> what's<00:43:51.920> going<00:43:52.000> on<00:43:52.160> with<00:43:52.319> these<00:43:52.560> people?<00:43:54.000> And<00:43:54.160> over<00:43:54.319> the<00:43:54.560> last<00:43:54.720> 50<00:43:55.040> years,<00:43:55.760> we've<00:43:56.079> talked<00:43:56.319> to<00:43:56.640> thousands<00:43:57.040> and<00:43:57.280> thousands<00:43:57.680> of<00:43:57.839> people,<00:43:58.640> done<00:43:58.880> some<00:43:59.040> physiological
00:43:59.680 --> 00:44:06.079
measurements<00:44:00.079> on<00:44:00.319> people<00:44:00.480> when<00:44:00.720> they<00:44:00.880> were<00:44:01.040> close<00:44:01.280> to<00:44:01.440> death,<00:44:02.000> and<00:44:02.160> we<00:44:02.319> found<00:44:02.480> that<00:44:02.640> none<00:44:02.880> of<00:44:02.960> these<00:44:03.200> simplistic<00:44:03.760> hypotheses<00:44:04.720> turns<00:44:05.040> out<00:44:05.119> to<00:44:05.280> be<00:44:05.440> true.
00:44:06.079 --> 00:44:08.640
It's<00:44:06.319> not<00:44:06.480> oxygen<00:44:06.960> deprivation.<00:44:07.680> It's<00:44:07.839> not<00:44:08.079> drugs.
00:44:08.640 --> 00:44:11.040
It's<00:44:08.880> not<00:44:09.200> endorphins<00:44:09.839> being<00:44:10.000> produced<00:44:10.319> by<00:44:10.480> the<00:44:10.640> brain.
00:44:11.040 --> 00:44:14.560
It's<00:44:11.280> not<00:44:11.520> erratic<00:44:11.920> electrical<00:44:12.400> activity<00:44:12.720> in<00:44:12.960> the<00:44:13.040> brain<00:44:13.200> or<00:44:13.440> the<00:44:13.599> heart.
00:44:14.560 --> 00:44:16.640
These<00:44:14.800> things<00:44:15.040> just<00:44:15.280> don't<00:44:15.520> explain<00:44:15.839> what's<00:44:16.160> going<00:44:16.240> on.
00:44:16.640 --> 00:44:24.319
Why<00:44:16.915> is<00:44:17.190> there<00:44:17.466> such<00:44:17.741> resistance<00:44:18.016> to<00:44:18.291> it?<00:44:18.566> It<00:44:18.842> is<00:44:19.117> because<00:44:19.392> the<00:44:19.667> very<00:44:19.942> nature<00:44:20.218> of<00:44:20.493> scientists<00:44:20.768> and<00:44:21.043> the<00:44:21.318> medical<00:44:21.594> field<00:44:21.869> is<00:44:22.144> to<00:44:22.419> question<00:44:22.694> what<00:44:22.970> you<00:44:23.245> don't<00:44:23.520> know.
00:44:24.319 --> 00:44:30.319
What<00:44:24.560> we're<00:44:24.720> taught<00:44:24.880> in<00:44:25.119> college<00:44:25.359> and<00:44:25.599> medical<00:44:25.839> school<00:44:26.000> is<00:44:26.240> that<00:44:26.400> the<00:44:26.480> mind<00:44:26.640> is<00:44:26.800> what<00:44:26.960> the<00:44:27.200> brain<00:44:27.440> does<00:44:28.160> and<00:44:28.400> all<00:44:28.560> our<00:44:28.800> thoughts<00:44:28.960> and<00:44:29.200> feelings<00:44:29.520> must<00:44:29.760> come<00:44:29.920> from<00:44:30.079> the
00:44:30.319 --> 00:44:38.480
brain.<00:44:31.119> And<00:44:32.000> people<00:44:32.240> who<00:44:32.400> are<00:44:32.560> trained<00:44:32.800> to<00:44:32.960> this<00:44:33.119> way<00:44:33.599> tend<00:44:33.839> to<00:44:34.000> accept<00:44:34.319> that<00:44:34.560> and<00:44:34.880> not<00:44:35.119> look<00:44:35.359> at<00:44:36.160> the<00:44:36.800> data<00:44:37.119> that<00:44:37.359> contradict<00:44:37.839> that.
00:44:38.480 --> 00:44:43.200
And<00:44:38.640> I<00:44:38.800> think<00:44:39.040> that<00:44:39.200> doctors<00:44:39.760> and<00:44:39.920> science<00:44:40.240> so<00:44:40.400> they're<00:44:40.640> taught<00:44:40.880> the<00:44:41.119> mind<00:44:41.359> is<00:44:41.599> what<00:44:41.760> the<00:44:41.920> brain<00:44:42.240> does,<00:44:42.640> right?
00:44:43.200 --> 00:44:47.119
Yeah.<00:44:43.440> But<00:44:43.599> we<00:44:43.760> see<00:44:44.000> experiences<00:44:44.560> like<00:44:44.800> near-death<00:44:45.280> experiences<00:44:45.680> and<00:44:45.839> lots<00:44:46.079> of<00:44:46.160> others<00:44:46.400> as<00:44:46.640> well.
00:44:47.119 --> 00:44:54.079
They<00:44:47.200> say<00:44:47.359> they're<00:44:47.520> separate,<00:44:48.000> disprove<00:44:48.400> that.<00:44:49.119> And<00:44:49.359> yet<00:44:49.839> many<00:44:50.160> scientists<00:44:50.800> are<00:44:51.040> reluctant<00:44:51.440> to<00:44:51.599> acknowledge<00:44:52.079> this<00:44:52.400> evidence<00:44:52.640> that<00:44:53.040> doesn't<00:44:53.359> go<00:44:53.520> along<00:44:53.760> with<00:44:53.920> what
00:44:54.079 --> 00:44:59.839

