Proof of an Afterlife: the Shared-Death Experience with Raymond Moody and Paul Perry

In this episode, guest host Christopher Naughton interviews legendary near-death experience pioneer Dr. Raymond Moody and co-author Paul Perry about their book, Proof of Life After Life. Dr. Moody explains why, as a logician, he is finally comfortable using the word proof to describe the rational basis for believing in an afterlife, moving beyond mere anecdotal storytelling to a structured logical framework.

A central focus of their discussion is the shared-death experience, where healthy bystanders witness or participate in the transition of a dying person. Perry and Moody share compelling personal accounts of shared-death experiences involving their own mothers, illustrating how these experiences provide objective, multi-witness evidence that consciousness can operate independently of the physical brain.

The conversation also explores the profound nature of the life review, a common element of near-death experiences where individuals relive their actions from the perspective of those they affected. Moody and Perry discuss how these transformative experiences, along with shifting cultural and scientific attitudes, are bridging the gap between science and spirituality, paving the way for a future where the afterlife is understood as an integrated aspect of human consciousness.

Key takeaways

• The shared-death experience provides objective, multi-witness evidence of an afterlife because healthy observers share in the dying person's transition.
• Dr. Raymond Moody defends using the word proof by applying logical frameworks to the vast body of near-death and shared-death testimonies.
• The life review is a highly transformative phase of near-death experiences, allowing individuals to experience their life's actions through the feelings of others.
• Scientific and medical receptivity to near-death and shared-death experiences has grown significantly over the past fifty years, moving from skepticism to clinical curiosity.
• Future research aims to develop conceptual tools to help people overcome the ineffability of afterlife experiences and describe them more clearly.

00:03:07.880 --> 00:03:14.461
are<00:03:07.881> concerned<00:03:07.882> about<00:03:07.883> the<00:03:07.884> question<00:03:07.885> of<00:03:07.886> an<00:03:07.887> afterlife,

00:03:14.461 --> 00:03:20.120
I<00:03:14.462> now<00:03:14.463> say<00:03:14.464> that<00:03:14.465> there<00:03:14.466> is<00:03:14.467> that<00:03:14.468> if<00:03:14.469> it<00:03:14.470> is<00:03:14.471> okay,

00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:24.192
it<00:03:20.121> is<00:03:20.122> rational<00:03:20.123> for<00:03:20.124> somebody<00:03:20.125> to<00:03:20.126> say<00:03:20.127> on<00:03:20.128> the<00:03:20.129> basis

00:03:24.192 --> 00:03:27.840
of<00:03:24.193> what<00:03:24.194> we<00:03:24.195> have<00:03:24.196> now<00:03:24.197> that<00:03:24.198> they<00:03:24.199> are<00:03:24.200> confident

00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:31.866
that<00:03:27.841> there's<00:03:27.842> an<00:03:27.843> afterlife<00:03:27.844> is<00:03:27.845> now<00:03:27.846> the<00:03:27.847> logical

00:03:31.866 --> 00:03:36.400
apparatus<00:03:31.867> or<00:03:31.868> the<00:03:31.869> thinking<00:03:31.870> apparatus<00:03:31.871> is<00:03:31.872> available

00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:42.320
so<00:03:36.401> that<00:03:36.402> you<00:03:36.403> can<00:03:36.404> think<00:03:36.405> through<00:03:36.406> the<00:03:36.407> question<00:03:36.408> of<00:03:36.409> an<00:03:36.410> afterlife<00:03:36.411> in<00:03:36.412> a<00:03:36.413> new<00:03:36.414> way<00:03:36.415> that<00:03:36.416> you<00:03:36.417> don't

00:03:42.320 --> 00:03:45.880
have<00:03:42.321> to<00:03:42.322> get<00:03:42.323> into<00:03:42.324> the<00:03:42.325> pseudoscience<00:03:42.326> and<00:03:42.327> stuff.

00:03:45.880 --> 00:03:50.390
And<00:03:46.006> that's<00:03:46.132> in<00:03:46.258> the<00:03:46.385> background.<00:03:46.511> It's<00:03:46.637> not<00:03:46.763> something,<00:03:46.889> you<00:03:47.015> know,<00:03:47.142> it's<00:03:47.268> what<00:03:47.394> most<00:03:47.520> people

00:03:50.390 --> 00:03:53.040
want<00:03:50.391> to<00:03:50.392> hear<00:03:50.393> when<00:03:50.394> they<00:03:50.395> hear<00:03:50.396> about<00:03:50.397> the<00:03:50.398> afterlife.

00:03:53.040 --> 00:03:56.080
They<00:03:53.041> want<00:03:53.042> to<00:03:53.043> hear<00:03:53.044> about<00:03:53.045> stories,<00:03:53.046> right?

00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:58.640
And<00:03:56.081> they'll<00:03:56.082> listen<00:03:56.083> to<00:03:56.084> the<00:03:56.085> stories<00:03:56.086> on<00:03:56.087> and<00:03:56.088> on<00:03:56.089> and<00:03:56.090> on.

00:03:58.640 --> 00:04:01.332
But<00:03:58.641> Plato<00:03:58.642> pointed<00:03:58.643> out<00:03:58.644> you<00:03:58.645> could<00:03:58.646> have<00:03:58.647> a<00:03:58.648> bazillion

00:04:07.781 --> 00:04:12.120
you<00:04:07.782> use<00:04:07.783> to<00:04:07.784> connect<00:04:07.785> the<00:04:07.786> stories<00:04:07.787> to<00:04:07.788> the<00:04:07.789> to<00:04:07.790> the

00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:25.640
But<00:04:16.577> I<00:04:16.675> say<00:04:16.772> it's<00:04:16.870> solved<00:04:16.967> now.<00:04:17.064> And<00:04:17.162> I<00:04:17.259> mean,<00:04:17.357> and<00:04:17.454> so<00:04:17.551> that's<00:04:17.649> why<00:04:17.746> I'm<00:04:17.843> confident<00:04:17.941> if<00:04:18.038> if<00:04:18.136> somebody<00:04:18.233> wants<00:04:18.330> to<00:04:18.428> drill<00:04:18.525> down<00:04:18.623> on<00:04:18.720> this

00:04:25.640 --> 00:04:28.640
and<00:04:25.641> test<00:04:25.642> me<00:04:25.643> on<00:04:25.644> and<00:04:25.645> I'm<00:04:25.646> ready.

00:04:28.640 --> 00:04:31.472
And<00:04:28.641> Paul,<00:04:28.642> I<00:04:28.643> would<00:04:28.644> have<00:04:28.645> to<00:04:28.646> think<00:04:28.647> and<00:04:28.648> a<00:04:28.649> central

00:04:48.320 --> 00:04:56.320
What<00:04:48.402> is<00:04:48.483> it<00:04:48.565> and<00:04:48.647> why<00:04:48.729> is<00:04:48.810> that<00:04:48.892> whole<00:04:48.974> water?<00:04:49.056> Well,<00:04:49.137> a<00:04:49.219> shared<00:04:49.301> death<00:04:49.383> experience<00:04:49.464> is<00:04:49.546> when<00:04:49.628> a<00:04:49.710> living<00:04:49.791> person<00:04:49.873> who<00:04:49.955> is<00:04:50.037> well<00:04:50.118> experiences<00:04:50.200> the

a<00:05:03.721> death<00:05:03.722> experience<00:05:03.723> that<00:05:03.724> makes<00:05:03.725> it<00:05:03.726> an<00:05:03.727> objective

So<00:05:10.241> let<00:05:10.242> me<00:05:10.243> give<00:05:10.244> you<00:05:10.245> a<00:05:10.246> couple<00:05:10.247> of<00:05:10.248> examples.

00:05:34.960 --> 00:05:37.683
In<00:05:34.961> other<00:05:34.962> cases<00:05:34.963> in<00:05:34.964> this<00:05:34.965> book,<00:05:34.966> if<00:05:34.967> you<00:05:34.968> see<00:05:34.969> a

00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:43.510
oddly<00:05:40.601> enough<00:05:40.602> many<00:05:40.603> people<00:05:40.604> have,<00:05:40.605> that<00:05:40.606> is<00:05:40.607> a<00:05:40.608> shared

00:05:52.460 --> 00:05:57.460
Another<00:05:52.625> example<00:05:52.789> would<00:05:52.954> be<00:05:53.119> a<00:05:53.284> person<00:05:53.448> who's<00:05:53.613> on<00:05:53.778> an<00:05:53.943> operating<00:05:54.107> table<00:05:54.272> and<00:05:54.437> they've<00:05:54.602> had<00:05:54.766> a<00:05:54.931> cardiac

But<00:06:09.721> if<00:06:09.722> they're<00:06:09.723> able<00:06:09.724> to<00:06:09.725> recount<00:06:09.726> accurately<00:06:09.727> later<00:06:09.728> what<00:06:09.729> occurred<00:06:09.730> in<00:06:09.731> the<00:06:09.732> operating<00:06:09.733> room

00:06:15.580 --> 00:06:20.540

Okay.<00:12:21.451> Because<00:12:21.523> we<00:12:21.594> had<00:12:21.666> a<00:12:21.737> lot<00:12:21.809> and<00:12:21.880> Paul<00:12:21.951> and<00:12:22.023> I<00:12:22.094> were<00:12:22.166> talking<00:12:22.237> about<00:12:22.309> this<00:12:22.380> way.

00:12:25.420 --> 00:12:28.260
We<00:12:25.421> were<00:12:25.422> just<00:12:25.423> assembling<00:12:25.424> a<00:12:25.425> lot<00:12:25.426> of<00:12:25.427> them.

00:12:28.260 --> 00:12:33.220
And<00:12:28.261> that<00:12:28.262> morning<00:12:28.263> after<00:12:28.264> the<00:12:28.265> conference,<00:12:28.266> it<00:12:28.267> was<00:12:28.268> a<00:12:28.269> Sunday<00:12:28.270> morning,<00:12:28.271> it<00:12:28.272> was<00:12:28.273> Mother's<00:12:28.274> Day.

I<00:12:33.221> called<00:12:33.222> my<00:12:33.223> mother<00:12:33.224> in<00:12:33.225> Macon,<00:12:33.226> Georgia,<00:12:33.227> just<00:12:33.228> to<00:12:33.229> wish<00:12:33.230> her<00:12:33.231> happy<00:12:33.232> Mother's<00:12:33.233> Day.

00:12:39.180 --> 00:12:43.780

I'm<00:12:43.931> doing<00:12:44.082> great.<00:12:44.233> Her<00:12:44.384> voice<00:12:44.536> was<00:12:44.687> so<00:12:44.838> uplifted<00:12:44.989> and<00:12:45.140> cheerful.

00:12:48.540 --> 00:12:51.240
And<00:12:48.541> then<00:12:48.542> she<00:12:48.543> said,<00:12:48.544> but<00:12:48.545> yesterday<00:12:48.546> I<00:12:48.547> developed

00:12:57.700 --> 00:13:00.469
And<00:12:57.701> I<00:12:57.702> don't<00:12:57.703> think<00:12:57.704> this<00:12:57.705> is<00:12:57.706> anything<00:12:57.707> serious,

00:13:00.469 --> 00:13:03.300
but<00:13:00.470> he<00:13:00.471> gave<00:13:00.472> her<00:13:00.473> an<00:13:00.474> appointment<00:13:00.475> to<00:13:00.476> see<00:13:00.477> another

00:13:24.280 --> 00:13:27.170
And<00:13:24.281> two<00:13:24.282> weeks<00:13:24.283> later,<00:13:24.284> indeed,<00:13:24.285> after<00:13:24.286> she<00:13:24.287> had<00:13:24.288> been

experiment.<00:15:28.553> And<00:15:28.705> that<00:15:28.858> would<00:15:29.011> be<00:15:29.164> that<00:15:29.316> I<00:15:29.469> would<00:15:29.622> go<00:15:29.775> into<00:15:29.927> a<00:15:30.080> Denny's

00:15:33.815 --> 00:15:36.980
and<00:15:33.816> I<00:15:33.817> would<00:15:33.818> announce,<00:15:33.819> hey,<00:15:33.820> I'm<00:15:33.821> working<00:15:33.822> on

00:15:36.980 --> 00:15:43.220
a<00:15:37.087> book<00:15:37.195> on<00:15:37.302> near-death<00:15:37.409> experiences.<00:15:37.517> I'm<00:15:37.624> curious<00:15:37.732> to<00:15:37.839> know<00:15:37.946> how<00:15:38.054> many<00:15:38.161> people<00:15:38.268> have<00:15:38.376> had<00:15:38.483> them,<00:15:38.591> and<00:15:38.698> I<00:15:38.805> would<00:15:38.913> describe<00:15:39.020> them.

00:15:43.220 --> 00:15:47.900
And<00:15:43.221> I've<00:15:43.222> done<00:15:43.223> the<00:15:43.224> same<00:15:43.225> with<00:15:43.226> shared-death<00:15:43.227> experiences.

00:15:47.900 --> 00:15:53.260
And<00:15:47.901> I'm<00:15:47.902> amazed<00:15:47.903> at<00:15:47.904> the<00:15:47.905> number<00:15:47.906> of<00:15:47.907> people.

00:15:53.260 --> 00:15:56.580
The<00:15:53.261> first<00:15:53.262> time<00:15:53.263> I<00:15:53.264> did<00:15:53.265> it,<00:15:53.266> I'd<00:15:53.267> gone<00:15:53.268> to<00:15:53.269> a<00:15:53.270> movie<00:15:53.271> late<00:15:53.272> at<00:15:53.273> night<00:15:53.274> with<00:15:53.275> friends.

00:15:56.580 --> 00:16:00.860
We<00:15:56.581> went<00:15:56.582> into<00:15:56.583> a<00:15:56.584> Denny's<00:15:56.585> afterwards,<00:15:56.586> and<00:15:56.587> there<00:15:56.588> were<00:15:56.589> like<00:15:56.590> 20<00:15:56.591> people<00:15:56.592> in<00:15:56.593> there.

00:16:00.860 --> 00:16:06.460
And<00:16:01.116> we<00:16:01.371> talked<00:16:01.627> about<00:16:01.882> what<00:16:02.138> I<00:16:02.393> was<00:16:02.649> working<00:16:02.904> on,<00:16:03.160> the<00:16:03.416> people<00:16:03.671> I<00:16:03.927> was<00:16:04.182> with<00:16:04.438> denied<00:16:04.693> that<00:16:04.949> they<00:16:05.204> meant<00:16:05.460> anything.

00:16:06.460 --> 00:16:09.304
So<00:16:06.461> I<00:16:06.462> stood<00:16:06.463> up<00:16:06.464> in<00:16:06.465> Denny's<00:16:06.466> and<00:16:06.467> I<00:16:06.468> announced<00:16:06.469> what

00:16:09.304 --> 00:16:11.900
I<00:16:09.305> was<00:16:09.306> working<00:16:09.307> on<00:16:09.308> and<00:16:09.309> asked<00:16:09.310> how<00:16:09.311> many<00:16:09.312> people

00:16:11.900 --> 00:16:17.601
had<00:16:12.043> had<00:16:12.187> these<00:16:12.330> experiences.<00:16:12.473> And<00:16:12.617> out<00:16:12.760> of<00:16:12.903> 20<00:16:13.047> people,<00:16:13.190> there<00:16:13.333> were<00:16:13.477> 12<00:16:13.620> people

00:16:17.601 --> 00:16:21.860
who<00:16:17.602> said<00:16:17.603> they<00:16:17.604> had<00:16:17.605> had<00:16:17.606> the<00:16:17.607> experience,<00:16:17.608> or<00:16:17.609> their

00:16:21.860 --> 00:16:28.700
grandparents<00:16:22.102> had<00:16:22.344> had<00:16:22.586> it<00:16:22.828> when<00:16:23.071> they<00:16:23.313> died,<00:16:23.555> or<00:16:23.797> they<00:16:24.039> had<00:16:24.281> talked<00:16:24.523> to<00:16:24.765> other<00:16:25.007> people<00:16:25.249> who<00:16:25.492> had<00:16:25.734> similar<00:16:25.976> experiences<00:16:26.218> to<00:16:26.460> this.

00:16:28.700 --> 00:16:31.690
And<00:16:28.701> it<00:16:28.702> intrigued<00:16:28.703> me<00:16:28.704> that<00:16:28.705> right<00:16:28.706> away<00:16:28.707> people

00:16:31.690 --> 00:16:34.820
connected<00:16:31.691> with<00:16:31.692> it,<00:16:31.693> and<00:16:31.694> right<00:16:31.695> away<00:16:31.696> they<00:16:31.697> openly

00:16:34.820 --> 00:16:38.780
spoke<00:16:34.821> about<00:16:34.822> it,<00:16:34.823> because<00:16:34.824> someone<00:16:34.825> gave<00:16:34.826> them<00:16:34.827> permission<00:16:34.828> to<00:16:34.829> speak.

00:16:38.780 --> 00:16:42.420
I<00:16:38.781> can<00:16:38.782> only<00:16:38.783> think<00:16:38.784> that<00:16:38.785> that<00:16:38.786> was<00:16:38.787> the<00:16:38.788> case.

00:16:42.420 --> 00:16:50.260
And<00:16:42.613> that's<00:16:42.806> one<00:16:42.999> of<00:16:43.192> the<00:16:43.385> hallmarks<00:16:43.578> of<00:16:43.771> the<00:16:43.964> shared-death<00:16:44.157> experience<00:16:44.350> or<00:16:44.543> the<00:16:44.737> near-death<00:16:44.930> experience<00:16:45.123> that<00:16:45.316> people<00:16:45.509> have<00:16:45.702> generally<00:16:45.895> been<00:16:46.088> reticent<00:16:46.281> to<00:16:46.474> talk<00:16:46.667> about<00:16:46.860> it.

