What Really Happens After Death - Doctors & Nurses Are Afraid To Tell You

Mayim Bialik and Jonathan Cohen explore the phenomenon of shared death experiences (SDEs) — cases where healthy, conscious people, including doctors, nurses, and family members, report sharing in the sensations, visions, or transition of someone who is dying. They open with Dr. Jeff O'Driscoll's account of witnessing an apparition hovering over a trauma patient, a vision also seen by a nurse in the room, which turned out to match the description of the patient's deceased wife.

The hosts trace the history of the concept back to Dr. Raymond Moody, who first documented near-death experiences and later shared death experiences, and to Dr. William Peters' Shared Crossings Project, which has documented over 800 cases and published peer-reviewed research showing that a majority of these experiences occur remotely, with the witness not even physically present with the dying person.

They discuss accounts from death doula Martha Jo Atkins, neuroscientist Dr. Tara Swart's after-death communication with her husband, and historical and cross-cultural traditions — from ancient Greek oracles of the dead to Dia de los Muertos — that reflect similar beliefs. The episode also considers skeptical explanations like shared psychosis and confirmation bias, while asking what these experiences might reveal about consciousness, death, and human connection.

Key takeaways

• A shared death experience (SDE) occurs when a healthy, non-dying person shares sensory, emotional, or visionary aspects of another person's death.
• Dr. Raymond Moody first coined 'near-death experience' and later introduced 'shared death experience' after collecting hundreds of similar accounts.
• Dr. William Peters' Shared Crossings Project has documented over 800 SDE cases, with research showing 64% occurred remotely, without the witness being physically present.
• Common SDE phenomena include unexplained mist, cold rooms, music, feelings of being pulled upward, and apparitions of deceased loved ones guiding the dying.
• 87% of people who experienced an SDE became convinced of an afterlife, often reducing their fear of death.
• Skeptical explanations include shared psychosis, confirmation bias, and psychological responses to trauma, though researchers say simple medical explanations like oxygen deprivation don't fully account for the data.
• Cross-cultural and historical traditions — from ancient Greek 'oracles of the dead' to Aboriginal Australian death rituals to Dia de los Muertos — reflect long-standing beliefs in communication between the living and dying.

00:03:41.880 --> 00:03:50.800
So,<00:03:42.040> these<00:03:42.280> are<00:03:42.360> people<00:03:42.720> who<00:03:42.920> are<00:03:43.357> [music]<00:03:43.519> healthy,<00:03:44.640> not<00:03:45.080> dying,<00:03:45.840> family<00:03:46.200> members,<00:03:46.640> friends,<00:03:47.600> even<00:03:47.840> medical<00:03:48.200> personnel<00:03:49.080> who<00:03:49.200> described<00:03:50.239> seeing

We<00:04:32.960> don't<00:04:33.160> really<00:04:33.400> know.<00:04:33.720> It's<00:04:33.840> what<00:04:33.960> we're<00:04:34.040> going<00:04:34.160> to<00:04:34.200> talk<00:04:34.400> about<00:04:34.640> today.

But<00:27:50.560> is<00:27:50.760> this<00:27:50.920> an<00:27:51.120> actual<00:27:51.640> phenomenon?<00:27:52.320> Is<00:27:52.480> this<00:27:52.640> something<00:27:52.920> that's<00:27:53.160> actually<00:27:53.680> happening<00:27:54.400> all<00:27:54.640> the<00:27:54.760> time?

00:27:55.920 --> 00:28:00.360
The<00:27:56.080> best<00:27:56.440> person<00:27:56.800> who<00:27:56.920> can<00:27:57.040> answer<00:27:57.320> that<00:27:57.520> question<00:27:58.280> is<00:27:58.480> a<00:27:58.560> death<00:27:58.920> doula.

00:28:00.360 --> 00:28:08.480
Something<00:28:00.880> that<00:28:01.120> she<00:28:01.360> shared<00:28:02.040> once<00:28:02.320> the<00:28:02.440> cameras<00:28:03.080> were<00:28:03.360> off,<00:28:04.240> she<00:28:04.800> came<00:28:05.120> back<00:28:05.440> to<00:28:05.560> us<00:28:05.880> and<00:28:06.080> she<00:28:06.280> said,<00:28:06.720> "I<00:28:06.920> realize<00:28:07.720> you<00:28:07.960> asked<00:28:08.240> me<00:28:08.400> a

00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:13.194
question<00:28:09.840> that<00:28:10.360> I<00:28:10.480> didn't<00:28:11.000> have<00:28:11.280> an<00:28:11.400> answer<00:28:11.840> for<00:28:12.240> in<00:28:12.440> the<00:28:12.520> moment."