Okay.<00:45:00.720> Harmony<00:45:01.280> joins<00:45:01.520> us.

00:45:25.200 --> 00:45:31.760
I<00:45:25.359> was<00:45:25.440> born<00:45:25.599> in<00:45:25.839> London<00:45:26.400> uh<00:45:26.640> by<00:45:26.880> Nigerian<00:45:27.440> parents<00:45:28.319> and<00:45:28.880> my<00:45:29.119> parents<00:45:29.359> were<00:45:29.599> very<00:45:29.839> strict<00:45:30.240> and<00:45:30.480> raised<00:45:30.800> us<00:45:30.960> in<00:45:31.200> the<00:45:31.359> church.

00:45:36.640 --> 00:45:43.440
So<00:45:36.960> I<00:45:37.119> had<00:45:37.280> a<00:45:37.520> true<00:45:37.839> understanding<00:45:38.160> of<00:45:38.400> having<00:45:38.560> a<00:45:38.800> relationship<00:45:39.119> with<00:45:39.280> God<00:45:39.440> and<00:45:39.680> having<00:45:39.920> a<00:45:40.160> spiritual<00:45:40.560> side<00:45:41.359> uh<00:45:41.440> from<00:45:41.680> a<00:45:41.920> very<00:45:42.240> young<00:45:42.560> age.

00:50:36.240 --> 00:50:39.359
As<00:50:36.480> a<00:50:36.640> scientist,<00:50:37.040> I<00:50:37.200> can't<00:50:37.359> say<00:50:37.520> we've<00:50:37.839> proven<00:50:38.160> that.
00:50:39.359 --> 00:50:47.760
But<00:50:39.839> as<00:50:40.160> a<00:50:40.319> person<00:50:40.480> who's<00:50:40.720> hear<00:50:41.040> these<00:50:41.280> stories,<00:50:41.599> I<00:50:41.760> find<00:50:41.920> it<00:50:42.079> hard<00:50:42.240> to<00:50:42.400> deny<00:50:42.720> that<00:50:43.440> there<00:50:43.680> seem<00:50:43.839> to<00:50:44.000> be<00:50:44.079> so<00:50:44.319> many<00:50:44.480> cases<00:50:44.720> where<00:50:45.040> people<00:50:45.839> are<00:50:46.160> pronounced<00:50:46.559> dead<00:50:47.280> and<00:50:47.520> yet

00:50:52.880 --> 00:51:00.559
And<00:50:53.040> if<00:50:53.200> that<00:50:53.440> can<00:50:53.599> happen<00:50:53.839> without<00:50:54.240> the<00:50:54.480> brain<00:50:54.800> being<00:50:55.559> active,<00:50:56.559> that<00:50:56.800> opens<00:50:57.040> the<00:50:57.200> possibility<00:50:57.520> that<00:50:57.680> we<00:50:57.839> it<00:50:58.000> keeps<00:50:58.160> going<00:50:58.400> forever<00:50:58.880> or<00:50:59.359> as<00:50:59.599> long<00:50:59.760> as<00:50:59.839> we<00:51:00.000> can<00:51:00.079> measure.
00:51:00.559 --> 00:51:02.800
So<00:51:00.720> what<00:51:00.960> would<00:51:01.119> prove<00:51:01.280> it<00:51:01.440> to<00:51:01.599> the<00:51:01.760> to<00:51:02.000> the<00:51:02.240> scientist?
00:51:02.800 --> 00:51:07.359
Because<00:51:03.040> I<00:51:03.280> don't<00:51:03.359> know<00:51:03.440> what<00:51:03.680> you<00:51:03.920> need<00:51:04.319> other<00:51:04.559> than<00:51:04.800> thousands<00:51:05.200> of<00:51:05.440> people<00:51:05.599> who've<00:51:06.000> experienced<00:51:06.400> it.