00:16:50.260 --> 00:16:54.006
I<00:16:50.261> mean,<00:16:50.262> Raymond,<00:16:50.263> you<00:16:50.264> know,<00:16:50.265> they<00:16:50.266> may<00:16:50.267> commit

00:16:54.006 --> 00:16:58.100
you,<00:16:54.007> right,<00:16:54.008> or<00:16:54.009> they<00:16:54.010> may<00:16:54.011> just<00:16:54.012> completely<00:16:54.013> dismiss

00:16:58.100 --> 00:17:05.700
you.<00:16:58.171> Well,<00:16:58.242> yes,<00:16:58.313> there<00:16:58.384> was<00:16:58.456> some<00:16:58.527> of<00:16:58.598> that,<00:16:58.669> and<00:16:58.740> it<00:16:58.811> makes<00:16:58.882> me<00:16:58.953> sound<00:16:59.024> like<00:16:59.096> a<00:16:59.167> hero,<00:16:59.238> which<00:16:59.309> is<00:16:59.380> nice.

00:17:05.700 --> 00:17:08.500
But<00:17:05.701> in<00:17:05.702> reality,<00:17:05.703> there<00:17:05.704> was<00:17:05.705> very<00:17:05.706> little<00:17:05.707> of<00:17:05.708> that.

00:17:08.500 --> 00:17:15.100
I<00:17:08.501> had<00:17:08.502> been<00:17:08.503> doing<00:17:08.504> this<00:17:08.505> research<00:17:08.506> for<00:17:08.507> a<00:17:08.508> long<00:17:08.509> time<00:17:08.510> before<00:17:08.511> I<00:17:08.512> went<00:17:08.513> to<00:17:08.514> medical<00:17:08.515> school,<00:17:08.516> and

00:17:15.100 --> 00:17:18.979
my<00:17:15.101> friends<00:17:15.102> who<00:17:15.103> were<00:17:15.104> ahead<00:17:15.105> of<00:17:15.106> me<00:17:15.107> had<00:17:15.108> circulated

00:17:18.979 --> 00:17:22.940
word<00:17:18.980> among<00:17:18.981> the<00:17:18.982> medical<00:17:18.983> faculty<00:17:18.984> that<00:17:18.985> this<00:17:18.986> student

00:17:22.940 --> 00:17:25.500

00:17:25.500 --> 00:17:31.180
And<00:17:25.501> within<00:17:25.502> just<00:17:25.503> two<00:17:25.504> weeks<00:17:25.505> of<00:17:25.506> when<00:17:25.507> I<00:17:25.508> got<00:17:25.509> to<00:17:25.510> the<00:17:25.511> medical<00:17:25.512> school,<00:17:25.513> eight<00:17:25.514> of<00:17:25.515> my<00:17:25.516> professors

00:17:35.420 --> 00:17:40.260
And<00:17:35.421> about<00:17:35.422> half<00:17:35.423> of<00:17:35.424> them,<00:17:35.425> because<00:17:35.426> it<00:17:35.427> happened<00:17:35.428> to<00:17:35.429> me,<00:17:35.430> the<00:17:35.431> other<00:17:35.432> half<00:17:35.433> of<00:17:35.434> them,<00:17:35.435> because<00:17:35.436> they

00:17:40.260 --> 00:17:45.995

00:20:05.520 --> 00:20:10.759
is<00:20:05.696> what<00:20:05.872> happened<00:20:06.048> once.<00:20:06.224> These<00:20:06.400> things<00:20:06.576> have<00:20:06.752> always<00:20:06.928> been<00:20:07.104> known,<00:20:07.280> Plato

00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:25.317
and<00:20:22.161> so<00:20:22.162> all<00:20:22.163> of<00:20:22.164> a<00:20:22.165> sudden,<00:20:22.166> from<00:20:22.167> a<00:20:22.168> very<00:20:22.169> rare<00:20:22.170> phenomenon,

00:20:25.317 --> 00:20:30.160
this<00:20:25.561> became,<00:20:25.806> in<00:20:26.050> a<00:20:26.294> matter<00:20:26.539> of<00:20:26.783> years,<00:20:27.027> a<00:20:27.271> very<00:20:27.516> common<00:20:27.760> phenomenon.

00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:33.596
And<00:20:30.161> so<00:20:30.162> I<00:20:30.163> just<00:20:30.164> observed<00:20:30.165> it,<00:20:30.166> and<00:20:30.167> I<00:20:30.168> wrote<00:20:30.169> about

simply<00:20:40.242> take<00:20:40.243> the<00:20:40.244> move<00:20:40.245> of<00:20:40.246> asking<00:20:40.247> among<00:20:40.248> his<00:20:40.249> own

00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:47.600
patients<00:20:43.681> would<00:20:43.682> confirm<00:20:43.683> it,<00:20:43.684> and<00:20:43.685> I<00:20:43.686> knew<00:20:43.687> that<00:20:43.688> would<00:20:43.689> happen.

00:20:47.600 --> 00:20:51.840
It<00:20:47.601> wasn't<00:20:47.602> anything<00:20:47.603> like<00:20:47.604> courage,<00:20:47.605> oh,<00:20:47.606> you<00:20:47.607> were<00:20:47.608> so<00:20:47.609> courageous,<00:20:47.610> no.

00:20:51.840 --> 00:20:55.120
I<00:20:51.841> knew<00:20:51.842> what<00:20:51.843> would<00:20:51.844> happen.

00:20:55.120 --> 00:21:03.394
But<00:20:55.319> you<00:20:55.517> were<00:20:55.716> a<00:20:55.915> pioneer.<00:20:56.113> You<00:20:56.312> were<00:20:56.511> at<00:20:56.709> the<00:20:56.908> very,<00:20:57.107> just<00:20:57.305> like<00:20:57.504> our<00:20:57.703> own<00:20:57.901> Jeffrey<00:20:58.100> Mishlove,<00:20:58.299> when<00:20:58.497> you're<00:20:58.696> a<00:20:58.895> pioneer<00:20:59.093> and<00:20:59.292> you're<00:20:59.491> one<00:20:59.689> of<00:20:59.888> the<00:21:00.087> first<00:21:00.285> ones<00:21:00.484> out<00:21:00.683> there,<00:21:00.881> what's<00:21:01.080> the

00:21:03.394 --> 00:21:10.480
old<00:21:03.593> adage,<00:21:03.792> first<00:21:03.991> they<00:21:04.190> laugh<00:21:04.389> at<00:21:04.589> you,<00:21:04.788> you<00:21:04.987> know,<00:21:05.186> then<00:21:05.385> they<00:21:05.584> violently<00:21:05.783> oppose<00:21:05.982> you,<00:21:06.181> and<00:21:06.380> then<00:21:06.579> they<00:21:06.778> accept<00:21:06.978> what<00:21:07.177> you<00:21:07.376> have<00:21:07.575> to<00:21:07.774> say<00:21:07.973> as<00:21:08.172> self-evident.

00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:13.920
So<00:21:10.481> it<00:21:10.482> is<00:21:10.483> like<00:21:10.484> that.

00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:18.560

00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:15.319
And<00:22:12.681> so,<00:22:12.682> I<00:22:12.683> mean,<00:22:12.684> it's<00:22:12.685> just<00:22:12.686> like,<00:22:12.687> a<00:22:12.688> job<00:22:12.689> is<00:22:12.690> a

00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:18.080
way<00:22:15.320> of<00:22:15.321> avoiding<00:22:15.322> work<00:22:15.323> is<00:22:15.324> what<00:22:15.325> I<00:22:15.326> say,<00:22:15.327> it's<00:22:15.328> like

00:22:18.080 --> 00:22:20.855
people<00:22:18.081> want<00:22:18.082> to<00:22:18.083> form<00:22:18.084> factions<00:22:18.085> and<00:22:18.086> hate<00:22:18.087> each

00:22:20.855 --> 00:22:23.760
other<00:22:20.856> or<00:22:20.857> have<00:22:20.858> meetings<00:22:20.859> because<00:22:20.860> they<00:22:20.861> just<00:22:20.862> love

00:22:23.760 --> 00:22:28.560

00:22:28.560 --> 00:22:32.360
If<00:22:28.561> you<00:22:28.562> want<00:22:28.563> to<00:22:28.564> work,<00:22:28.565> you<00:22:28.566> work<00:22:28.567> for<00:22:28.568> yourself.

00:22:32.360 --> 00:22:37.600
So<00:22:32.361> to<00:22:32.362> me,<00:22:32.363> I<00:22:32.364> just,<00:22:32.365> you<00:22:32.366> know,<00:22:32.367> that<00:22:32.368> stuff<00:22:32.369> exists,<00:22:32.370> but<00:22:32.371> I'm<00:22:32.372> just<00:22:32.373> not<00:22:32.374> interested<00:22:32.375> in<00:22:32.376> it.

00:22:37.600 --> 00:22:42.760
I've<00:22:37.764> never<00:22:37.927> been<00:22:38.091> competitive.<00:22:38.255> I<00:22:38.418> just,<00:22:38.582> what<00:22:38.745> is<00:22:38.909> the<00:22:39.073> point<00:22:39.236> of<00:22:39.400> competition?

00:22:42.760 --> 00:22:48.360
You<00:22:42.761> know,<00:22:42.762> working<00:22:42.763> together,<00:22:42.764> it<00:22:42.765> works<00:22:42.766> so<00:22:42.767> much<00:22:42.768> better,<00:22:42.769> you<00:22:42.770> learn<00:22:42.771> a<00:22:42.772> lot<00:22:42.773> more.

00:22:48.360 --> 00:22:53.560
Paul,<00:22:48.361> what<00:22:48.362> of<00:22:48.363> it,<00:22:48.364> your<00:22:48.365> experience,<00:22:48.366> what<00:22:48.367> kind<00:22:48.368> of<00:22:48.369> perspective<00:22:48.370> did<00:22:48.371> you<00:22:48.372> experience?

00:22:53.560 --> 00:23:00.120
When<00:22:53.561> I<00:22:53.562> first<00:22:53.563> started<00:22:53.564> out,<00:22:53.565> which<00:22:53.566> was<00:22:53.567> really<00:22:53.568> the<00:22:53.569> book<00:22:53.570> we<00:22:53.571> did,<00:22:53.572> Light<00:22:53.573> Beyond,<00:22:53.574> I<00:22:53.575> was<00:22:53.576> also

00:23:00.120 --> 00:23:06.360
writing<00:23:00.121> a<00:23:00.122> book<00:23:00.123> on<00:23:00.124> reversing<00:23:00.125> heart<00:23:00.126> disease<00:23:00.127> with<00:23:00.128> a<00:23:00.129> doctor<00:23:00.130> at<00:23:00.131> Case<00:23:00.132> Western<00:23:00.133> University,

00:23:06.360 --> 00:23:09.160
Herman<00:23:06.361> Hellerstein,<00:23:06.362> cardiologist.

00:23:09.160 --> 00:23:14.360
And<00:23:09.161> he<00:23:09.162> asked<00:23:09.163> me<00:23:09.164> one<00:23:09.165> day,<00:23:09.166> we<00:23:09.167> were<00:23:09.168> at<00:23:09.169> the<00:23:09.170> hospital<00:23:09.171> standing<00:23:09.172> by<00:23:09.173> a<00:23:09.174> nurse's<00:23:09.175> station,

00:23:14.360 --> 00:23:19.240
and<00:23:14.361> he<00:23:14.362> said,<00:23:14.363> what<00:23:14.364> else<00:23:14.365> are<00:23:14.366> you<00:23:14.367> working<00:23:14.368> on<00:23:14.369> besides<00:23:14.370> this<00:23:14.371> book<00:23:14.372> on<00:23:14.373> heart<00:23:14.374> disease?

00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:21.960
And<00:23:19.241> I<00:23:19.242> told<00:23:19.243> him<00:23:19.244> about<00:23:19.245> near-death<00:23:19.246> experiences.

00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:27.880
And<00:23:21.961> he<00:23:21.962> shook<00:23:21.963> his<00:23:21.964> head<00:23:21.965> and<00:23:21.966> he<00:23:21.967> said,<00:23:21.968> you<00:23:21.969> know,<00:23:21.970> I've<00:23:21.971> resuscitated<00:23:21.972> hundreds<00:23:21.973> of<00:23:21.974> people.

00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:34.200
They<00:23:28.058> always<00:23:28.236> say<00:23:28.413> hundreds<00:23:28.591> or<00:23:28.769> thousands.<00:23:28.947> They<00:23:29.124> have<00:23:29.302> a<00:23:29.480> lot.

00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:39.880
I've<00:23:34.201> resuscitated<00:23:34.202> hundreds<00:23:34.203> of<00:23:34.204> people<00:23:34.205> and<00:23:34.206> never<00:23:34.207> have<00:23:34.208> I<00:23:34.209> heard<00:23:34.210> a<00:23:34.211> near-death<00:23:34.212> experience.

00:23:39.880 --> 00:23:47.320
And<00:23:39.881> then<00:23:39.882> he<00:23:39.883> got<00:23:39.884> called<00:23:39.885> away<00:23:39.886> from<00:23:39.887> the<00:23:39.888> station<00:23:39.889> and<00:23:39.890> all<00:23:39.891> the<00:23:39.892> nurses<00:23:39.893> came<00:23:39.894> over<00:23:39.895> to<00:23:39.896> the

00:23:47.320 --> 00:23:50.600
and<00:23:47.321> they<00:23:47.322> said,<00:23:47.323> we<00:23:47.324> hear<00:23:47.325> them<00:23:47.326> all<00:23:47.327> the<00:23:47.328> time.

00:23:50.600 --> 00:23:53.869
And<00:23:50.601> the<00:23:50.602> problem<00:23:50.603> is<00:23:50.604> that<00:23:50.605> most<00:23:50.606> doctors,<00:23:50.607> Hellerstein

00:23:53.869 --> 00:23:57.640
included,<00:23:53.870> they<00:23:53.871> don't<00:23:53.872> talk<00:23:53.873> to<00:23:53.874> their<00:23:53.875> patients

00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:02.280
or<00:23:57.641> they<00:23:57.642> don't<00:23:57.643> really<00:23:57.644> dig<00:23:57.645> in<00:23:57.646> on<00:23:57.647> what<00:23:57.648> happened<00:23:57.649> when<00:23:57.650> they<00:23:57.651> had<00:23:57.652> a<00:23:57.653> cardiac<00:23:57.654> arrest.

00:24:02.280 --> 00:24:08.200
And<00:24:02.281> that<00:24:02.282> was<00:24:02.283> the<00:24:02.284> persistent<00:24:02.285> view<00:24:02.286> for<00:24:02.287> a<00:24:02.288> long<00:24:02.289> time.

00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:11.160
Now<00:24:08.201> it's<00:24:08.202> changed,<00:24:08.203> I<00:24:08.204> think<00:24:08.205> substantially<00:24:08.206> changed.

00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:17.320
So<00:24:11.161> with<00:24:11.162> this<00:24:11.163> book,<00:24:11.164> I'm<00:24:11.165> amazed<00:24:11.166> at<00:24:11.167> how<00:24:11.168> many<00:24:11.169> doctors<00:24:11.170> we<00:24:11.171> have<00:24:11.172> talking<00:24:11.173> about,

00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:25.080
It's<00:24:22.441> not<00:24:22.442> as<00:24:22.443> it's<00:24:22.444> not<00:24:22.445> as<00:24:22.446> out<00:24:22.447> there<00:24:22.448> anymore.

So<00:24:41.561> Valerie<00:24:41.562> suggests,<00:24:41.563> why<00:24:41.564> don't<00:24:41.565> we<00:24:41.566> go<00:24:41.567> back<00:24:41.568> to<00:24:41.569> one<00:24:41.570> of<00:24:41.571> those<00:24:41.572> early<00:24:41.573> Unsolved<00:24:41.574> Mystery

00:27:04.840 --> 00:27:09.736
But<00:27:05.000> so<00:27:05.160> that's<00:27:05.320> how<00:27:05.480> it<00:27:05.640> developed.<00:27:05.800> And<00:27:05.960> anybody<00:27:06.120> who<00:27:06.280> looks<00:27:06.440> into<00:27:06.600> this<00:27:06.760> sympathetically

00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:18.720
What<00:27:14.994> you<00:27:15.068> have<00:27:15.142> to<00:27:15.215> do.<00:27:15.289> I<00:27:15.363> mean,<00:27:15.437> you<00:27:15.511> know,<00:27:15.585> they're<00:27:15.658> not<00:27:15.732> going<00:27:15.806> to<00:27:15.880> tell

00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:21.560
somebody<00:27:18.721> who's<00:27:18.722> brusque<00:27:18.723> or<00:27:18.724> you<00:27:18.725> have<00:27:18.726> to<00:27:18.727> convey

00:27:21.560 --> 00:27:24.200
that<00:27:21.561> you're<00:27:21.562> willing<00:27:21.563> to<00:27:21.564> listen.

00:27:24.200 --> 00:27:29.560
You<00:27:24.201> know,<00:27:24.202> you<00:27:24.203> know,<00:27:24.204> what's<00:27:24.205> interesting<00:27:24.206> is<00:27:24.207> that<00:27:24.208> not<00:27:24.209> long<00:27:24.210> after<00:27:24.211> your<00:27:24.212> book,

00:27:29.560 --> 00:27:32.320
Life<00:27:29.561> After<00:27:29.562> Life<00:27:29.563> came<00:27:29.564> out,<00:27:29.565> even<00:27:29.566> though,<00:27:29.567> again,

00:27:32.320 --> 00:27:35.400
I<00:27:32.321> think<00:27:32.322> you<00:27:32.323> were<00:27:32.324> being<00:27:32.325> pushed<00:27:32.326> back<00:27:32.327> against

00:27:35.400 --> 00:27:38.760
by<00:27:35.401> fundamentalists<00:27:35.402> who<00:27:35.403> didn't<00:27:35.404> like<00:27:35.405> what<00:27:35.406> they<00:27:35.407> were<00:27:35.408> hearing<00:27:35.409> by<00:27:35.410> scientific<00:27:35.411> materialism.