00:28:13.194 --> 00:28:19.280
[music]<00:28:13.280> And<00:28:13.440> what<00:28:13.600> she<00:28:13.760> shared<00:28:14.080> was<00:28:14.240> one<00:28:14.400> of<00:28:14.480> the<00:28:14.560> most<00:28:14.840> interesting<00:28:15.360> and<00:28:15.480> potentially<00:28:16.120> shocking<00:28:16.880> stories<00:28:17.480> that<00:28:17.760> she<00:28:17.920> shared<00:28:18.240> with<00:28:18.440> us.

00:28:19.280 --> 00:28:27.840
During<00:28:19.640> one<00:28:19.840> of<00:28:20.000> her<00:28:20.600> transitions<00:28:21.720> helping<00:28:22.080> someone<00:28:22.480> pass,<00:28:23.280> she<00:28:23.440> was<00:28:23.640> in<00:28:23.920> a<00:28:24.040> death<00:28:24.400> center,<00:28:25.280> and<00:28:25.560> all<00:28:25.880> of<00:28:26.000> a<00:28:26.080> sudden<00:28:26.880> the<00:28:27.080> doors<00:28:27.720> to

00:28:27.840 --> 00:28:35.520
the<00:28:27.960> room<00:28:28.560> blew<00:28:29.120> open,<00:28:29.960> and<00:28:30.200> a<00:28:30.520> ferociously<00:28:31.440> cold<00:28:32.080> wind<00:28:32.880> passed<00:28:33.360> over<00:28:33.800> everyone<00:28:34.400> in<00:28:34.520> the<00:28:34.640> space.

00:28:35.520 --> 00:28:38.640
Suddenly,<00:28:36.200> an<00:28:36.480> image<00:28:37.080> appeared<00:28:37.640> in<00:28:37.760> the<00:28:37.880> corner.

00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:47.000
The<00:28:39.000> daughter<00:28:39.520> of<00:28:39.640> the<00:28:39.760> person<00:28:40.160> who<00:28:40.280> was<00:28:40.480> passing<00:28:41.200> looked<00:28:41.520> and<00:28:41.640> said,<00:28:42.240> "That's<00:28:43.040> my<00:28:43.200> dad,"<00:28:43.880> who<00:28:44.080> had<00:28:44.360> come<00:28:44.960> to<00:28:45.080> help<00:28:45.400> the<00:28:45.520> mother<00:28:46.000> cross.

00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:55.360
It<00:28:47.240> was<00:28:47.640> undeniable<00:28:48.640> because<00:28:49.160> so<00:28:49.440> many<00:28:49.760> people<00:28:50.520> had<00:28:50.720> experienced<00:28:51.560> that<00:28:52.080> together<00:28:52.760> in<00:28:52.920> the<00:28:53.080> room,<00:28:53.560> and<00:28:53.760> they<00:28:54.000> all<00:28:54.600> saw<00:28:55.200> the

00:28:55.360 --> 00:29:00.000
vision<00:28:55.880> together.<00:28:57.000> The<00:28:57.080> notion<00:28:57.480> is<00:28:57.640> not<00:28:57.880> just<00:28:58.360> that<00:28:58.520> they<00:28:58.640> saw<00:28:58.840> this<00:28:59.040> vision<00:28:59.320> of<00:28:59.400> the<00:28:59.520> dad.

00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:08.800
The<00:29:00.160> idea<00:29:00.640> was<00:29:00.840> that<00:29:02.400> this<00:29:02.640> man<00:29:03.040> was<00:29:03.240> there<00:29:03.680> to<00:29:03.960> usher<00:29:05.280> his<00:29:05.480> wife<00:29:06.640> into<00:29:07.280> the<00:29:07.440> next<00:29:07.760> life.

00:29:08.800 --> 00:29:14.360
So,<00:29:08.880> it's<00:29:09.000> not<00:29:09.200> just<00:29:09.520> the<00:29:09.960> experiencing<00:29:10.880> that<00:29:11.000> Jonathan<00:29:11.840> is<00:29:12.040> describing<00:29:12.560> that<00:29:12.680> Martha<00:29:12.960> Joe<00:29:13.320> witnessed.