Well,<00:51:07.680> for<00:51:07.920> many<00:51:08.160> scientists,<00:51:08.480> they<00:51:08.720> have<00:51:08.800> to<00:51:08.960> experience<00:51:09.200> it<00:51:09.640> themselves,<00:51:10.640> and<00:51:10.880> they<00:51:11.119> may<00:51:11.280> do<00:51:11.440> that<00:51:11.599> eventually.
00:51:12.319 --> 00:51:14.559

01:06:05.440 --> 01:06:13.920
So,<01:06:05.599> the<01:06:05.839> title<01:06:06.160> of<01:06:06.319> your<01:06:06.559> book<01:06:06.880> After,<01:06:07.119> as<01:06:07.440> I,<01:06:08.000> uh,<01:06:08.880> started<01:06:09.200> out<01:06:09.440> talking<01:06:09.599> about<01:06:09.760> at<01:06:09.920> the<01:06:10.079> beginning<01:06:10.240> of<01:06:10.400> our<01:06:10.559> conversation,<01:06:11.520> has<01:06:11.839> multiple<01:06:12.319> meanings<01:06:12.799> for<01:06:13.119> you.
01:06:13.920 --> 01:06:18.400
What<01:06:14.160> are<01:06:14.319> they?<01:06:14.799> Well,<01:06:15.200> the<01:06:15.440> most<01:06:15.599> obvious<01:06:15.839> one<01:06:16.079> was<01:06:16.319> what<01:06:16.480> happens<01:06:16.799> after<01:06:17.119> we<01:06:17.400> die.
01:06:18.400 --> 01:06:24.400
And<01:06:18.640> I<01:06:18.799> speculated<01:06:19.200> about<01:06:19.440> that.<01:06:19.680> You<01:06:19.839> asked<01:06:20.000> before,<01:06:20.559> what<01:06:20.799> would<01:06:20.880> it<01:06:21.039> take<01:06:21.200> for<01:06:21.440> scientists<01:06:21.760> to<01:06:21.920> be<01:06:22.240> to<01:06:22.480> show<01:06:22.720> that<01:06:23.039> this<01:06:23.280> is<01:06:23.520> true?
01:06:24.400 --> 01:06:27.839
Scientists<01:06:24.880> don't<01:06:25.039> deal<01:06:25.280> with<01:06:25.440> proof.<01:06:26.079> They<01:06:26.319> deal<01:06:26.400> with<01:06:26.559> the<01:06:26.720> weight<01:06:26.880> of<01:06:27.039> the<01:06:27.200> evidence.
01:06:27.839 --> 01:06:33.119
So<01:06:28.000> they<01:06:28.160> can<01:06:28.319> say<01:06:28.880> the<01:06:29.039> evidence<01:06:29.440> points<01:06:29.760> to<01:06:29.920> the<01:06:30.079> fact<01:06:30.240> that<01:06:30.799> we<01:06:31.039> survive,<01:06:31.520> but<01:06:31.760> they<01:06:32.000> can<01:06:32.160> never<01:06:32.319> say<01:06:32.480> it's<01:06:32.720> proven.
01:06:33.119 --> 01:06:37.520
Scientists<01:06:33.599> don't<01:06:33.839> do<01:06:33.920> that.<01:06:34.240> Yes.<01:06:34.480> And<01:06:34.640> the<01:06:34.799> scientist<01:06:35.200> to<01:06:35.359> me<01:06:35.599> says,<01:06:36.000> I<01:06:36.240> can't<01:06:36.480> say<01:06:36.640> for<01:06:36.880> sure.
01:06:37.520 --> 01:06:41.119
Yes.<01:06:37.920> But<01:06:38.079> I<01:06:38.240> believe<01:06:38.400> it<01:06:38.640> does.<01:06:39.119> I<01:06:39.359> believe<01:06:39.599> I<01:06:39.760> believe<01:06:39.920> the<01:06:40.160> evidence<01:06:40.559> points.
01:06:41.119 --> 01:06:44.280
I<01:06:41.359> can't<01:06:41.520> think<01:06:41.599> of<01:06:41.680> another<01:06:42.000> explanation<01:06:42.319> for<01:06:42.559> these<01:06:43.160> experiences.
01:06:44.280 --> 01:06:52.079