00:27:38.760 --> 00:27:42.760
Now<00:27:38.935> I<00:27:39.109> greatly<00:27:39.284> enjoy<00:27:39.458> it.<00:27:39.633> Well,<00:27:39.807> of<00:27:39.982> course,<00:27:40.156> all<00:27:40.331> these<00:27:40.505> years<00:27:40.680> later.

00:27:42.760 --> 00:27:47.000
But<00:27:42.945> at<00:27:43.129> first,<00:27:43.314> there's<00:27:43.498> that<00:27:43.683> great<00:27:43.868> push<00:27:44.052> against<00:27:44.237> us.<00:27:44.422> This<00:27:44.606> can't<00:27:44.791> possibly<00:27:44.975> be<00:27:45.160> real.

00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:51.480
But<00:27:47.153> here's<00:27:47.305> what's<00:27:47.458> interesting.<00:27:47.611> It<00:27:47.764> started<00:27:47.916> to<00:27:48.069> seep<00:27:48.222> into<00:27:48.375> the<00:27:48.527> zeitgeist<00:27:48.680> anyway.

00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:54.840
And<00:27:51.481> I<00:27:51.482> love<00:27:51.483> looking<00:27:51.484> at<00:27:51.485> popular<00:27:51.486> culture.

00:27:54.840 --> 00:28:00.120
Three<00:27:54.934> movies<00:27:55.028> within<00:27:55.122> 10<00:27:55.216> years.<00:27:55.311> So<00:27:55.405> the<00:27:55.499> 1980s,<00:27:55.593> we<00:27:55.687> think<00:27:55.781> of,<00:27:55.875> you<00:27:55.969> know,<00:27:56.064> Ronald<00:27:56.158> Reagan<00:27:56.252> and<00:27:56.346> New<00:27:56.440> Wave.

00:28:00.120 --> 00:28:04.680
It<00:28:00.121> was<00:28:00.122> also<00:28:00.123> the<00:28:00.124> same<00:28:00.125> decade<00:28:00.126> where<00:28:00.127> Shirley<00:28:00.128> MacLaine's<00:28:00.129> Out<00:28:00.130> on<00:28:00.131> a<00:28:00.132> Limb<00:28:00.133> came<00:28:00.134> out.

00:28:04.680 --> 00:28:09.240
But<00:28:04.681> that<00:28:04.682> movie<00:28:04.683> Resurrection<00:28:04.684> with<00:28:04.685> Ellen<00:28:04.686> Burstyn<00:28:04.687> that<00:28:04.688> came<00:28:04.689> out<00:28:04.690> in<00:28:04.691> 1980.

And<00:28:09.337> correct<00:28:09.434> me<00:28:09.531> if<00:28:09.627> I'm<00:28:09.724> wrong.<00:28:09.821> I<00:28:09.918> think<00:28:10.015> Bruce<00:28:10.112> thinks<00:28:10.208> Grayson<00:28:10.305> thinks<00:28:10.402> that<00:28:10.499> there<00:28:10.596> are<00:28:10.693> a<00:28:10.789> lot<00:28:10.886> of<00:28:10.983> NDE<00:28:11.080> movies

00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:23.640
along<00:28:15.503> a<00:28:15.606> lot<00:28:15.709> earlier<00:28:15.811> before<00:28:15.914> that.<00:28:16.017> But<00:28:16.120> growing<00:28:16.223> up<00:28:16.326> as<00:28:16.429> a<00:28:16.531> young<00:28:16.634> man<00:28:16.737> in<00:28:16.840> 1980,<00:28:16.943> that<00:28:17.046> that<00:28:17.149> movie<00:28:17.251> Resurrection<00:28:17.354> with<00:28:17.457> Ellen<00:28:17.560> Burstyn

00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:28.920
took<00:28:23.641> people<00:28:23.642> through<00:28:23.643> death<00:28:23.644> off<00:28:23.645> the<00:28:23.646> operating<00:28:23.647> table,<00:28:23.648> looking<00:28:23.649> down,<00:28:23.650> seeing<00:28:23.651> their<00:28:23.652> body,

00:28:28.920 --> 00:28:33.960

00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:39.480
So<00:28:33.961> it<00:28:33.962> your<00:28:33.963> work,<00:28:33.964> because<00:28:33.965> before<00:28:33.966> that,<00:28:33.967> it<00:28:33.968> was<00:28:33.969> people<00:28:33.970> experienced<00:28:33.971> better.

00:28:39.480 --> 00:28:42.737
What<00:28:39.481> had<00:28:39.482> been<00:28:39.483> popular<00:28:39.484> is<00:28:39.485> nobody<00:28:39.486> had<00:28:39.487> distilled

00:28:42.737 --> 00:28:45.640
it<00:28:42.738> into<00:28:42.739> a<00:28:42.740> book<00:28:42.741> yet<00:28:42.742> that<00:28:42.743> had<00:28:42.744> to<00:28:42.745> be<00:28:42.746> greatly

gratifying<00:28:45.641> to<00:28:45.642> see<00:28:45.643> movies<00:28:45.644> and<00:28:45.645> even<00:28:45.646> television<00:28:45.647> series<00:28:45.648> that<00:28:45.649> emulated<00:28:45.650> your<00:28:45.651> work.

00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:58.381
I<00:28:53.721> think<00:28:53.722> to<00:28:53.723> somebody<00:28:53.724> with<00:28:53.725> Asperger's<00:28:53.726> syndrome,

that<00:29:02.841> type<00:29:02.842> of<00:29:02.843> I'm<00:29:02.844> I'm<00:29:02.845> interested<00:29:02.846> in<00:29:02.847> facts<00:29:02.848> and<00:29:02.849> things.

00:29:09.000 --> 00:29:15.160
I<00:29:09.001> you<00:29:09.002> know,<00:29:09.003> the<00:29:09.004> I<00:29:09.005> wasn't<00:29:09.006> even<00:29:09.007> socially

00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:20.600
apt<00:29:15.161> enough<00:29:15.162> to<00:29:15.163> be<00:29:15.164> able<00:29:15.165> to<00:29:15.166> respond<00:29:15.167> to<00:29:15.168> the<00:29:15.169> kind<00:29:15.170> of<00:29:15.171> thing<00:29:15.172> you're<00:29:15.173> talking<00:29:15.174> to.

00:29:20.600 --> 00:29:24.920
I<00:29:20.800> I<00:29:21.000> don't<00:29:21.200> know.<00:29:21.400> But<00:29:21.600> did<00:29:21.800> you<00:29:22.000> ever<00:29:22.200> see<00:29:22.400> those<00:29:22.600> movies?

00:29:24.920 --> 00:29:27.880
Did<00:29:24.921> you<00:29:24.922> ever<00:29:24.923> see<00:29:24.924> Ghost<00:29:24.925> or<00:29:24.926> Defending<00:29:24.927> Your<00:29:24.928> Life<00:29:24.929> or<00:29:24.930> some<00:29:24.931> of<00:29:24.932> them?

00:29:27.880 --> 00:29:31.560
We<00:29:28.177> never<00:29:28.474> did.<00:29:28.771> Your<00:29:29.069> handiwork's<00:29:29.366> all<00:29:29.663> over<00:29:29.960> that.

00:29:31.560 --> 00:29:34.440
But<00:29:31.561> go<00:29:31.562> ahead,<00:29:31.563> Raymond.

00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:37.800
Well,<00:29:34.441> I<00:29:34.442> just,<00:29:34.443> you<00:29:34.444> know,<00:29:34.445> like<00:29:34.446> I<00:29:34.447> said,<00:29:34.448> I'm<00:29:34.449> a<00:29:34.450> book<00:29:34.451> person.

00:29:37.800 --> 00:29:42.600
I<00:29:37.801> recently<00:29:37.802> started<00:29:37.803> putting<00:29:37.804> books<00:29:37.805> up<00:29:37.806> on<00:29:37.807> my<00:29:37.808> shelf<00:29:37.809> in<00:29:37.810> a<00:29:37.811> new<00:29:37.812> place,<00:29:37.813> new<00:29:37.814> room.

00:29:42.600 --> 00:29:46.597
And<00:29:42.601> I<00:29:42.602> figured<00:29:42.603> out<00:29:42.604> just<00:29:42.605> that<00:29:42.606> I<00:29:42.607> read<00:29:42.608> one<00:29:42.609> hundred

00:29:50.680 --> 00:29:54.680
I<00:29:50.681> had<00:29:50.682> never<00:29:50.683> kept<00:29:50.684> track<00:29:50.685> before<00:29:50.686> because<00:29:50.687> of<00:29:50.688> no<00:29:50.689> interest.

00:29:54.680 --> 00:29:57.480
But<00:29:54.681> now<00:29:54.682> that<00:29:54.683> I've<00:29:54.684> changed<00:29:54.685> mine.

00:30:13.560 --> 00:30:16.229
Well,<00:30:13.561> I<00:30:13.562> was<00:30:13.563> just<00:30:13.564> going<00:30:13.565> to<00:30:13.566> say,<00:30:13.567> just<00:30:13.568> the<00:30:13.569> other

00:30:16.229 --> 00:30:18.840

00:30:18.840 --> 00:30:22.440
Resurrection.<00:30:19.080> Yes.<00:30:19.320> Yeah,<00:30:19.560> I<00:30:19.800> just<00:30:20.040> picked<00:30:20.280> that<00:30:20.520> one<00:30:20.760> up.

00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:26.520
Gotcha.<00:30:22.509> But,<00:30:22.577> you<00:30:22.646> know,<00:30:22.714> there<00:30:22.783> is<00:30:22.851> still<00:30:22.920> kickback.

00:30:26.520 --> 00:30:30.520
I<00:30:26.521> mean,<00:30:26.522> it's<00:30:26.523> not<00:30:26.524> everyone<00:30:26.525> doesn't<00:30:26.526> buy<00:30:26.527> in<00:30:26.528> near-death<00:30:26.529> experiences.

00:30:30.520 --> 00:30:33.320
And<00:30:30.521> on<00:30:30.522> Sunday,<00:30:30.523> it<00:30:30.524> was<00:30:30.525> it<00:30:30.526> was<00:30:30.527> an<00:30:30.528> example<00:30:30.529> for<00:30:30.530> me.

00:30:33.320 --> 00:30:39.400
I<00:30:33.321> was<00:30:33.322> invited<00:30:33.323> to<00:30:33.324> speak<00:30:33.325> at<00:30:33.326> a<00:30:33.327> church<00:30:33.328> about<00:30:33.329> our<00:30:33.330> upcoming<00:30:33.331> book.

00:30:39.400 --> 00:30:42.760
And<00:30:39.401> then<00:30:39.402> I<00:30:39.403> was<00:30:39.404> disinvited<00:30:39.405> in<00:30:39.406> the<00:30:39.407> same<00:30:39.408> day.

00:30:42.760 --> 00:30:45.880
Because<00:30:42.761> because,<00:30:42.762> quote,<00:30:42.763> "All<00:30:42.764> we<00:30:42.765> need<00:30:42.766> is<00:30:42.767> Jesus."

00:30:45.880 --> 00:30:52.600
We<00:30:46.026> don't<00:30:46.172> need<00:30:46.318> that<00:30:46.464> stuff.<00:30:46.609> ...we<00:30:46.755> need<00:30:46.901> is<00:30:47.047> Jesus.<00:30:47.193> And<00:30:47.339> this<00:30:47.485> is<00:30:47.631> as<00:30:47.776> sophisticated<00:30:47.922> as<00:30:48.068> maybe,<00:30:48.214> you<00:30:48.360> know,

00:30:52.600 --> 00:30:57.160
when<00:30:52.601> they<00:30:52.602> ask<00:30:52.603> me<00:30:52.604> if<00:30:52.605> I'm<00:30:52.606> a<00:30:52.607> Christian,<00:30:52.608> I<00:30:52.609> say,<00:30:52.610> do<00:30:52.611> you<00:30:52.612> mean<00:30:52.613> Jesus<00:30:52.614> or<00:30:52.615> Jaysus?

00:30:57.160 --> 00:31:00.840
It's<00:30:57.161> a<00:30:57.162> big,<00:30:57.163> big,<00:30:57.164> big<00:30:57.165> difference<00:30:57.166> there.

00:31:00.840 --> 00:31:05.733
I'm<00:31:00.964> glad<00:31:01.089> you<00:31:01.213> said<00:31:01.338> that<00:31:01.462> rather<00:31:01.587> than<00:31:01.711> me,<00:31:01.836> Raymond.<00:31:01.960> But,<00:31:02.084> you<00:31:02.209> know,<00:31:02.333> on<00:31:02.458> the<00:31:02.582> other<00:31:02.707> side<00:31:02.831> of<00:31:02.956> the<00:31:03.080> coin,

00:31:05.733 --> 00:31:08.920
as<00:31:05.734> you<00:31:05.735> know,<00:31:05.736> Jeff<00:31:05.737> Long<00:31:05.738> has<00:31:05.739> done<00:31:05.740> a<00:31:05.741> lot<00:31:05.742> of

00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:12.600
research<00:31:08.921> on<00:31:08.922> who<00:31:08.923> has<00:31:08.924> what<00:31:08.925> when<00:31:08.926> they<00:31:08.927> have<00:31:08.928> a<00:31:08.929> near-death<00:31:08.930> experience.

00:31:12.600 --> 00:31:17.800
And<00:31:12.701> he's<00:31:12.803> gone<00:31:12.904> through<00:31:13.005> hundreds.<00:31:13.107> He's<00:31:13.208> got<00:31:13.309> he<00:31:13.411> literally<00:31:13.512> has<00:31:13.613> gone<00:31:13.715> through<00:31:13.816> thousands<00:31:13.917> of<00:31:14.019> case<00:31:14.120> studies.

00:31:17.800 --> 00:31:22.040
And<00:31:17.801> one<00:31:17.802> of<00:31:17.803> the<00:31:17.804> things<00:31:17.805> he's<00:31:17.806> found<00:31:17.807> that<00:31:17.808> he<00:31:17.809> hasn't<00:31:17.810> totally<00:31:17.811> written<00:31:17.812> about<00:31:17.813> yet

00:31:22.040 --> 00:31:27.320
is<00:31:22.041> that<00:31:22.042> a<00:31:22.043> very<00:31:22.044> high<00:31:22.045> percentage<00:31:22.046> of<00:31:22.047> people,<00:31:22.048> regardless<00:31:22.049> of<00:31:22.050> their<00:31:22.051> religious<00:31:22.052> background,

00:31:27.320 --> 00:31:35.000
see<00:31:27.505> Jesus.<00:31:27.690> It's<00:31:27.875> a<00:31:28.060> very<00:31:28.245> high<00:31:28.430> percentage.<00:31:28.615> I'm<00:31:28.800> not<00:31:28.985> a<00:31:29.170> Bible<00:31:29.355> thumper,<00:31:29.540> but<00:31:29.725> I<00:31:29.910> find<00:31:30.095> that<00:31:30.280> intriguing.

00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:38.412
I've<00:31:35.001> had<00:31:35.002> three<00:31:35.003> Muslims<00:31:35.004> over<00:31:35.005> the<00:31:35.006> years<00:31:35.007> who<00:31:35.008> had

00:31:38.412 --> 00:31:43.240
near-death<00:31:38.413> experiences<00:31:38.414> who<00:31:38.415> told<00:31:38.416> me<00:31:38.417> they<00:31:38.418> saw<00:31:38.419> Jesus.

00:31:43.240 --> 00:31:49.080
Now,<00:31:43.241> even<00:31:43.242> at<00:31:43.243> the<00:31:43.244> time<00:31:43.245> when<00:31:43.246> it<00:31:43.247> is<00:31:43.248> going<00:31:43.249> on<00:31:43.250> years<00:31:43.251> ago,<00:31:43.252> I<00:31:43.253> was<00:31:43.254> wondering<00:31:43.255> whether,

00:31:49.080 --> 00:31:54.760
you<00:31:49.081> know,<00:31:49.082> there<00:31:49.083> is<00:31:49.084> the<00:31:49.085> prohibition<00:31:49.086> of<00:31:49.087> seeing<00:31:49.088> an<00:31:49.089> image<00:31:49.090> of<00:31:49.091> Muhammad,<00:31:49.092> right?

00:31:54.760 --> 00:31:57.880
So<00:31:54.761> I<00:31:54.762> didn't<00:31:54.763> know<00:31:54.764> whether<00:31:54.765> that<00:31:54.766> was<00:31:54.767> part<00:31:54.768> of<00:31:54.769> the.

00:31:57.880 --> 00:32:01.400
But<00:31:57.881> anyway,<00:31:57.882> they<00:31:57.883> did<00:31:57.884> say<00:31:57.885> seeing<00:31:57.886> Jesus.

00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:04.840
Yeah,<00:32:01.401> there's<00:32:01.402> a<00:32:01.403> lot<00:32:01.404> of<00:32:01.405> them<00:32:01.406> that<00:32:01.407> are<00:32:01.408> very<00:32:01.409> open<00:32:01.410> to<00:32:01.411> Jesus.

00:32:04.840 --> 00:32:09.800
He's<00:32:04.841> supposed<00:32:04.842> to<00:32:04.843> come<00:32:04.844> in<00:32:04.845> on<00:32:04.846> a<00:32:04.847> white<00:32:04.848> horse<00:32:04.849> with<00:32:04.850> Muhammad<00:32:04.851> in<00:32:04.852> the<00:32:04.853> end<00:32:04.854> times.

00:32:09.800 --> 00:32:12.520
So<00:32:09.801> he's<00:32:09.802> part<00:32:09.803> of<00:32:09.804> the<00:32:09.805> team.