00:29:14.360 --> 00:29:23.320
The<00:29:14.480> notion<00:29:15.040> is<00:29:16.000> what<00:29:16.280> if<00:29:16.480> when<00:29:16.720> we<00:29:16.880> pass,<00:29:17.880> indeed,<00:29:19.000> we<00:29:19.240> are<00:29:19.480> ushered<00:29:20.080> to<00:29:20.320> the<00:29:20.440> next<00:29:20.800> side<00:29:21.560> by<00:29:21.760> people<00:29:22.160> who<00:29:22.320> love<00:29:22.560> us?

00:29:23.320 --> 00:29:29.520
And<00:29:23.480> that's<00:29:23.760> what<00:29:24.280> happened<00:29:24.800> to<00:29:24.960> Jeff<00:29:25.200> Olson<00:29:25.600> when<00:29:25.760> he<00:29:25.880> was<00:29:26.080> on<00:29:26.200> that<00:29:26.440> table<00:29:26.880> and<00:29:27.000> his<00:29:27.200> wife<00:29:27.560> was<00:29:27.760> hovering<00:29:28.200> above<00:29:28.560> him,<00:29:28.840> right?

00:29:29.520 --> 00:29:32.080
She<00:29:29.800> was<00:29:30.080> there<00:29:30.600> at<00:29:30.840> that<00:29:31.120> moment.

00:29:32.080 --> 00:29:40.360
And<00:29:32.280> when<00:29:32.480> we<00:29:32.640> pass,<00:29:33.920> you<00:29:34.040> know,<00:29:34.280> is<00:29:34.480> this<00:29:34.720> part<00:29:35.040> of<00:29:35.160> kind<00:29:35.440> of<00:29:35.960> the<00:29:36.160> greeting<00:29:36.600> of<00:29:36.760> relatives<00:29:37.440> that<00:29:37.600> people<00:29:37.920> who<00:29:38.040> have<00:29:38.240> near-death<00:29:38.680> experiences<00:29:39.480> report?

00:29:40.360 --> 00:29:49.040
Sounds<00:29:40.840> like<00:29:41.120> it.<00:29:42.080> The<00:29:42.240> other<00:29:42.600> aspect<00:29:43.640> that<00:29:43.840> Martha<00:29:44.160> Joe<00:29:44.360> talks<00:29:44.800> about<00:29:46.360> even<00:29:47.040> more<00:29:47.480> than<00:29:47.680> the<00:29:47.800> shared<00:29:48.200> death<00:29:48.400> experience

00:29:49.040 --> 00:29:56.160
is<00:29:49.160> the<00:29:49.320> notion<00:29:49.880> that<00:29:50.040> there<00:29:50.200> is<00:29:50.400> some<00:29:50.680> sort<00:29:50.960> of<00:29:51.400> observable<00:29:52.240> pattern<00:29:52.800> and<00:29:53.000> rhythm<00:29:53.640> to<00:29:53.840> the<00:29:53.960> moments<00:29:54.560> before<00:29:55.040> people<00:29:55.400> pass.

00:29:56.160 --> 00:30:04.720
By<00:29:56.400> observing,<00:29:57.560> we<00:29:57.760> can<00:29:58.040> see<00:29:58.400> something<00:29:58.880> that<00:29:59.080> would<00:29:59.200> be<00:29:59.440> otherwise<00:30:00.160> hidden,<00:30:00.800> which<00:30:01.040> is<00:30:01.200> a<00:30:01.320> similar<00:30:02.160> concept<00:30:02.840> to<00:30:02.920> the<00:30:03.040> notion<00:30:03.400> of<00:30:03.480> a<00:30:03.520> shared<00:30:03.800> death<00:30:03.960> experience.