00:32:12.520 --> 00:32:17.720
But<00:32:12.521> I<00:32:12.522> went<00:32:12.523> to<00:32:12.524> Egypt<00:32:12.525> several<00:32:12.526> years<00:32:12.527> ago<00:32:12.528> and<00:32:12.529> I<00:32:12.530> followed<00:32:12.531> the<00:32:12.532> trail<00:32:12.533> of<00:32:12.534> Jesus<00:32:12.535> through<00:32:12.536> Egypt.

00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:20.280
And<00:32:17.721> I<00:32:17.722> was<00:32:17.723> amazed<00:32:17.724> at<00:32:17.725> a<00:32:17.726> couple<00:32:17.727> of<00:32:17.728> things.

00:32:20.280 --> 00:32:25.080
One<00:32:20.281> is<00:32:20.282> that<00:32:20.283> the<00:32:20.284> trail<00:32:20.285> was<00:32:20.286> created<00:32:20.287> by<00:32:20.288> both<00:32:20.289> Muslims<00:32:20.290> and<00:32:20.291> Christians.

00:32:25.080 --> 00:32:28.440
Because<00:32:25.081> the<00:32:25.082> Muslims<00:32:25.083> consider<00:32:25.084> Jesus<00:32:25.085> to<00:32:25.086> be<00:32:25.087> a<00:32:25.088> part<00:32:25.089> of<00:32:25.090> their<00:32:25.091> religion.

00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:31.880
And<00:32:28.441> how<00:32:28.442> many<00:32:28.443> Muslims<00:32:28.444> helped<00:32:28.445> me<00:32:28.446> find<00:32:28.447> what<00:32:28.448> I<00:32:28.449> was

00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:36.440
looking<00:32:31.881> for<00:32:31.882> because<00:32:31.883> it<00:32:31.884> wasn't<00:32:31.885> a<00:32:31.886> distinct<00:32:31.887> trail.

00:32:36.440 --> 00:32:42.728
You<00:32:36.612> see,<00:32:36.784> and<00:32:36.956> some<00:32:37.128> of<00:32:37.300> the<00:32:37.472> things<00:32:37.644> you<00:32:37.816> gentlemen<00:32:37.988> are<00:32:38.160> talking<00:32:38.332> about<00:32:38.504> intrigue<00:32:38.676> me,<00:32:38.848> too,<00:32:39.020> because<00:32:39.192> I've<00:32:39.364> written<00:32:39.536> about<00:32:39.708> polarization,<00:32:39.880> political

00:32:48.040 --> 00:32:53.800
But<00:32:48.109> it's<00:32:48.178> really<00:32:48.247> it's<00:32:48.316> all<00:32:48.385> around<00:32:48.455> the<00:32:48.524> world.<00:32:48.593> But<00:32:48.662> one<00:32:48.731> of<00:32:48.800> the<00:32:48.869> things<00:32:48.938> or<00:32:49.007> some<00:32:49.076> of<00:32:49.145> the<00:32:49.215> things<00:32:49.284> that<00:32:49.353> I'm<00:32:49.422> finding<00:32:49.491> that<00:32:49.560> you're

creating<00:32:53.801> common<00:32:53.802> ground<00:32:53.803> are<00:32:53.804> things<00:32:53.805> such<00:32:53.806> as<00:32:53.807> UAPs,<00:32:53.808> near-death<00:32:53.809> experiences,<00:32:53.810> all<00:32:53.811> of<00:32:53.812> these,

00:33:00.600 --> 00:33:03.856
what<00:33:00.601> Jeffrey<00:33:00.602> has<00:33:00.603> talked<00:33:00.604> about<00:33:00.605> on<00:33:00.606> this<00:33:00.607> program,

00:33:03.856 --> 00:33:07.320
kind<00:33:03.857> of<00:33:03.858> on<00:33:03.859> a<00:33:03.860> continuum<00:33:03.861> of<00:33:03.862> psi-related<00:33:03.863> experiences.

00:33:07.320 --> 00:33:11.480
And<00:33:07.321> although<00:33:07.322> I<00:33:07.323> hear<00:33:07.324> you,<00:33:07.325> Paul,<00:33:07.326> that<00:33:07.327> there<00:33:07.328> are<00:33:07.329> still<00:33:07.330> some<00:33:07.331> churches<00:33:07.332> that<00:33:07.333> say,<00:33:07.334> you<00:33:07.335> know,

00:33:11.480 --> 00:33:15.650
don't<00:33:11.589> come<00:33:11.698> in.<00:33:11.807> I<00:33:11.916> mean,<00:33:12.025> Jeffrey<00:33:12.135> was<00:33:12.244> was<00:33:12.353> disinvited<00:33:12.462> to,<00:33:12.571> you<00:33:12.680> know,

00:33:15.650 --> 00:33:18.680
a<00:33:15.651> scientific<00:33:15.652> group,<00:33:15.653> I<00:33:15.654> believe,<00:33:15.655> in<00:33:15.656> Nevada<00:33:15.657> recently.

00:33:18.680 --> 00:33:23.400
He<00:33:18.681> was<00:33:18.682> invited<00:33:18.683> then<00:33:18.684> disinvited<00:33:18.685> because<00:33:18.686> it's<00:33:18.687> still<00:33:18.688> a<00:33:18.689> little<00:33:18.690> too<00:33:18.691> woo<00:33:18.692> for<00:33:18.693> them.

00:33:23.400 --> 00:33:26.674
But<00:33:23.401> there<00:33:23.402> are<00:33:23.403> people<00:33:23.404> who<00:33:23.405> are<00:33:23.406> consider<00:33:23.407> themselves

00:33:26.674 --> 00:33:29.480
to<00:33:26.675> be<00:33:26.676> dyed-in-the-wool<00:33:26.677> Christians<00:33:26.678> who<00:33:26.679> say,

00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:32.440
yeah,<00:33:29.481> my<00:33:29.482> grandmother<00:33:29.483> went<00:33:29.484> when<00:33:29.485> my<00:33:29.486> grandmother<00:33:29.487> died.

00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:41.000
This<00:33:32.541> happened.<00:33:32.642> I<00:33:32.743> had<00:33:32.844> a<00:33:32.945> shared<00:33:33.046> death<00:33:33.147> experience.<00:33:33.248> So<00:33:33.349> these<00:33:33.451> are<00:33:33.552> common<00:33:33.653> experiences,<00:33:33.754> regardless<00:33:33.855> of<00:33:33.956> your<00:33:34.057> political<00:33:34.158> persuasions,<00:33:34.259> your<00:33:34.360> color,

00:33:41.000 --> 00:33:47.640
your<00:33:41.160> race,<00:33:41.320> your<00:33:41.480> religion,<00:33:41.640> et<00:33:41.800> cetera.<00:33:41.960> In<00:33:42.120> some<00:33:42.280> ways,<00:33:42.440> it's<00:33:42.600> a<00:33:42.760> great<00:33:42.920> galvanizer,<00:33:43.080> isn't<00:33:43.240> it?

00:33:47.640 --> 00:33:53.080
Yeah,<00:33:47.848> it<00:33:48.056> is.<00:33:48.264> It<00:33:48.472> is<00:33:48.680> because<00:33:48.888> it's<00:33:49.096> non-political,<00:33:49.304> for<00:33:49.512> one<00:33:49.720> thing.

00:33:53.080 --> 00:33:59.000
Although<00:33:53.081> people<00:33:53.082> can<00:33:53.083> make<00:33:53.084> anything<00:33:53.085> out<00:33:53.086> of<00:33:53.087> politics<00:33:53.088> or<00:33:53.089> make<00:33:53.090> politics<00:33:53.091> out<00:33:53.092> of<00:33:53.093> anything.

00:33:59.000 --> 00:34:02.120
But<00:33:59.001> for<00:33:59.002> the<00:33:59.003> most<00:33:59.004> part,<00:33:59.005> it's<00:33:59.006> not<00:33:59.007> political.

00:34:02.120 --> 00:34:06.520
Another<00:34:02.121> thing<00:34:02.122> is<00:34:02.123> it<00:34:02.124> goes<00:34:02.125> right<00:34:02.126> to<00:34:02.127> the<00:34:02.128> heart<00:34:02.129> of<00:34:02.130> spirituality.

00:34:06.520 --> 00:34:12.440
And<00:34:06.521> a<00:34:06.522> lot<00:34:06.523> of<00:34:06.524> people<00:34:06.525> can't<00:34:06.526> kick<00:34:06.527> back<00:34:06.528> against<00:34:06.529> that<00:34:06.530> or<00:34:06.531> don't.

00:34:12.440 --> 00:34:19.080
Yeah.<00:34:12.441> And<00:34:12.442> I<00:34:12.443> would<00:34:12.444> like<00:34:12.445> to<00:34:12.446> think,<00:34:12.447> again,<00:34:12.448> in<00:34:12.449> a<00:34:12.450> polarized<00:34:12.451> age,<00:34:12.452> and<00:34:12.453> we<00:34:12.454> find<00:34:12.455> that<00:34:12.456> a<00:34:12.457> lot<00:34:12.458> of

00:34:19.080 --> 00:34:21.616
young<00:34:19.081> people<00:34:19.082> are<00:34:19.083> stepping<00:34:19.084> away<00:34:19.085> from<00:34:19.086> churches

00:34:21.616 --> 00:34:27.596
and<00:34:21.802> mosques<00:34:21.989> and<00:34:22.175> synagogues,<00:34:22.362> and<00:34:22.548> the<00:34:22.735> largest<00:34:22.921> religious<00:34:23.108> group<00:34:23.294> now<00:34:23.481> are<00:34:23.667> the<00:34:23.854> Nones,<00:34:24.040> N-O-N-E-S,

consciousness<00:34:30.921> is<00:34:30.922> giving<00:34:30.923> them<00:34:30.924> something<00:34:30.925> to

00:34:34.051 --> 00:34:37.480
sink<00:34:34.052> their<00:34:34.053> teeth<00:34:34.054> into,<00:34:34.055> something<00:34:34.056> that<00:34:34.057> is<00:34:34.058> real,

00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:43.320
something<00:34:37.481> that<00:34:37.482> speaks<00:34:37.483> to<00:34:37.484> their<00:34:37.485> sacred<00:34:37.486> curiosity<00:34:37.487> or<00:34:37.488> curiosity<00:34:37.489> of<00:34:37.490> the<00:34:37.491> sacred.

00:34:43.320 --> 00:34:48.760
What<00:34:43.379> does<00:34:43.438> this<00:34:43.497> do?<00:34:43.556> What<00:34:43.615> does<00:34:43.674> the<00:34:43.733> study<00:34:43.792> and<00:34:43.851> the<00:34:43.909> work<00:34:43.968> and<00:34:44.027> the<00:34:44.086> writing<00:34:44.145> that<00:34:44.204> you<00:34:44.263> guys<00:34:44.322> have<00:34:44.381> been<00:34:44.440> involved

00:34:48.760 --> 00:34:54.440
and<00:34:48.761> right<00:34:48.762> now<00:34:48.763> are<00:34:48.764> involved<00:34:48.765> in<00:34:48.766> with<00:34:48.767> the<00:34:48.768> new<00:34:48.769> book,<00:34:48.770> again,<00:34:48.771> Proof<00:34:48.772> of<00:34:48.773> Life<00:34:48.774> After<00:34:48.775> Life,

00:34:54.440 --> 00:35:00.600
what<00:34:54.549> does<00:34:54.657> that<00:34:54.766> say<00:34:54.874> to<00:34:54.983> millennials?<00:34:55.091> What<00:34:55.200> does<00:34:55.309> it<00:34:55.417> say<00:34:55.526> to<00:34:55.634> people<00:34:55.743> of<00:34:55.851> Generation<00:34:55.960> Z?

00:35:00.600 --> 00:35:03.296
That<00:35:00.601> generation,<00:35:00.602> those<00:35:00.603> young<00:35:00.604> folks<00:35:00.605> are<00:35:00.606> coming

00:35:03.296 --> 00:35:06.440
up,<00:35:03.297> see,<00:35:03.298> they<00:35:03.299> don't<00:35:03.300> know<00:35:03.301> about<00:35:03.302> this<00:35:03.303> yet.

00:35:06.440 --> 00:35:09.160
And<00:35:06.441> this<00:35:06.442> is<00:35:06.443> a<00:35:06.444> cyclic<00:35:06.445> phenomenon.

00:35:09.160 --> 00:35:12.200
Every<00:35:09.161> few<00:35:09.162> years,<00:35:09.163> some<00:35:09.164> new<00:35:09.165> event<00:35:09.166> occurs.

00:35:12.200 --> 00:35:18.280
What<00:35:12.201> Paul<00:35:12.202> and<00:35:12.203> I<00:35:12.204> have<00:35:12.205> been<00:35:12.206> thinking<00:35:12.207> about<00:35:12.208> is<00:35:12.209> it<00:35:12.210> looks<00:35:12.211> to<00:35:12.212> us<00:35:12.213> like,<00:35:12.214> number<00:35:12.215> one,

00:35:18.280 --> 00:35:21.800
at<00:35:18.281> least<00:35:18.282> a<00:35:18.283> million<00:35:18.284> Americans<00:35:18.285> died<00:35:18.286> from<00:35:18.287> COVID.

00:35:21.800 --> 00:35:26.920
That<00:35:21.801> is<00:35:21.802> actually<00:35:21.803> an<00:35:21.804> understatement<00:35:21.805> because<00:35:21.806> it's<00:35:21.807> only<00:35:21.808> epidemiologically<00:35:21.809> in<00:35:21.810> retrospect

00:35:26.920 --> 00:35:29.960
that<00:35:26.921> they<00:35:26.922> can<00:35:26.923> calculate<00:35:26.924> the<00:35:26.925> true<00:35:26.926> number.

00:35:29.960 --> 00:35:33.320
But<00:35:29.961> for<00:35:29.962> now,<00:35:29.963> it's<00:35:29.964> over<00:35:29.965> a<00:35:29.966> million.

00:35:33.320 --> 00:35:39.080
So<00:35:33.321> you<00:35:33.322> think<00:35:33.323> of<00:35:33.324> all<00:35:33.325> the<00:35:33.326> grief<00:35:33.327> out<00:35:33.328> there,<00:35:33.329> and<00:35:33.330> then<00:35:33.331> you<00:35:33.332> think<00:35:33.333> of<00:35:33.334> so<00:35:33.335> many<00:35:33.336> people<00:35:33.337> now

00:35:39.080 --> 00:35:43.400
getting<00:35:39.081> into<00:35:39.082> the<00:35:39.083> midlife<00:35:39.084> period<00:35:39.085> where<00:35:39.086> it's<00:35:39.087> just<00:35:39.088> natural.

00:35:43.400 --> 00:35:46.859
Plato<00:35:43.401> pointed<00:35:43.402> out<00:35:43.403> that<00:35:43.404> when<00:35:43.405> people,<00:35:43.406> particularly

00:35:46.859 --> 00:35:49.960
Successful<00:35:46.860> people,<00:35:46.861> get<00:35:46.862> a<00:35:46.863> certain<00:35:46.864> age

00:35:49.960 --> 00:35:54.520
and<00:35:49.961> they've<00:35:49.962> spent<00:35:49.963> their<00:35:49.964> whole<00:35:49.965> life<00:35:49.966> connected<00:35:49.967> to<00:35:49.968> their<00:35:49.969> business<00:35:49.970> or<00:35:49.971> their<00:35:49.972> work,

00:35:54.520 --> 00:36:02.840
it's<00:35:54.521> 50,<00:35:54.522> 60,<00:35:54.523> 70,<00:35:54.524> people<00:35:54.525> suddenly<00:35:54.526> start,<00:35:54.527> as<00:35:54.528> Plato<00:35:54.529> described<00:35:54.530> one<00:35:54.531> of<00:35:54.532> his

00:36:02.840 --> 00:36:08.280
people<00:36:02.841> he<00:36:02.842> was<00:36:02.843> talking<00:36:02.844> about<00:36:02.845> saying<00:36:02.846> that<00:36:02.847> Socrates,<00:36:02.848> you<00:36:02.849> know,<00:36:02.850> it's<00:36:02.851> like<00:36:02.852> when

00:36:08.280 --> 00:36:12.520
I've<00:36:08.281> done<00:36:08.282> my<00:36:08.283> business<00:36:08.284> very<00:36:08.285> well,<00:36:08.286> I've<00:36:08.287> been<00:36:08.288> preoccupied<00:36:08.289> by<00:36:08.290> my<00:36:08.291> business<00:36:08.292> and<00:36:08.293> all<00:36:08.294> that,

00:36:12.520 --> 00:36:17.080
but<00:36:12.521> now<00:36:12.522> I'm<00:36:12.523> this<00:36:12.524> age,<00:36:12.525> I<00:36:12.526> suddenly<00:36:12.527> remember<00:36:12.528> all<00:36:12.529> those<00:36:12.530> stories<00:36:12.531> I<00:36:12.532> heard<00:36:12.533> about<00:36:12.534> the

00:36:17.080 --> 00:36:22.520
afterlife<00:36:17.081> when<00:36:17.082> I<00:36:17.083> was<00:36:17.084> a<00:36:17.085> kid<00:36:17.086> and<00:36:17.087> I<00:36:17.088> develop<00:36:17.089> a<00:36:17.090> sense<00:36:17.091> of<00:36:17.092> urgency.

00:36:22.520 --> 00:36:26.920
I<00:36:22.521> heard<00:36:22.522> that<00:36:22.523> constantly<00:36:22.524> in<00:36:22.525> my<00:36:22.526> psychiatry.

00:36:26.920 --> 00:36:29.480
It's<00:36:26.921> like<00:36:26.922> just<00:36:26.923> like<00:36:26.924> clockwork.

00:36:29.480 --> 00:36:32.790
And,<00:36:29.481> you<00:36:29.482> know,<00:36:29.483> people<00:36:29.484> get<00:36:29.485> to<00:36:29.486> a<00:36:29.487> certain<00:36:29.488> age<00:36:29.489> and

00:36:32.790 --> 00:36:35.960
life<00:36:32.791> after<00:36:32.792> death<00:36:32.793> is<00:36:32.794> a<00:36:32.795> developmental<00:36:32.796> question.

00:36:35.960 --> 00:36:39.080
It<00:36:35.961> comes<00:36:35.962> on<00:36:35.963> at<00:36:35.964> certain<00:36:35.965> periods<00:36:35.966> of<00:36:35.967> life<00:36:35.968> development.

00:36:39.080 --> 00:36:44.360
One<00:36:39.081> is<00:36:39.082> when<00:36:39.083> you<00:36:39.084> lose<00:36:39.085> a<00:36:39.086> loved<00:36:39.087> one<00:36:39.088> to<00:36:39.089> death,<00:36:39.090> or<00:36:39.091> when<00:36:39.092> you're<00:36:39.093> facing<00:36:39.094> death<00:36:39.095> yourself,

00:36:44.360 --> 00:36:49.240
or<00:36:44.361> perhaps<00:36:44.362> the<00:36:44.363> most<00:36:44.364> common<00:36:44.365> one<00:36:44.366> is<00:36:44.367> older<00:36:44.368> people.

00:36:49.240 --> 00:36:57.400
When<00:36:49.241> they<00:36:49.242> get<00:36:49.243> to<00:36:49.244> a<00:36:49.245> certain<00:36:49.246> age,<00:36:49.247> they<00:36:49.248> start<00:36:49.249> naturally<00:36:49.250> being<00:36:49.251> curious<00:36:49.252> about<00:36:49.253> this.

00:36:57.400 --> 00:37:01.080
That's<00:36:57.401> true,<00:36:57.402> although<00:36:57.403> it's<00:36:57.404> funny.

00:37:01.080 --> 00:37:06.040
I'll<00:37:01.081> still<00:37:01.082> get<00:37:01.083> some<00:37:01.084> pushback<00:37:01.085> as<00:37:01.086> well<00:37:01.087> from<00:37:01.088> people<00:37:01.089> who<00:37:01.090> are<00:37:01.091> even<00:37:01.092> in<00:37:01.093> their<00:37:01.094> 70s.

00:37:06.040 --> 00:37:11.160
They'll<00:37:06.246> ask<00:37:06.451> me<00:37:06.657> what<00:37:06.863> I'm<00:37:07.069> up<00:37:07.274> to<00:37:07.480> and,<00:37:07.686> you<00:37:07.891> know,<00:37:08.097> I<00:37:08.303> tell<00:37:08.509> them<00:37:08.714> it's<00:37:08.920> easier<00:37:09.126> to<00:37:09.331> tell<00:37:09.537> them<00:37:09.743> you're<00:37:09.949> involved<00:37:10.154> in<00:37:10.360> law.

00:37:11.160 --> 00:37:15.320
That's<00:37:11.347> simple,<00:37:11.533> right?<00:37:11.720> When<00:37:11.907> you<00:37:12.093> start<00:37:12.280> talking<00:37:12.467> about<00:37:12.653> near-death<00:37:12.840> experiences.

00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:18.200
I<00:37:15.321> actually<00:37:15.322> had<00:37:15.323> one<00:37:15.324> friend<00:37:15.325> of<00:37:15.326> mine<00:37:15.327> who's<00:37:15.328> an<00:37:15.329> atheist<00:37:15.330> who<00:37:15.331> said,

00:37:18.200 --> 00:37:21.800
Are<00:37:18.323> you<00:37:18.445> trying<00:37:18.568> to<00:37:18.691> turn<00:37:18.813> me<00:37:18.936> into<00:37:19.059> a<00:37:19.181> believer?<00:37:19.304> And<00:37:19.427> I'm<00:37:19.549> not<00:37:19.672> here<00:37:19.795> to<00:37:19.917> sell<00:37:20.040> anything.

00:37:21.800 --> 00:37:28.920
Raymond,<00:37:21.931> neither<00:37:22.061> are<00:37:22.192> you<00:37:22.322> and<00:37:22.453> Paul.<00:37:22.583> But<00:37:22.714> again,<00:37:22.844> it's<00:37:22.975> our<00:37:23.105> curiosity<00:37:23.236> and<00:37:23.366> it's<00:37:23.497> our<00:37:23.627> willingness<00:37:23.758> to<00:37:23.888> share<00:37:24.019> some<00:37:24.149> stories,<00:37:24.280> right?

00:37:28.920 --> 00:37:33.320
I<00:37:28.921> have<00:37:28.922> no<00:37:28.923> interest<00:37:28.924> in<00:37:28.925> trying<00:37:28.926> to<00:37:28.927> persuade<00:37:28.928> anybody<00:37:28.929> else<00:37:28.930> that<00:37:28.931> there's<00:37:28.932> an<00:37:28.933> afterlife.

00:37:33.320 --> 00:37:38.440
People<00:37:33.321> have<00:37:33.322> to<00:37:33.323> go<00:37:33.324> through<00:37:33.325> their<00:37:33.326> own<00:37:33.327> process<00:37:33.328> on<00:37:33.329> that.

00:37:38.440 --> 00:37:41.640
But<00:37:38.441> in<00:37:38.442> terms<00:37:38.443> of<00:37:38.444> where<00:37:38.445> I<00:37:38.446> am,<00:37:38.447> I<00:37:38.448> give<00:37:38.449> up.

00:37:41.640 --> 00:37:49.080
I<00:37:41.641> just,<00:37:41.642> you<00:37:41.643> know,<00:37:41.644> I<00:37:41.645> have<00:37:41.646> a<00:37:41.647> good<00:37:41.648> friend<00:37:41.649> whose<00:37:41.650> name<00:37:41.651> is<00:37:41.652> Anthony<00:37:41.653> Cicoria,<00:37:41.654> Christopher.

00:37:49.080 --> 00:37:55.240
Anthony<00:37:49.081> has<00:37:49.082> a<00:37:49.083> PhD<00:37:49.084> in<00:37:49.085> physiology<00:37:49.086> and<00:37:49.087> an<00:37:49.088> MD<00:37:49.089> and<00:37:49.090> he's<00:37:49.091> an<00:37:49.092> orthopedic<00:37:49.093> surgeon

00:37:59.960 --> 00:38:03.160
And<00:37:59.961> I<00:37:59.962> am<00:37:59.963> a<00:37:59.964> fanatical<00:37:59.965> walker.

00:38:03.160 --> 00:38:12.360
I<00:38:03.297> have<00:38:03.434> to<00:38:03.571> do<00:38:03.709> it.<00:38:03.846> It's<00:38:03.983> an<00:38:04.120> addiction.<00:38:04.257> And<00:38:04.394> I<00:38:04.531> ask<00:38:04.669> myself,<00:38:04.806> if<00:38:04.943> heaven<00:38:05.080> forbid<00:38:05.217> something<00:38:05.354> were<00:38:05.491> to<00:38:05.629> happen<00:38:05.766> to<00:38:05.903> my<00:38:06.040> foot,

00:38:15.400 --> 00:38:20.840
Sure.<00:38:15.686> Okay.<00:38:15.971> Now,<00:38:16.257> here's<00:38:16.543> another<00:38:16.829> fact<00:38:17.114> about<00:38:17.400> Anthony.

00:38:20.840 --> 00:38:27.880
In<00:38:20.841> 1994,<00:38:20.842> Anthony<00:38:20.843> was<00:38:20.844> hit<00:38:20.845> in<00:38:20.846> the<00:38:20.847> neck<00:38:20.848> by<00:38:20.849> a<00:38:20.850> bolt<00:38:20.851> of<00:38:20.852> lightning,<00:38:20.853> had<00:38:20.854> a<00:38:20.855> cardiac<00:38:20.856> arrest,

00:38:27.880 --> 00:38:31.480
was<00:38:27.881> resuscitated<00:38:27.882> by<00:38:27.883> a<00:38:27.884> nurse<00:38:27.885> on<00:38:27.886> the<00:38:27.887> scene.

00:38:31.480 --> 00:38:36.600
But<00:38:31.481> from<00:38:31.482> his<00:38:31.483> point<00:38:31.484> of<00:38:31.485> view<00:38:31.486> was<00:38:31.487> out<00:38:31.488> of<00:38:31.489> his<00:38:31.490> body,<00:38:31.491> going<00:38:31.492> all<00:38:31.493> around<00:38:31.494> this<00:38:31.495> resort<00:38:31.496> center

00:38:36.600 --> 00:38:41.880
where<00:38:36.770> his<00:38:36.940> family<00:38:37.110> was<00:38:37.281> having<00:38:37.451> a<00:38:37.621> family<00:38:37.791> reunion,<00:38:37.961> saw<00:38:38.131> people<00:38:38.301> and<00:38:38.472> what<00:38:38.642> they<00:38:38.812> were<00:38:38.982> doing,

00:38:41.880 --> 00:38:44.993
said,<00:38:41.881> not<00:38:41.882> only<00:38:41.883> Raymond<00:38:41.884> was<00:38:41.885> this<00:38:41.886> real,<00:38:41.887> he<00:38:41.888> said,

00:38:44.993 --> 00:38:48.040
but<00:38:44.994> it<00:38:44.995> was<00:38:44.996> more<00:38:44.997> real<00:38:44.998> than<00:38:44.999> this<00:38:45.000> thing<00:38:45.001> we're<00:38:45.002> in.

00:38:48.040 --> 00:38:56.040
That's<00:38:48.180> what<00:38:48.320> people<00:38:48.460> say.<00:38:48.600> Now,<00:38:48.740> after<00:38:48.880> this,<00:38:49.020> Anthony,<00:38:49.160> who<00:38:49.300> had<00:38:49.440> never<00:38:49.580> had<00:38:49.720> any<00:38:49.860> interest<00:38:50.000> in<00:38:50.140> music<00:38:50.280> whatsoever,

in<00:39:01.801> which<00:39:01.802> he's<00:39:01.803> playing<00:39:01.804> the<00:39:01.805> same<00:39:01.806> piece<00:39:01.807> on<00:39:01.808> a

00:39:07.880 --> 00:39:13.240
learned<00:39:08.040> how<00:39:08.200> to<00:39:08.360> play<00:39:08.520> the<00:39:08.680> piano.<00:39:08.840> And<00:39:09.000> now,<00:39:09.160> in<00:39:09.320> addition<00:39:09.480> to<00:39:09.640> being<00:39:09.800> an<00:39:09.960> eminent

00:39:13.240 --> 00:39:17.640
orthopedic<00:39:13.241> surgeon,<00:39:13.242> is<00:39:13.243> also<00:39:13.244> a<00:39:13.245> concert<00:39:13.246> pianist.

00:39:17.640 --> 00:39:24.360
Things<00:39:17.641> like<00:39:17.642> that<00:39:17.643> just<00:39:17.644> don't<00:39:17.645> fit<00:39:17.646> into<00:39:17.647> this<00:39:17.648> common<00:39:17.649> sense<00:39:17.650> system<00:39:17.651> we<00:39:17.652> have<00:39:17.653> in<00:39:17.654> the<00:39:17.655> world.

00:39:24.360 --> 00:39:26.920
That<00:39:24.361> is<00:39:24.362> the<00:39:24.363> reality.

00:39:26.920 --> 00:39:31.960
And<00:39:26.921> I<00:39:26.922> could<00:39:26.923> sit<00:39:26.924> here<00:39:26.925> and<00:39:26.926> list<00:39:26.927> a<00:39:26.928> dozen<00:39:26.929> other<00:39:26.930> medical<00:39:26.931> colleagues<00:39:26.932> of<00:39:26.933> mine.

00:39:31.960 --> 00:39:35.745
Eben<00:39:31.961> and<00:39:31.962> all<00:39:31.963> of<00:39:31.964> these<00:39:31.965> medical<00:39:31.966> people<00:39:31.967> I<00:39:31.968> know

00:39:35.745 --> 00:39:39.960
who've<00:39:35.746> had<00:39:35.747> these<00:39:35.748> experiences<00:39:35.749> are<00:39:35.750> absolutely<00:39:35.751> sure,

00:39:39.960 --> 00:39:47.880
yeah,<00:39:40.088> this<00:39:40.216> was<00:39:40.344> real.<00:39:40.472> How<00:39:40.600> can<00:39:40.728> I<00:39:40.856> deny<00:39:40.984> their<00:39:41.112> unanimous<00:39:41.240> judgment<00:39:41.368> that<00:39:41.496> their<00:39:41.624> experience<00:39:41.752> was<00:39:41.880> real?

00:39:47.880 --> 00:39:52.231
And<00:39:47.881> still,<00:39:47.882> yet,<00:39:47.883> I<00:39:47.884> would<00:39:47.885> turn<00:39:47.886> myself<00:39:47.887> over<00:39:47.888> to

00:39:52.231 --> 00:39:56.680
them<00:39:52.232> for<00:39:52.233> medical<00:39:52.234> treatment<00:39:52.235> if,<00:39:52.236> heaven<00:39:52.237> forbid,

00:39:56.680 --> 00:40:01.320
I<00:39:56.681> had<00:39:56.682> an<00:39:56.683> illness.

00:40:01.320 --> 00:40:06.760
See,<00:40:01.321> the<00:40:01.322> afterlife<00:40:01.323> is<00:40:01.324> kind<00:40:01.325> of<00:40:01.326> penetrating<00:40:01.327> this<00:40:01.328> life.

00:40:06.760 --> 00:40:12.520
The<00:40:06.908> older<00:40:07.056> you<00:40:07.204> get,<00:40:07.352> you<00:40:07.500> will<00:40:07.648> see<00:40:07.796> more,<00:40:07.944> and<00:40:08.091> this<00:40:08.239> is<00:40:08.387> addressed<00:40:08.535> more<00:40:08.683> to<00:40:08.831> young<00:40:08.979> people,<00:40:09.127> right?

00:40:12.520 --> 00:40:15.480
The<00:40:12.521> older<00:40:12.522> you<00:40:12.523> get,<00:40:12.524> you're<00:40:12.525> going<00:40:12.526> to<00:40:12.527> find,<00:40:12.528> the<00:40:12.529> older<00:40:12.530> you<00:40:12.531> get,

00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:21.160
the<00:40:15.481> greater<00:40:15.482> percentage<00:40:15.483> of<00:40:15.484> your<00:40:15.485> friends<00:40:15.486> your<00:40:15.487> age<00:40:15.488> have<00:40:15.489> had<00:40:15.490> some<00:40:15.491> sort<00:40:15.492> of<00:40:15.493> experience

00:40:21.160 --> 00:40:27.640
of<00:40:21.161> stepping<00:40:21.162> over<00:40:21.163> to<00:40:21.164> some<00:40:21.165> other<00:40:21.166> sphere<00:40:21.167> of<00:40:21.168> existence.

00:40:27.640 --> 00:40:32.040
And<00:40:27.641> it's<00:40:27.642> gotten<00:40:27.643> to<00:40:27.644> where<00:40:27.645> there's<00:40:27.646> lots<00:40:27.647> of<00:40:27.648> people<00:40:27.649> who<00:40:27.650> can<00:40:27.651> talk<00:40:27.652> about<00:40:27.653> this<00:40:27.654> subject,

00:40:32.040 --> 00:40:39.560
just<00:40:32.154> like,<00:40:32.269> oh,<00:40:32.383> yeah,<00:40:32.497> I've<00:40:32.611> been<00:40:32.726> there.<00:40:32.840> So<00:40:32.954> there<00:40:33.069> is<00:40:33.183> a<00:40:33.297> collective<00:40:33.411> way<00:40:33.526> that<00:40:33.640> people<00:40:33.754> who've<00:40:33.869> been<00:40:33.983> there<00:40:34.097> can<00:40:34.211> talk<00:40:34.326> about<00:40:34.440> it.

00:40:39.560 --> 00:40:46.360
So<00:40:39.561> what<00:40:39.562> that<00:40:39.563> means<00:40:39.564> to<00:40:39.565> me<00:40:39.566> simply<00:40:39.567> is<00:40:39.568> that<00:40:39.569> the<00:40:39.570> awareness<00:40:39.571> of<00:40:39.572> this<00:40:39.573> other<00:40:39.574> sphere<00:40:39.575> of<00:40:39.576> existence

00:40:46.360 --> 00:40:51.480
is<00:40:46.361> kind<00:40:46.362> of<00:40:46.363> sinking<00:40:46.364> into<00:40:46.365> this<00:40:46.366> world<00:40:46.367> we're<00:40:46.368> in.

00:40:51.480 --> 00:40:56.680
And<00:40:51.481> what<00:40:51.482> we're<00:40:51.483> relying<00:40:51.484> upon<00:40:51.485> is<00:40:51.486> quite<00:40:51.487> a<00:40:51.488> bit<00:40:51.489> of<00:40:51.490> science.

00:40:56.680 --> 00:41:02.280
I<00:40:56.681> mean,<00:40:56.682> this<00:40:56.683> is<00:40:56.684> a<00:40:56.685> book<00:40:56.686> that<00:40:56.687> has<00:40:56.688> a<00:40:56.689> scientific<00:40:56.690> basis,

00:41:02.280 --> 00:41:08.920
and<00:41:02.281> we've<00:41:02.282> been<00:41:02.283> able<00:41:02.284> to<00:41:02.285> meld<00:41:02.286> science<00:41:02.287> and<00:41:02.288> spirituality<00:41:02.289> together<00:41:02.290> through<00:41:02.291> this,

00:41:08.920 --> 00:41:12.040
which,<00:41:08.921> again,<00:41:08.922> is<00:41:08.923> something<00:41:08.924> that's<00:41:08.925> greatly<00:41:08.926> needed.