00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:13.240
And<00:30:05.480> what<00:30:05.680> I<00:30:05.760> love<00:30:06.080> about<00:30:06.360> it<00:30:06.480> is<00:30:06.600> that<00:30:07.120> by<00:30:07.360> paying<00:30:07.840> more<00:30:08.040> attention,<00:30:08.520> by<00:30:08.680> looking<00:30:09.080> at<00:30:09.200> the<00:30:09.320> subtle<00:30:09.720> cues,<00:30:10.400> we<00:30:10.600> can<00:30:10.880> see<00:30:11.160> the<00:30:11.360> map,<00:30:12.000> the<00:30:12.160> timing,<00:30:13.000> and

00:30:13.240 --> 00:30:17.400
the<00:30:13.360> process<00:30:14.240> underway<00:30:15.000> that<00:30:15.240> would<00:30:15.400> normally<00:30:15.880> be<00:30:16.040> invisible<00:30:16.560> to<00:30:16.760> us.

00:30:17.400 --> 00:30:25.360
So,<00:30:17.600> what<00:30:17.760> are<00:30:17.840> the<00:30:17.960> historical<00:30:18.560> touchstones<00:30:19.280> that<00:30:19.440> we<00:30:19.560> can<00:30:19.800> point<00:30:20.200> to<00:30:20.680> that<00:30:20.880> indicate<00:30:21.320> that<00:30:21.440> this<00:30:21.600> is<00:30:21.680> not<00:30:21.880> some<00:30:22.120> new<00:30:23.000> new<00:30:23.280> age<00:30:23.560> phenomenon<00:30:24.120> that<00:30:24.240> people<00:30:24.480> are<00:30:24.600> seeing?

00:30:25.360 --> 00:30:33.320
Because<00:30:25.600> if<00:30:25.720> shared<00:30:26.000> death<00:30:26.200> experiences<00:30:26.840> are<00:30:27.000> real,<00:30:27.400> we<00:30:27.520> would<00:30:27.720> expect<00:30:28.080> to<00:30:28.200> find<00:30:28.480> them<00:30:28.960> across<00:30:29.280> cultures,<00:30:29.960> across<00:30:30.360> time,<00:30:31.200> in<00:30:31.320> places<00:30:31.680> where<00:30:31.800> there's<00:30:32.000> no<00:30:32.560> kind<00:30:32.760> of<00:30:32.840> common

00:30:33.320 --> 00:30:36.800

00:30:36.800 --> 00:30:44.800
So,<00:30:36.920> for<00:30:37.040> thousands<00:30:37.480> of<00:30:37.600> years<00:30:37.920> across<00:30:38.240> various<00:30:38.640> cultures,<00:30:39.440> people<00:30:39.760> have<00:30:39.920> had<00:30:40.600> communal<00:30:41.280> experiences<00:30:42.680> with<00:30:43.080> the<00:30:43.280> dying<00:30:43.720> and<00:30:43.840> with<00:30:44.000> the<00:30:44.080> deceased.

00:30:44.800 --> 00:30:51.280
There's<00:30:45.000> actually<00:30:45.240> an<00:30:45.480> 8th<00:30:45.840> century<00:30:46.680> record<00:30:47.400> of<00:30:47.960> a<00:30:48.080> light<00:30:48.520> being<00:30:48.800> witnessed<00:30:49.320> when<00:30:49.440> a<00:30:49.520> particular<00:30:50.000> monk<00:30:50.320> passed<00:30:50.680> away.

00:30:51.280 --> 00:30:58.880
Aboriginal<00:30:51.840> Australians<00:30:52.600> have<00:30:52.840> a<00:30:52.880> tradition<00:30:53.760> where<00:30:53.920> a<00:30:53.960> community<00:30:54.440> gathers<00:30:55.040> to<00:30:55.240> share<00:30:55.560> spiritual<00:30:56.120> experiences<00:30:56.960> during<00:30:57.440> a<00:30:57.520> member's<00:30:58.120> death.

00:30:58.880 --> 00:31:01.520
Dr.<00:30:59.160> Moody<00:30:59.440> talked<00:30:59.720> about<00:30:59.960> the<00:31:00.120> Oracles<00:31:00.640> of<00:31:00.760> the<00:31:00.880> Dead.

00:31:01.520 --> 00:31:09.200

00:31:36.720 --> 00:31:40.831
The<00:31:36.880> notion<00:31:37.360> that<00:31:37.520> we<00:31:37.640> have<00:31:37.880> to<00:31:37.960> dissolve<00:31:38.480> ego,<00:31:38.960> but<00:31:39.440> what<00:31:39.600> does<00:31:39.720> that<00:31:39.920> mean<00:31:40.400> physically?