00:41:12.040 --> 00:41:16.280
People<00:41:12.041> have<00:41:12.042> problems<00:41:12.043> with<00:41:12.044> religion<00:41:12.045> for<00:41:12.046> a<00:41:12.047> variety<00:41:12.048> of<00:41:12.049> reasons,

00:41:16.280 --> 00:41:21.080
but<00:41:16.281> they<00:41:16.282> have,<00:41:16.283> I<00:41:16.284> think,<00:41:16.285> less<00:41:16.286> problems<00:41:16.287> with<00:41:16.288> science<00:41:16.289> than<00:41:16.290> they<00:41:16.291> do<00:41:16.292> with<00:41:16.293> religion,

00:41:21.080 --> 00:41:25.960
because<00:41:21.081> people<00:41:21.082> have<00:41:21.083> come<00:41:21.084> to<00:41:21.085> accept<00:41:21.086> that<00:41:21.087> science<00:41:21.088> is

00:41:25.960 --> 00:41:28.520
the<00:41:25.961> exploration,<00:41:25.962> sometimes,<00:41:25.963> of<00:41:25.964> the<00:41:25.965> mystical.

00:41:28.520 --> 00:41:31.240
And<00:41:28.521> that's<00:41:28.522> what<00:41:28.523> we've<00:41:28.524> done<00:41:28.525> here<00:41:28.526> with<00:41:28.527> this<00:41:28.528> book.

00:41:31.240 --> 00:41:38.120
Well,<00:41:31.367> true<00:41:31.493> scientists<00:41:31.620> are.<00:41:31.747> I<00:41:31.873> mean,<00:41:32.000> again,<00:41:32.127> it<00:41:32.253> should<00:41:32.380> be<00:41:32.507> an<00:41:32.633> open-minded<00:41:32.760> inquiry.

00:41:38.120 --> 00:41:44.520
As<00:41:38.121> to<00:41:38.122> the<00:41:38.123> nature<00:41:38.124> of<00:41:38.125> life,<00:41:38.126> unfortunately,<00:41:38.127> as<00:41:38.128> you<00:41:38.129> gentlemen<00:41:38.130> have<00:41:38.131> seen<00:41:38.132> over<00:41:38.133> the<00:41:38.134> years,

00:41:44.520 --> 00:41:48.200
some<00:41:44.727> people<00:41:44.933> are<00:41:45.140> wed<00:41:45.347> to<00:41:45.553> their<00:41:45.760> scientific<00:41:45.967> materialism.<00:41:46.173> They're<00:41:46.380> wed<00:41:46.587> to<00:41:46.793> their<00:41:47.000> job.

00:41:48.200 --> 00:41:52.440
They're<00:41:48.201> wed<00:41:48.202> to<00:41:48.203> having<00:41:48.204> tenure,<00:41:48.205> et<00:41:48.206> cetera.

00:41:52.440 --> 00:42:00.440
So<00:41:52.538> maybe<00:41:52.636> those<00:41:52.735> folks<00:41:52.833> can<00:41:52.931> break<00:41:53.029> out<00:41:53.127> of<00:41:53.225> it.<00:41:53.324> But<00:41:53.422> I<00:41:53.520> would<00:41:53.618> agree<00:41:53.716> with<00:41:53.815> you,<00:41:53.913> Paul,<00:41:54.011> that<00:41:54.109> we're<00:41:54.207> starting<00:41:54.305> to<00:41:54.404> see<00:41:54.502> at<00:41:54.600> least

00:42:00.440 --> 00:42:03.880
if<00:42:00.441> we<00:42:00.442> could<00:42:00.443> look<00:42:00.444> at<00:42:00.445> the<00:42:00.446> data<00:42:00.447> and<00:42:00.448> look<00:42:00.449> at<00:42:00.450> the<00:42:00.451> analysis<00:42:00.452> and<00:42:00.453> look<00:42:00.454> at<00:42:00.455> the<00:42:00.456> research,

00:42:03.880 --> 00:42:08.760
like<00:42:03.881> the<00:42:03.882> work<00:42:03.883> they're<00:42:03.884> doing<00:42:03.885> at<00:42:03.886> IONS,<00:42:03.887> the<00:42:03.888> Institute<00:42:03.889> of<00:42:03.890> Noetic<00:42:03.891> Sciences,

00:42:08.760 --> 00:42:13.480
and<00:42:08.890> again,<00:42:09.020> some<00:42:09.150> people<00:42:09.280> may<00:42:09.410> argue<00:42:09.540> that's<00:42:09.670> not<00:42:09.800> all<00:42:09.930> science.<00:42:10.060> So<00:42:10.190> Dean<00:42:10.320> Radin<00:42:10.450> would<00:42:10.580> disagree<00:42:10.710> with<00:42:10.840> you,

00:42:13.480 --> 00:42:18.120
that<00:42:13.481> they're<00:42:13.482> really<00:42:13.483> putting<00:42:13.484> bones<00:42:13.485> to<00:42:13.486> something<00:42:13.487> that<00:42:13.488> appears<00:42:13.489> to<00:42:13.490> be<00:42:13.491> gelatinous,

00:42:18.120 --> 00:42:20.680
but<00:42:18.121> actually<00:42:18.122> has<00:42:18.123> some<00:42:18.124> body<00:42:18.125> to<00:42:18.126> it.

00:42:20.680 --> 00:42:24.280
And<00:42:20.681> that's<00:42:20.682> what<00:42:20.683> you<00:42:20.684> gentlemen<00:42:20.685> have<00:42:20.686> done<00:42:20.687> as<00:42:20.688> well.

00:42:24.280 --> 00:42:27.000
I<00:42:24.281> see<00:42:24.282> it<00:42:24.283> as<00:42:24.284> maybe<00:42:24.285> the<00:42:24.286> end<00:42:24.287> of<00:42:24.288> fundamentalism,

00:43:21.480 --> 00:43:25.640

00:43:30.840 --> 00:43:35.400
There's<00:43:30.841> a<00:43:30.842> basis,<00:43:30.843> in<00:43:30.844> fact,<00:43:30.845> that<00:43:30.846> near-death<00:43:30.847> experiences

Raymond,<00:45:22.242> you<00:45:22.444> first.<00:45:22.646> I<00:45:22.848> think<00:45:23.051> this<00:45:23.253> is<00:45:23.455> probably<00:45:23.657> the<00:45:23.859> part<00:45:24.061> of<00:45:24.263> the<00:45:24.465> near-death<00:45:24.667> experience<00:45:24.869> that<00:45:25.072> has<00:45:25.274> most<00:45:25.476> impact<00:45:25.678> on<00:45:25.880> people.

00:45:29.720 --> 00:45:33.560
I<00:45:29.721> mean,<00:45:29.722> it's<00:45:29.723> basically<00:45:29.724> what<00:45:29.725> time<00:45:29.726> stands<00:45:29.727> still,

00:45:33.560 --> 00:45:39.560
and<00:45:33.745> a<00:45:33.929> panorama<00:45:34.114> appears<00:45:34.298> around<00:45:34.483> them<00:45:34.668> consisting<00:45:34.852> of<00:45:35.037> everything<00:45:35.222> they've<00:45:35.406> ever<00:45:35.591> thought<00:45:35.775> or<00:45:35.960> done,

00:45:39.560 --> 00:45:42.920
and<00:45:39.561> they<00:45:39.562> often<00:45:39.563> review<00:45:39.564> it<00:45:39.565> in<00:45:39.566> the<00:45:39.567> presence

00:45:42.920 --> 00:45:46.520
of<00:45:42.921> a<00:45:42.922> being<00:45:42.923> of<00:45:42.924> absolute<00:45:42.925> compassion

00:45:46.520 --> 00:45:51.000
in<00:45:46.521> the<00:45:46.522> form<00:45:46.523> of<00:45:46.524> a<00:45:46.525> light<00:45:46.526> who<00:45:46.527> sort<00:45:46.528> of<00:45:46.529> helps<00:45:46.530> you<00:45:46.531> through<00:45:46.532> it.

00:45:51.000 --> 00:45:56.200
And,<00:45:51.001> you<00:45:51.002> know,<00:45:51.003> it's<00:45:51.004> difficult<00:45:51.005> now

00:45:56.200 --> 00:46:04.040
to<00:45:56.360> make<00:45:56.520> the<00:45:56.680> logical<00:45:56.840> inference.<00:45:57.000> I<00:45:57.160> think<00:45:57.320> that<00:45:57.480> we<00:45:57.640> will<00:45:57.800> soon<00:45:57.960> be<00:45:58.120> able<00:45:58.280> to<00:45:58.440> make<00:45:58.600> a<00:45:58.760> logical<00:45:58.920> inference<00:45:59.080> that<00:45:59.240> there<00:45:59.400> is<00:45:59.560> an<00:45:59.720> afterlife.

00:46:04.040 --> 00:46:09.400
I<00:46:04.041> can<00:46:04.042> see<00:46:04.043> how<00:46:04.044> it's<00:46:04.045> coming,<00:46:04.046> but<00:46:04.047> not<00:46:04.048> yet.

00:46:09.400 --> 00:46:15.160
But<00:46:09.401> I<00:46:09.402> think<00:46:09.403> that<00:46:09.404> there<00:46:09.405> is<00:46:09.406> an<00:46:09.407> airtight<00:46:09.408> inference

00:46:15.160 --> 00:46:19.320
that<00:46:15.161> we<00:46:15.162> can<00:46:15.163> make<00:46:15.164> about<00:46:15.165> these<00:46:15.166> life<00:46:15.167> reviews

00:46:19.320 --> 00:46:23.560
that<00:46:19.321> nobody,<00:46:19.322> I<00:46:19.323> can't<00:46:19.324> see<00:46:19.325> how<00:46:19.326> anybody<00:46:19.327> could<00:46:19.328> quarrel<00:46:19.329> with<00:46:19.330> this.

00:46:23.560 --> 00:46:26.520
And<00:46:23.561> it's<00:46:23.562> startling.

00:46:26.520 --> 00:46:31.160
And<00:46:26.521> it<00:46:26.522> is<00:46:26.523> that,<00:46:26.524> at<00:46:26.525> least<00:46:26.526> for<00:46:26.527> some<00:46:26.528> of<00:46:26.529> us,

00:46:31.160 --> 00:46:35.400
life<00:46:31.161> is<00:46:31.162> a<00:46:31.163> two-phase<00:46:31.164> process.

00:46:35.400 --> 00:46:40.440
First,<00:46:35.401> you<00:46:35.402> live<00:46:35.403> it<00:46:35.404> forward<00:46:35.405> as<00:46:35.406> the<00:46:35.407> actor<00:46:35.408> or<00:46:35.409> protagonist.

00:46:40.440 --> 00:46:45.480
Then,<00:46:40.726> time<00:46:41.011> stands<00:46:41.297> still.<00:46:41.583> There's<00:46:41.869> a<00:46:42.154> 180-degree<00:46:42.440> turnaround,

00:46:45.480 --> 00:46:52.600
and<00:46:45.617> you<00:46:45.754> see<00:46:45.891> the<00:46:46.029> same<00:46:46.166> action<00:46:46.303> through<00:46:46.440> the<00:46:46.577> eyes<00:46:46.714> and<00:46:46.851> feelings<00:46:46.989> of<00:46:47.126> the<00:46:47.263> other<00:46:47.400> characters.

00:46:52.600 --> 00:46:57.160
Now,<00:46:52.601> that,<00:46:52.602> to<00:46:52.603> me,<00:46:52.604> is<00:46:52.605> indubitable.

00:46:57.160 --> 00:47:00.120
I<00:46:57.161> mean,<00:46:57.162> it<00:46:57.163> happens,<00:46:57.164> at<00:46:57.165> least<00:46:57.166> for<00:46:57.167> some<00:46:57.168> of<00:46:57.169> us.

00:47:00.120 --> 00:47:03.080
And<00:47:00.121> the<00:47:00.122> implications<00:47:00.123> of<00:47:00.124> that,<00:47:00.125> to<00:47:00.126> me,

00:47:03.080 --> 00:47:06.440
are<00:47:03.081> just<00:47:03.082> absolutely<00:47:03.083> profound.

00:47:06.440 --> 00:47:09.640
Now,<00:47:06.618> we're<00:47:06.796> all<00:47:06.973> one,<00:47:07.151> right?<00:47:07.329> You<00:47:07.507> talk<00:47:07.684> about<00:47:07.862> the<00:47:08.040> oneness.

00:47:09.640 --> 00:47:12.520
There's<00:47:10.104> an<00:47:10.568> ultimate<00:47:11.032> unity.<00:47:11.496> That's<00:47:11.960> right.

00:47:12.520 --> 00:47:16.440
It<00:47:12.940> all<00:47:13.360> connects<00:47:13.780> up.<00:47:14.200> Yep.

00:47:16.440 --> 00:47:20.200
Paul,<00:47:16.441> what<00:47:16.442> are<00:47:16.443> the<00:47:16.444> percentages<00:47:16.445> of<00:47:16.446> the<00:47:16.447> cases,<00:47:16.448> would<00:47:16.449> you<00:47:16.450> say,

00:47:20.200 --> 00:47:23.720
that<00:47:20.201> you<00:47:20.202> guys<00:47:20.203> have<00:47:20.204> studied<00:47:20.205> where<00:47:20.206> the<00:47:20.207> life<00:47:20.208> review

00:47:23.720 --> 00:47:26.760
is<00:47:23.721> part<00:47:23.722> of<00:47:23.723> the<00:47:23.724> near-death<00:47:23.725> experience,

00:47:26.760 --> 00:47:31.000
and<00:47:26.761> then<00:47:26.762> maybe<00:47:26.763> share<00:47:26.764> a<00:47:26.765> story<00:47:26.766> or<00:47:26.767> two<00:47:26.768> about<00:47:26.769> the<00:47:26.770> life<00:47:26.771> review<00:47:26.772> itself?

00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:35.000
Now,<00:47:31.001> Raymond,<00:47:31.002> I'm<00:47:31.003> going<00:47:31.004> to<00:47:31.005> say,<00:47:31.006> what<00:47:31.007> do<00:47:31.008> you<00:47:31.009> think?

00:47:35.000 --> 00:47:38.120
30%<00:47:35.001> to<00:47:35.002> 40%<00:47:35.003> of<00:47:35.004> the<00:47:35.005> people<00:47:35.006> have<00:47:35.007> a<00:47:35.008> life<00:47:35.009> review?

00:47:38.120 --> 00:47:42.280
It's<00:47:38.265> very<00:47:38.411> hard<00:47:38.556> to<00:47:38.702> say.<00:47:38.847> I<00:47:38.993> would<00:47:39.138> say<00:47:39.284> probably<00:47:39.429> in<00:47:39.575> that<00:47:39.720> range.

00:47:42.280 --> 00:47:45.400
Wow,<00:47:42.632> that<00:47:42.984> high,<00:47:43.336> that<00:47:43.688> high.<00:47:44.040> Yeah.

00:47:45.400 --> 00:47:49.960
But<00:47:45.514> it's<00:47:45.629> also<00:47:45.743> very<00:47:45.857> hard<00:47:45.971> to<00:47:46.086> say.<00:47:46.200> It<00:47:46.314> depends<00:47:46.429> on<00:47:46.543> how<00:47:46.657> you<00:47:46.771> gather<00:47:46.886> the<00:47:47.000> information.

00:47:49.960 --> 00:47:55.160
And<00:47:50.089> I<00:47:50.218> know<00:47:50.347> you,<00:47:50.476> Paul,<00:47:50.604> you<00:47:50.733> co-wrote<00:47:50.862> with<00:47:50.991> the...<00:47:51.120> Sorry,<00:47:51.249> I<00:47:51.378> know<00:47:51.507> that<00:47:51.636> you<00:47:51.764> co-wrote<00:47:51.893> with<00:47:52.022> Dannion<00:47:52.151> Brinkley,<00:47:52.280> Paul,

00:48:00.360 --> 00:48:04.440
Right.<00:48:00.477> Yeah,<00:48:00.594> it<00:48:00.711> was<00:48:00.828> pretty<00:48:00.945> amazing.<00:48:01.062> I<00:48:01.178> mean,<00:48:01.295> the<00:48:01.412> one<00:48:01.529> thing<00:48:01.646> about<00:48:01.763> life<00:48:01.880> reviews

00:48:04.440 --> 00:48:08.920
is<00:48:04.441> that<00:48:04.442> they're<00:48:04.443> like<00:48:04.444> great<00:48:04.445> psychotherapy,

00:48:08.920 --> 00:48:11.480
and<00:48:08.921> they<00:48:08.922> only<00:48:08.923> take<00:48:08.924> a<00:48:08.925> few<00:48:08.926> seconds.

00:48:11.480 --> 00:48:14.760
And<00:48:11.481> you<00:48:11.482> see<00:48:11.483> that<00:48:11.484> across<00:48:11.485> the<00:48:11.486> board.

00:48:14.760 --> 00:48:21.320
Yeah.<00:48:14.791> And<00:48:14.822> one<00:48:14.852> of<00:48:14.883> my<00:48:14.914> forensic<00:48:14.945> psychiatry<00:48:14.975> seminars<00:48:15.006> I<00:48:15.037> went<00:48:15.068> to<00:48:15.098> in<00:48:15.129> my<00:48:15.160> training,

00:48:21.320 --> 00:48:23.880
there<00:48:21.321> was<00:48:21.322> this<00:48:21.323> guy,<00:48:21.324> I<00:48:21.325> think<00:48:21.326> he<00:48:21.327> was<00:48:21.328> from<00:48:21.329> the

00:48:23.880 --> 00:48:26.920

who<00:48:26.921> at<00:48:26.922> that<00:48:26.923> time<00:48:26.924> was<00:48:26.925> the<00:48:26.926> expert<00:48:26.927> on<00:48:26.928> sociopaths.