00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:19.080
Bruce<00:32:10.680> Greyson.<00:32:11.560> And<00:32:11.880> you<00:32:11.920> know,<00:32:12.040> he<00:32:12.240> studied<00:32:13.000> the<00:32:13.840> the<00:32:14.040> aftereffects<00:32:15.400> and<00:32:15.760> the<00:32:16.000> impact<00:32:16.560> of<00:32:16.680> near-death<00:32:17.000> experiences<00:32:17.880> for<00:32:18.800> about

00:32:19.080 --> 00:32:23.600
half<00:32:19.240> a<00:32:19.320> century<00:32:20.240> through<00:32:20.400> his<00:32:20.600> work<00:32:20.880> at<00:32:21.000> the<00:32:21.080> University<00:32:21.520> of<00:32:21.600> Virginia<00:32:22.040> Division<00:32:22.360> of<00:32:22.440> Perceptual<00:32:22.840> Studies.

00:32:23.600 --> 00:32:31.720
And<00:32:24.320> he<00:32:24.560> believes<00:32:25.400> that<00:32:25.600> just<00:32:25.800> the<00:32:25.960> idea<00:32:26.360> that<00:32:26.480> we<00:32:26.640> have<00:32:27.080> this<00:32:27.320> ability<00:32:27.920> or<00:32:28.080> that<00:32:28.360> it<00:32:28.480> exists<00:32:29.160> to<00:32:29.320> consciously<00:32:31.000> not<00:32:31.400> be<00:32:31.600> in

our<00:32:31.880> body,<00:32:32.680> to<00:32:32.840> observe<00:32:33.560> ourselves<00:32:34.240> from<00:32:34.440> above.

00:32:35.080 --> 00:32:39.000
He<00:32:35.200> talks<00:32:35.560> about<00:32:35.880> that<00:32:36.240> and<00:32:36.360> he<00:32:36.480> talked<00:32:36.720> about<00:32:36.880> it<00:32:36.960> when<00:32:37.040> he<00:32:37.120> spoke<00:32:37.320> to<00:32:37.440> us.

00:32:39.000 --> 00:32:45.960
I've<00:32:39.200> talked<00:32:39.480> to<00:32:39.680> thousands<00:32:40.120> of<00:32:40.240> people<00:32:40.480> who've<00:32:40.640> had<00:32:40.800> this<00:32:40.960> experience,<00:32:42.160> and<00:32:42.280> they<00:32:42.400> say<00:32:42.720> that<00:32:42.880> it's<00:32:43.040> more<00:32:43.320> real<00:32:43.560> to<00:32:43.680> them<00:32:44.000> than<00:32:44.200> talking<00:32:44.560> to<00:32:44.680> me<00:32:44.880> is,<00:32:45.600> for<00:32:45.720> better

00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:50.280
or<00:32:46.040> worse.<00:32:47.320> What<00:32:47.520> they<00:32:47.640> tell<00:32:47.920> me<00:32:48.160> is<00:32:48.320> filtered<00:32:48.640> through<00:32:48.800> their<00:32:48.960> brains.

00:32:50.280 --> 00:32:54.880
Our<00:32:50.440> ability<00:32:50.720> to<00:32:50.800> speak,<00:32:51.560> our<00:32:51.640> ability<00:32:51.880> to<00:32:52.000> remember,<00:32:52.640> is<00:32:52.800> all<00:32:53.000> filtered<00:32:53.400> through<00:32:53.560> our<00:32:53.720> brains.

00:32:54.880 --> 00:32:58.360
So,<00:32:55.120> you<00:32:55.280> can't<00:32:55.600> divorce<00:32:56.120> what<00:32:56.240> they're<00:32:56.360> telling<00:32:56.680> me<00:32:56.800> from<00:32:57.160> the<00:32:57.280> functioning<00:32:57.640> of<00:32:57.680> the<00:32:57.760> brain.

00:32:58.360 --> 00:33:02.360
Mhm.<00:32:59.160> Question<00:32:59.520> is,<00:33:00.360> how<00:33:00.520> much<00:33:00.720> of<00:33:00.800> it<00:33:00.960> is<00:33:01.080> controlled<00:33:01.480> by<00:33:01.600> the<00:33:01.720> brain?