00:48:31.240 --> 00:48:36.520
And<00:48:31.241> he<00:48:31.242> said<00:48:31.243> that<00:48:31.244> he<00:48:31.245> felt<00:48:31.246> the<00:48:31.247> only<00:48:31.248> thing<00:48:31.249> that<00:48:31.250> would<00:48:31.251> cure<00:48:31.252> a<00:48:31.253> sociopath<00:48:31.254> was

00:48:36.520 --> 00:48:40.520
that<00:48:36.521> if<00:48:36.522> they<00:48:36.523> saw<00:48:36.524> everything<00:48:36.525> they<00:48:36.526> had<00:48:36.527> ever<00:48:36.528> done<00:48:36.529> in<00:48:36.530> their<00:48:36.531> lives,

00:48:40.520 --> 00:48:44.760
directly<00:48:40.521> from<00:48:40.522> the<00:48:40.523> point<00:48:40.524> of<00:48:40.525> view<00:48:40.526> of<00:48:40.527> another<00:48:40.528> person,

00:48:44.760 --> 00:48:48.840
that<00:48:44.942> the<00:48:45.124> people<00:48:45.305> with<00:48:45.487> whom<00:48:45.669> they...<00:48:45.851> He<00:48:46.033> said<00:48:46.215> that<00:48:46.396> would<00:48:46.578> be<00:48:46.760> curative.

00:48:48.840 --> 00:48:52.600
But<00:48:48.841> otherwise,<00:48:48.842> he<00:48:48.843> didn't<00:48:48.844> know<00:48:48.845> of<00:48:48.846> anything.

00:48:52.600 --> 00:48:56.120
Interesting.<00:48:53.040> Paul,<00:48:53.480> what<00:48:53.920> of<00:48:54.360> that?

00:48:56.120 --> 00:48:59.240
Tell<00:48:56.121> us<00:48:56.122> a<00:48:56.123> little<00:48:56.124> bit<00:48:56.125> more<00:48:56.126> from<00:48:56.127> your<00:48:56.128> work

00:48:59.240 --> 00:49:04.200
dealing<00:48:59.241> with<00:48:59.242> the<00:48:59.243> life<00:48:59.244> review<00:48:59.245> that<00:48:59.246> maybe<00:48:59.247> startled<00:48:59.248> you,

00:49:04.200 --> 00:49:10.360
perhaps<00:49:04.324> made<00:49:04.449> you<00:49:04.573> sit<00:49:04.698> up<00:49:04.822> and<00:49:04.947> take<00:49:05.071> notice.<00:49:05.196> Is<00:49:05.320> there<00:49:05.444> anything<00:49:05.569> that<00:49:05.693> you<00:49:05.818> can<00:49:05.942> go<00:49:06.067> back<00:49:06.191> to<00:49:06.316> and<00:49:06.440> say,

00:49:10.360 --> 00:49:17.640
wow,<00:49:10.478> this<00:49:10.596> is<00:49:10.714> a<00:49:10.832> story<00:49:10.950> that<00:49:11.069> the<00:49:11.187> world<00:49:11.305> should<00:49:11.423> know?<00:49:11.541> I<00:49:11.659> did<00:49:11.777> do<00:49:11.895> a<00:49:12.013> book<00:49:12.131> on<00:49:12.250> the<00:49:12.368> transforming<00:49:12.486> effects<00:49:12.604> of<00:49:12.722> near-death<00:49:12.840> experiences

00:49:17.640 --> 00:49:23.080
with<00:49:17.806> Melvin<00:49:17.972> Morse.<00:49:18.138> And<00:49:18.305> what<00:49:18.471> Melvin<00:49:18.637> did<00:49:18.803> was<00:49:18.969> he<00:49:19.135> collected<00:49:19.302> a<00:49:19.468> number<00:49:19.634> of<00:49:19.800> people

00:49:23.080 --> 00:49:33.400
who<00:49:23.247> had<00:49:23.413> had<00:49:23.580> near-death<00:49:23.747> experiences.<00:49:23.913> And<00:49:24.080> then<00:49:24.247> we<00:49:24.413> examined<00:49:24.580> with<00:49:24.747> traditional<00:49:24.913> psychology<00:49:25.080> stuff,

00:49:33.400 --> 00:49:43.000
questionnaires<00:49:33.475> and<00:49:33.550> the<00:49:33.625> like,<00:49:33.700> to<00:49:33.775> see<00:49:33.850> how<00:49:33.925> much<00:49:34.000> the<00:49:34.075> near-death<00:49:34.150> experience<00:49:34.225> had<00:49:34.300> affected<00:49:34.375> them<00:49:34.450> in<00:49:34.525> their<00:49:34.600> lives.

00:49:43.000 --> 00:49:46.600
And<00:49:43.001> the<00:49:43.002> two<00:49:43.003> things<00:49:43.004> that<00:49:43.005> affected<00:49:43.006> them<00:49:43.007> the<00:49:43.008> most,

00:49:46.600 --> 00:49:50.120
they<00:49:46.601> were<00:49:46.602> all<00:49:46.603> affected<00:49:46.604> for<00:49:46.605> their<00:49:46.606> lifetime.

00:49:50.120 --> 00:49:52.680
We<00:49:50.121> would<00:49:50.122> examine<00:49:50.123> people<00:49:50.124> who<00:49:50.125> had<00:49:50.126> had<00:49:50.127> near-death<00:49:50.128> experiences

00:49:52.680 --> 00:49:55.640
when<00:49:52.681> they<00:49:52.682> were<00:49:52.683> 10<00:49:52.684> or<00:49:52.685> 15<00:49:52.686> or<00:49:52.687> 20<00:49:52.688> years<00:49:52.689> old,

00:49:55.640 --> 00:49:59.480
and<00:49:55.641> then<00:49:55.642> look<00:49:55.643> at<00:49:55.644> them<00:49:55.645> later<00:49:55.646> and<00:49:55.647> see<00:49:55.648> how<00:49:55.649> their<00:49:55.650> lives<00:49:55.651> had<00:49:55.652> changed.

00:49:59.480 --> 00:50:04.680
The<00:49:59.481> light,<00:49:59.482> I<00:49:59.483> felt<00:49:59.484> that<00:49:59.485> the<00:49:59.486> light<00:49:59.487> was<00:49:59.488> the<00:49:59.489> most<00:49:59.490> transforming<00:49:59.491> aspect

00:50:04.680 --> 00:50:07.560
of<00:50:04.681> the<00:50:04.682> near-death<00:50:04.683> experience.

00:50:07.560 --> 00:50:12.360
And<00:50:07.561> there's<00:50:07.562> something<00:50:07.563> about<00:50:07.564> that<00:50:07.565> light<00:50:07.566> that<00:50:07.567> completely<00:50:07.568> changes<00:50:07.569> people.

00:50:12.360 --> 00:50:17.880
The<00:50:12.361> life<00:50:12.362> review,<00:50:12.363> of<00:50:12.364> course,<00:50:12.365> is<00:50:12.366> very<00:50:12.367> closely<00:50:12.368> tied<00:50:12.369> into<00:50:12.370> the<00:50:12.371> light.

00:50:17.880 --> 00:50:23.160
Because<00:50:18.019> it<00:50:18.157> seems<00:50:18.296> to<00:50:18.435> come<00:50:18.573> out<00:50:18.712> of<00:50:18.851> the<00:50:18.989> light,<00:50:19.128> that<00:50:19.267> was<00:50:19.405> also<00:50:19.544> very<00:50:19.683> transformative<00:50:19.821> as<00:50:19.960> well.

00:50:23.160 --> 00:50:27.880
But<00:50:23.161> one<00:50:23.162> of<00:50:23.163> the<00:50:23.164> amazing<00:50:23.165> things<00:50:23.166> that

00:50:27.880 --> 00:50:35.560
hit<00:50:27.881> me<00:50:27.882> in<00:50:27.883> that<00:50:27.884> study<00:50:27.885> was<00:50:27.886> that<00:50:27.887> people<00:50:27.888> who<00:50:27.889> have<00:50:27.890> had<00:50:27.891> near-death<00:50:27.892> experiences

00:50:35.560 --> 00:50:41.880
are<00:50:35.561> four<00:50:35.562> times<00:50:35.563> as<00:50:35.564> likely<00:50:35.565> to<00:50:35.566> have<00:50:35.567> verifiable<00:50:35.568> psychic<00:50:35.569> experiences.

00:50:41.880 --> 00:50:44.520
Have<00:50:41.881> you<00:50:41.882> run<00:50:41.883> into<00:50:41.884> that,<00:50:41.885> Raymond?

00:50:44.520 --> 00:50:48.120
Well,<00:50:44.521> yeah,<00:50:44.522> I've<00:50:44.523> heard<00:50:44.524> a<00:50:44.525> lot<00:50:44.526> of<00:50:44.527> people<00:50:44.528> who<00:50:44.529> tell<00:50:44.530> me

00:50:48.120 --> 00:50:51.640
they<00:50:48.121> became<00:50:48.122> more<00:50:48.123> intuitive<00:50:48.124> after<00:50:48.125> this.

00:50:51.640 --> 00:50:54.360
Yeah,<00:50:51.641> there's<00:50:51.642> a<00:50:51.643> lot<00:50:51.644> of<00:50:51.645> intuition<00:50:51.646> increase.

00:50:54.360 --> 00:50:58.600
But<00:50:54.361> he<00:50:54.362> was<00:50:54.363> actually<00:50:54.364> able<00:50:54.365> to<00:50:54.366> find<00:50:54.367> people<00:50:54.368> who<00:50:54.369> had<00:50:54.370> had

00:50:58.600 --> 00:51:03.960
verifiable<00:50:58.870> psychic<00:50:59.140> experiences.<00:50:59.410> A<00:50:59.680> verifiable<00:50:59.950> psychic<00:51:00.220> experience<00:51:00.490> would<00:51:00.760> be,

00:51:03.960 --> 00:51:08.840
if<00:51:03.961> you<00:51:03.962> had<00:51:03.963> a<00:51:03.964> dream<00:51:03.965> that<00:51:03.966> the<00:51:03.967> plane<00:51:03.968> you<00:51:03.969> were<00:51:03.970> going<00:51:03.971> to<00:51:03.972> take<00:51:03.973> the<00:51:03.974> next<00:51:03.975> day<00:51:03.976> crashed,

00:51:08.840 --> 00:51:12.280
and<00:51:08.841> you<00:51:08.842> got<00:51:08.843> up<00:51:08.844> in<00:51:08.845> the<00:51:08.846> morning<00:51:08.847> and<00:51:08.848> you<00:51:08.849> told<00:51:08.850> your<00:51:08.851> partner,

00:51:12.280 --> 00:51:15.000
I<00:51:12.281> think<00:51:12.282> this<00:51:12.283> plane<00:51:12.284> is<00:51:12.285> going<00:51:12.286> to<00:51:12.287> crash<00:51:12.288> and<00:51:12.289> it<00:51:12.290> does.

00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:18.840
That's<00:51:15.001> an<00:51:15.002> extreme<00:51:15.003> example<00:51:15.004> of<00:51:15.005> a<00:51:15.006> verifiable<00:51:15.007> psychic<00:51:15.008> experience.

00:51:18.840 --> 00:51:22.680
But<00:51:18.841> there's<00:51:18.842> a<00:51:18.843> lot<00:51:18.844> more<00:51:18.845> of<00:51:18.846> those<00:51:18.847> with<00:51:18.848> people<00:51:18.849> who<00:51:18.850> have<00:51:18.851> had<00:51:18.852> NDEs

00:51:22.680 --> 00:51:32.360
than<00:51:22.833> have<00:51:22.985> not.<00:51:23.138> And<00:51:23.291> that<00:51:23.444> surprised<00:51:23.596> me<00:51:23.749> and<00:51:23.902> intrigued<00:51:24.055> me<00:51:24.207> very<00:51:24.360> much.

00:51:32.360 --> 00:51:35.800
Well,<00:51:32.361> at<00:51:32.362> this<00:51:32.363> recent<00:51:32.364> conference<00:51:32.365> here<00:51:32.366> was<00:51:32.367> a<00:51:32.368> young<00:51:32.369> evangelical<00:51:32.370> woman

00:51:35.800 --> 00:51:40.120
who<00:51:35.801> after<00:51:35.802> her<00:51:35.803> near-death<00:51:35.804> experience<00:51:35.805> started<00:51:35.806> to<00:51:35.807> channel.

00:51:40.120 --> 00:51:45.160
So,<00:51:40.276> you<00:51:40.431> know,<00:51:40.587> and<00:51:40.743> she<00:51:40.899> started<00:51:41.054> getting<00:51:41.210> pictures<00:51:41.366> of<00:51:41.522> what<00:51:41.677> a<00:51:41.833> new<00:51:41.989> earth<00:51:42.145> will<00:51:42.300> look<00:51:42.456> like.

00:51:45.160 --> 00:51:48.120
I<00:51:45.161> never<00:51:45.162> heard<00:51:45.163> of<00:51:45.164> Eckhart<00:51:45.165> Tolle's<00:51:45.166> book,<00:51:45.167> but<00:51:45.168> there<00:51:45.169> it<00:51:45.170> was<00:51:45.171> in<00:51:45.172> her<00:51:45.173> title.

00:51:48.120 --> 00:51:55.160
But<00:51:48.242> I<00:51:48.364> was<00:51:48.486> just<00:51:48.608> just<00:51:48.731> fascinated.<00:51:48.853> Just<00:51:48.975> fascinated<00:51:49.097> that<00:51:49.219> the<00:51:49.341> work<00:51:49.463> that<00:51:49.585> you<00:51:49.707> gentlemen<00:51:49.829> have<00:51:49.952> been<00:51:50.074> doing<00:51:50.196> for<00:51:50.318> decades<00:51:50.440> now.

00:51:55.160 --> 00:51:58.840
And<00:51:55.161> Raymond,<00:51:55.162> I've<00:51:55.163> got<00:51:55.164> to<00:51:55.165> ask<00:51:55.166> you<00:51:55.167> this<00:51:55.168> question<00:51:55.169> again<00:51:55.170> before<00:51:55.171> we<00:51:55.172> go.

00:51:58.840 --> 00:52:03.800
If<00:51:58.841> you<00:51:58.842> could<00:51:58.843> have<00:51:58.844> peered<00:51:58.845> into<00:51:58.846> the<00:51:58.847> future<00:51:58.848> 50<00:51:58.849> years<00:51:58.850> ago<00:51:58.851> when<00:51:58.852> you're<00:51:58.853> writing<00:51:58.854> this<00:51:58.855> book

00:52:03.800 --> 00:52:10.680
and<00:52:03.801> look<00:52:03.802> 50<00:52:03.803> years<00:52:03.804> hence,<00:52:03.805> would<00:52:03.806> you<00:52:03.807> be<00:52:03.808> satisfied<00:52:03.809> with<00:52:03.810> the<00:52:03.811> degree<00:52:03.812> of<00:52:03.813> awareness

00:52:10.680 --> 00:52:18.120
and<00:52:10.681> receptivity<00:52:10.682> to<00:52:10.683> those<00:52:10.684> ideas<00:52:10.685> when<00:52:10.686> you<00:52:10.687> were<00:52:10.688> first<00:52:10.689> putting<00:52:10.690> them<00:52:10.691> to<00:52:10.692> pen<00:52:10.693> in<00:52:10.694> 1974?

00:52:18.120 --> 00:52:22.040
Well,<00:52:18.121> yeah.

00:52:22.040 --> 00:52:24.600
Yeah,<00:52:22.041> I<00:52:22.042> mean,<00:52:22.043> it's<00:52:22.044> trying<00:52:22.045> to<00:52:22.046> look.

00:52:24.600 --> 00:52:31.320
I<00:52:24.601> don't<00:52:24.602> think<00:52:24.603> I<00:52:24.604> ever<00:52:24.605> would<00:52:24.606> have<00:52:24.607> imagined<00:52:24.608> that<00:52:24.609> it<00:52:24.610> is<00:52:24.611> penetrated<00:52:24.612> to<00:52:24.613> this<00:52:24.614> depth.

00:52:31.320 --> 00:52:36.600
But<00:52:31.321> then<00:52:31.322> in<00:52:31.323> another<00:52:31.324> way,<00:52:31.325> I'm<00:52:31.326> not<00:52:31.327> surprised<00:52:31.328> because<00:52:31.329> the<00:52:31.330> information<00:52:31.331> is<00:52:31.332> riveting.

00:52:36.600 --> 00:52:41.560
You<00:52:36.601> know,<00:52:36.602> I<00:52:36.603> mean,<00:52:36.604> it's<00:52:36.605> just<00:52:36.606> that<00:52:36.607> there<00:52:36.608> is<00:52:36.609> a<00:52:36.610> structure<00:52:36.611> in<00:52:36.612> this<00:52:36.613> kind<00:52:36.614> of<00:52:36.615> story

00:52:41.560 --> 00:52:44.920
that<00:52:41.561> you<00:52:41.562> just<00:52:41.563> can't<00:52:41.564> stop<00:52:41.565> listening<00:52:41.566> to<00:52:41.567> them.

00:52:44.920 --> 00:52:49.800
And<00:52:44.921> so<00:52:44.922> I'm<00:52:44.923> not<00:52:44.924> really<00:52:44.925> surprised.

00:52:49.800 --> 00:52:55.560
I<00:52:49.801> would<00:52:49.802> not<00:52:49.803> have<00:52:49.804> anticipated<00:52:49.805> that<00:52:49.806> it<00:52:49.807> would<00:52:49.808> have<00:52:49.809> this<00:52:49.810> degree<00:52:49.811> of<00:52:49.812> impact,

00:52:55.560 --> 00:52:59.480
but<00:52:55.561> I'm<00:52:55.562> not<00:52:55.563> really<00:52:55.564> surprised<00:52:55.565> that<00:52:55.566> it<00:52:55.567> did.

00:52:59.480 --> 00:53:04.440
Yeah.<00:52:59.891> Interesting<00:53:00.303> answer.<00:53:00.714> Paul,<00:53:01.126> what<00:53:01.537> do<00:53:01.949> you<00:53:02.360> think?

00:53:04.440 --> 00:53:07.800
How<00:53:04.441> far<00:53:04.442> have<00:53:04.443> we<00:53:04.444> come<00:53:04.445> since<00:53:04.446> those<00:53:04.447> first<00:53:04.448> books<00:53:04.449> were<00:53:04.450> written,

00:53:07.800 --> 00:53:12.920
some<00:53:07.801> of<00:53:07.802> which<00:53:07.803> you<00:53:07.804> co-authored,<00:53:07.805> and<00:53:07.806> where<00:53:07.807> we<00:53:07.808> are<00:53:07.809> today<00:53:07.810> and<00:53:07.811> maybe<00:53:07.812> where<00:53:07.813> we're<00:53:07.814> going<00:53:07.815> next?

00:53:12.920 --> 00:53:16.040
Well,<00:53:12.921> I<00:53:12.922> think<00:53:12.923> the<00:53:12.924> acceptance<00:53:12.925> is<00:53:12.926> wonderful,

00:53:16.040 --> 00:53:20.360
and<00:53:16.041> I<00:53:16.042> think<00:53:16.043> that's<00:53:16.044> an<00:53:16.045> indication<00:53:16.046> of<00:53:16.047> where<00:53:16.048> we're<00:53:16.049> going<00:53:16.050> next.

00:53:20.360 --> 00:53:24.280
I<00:53:20.361> think<00:53:20.362> people's<00:53:20.363> view<00:53:20.364> of<00:53:20.365> an<00:53:20.366> afterlife,<00:53:20.367> their<00:53:20.368> view<00:53:20.369> of<00:53:20.370> religion,

00:53:24.280 --> 00:53:28.200
their<00:53:24.281> view<00:53:24.282> of<00:53:24.283> spirituality<00:53:24.284> has<00:53:24.285> all<00:53:24.286> been<00:53:24.287> greatly<00:53:24.288> affected

00:53:28.200 --> 00:53:31.560
by<00:53:28.201> the<00:53:28.202> study<00:53:28.203> of<00:53:28.204> near-death<00:53:28.205> experiences.

00:53:31.560 --> 00:53:35.480
I<00:53:31.561> was<00:53:31.562> always<00:53:31.563> going<00:53:31.564> first<00:53:31.565> toward.

00:53:35.480 --> 00:53:39.800
My<00:53:35.481> claim<00:53:35.482> about<00:53:35.483> where<00:53:35.484> it's<00:53:35.485> going<00:53:35.486> toward<00:53:35.487> is<00:53:35.488> that<00:53:35.489> we<00:53:35.490> now<00:53:35.491> have

00:53:39.800 --> 00:53:43.684
methods,<00:53:39.801> very<00:53:39.802> simple<00:53:39.803> methods,<00:53:39.804> where<00:53:39.805> we<00:53:39.806> can

00:53:43.684 --> 00:53:49.080
reformat<00:53:43.685> people's<00:53:43.686> rational<00:53:43.687> mind<00:53:43.688> and<00:53:43.689> logical<00:53:43.690> system

00:53:49.080 --> 00:53:52.680
so<00:53:49.081> that<00:53:49.082> subsequently<00:53:49.083> when<00:53:49.084> they<00:53:49.085> have<00:53:49.086> a<00:53:49.087> near-death<00:53:49.088> experience,

00:53:52.680 --> 00:53:57.160
they<00:53:52.681> will<00:53:52.682> be<00:53:52.683> able<00:53:52.684> to<00:53:52.685> overcome<00:53:52.686> the<00:53:52.687> ineffability<00:53:52.688> problem.

00:53:57.160 --> 00:54:01.480
And<00:53:57.261> it's<00:53:57.363> already<00:53:57.464> been<00:53:57.565> done.<00:53:57.667> It's<00:53:57.768> just<00:53:57.869> that<00:53:57.971> this<00:53:58.072> is<00:53:58.173> something<00:53:58.275> that<00:53:58.376> is<00:53:58.477> not<00:53:58.579> going<00:53:58.680> to...

00:54:01.480 --> 00:54:07.080
I<00:54:01.481> mean,<00:54:01.482> it's<00:54:01.483> conceptual<00:54:01.484> work<00:54:01.485> rather<00:54:01.486> than<00:54:01.487> narrative<00:54:01.488> work,

00:54:07.080 --> 00:54:13.880
but<00:54:07.228> it<00:54:07.375> will<00:54:07.523> happen.<00:54:07.671> It's<00:54:07.818> already<00:54:07.966> happened<00:54:08.114> that<00:54:08.262> we<00:54:08.409> can<00:54:08.557> take<00:54:08.705> people<00:54:08.852> through<00:54:09.000> exercises

00:54:13.880 --> 00:54:17.800
and<00:54:13.881> teach<00:54:13.882> them<00:54:13.883> how<00:54:13.884> to<00:54:13.885> think<00:54:13.886> in<00:54:13.887> new<00:54:13.888> ways<00:54:13.889> so<00:54:13.890> that<00:54:13.891> when<00:54:13.892> they<00:54:13.893> subsequently

00:54:17.800 --> 00:54:22.360
have<00:54:17.801> a<00:54:17.802> near-death<00:54:17.803> experience,<00:54:17.804> they'll<00:54:17.805> be<00:54:17.806> able<00:54:17.807> to<00:54:17.808> describe<00:54:17.809> it<00:54:17.810> in<00:54:17.811> a<00:54:17.812> new<00:54:17.813> way.

00:54:22.360 --> 00:54:26.600
And<00:54:22.361> what<00:54:22.362> this<00:54:22.363> will<00:54:22.364> give<00:54:22.365> us<00:54:22.366> is<00:54:22.367> what<00:54:22.368> astronomers<00:54:22.369> call<00:54:22.370> parallax,<00:54:22.371> right?

00:54:26.600 --> 00:54:30.440
How<00:54:26.601> do<00:54:26.602> we<00:54:26.603> know<00:54:26.604> it's<00:54:26.605> 4.3<00:54:26.606> light<00:54:26.607> years<00:54:26.608> to<00:54:26.609> Alpha<00:54:26.610> Centauri?

00:54:30.440 --> 00:54:33.720
Because<00:54:30.441> when<00:54:30.442> the<00:54:30.443> sun<00:54:30.444> is<00:54:30.445> here,<00:54:30.446> measure<00:54:30.447> the<00:54:30.448> angle,

00:54:33.720 --> 00:54:37.640
wait<00:54:33.721> six<00:54:33.722> months<00:54:33.723> later<00:54:33.724> when<00:54:33.725> it's<00:54:33.726> 186<00:54:33.727> million<00:54:33.728> miles<00:54:33.729> away,

00:54:37.640 --> 00:54:40.360
raise<00:54:37.641> the<00:54:37.642> angle<00:54:37.643> again,<00:54:37.644> and<00:54:37.645> that's<00:54:37.646> parallax.

00:54:40.360 --> 00:54:43.066
And<00:54:40.361> so<00:54:40.362> now<00:54:40.363> we<00:54:40.364> have<00:54:40.365> a<00:54:40.366> method<00:54:40.367> where<00:54:40.368> we'll<00:54:40.369> be

00:54:43.066 --> 00:54:47.400
able<00:54:43.067> to<00:54:43.068> hone<00:54:43.069> in<00:54:43.070> on<00:54:43.071> the<00:54:43.072> afterlife<00:54:43.073> in<00:54:43.074> a<00:54:43.075> new<00:54:43.076> way.

00:54:47.400 --> 00:54:51.080
So<00:54:47.401> in<00:54:47.402> the<00:54:47.403> next<00:54:47.404> 50<00:54:47.405> years,<00:54:47.406> this<00:54:47.407> will<00:54:47.408> be<00:54:47.409> self-evident?

00:54:51.080 --> 00:54:56.040
Yes,<00:54:51.329> absolutely.<00:54:51.578> Do<00:54:51.827> you<00:54:52.076> think<00:54:52.324> we'll<00:54:52.573> be<00:54:52.822> visiting<00:54:53.071> the<00:54:53.320> afterlife?

00:54:56.040 --> 00:54:59.800
I<00:54:56.041> think<00:54:56.042> people<00:54:56.043> are<00:54:56.044> already<00:54:56.045> visiting<00:54:56.046> the<00:54:56.047> afterlife.

00:54:59.800 --> 00:55:06.280
It's<00:54:59.801> like<00:54:59.802> I've<00:54:59.803> known<00:54:59.804> a<00:54:59.805> lot<00:54:59.806> of<00:54:59.807> people<00:54:59.808> who<00:54:59.809> had,<00:54:59.810> say,<00:54:59.811> numerous<00:54:59.812> cardiac<00:54:59.813> arrests

00:55:06.280 --> 00:55:12.040

00:55:12.040 --> 00:55:18.200
or<00:55:12.041> people<00:55:12.042> who<00:55:12.043> are<00:55:12.044> very<00:55:12.045> open<00:55:12.046> to<00:55:12.047> see<00:55:12.048> apparitions<00:55:12.049> of<00:55:12.050> the<00:55:12.051> departed<00:55:12.052> or<00:55:12.053> whatever.

00:55:18.200 --> 00:55:21.480
There's<00:55:18.201> a<00:55:18.202> lot<00:55:18.203> of<00:55:18.204> people<00:55:18.205> who<00:55:18.206> are<00:55:18.207> kind<00:55:18.208> of<00:55:18.209> both<00:55:18.210> here<00:55:18.211> and<00:55:18.212> there.

00:55:21.480 --> 00:55:25.640
And<00:55:21.481> the<00:55:21.482> older<00:55:21.483> you<00:55:21.484> get,<00:55:21.485> the<00:55:21.486> more<00:55:21.487> people<00:55:21.488> there<00:55:21.489> are<00:55:21.490> that<00:55:21.491> like<00:55:21.492> that,

00:55:25.640 --> 00:55:30.520
who<00:55:25.641> just<00:55:25.642> sort<00:55:25.643> of<00:55:25.644> don't<00:55:25.645> see<00:55:25.646> an<00:55:25.647> absolute<00:55:25.648> divide<00:55:25.649> between<00:55:25.650> here<00:55:25.651> and<00:55:25.652> there,

00:55:30.520 --> 00:55:36.600
but<00:55:30.521> rather<00:55:30.522> say<00:55:30.523> that<00:55:30.524> it's<00:55:30.525> kind<00:55:30.526> of<00:55:30.527> integrated<00:55:30.528> through<00:55:30.529> consciousness.

00:55:36.600 --> 00:55:40.360
Paul,<00:55:36.601> do<00:55:36.602> you<00:55:36.603> mean<00:55:36.604> that<00:55:36.605> people<00:55:36.606> will<00:55:36.607> do<00:55:36.608> it<00:55:36.609> volitionally?

00:55:40.360 --> 00:55:49.160
Is<00:55:40.423> that<00:55:40.487> what<00:55:40.550> you're<00:55:40.613> suggesting,<00:55:40.677> Paul?<00:55:40.740> I<00:55:40.803> would<00:55:40.867> say<00:55:40.930> that's<00:55:40.993> possible<00:55:41.057> if<00:55:41.120> he<00:55:41.183> can<00:55:41.247> hone<00:55:41.310> in<00:55:41.373> on<00:55:41.437> where<00:55:41.500> it<00:55:41.563> is<00:55:41.627> and<00:55:41.690> how<00:55:41.753> to<00:55:41.817> get<00:55:41.880> there.

00:55:49.160 --> 00:55:52.280
That's<00:55:49.161> sort<00:55:49.162> of<00:55:49.163> what<00:55:49.164> I<00:55:49.165> thought<00:55:49.166> he<00:55:49.167> was<00:55:49.168> getting<00:55:49.169> at.

00:55:52.280 --> 00:55:57.388
Yeah,<00:55:52.421> if<00:55:52.562> you<00:55:52.704> look<00:55:52.845> at<00:55:52.986> some<00:55:53.127> of<00:55:53.268> the<00:55:53.409> research,<00:55:53.551> if<00:55:53.692> you<00:55:53.833> look<00:55:53.974> at<00:55:54.115> some<00:55:54.256> of<00:55:54.398> the<00:55:54.539> research<00:55:54.680> like

00:55:57.388 --> 00:56:01.320
Erlendur<00:55:57.389> Haraldsson,<00:55:57.390> the<00:55:57.391> apparition<00:55:57.392> research,

00:56:01.320 --> 00:56:06.978
he<00:56:01.321> found<00:56:01.322> that<00:56:01.323> 60%<00:56:01.324> of<00:56:01.325> widows<00:56:01.326> are<00:56:01.327> visited<00:56:01.328> or<00:56:01.329> visit

00:56:06.978 --> 00:56:12.520
their<00:56:06.979> husbands<00:56:06.980> after<00:56:06.981> their<00:56:06.982> husbands<00:56:06.983> have<00:56:06.984> passed.

00:56:12.520 --> 00:56:21.240
Yes,<00:56:12.521> and<00:56:12.522> that's<00:56:12.523> like<00:56:12.524> 60%.

00:56:21.240 --> 00:56:24.048
If<00:56:21.241> you<00:56:21.242> can<00:56:21.243> conjure<00:56:21.244> up<00:56:21.245> a<00:56:21.246> way,<00:56:21.247> excuse<00:56:21.248> the<00:56:21.249> use

00:56:24.048 --> 00:56:28.280
of<00:56:24.049> that<00:56:24.050> word,<00:56:24.051> to<00:56:24.052> actually<00:56:24.053> visit<00:56:24.054> them<00:56:24.055> at<00:56:24.056> will,

00:56:28.280 --> 00:56:33.240
that's<00:56:28.281> sort<00:56:28.282> of<00:56:28.283> what<00:56:28.284> you<00:56:28.285> were<00:56:28.286> talking<00:56:28.287> about,<00:56:28.288> correct?

00:56:33.240 --> 00:56:37.400
And<00:56:33.241> in<00:56:33.242> some<00:56:33.243> ways,<00:56:33.244> you've<00:56:33.245> done<00:56:33.246> that<00:56:33.247> with<00:56:33.248> the<00:56:33.249> psychomanteum.

00:56:37.400 --> 00:56:40.520
Yeah,<00:56:37.401> you<00:56:37.402> can<00:56:37.403> do<00:56:37.404> it.

00:56:40.520 --> 00:56:44.320
The<00:56:40.521> difficulty<00:56:40.522> here<00:56:40.523> is<00:56:40.524> not<00:56:40.525> the<00:56:40.526> fact,<00:56:40.527> which<00:56:40.528> is

00:56:44.320 --> 00:56:48.120
the<00:56:44.321> fact<00:56:44.322> is<00:56:44.323> it's<00:56:44.324> relatively<00:56:44.325> easy<00:56:44.326> to<00:56:44.327> go<00:56:44.328> through

00:56:48.120 --> 00:56:50.751
a<00:56:48.121> process<00:56:48.122> during<00:56:48.123> which<00:56:48.124> you<00:56:48.125> will<00:56:48.126> have<00:56:48.127> a

00:56:50.751 --> 00:56:53.720
lifelike<00:56:50.752> apparition<00:56:50.753> of<00:56:50.754> a<00:56:50.755> departed<00:56:50.756> loved<00:56:50.757> one.

00:56:53.720 --> 00:57:00.440
The<00:56:53.940> difficulty<00:56:54.159> is<00:56:54.379> that<00:56:54.599> it's<00:56:54.818> the<00:56:55.038> psychological,<00:56:55.257> people<00:56:55.477> just<00:56:55.697> can't<00:56:55.916> compute<00:56:56.136> this.

00:57:00.440 --> 00:57:07.000
They<00:57:00.581> used<00:57:00.722> to<00:57:00.864> be<00:57:01.005> able<00:57:01.146> to.<00:57:01.287> People<00:57:01.428> in<00:57:01.569> ancient<00:57:01.711> Greece<00:57:01.852> could,<00:57:01.993> even<00:57:02.134> in<00:57:02.275> the<00:57:02.416> Victorian<00:57:02.558> era<00:57:02.699> people<00:57:02.840> could,

00:57:07.000 --> 00:57:10.040
but<00:57:07.001> now<00:57:07.002> it's<00:57:07.003> against<00:57:07.004> the<00:57:07.005> temper<00:57:07.006> of<00:57:07.007> the<00:57:07.008> times.

00:57:10.040 --> 00:57:14.386
But<00:57:10.041> nonetheless,<00:57:10.042> the<00:57:10.043> fact<00:57:10.044> is<00:57:10.045> that<00:57:10.046> it's<00:57:10.047> fairly

00:57:14.386 --> 00:57:19.800
easy,<00:57:14.387> oddly,<00:57:14.388> to<00:57:14.389> visit<00:57:14.390> with<00:57:14.391> a<00:57:14.392> deceased<00:57:14.393> relative.

00:57:19.800 --> 00:57:22.494
Gentlemen,<00:57:19.801> I<00:57:19.802> hope<00:57:19.803> that<00:57:19.804> our<00:57:19.805> next<00:57:19.806> conversation<00:57:19.807> will

00:57:22.494 --> 00:57:25.800
not<00:57:22.495> necessarily<00:57:22.496> warrant<00:57:22.497> a<00:57:22.498> near-death<00:57:22.499> experience.

00:57:25.800 --> 00:57:33.400
Maybe<00:57:25.900> we<00:57:26.000> can<00:57:26.100> continue<00:57:26.200> to<00:57:26.300> do<00:57:26.400> this<00:57:26.500> in<00:57:26.600> the<00:57:26.700> physical.<00:57:26.800> And<00:57:26.900> Raymond,<00:57:27.000> I'll<00:57:27.100> try<00:57:27.200> not<00:57:27.300> to<00:57:27.400> wait<00:57:27.500> another<00:57:27.600> 30<00:57:27.700> years<00:57:27.800> before<00:57:27.900> we<00:57:28.000> have<00:57:28.100> a<00:57:28.200> conversation

00:57:33.400 --> 00:57:38.600