00:33:02.360 --> 00:33:07.400
Is<00:33:02.480> the<00:33:02.560> experience<00:33:03.080> itself<00:33:03.520> caused<00:33:03.760> by<00:33:03.880> the<00:33:03.960> brain,<00:33:04.320> or<00:33:04.480> just<00:33:04.720> the<00:33:04.800> remembering<00:33:05.320> of<00:33:05.480> it,<00:33:05.600> or<00:33:05.720> just<00:33:05.920> the<00:33:06.000> telling<00:33:06.360> of<00:33:06.520> it?

00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:12.680
That's<00:33:07.600> difficult<00:33:08.000> to<00:33:08.080> answer,<00:33:09.000> cuz<00:33:09.160> we<00:33:09.240> can't<00:33:09.520> keep<00:33:09.880> talk<00:33:10.040> to<00:33:10.120> people<00:33:10.400> without<00:33:10.640> their<00:33:10.760> brains.

00:33:12.680 --> 00:33:21.200
So,<00:33:12.880> we<00:33:13.000> looked<00:33:13.200> at<00:33:13.400> a<00:33:13.480> very<00:33:13.800> variety<00:33:14.280> of<00:33:15.240> hypotheses<00:33:16.040> that<00:33:16.240> might<00:33:16.800> explain<00:33:17.117> [music]<00:33:17.800> what's<00:33:18.000> going<00:33:18.240> on<00:33:18.360> in<00:33:18.400> the<00:33:18.480> brain<00:33:18.760> that<00:33:18.960> might<00:33:19.280> allow<00:33:19.680> people<00:33:20.000> to<00:33:20.160> have<00:33:20.400> these<00:33:20.560> experiences

00:33:21.200 --> 00:33:24.040
and<00:33:21.400> or<00:33:21.560> remember<00:33:21.960> them<00:33:22.160> and<00:33:22.320> talk<00:33:22.520> about<00:33:22.840> them.

00:33:24.040 --> 00:33:32.280
And<00:33:24.200> most<00:33:24.440> of<00:33:24.520> the<00:33:24.600> simple<00:33:25.360> explanations,<00:33:26.000> like<00:33:26.240> lack<00:33:26.480> of<00:33:26.600> oxygen<00:33:26.960> to<00:33:27.040> the<00:33:27.120> brain,<00:33:28.080> erratic<00:33:28.520> heart<00:33:28.800> rates,<00:33:30.000> uh<00:33:30.200> drugs<00:33:30.520> given<00:33:30.720> to<00:33:30.840> patients,<00:33:31.360> and<00:33:31.440> so<00:33:31.600> forth,<00:33:32.120> they

00:33:32.280 --> 00:33:35.160
all<00:33:32.440> turned<00:33:32.760> out<00:33:32.920> to<00:33:33.000> be<00:33:33.720> not<00:33:34.280> proven<00:33:34.640> by<00:33:34.760> the<00:33:34.880> data.

00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:39.040
The<00:33:35.240> data<00:33:35.480> contradicted<00:33:36.080> all<00:33:36.240> of<00:33:36.320> them.<00:33:37.600> So,<00:33:37.760> we<00:33:37.840> didn't<00:33:38.120> have<00:33:38.360> an<00:33:38.440> explanation.

00:33:39.040 --> 00:33:43.160
Now,<00:33:39.160> that<00:33:39.320> doesn't<00:33:39.680> mean<00:33:40.360> to<00:33:40.480> scientists<00:33:41.400> that<00:33:41.640> there<00:33:41.800> is<00:33:41.880> no<00:33:42.040> explanation.

00:33:43.160 --> 00:33:52.240

After<00:36:53.040> someone<00:36:53.400> has<00:36:53.560> died,<00:36:54.520> they<00:36:54.720> somehow<00:36:55.840> pierce<00:36:56.160> the<00:36:56.280> veil<00:36:57.160> and<00:36:57.640> are<00:36:57.880> able<00:36:58.120> to<00:36:58.280> communicate<00:36:58.840> something.

00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:05.920
It's<00:36:59.600> often<00:37:00.040> a<00:37:00.120> message.<00:37:01.160> It's<00:37:01.440> often<00:37:02.560> um<00:37:02.840> a<00:37:02.960> feeling<00:37:03.440> of<00:37:03.640> of<00:37:03.800> comfort<00:37:04.360> to<00:37:04.520> the<00:37:04.640> person<00:37:04.920> who's<00:37:05.120> living.

00:37:05.920 --> 00:37:08.000
It<00:37:06.080> helps<00:37:06.320> them<00:37:06.480> accept<00:37:07.000> the<00:37:07.080> death<00:37:07.320> of<00:37:07.440> their<00:37:07.560> loved<00:37:07.840> one.

00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:11.400
Now,<00:37:08.240> you<00:37:08.480> might<00:37:08.720> be<00:37:08.880> saying,<00:37:09.840> "That's<00:37:10.400> just<00:37:10.760> a<00:37:10.800> fantasy.

00:37:11.400 --> 00:37:14.680
That's<00:37:11.640> a<00:37:11.680> hallucination<00:37:12.680> or<00:37:12.960> they<00:37:13.160> were<00:37:13.320> dreaming."

00:37:14.680 --> 00:37:22.960
But<00:37:14.760> when<00:37:14.880> we<00:37:15.000> talked<00:37:15.360> to<00:37:15.480> Dr.<00:37:15.840> Swart,<00:37:16.320> we<00:37:16.440> were<00:37:16.600> able<00:37:16.880> to<00:37:17.080> really<00:37:17.400> drill<00:37:17.720> down<00:37:18.240> and<00:37:18.400> have<00:37:18.680> her<00:37:18.880> explain<00:37:20.080> what<00:37:20.320> it<00:37:20.480> was<00:37:20.680> like<00:37:21.360> to<00:37:21.480> be<00:37:21.680> visited<00:37:22.560> by<00:37:22.720> her

00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:27.400
dead<00:37:23.480> husband<00:37:24.360> as<00:37:24.680> clear<00:37:25.400> as<00:37:25.920> day.

00:37:27.400 --> 00:37:31.360
So,<00:37:28.360> it<00:37:28.440> was<00:37:28.560> about<00:37:28.840> 6<00:37:29.120> weeks<00:37:29.400> after<00:37:29.640> he<00:37:29.760> passed<00:37:30.040> away.

00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:33.640
And<00:37:32.040> it<00:37:32.160> was<00:37:32.280> literally<00:37:32.840> 4:00<00:37:33.160> in<00:37:33.240> the<00:37:33.320> morning.

00:37:33.640 --> 00:37:41.440
Like,<00:37:33.760> I<00:37:33.800> was<00:37:34.040> fast<00:37:34.480> asleep,<00:37:34.880> but<00:37:35.000> I<00:37:35.080> do<00:37:35.280> remember<00:37:35.680> I<00:37:35.760> was<00:37:35.920> lying<00:37:36.160> on<00:37:36.280> my<00:37:36.400> left<00:37:36.760> at<00:37:36.840> the<00:37:36.920> edge<00:37:37.080> of<00:37:37.200> the<00:37:37.280> bed<00:37:37.560> and<00:37:38.120> my<00:37:38.320> right<00:37:38.560> shoulder<00:37:38.920> wasn't<00:37:39.200> covered<00:37:39.600> by<00:37:39.760> the<00:37:40.320> the<00:37:40.440> blanket.

00:37:41.440 --> 00:37:46.520
I'm<00:37:41.560> awake<00:37:42.440> and<00:37:42.600> I'm<00:37:42.680> just<00:37:42.880> like<00:37:43.200> looking<00:37:43.520> into<00:37:43.760> the<00:37:43.840> darkness<00:37:44.280> and<00:37:44.360> thinking,<00:37:44.560> "What<00:37:45.040> What<00:37:45.240> was<00:37:45.480> that?"

00:37:46.520 --> 00:37:52.280
And<00:37:46.640> then<00:37:46.840> I<00:37:46.920> can<00:37:47.200> see<00:37:47.600> like<00:37:47.840> the<00:37:48.000> shape<00:37:48.400> of<00:37:48.520> my<00:37:48.680> husband<00:37:49.480> exact<00:37:49.880> life-size<00:37:51.440> in<00:37:51.640> the<00:37:51.760> dark.

00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:55.440
I<00:37:52.320> was<00:37:52.480> like,<00:37:53.200> "Is<00:37:53.360> this<00:37:53.600> my<00:37:54.000> What<00:37:54.280> You<00:37:54.360> know,<00:37:54.560> my<00:37:54.720> seeing<00:37:55.080> this?"

00:37:55.440 --> 00:38:00.280
And<00:37:55.600> he<00:37:55.720> just<00:37:55.880> became<00:37:56.200> clearer<00:37:56.560> and<00:37:56.720> clearer<00:37:57.040> as<00:37:57.160> if<00:37:57.280> he<00:37:57.360> was<00:37:57.920> pushing<00:37:58.280> through<00:37:58.520> something<00:37:58.840> to<00:37:58.960> make<00:37:59.160> himself<00:37:59.640> seen.

00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:03.800
Oh,<00:38:00.360> I<00:38:00.400> just<00:38:00.560> got<00:38:00.720> chills.<00:38:01.160> I<00:38:01.280> could<00:38:01.440> see<00:38:01.600> the<00:38:01.720> outline<00:38:02.080> of<00:38:02.160> his<00:38:02.320> hair<00:38:02.600> and<00:38:02.680> his<00:38:02.840> features.

00:38:03.800 --> 00:38:08.640
Then<00:38:04.000> he<00:38:04.120> sort<00:38:04.280> of<00:38:04.360> dissolved<00:38:04.800> from<00:38:04.960> the<00:38:05.040> top<00:38:05.280> down<00:38:05.520> and<00:38:05.600> the<00:38:05.680> last<00:38:05.920> thing<00:38:06.120> I<00:38:06.200> saw<00:38:06.440> were<00:38:06.520> his<00:38:06.680> shins<00:38:07.040> and<00:38:07.160> his<00:38:07.320> feet<00:38:07.640> and<00:38:07.760> then<00:38:07.880> he<00:38:07.960> was<00:38:08.080> gone.

00:38:08.640 --> 00:38:13.400
I<00:38:08.760> googled<00:38:09.160> in<00:38:09.240> the<00:38:09.320> morning,<00:38:10.440> "Is<00:38:10.600> it<00:38:10.720> possible<00:38:11.080> to<00:38:11.200> see<00:38:11.360> a<00:38:11.400> deceased<00:38:11.840> loved<00:38:12.080> one?"

00:38:13.400 --> 00:38:22.400
And<00:38:14.240> Google<00:38:14.880> said,<00:38:16.080> "60%<00:38:16.880> of<00:38:17.040> older<00:38:17.320> people<00:38:18.880> can<00:38:19.080> have<00:38:19.280> an<00:38:19.400> auditory<00:38:19.840> hallucination<00:38:20.720> after<00:38:20.960> they<00:38:21.080> lose<00:38:21.360> their<00:38:21.520> spouse.

00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:25.200
I<00:38:22.640> know<00:38:23.120> I<00:38:23.200> wasn't<00:38:23.560> asleep,<00:38:24.040> I<00:38:24.120> wasn't<00:38:24.400> dreaming.

00:38:25.200 --> 00:38:29.480
What<00:38:25.480> I<00:38:25.560> saw<00:38:25.960> was<00:38:26.240> present.<00:38:27.280> I'm<00:38:27.440> a<00:38:27.520> scientist<00:38:28.040> that<00:38:28.120> also<00:38:28.400> questions<00:38:29.040> things.

00:38:29.480 --> 00:38:32.200
But,<00:38:29.800> of<00:38:29.920> course,<00:38:30.240> I<00:38:30.320> thought,<00:38:30.800> do<00:38:31.000> I<00:38:31.040> tell<00:38:31.280> anyone<00:38:31.600> about<00:38:31.880> this?

00:38:32.200 --> 00:38:39.640
I<00:38:32.400> honestly<00:38:32.880> don't<00:38:33.120> think<00:38:33.320> I've<00:38:33.440> had<00:38:33.560> a<00:38:33.640> conversation<00:38:34.080> with<00:38:34.240> anyone<00:38:34.640> that<00:38:34.760> hasn't<00:38:35.040> had<00:38:35.240> some<00:38:35.480> kind<00:38:35.840> of<00:38:36.560> experience<00:38:37.760> either<00:38:38.200> of<00:38:38.360> some<00:38:38.800> someone<00:38:39.080> that's<00:38:39.200> passed<00:38:39.480> away

00:38:39.640 --> 00:38:44.360

00:38:44.360 --> 00:38:46.240
I<00:38:44.520> first<00:38:44.800> of<00:38:44.880> all<00:38:45.000> have<00:38:45.160> great<00:38:45.400> respect<00:38:45.880> for<00:38:46.000> Dr.

00:38:55.440 --> 00:39:00.600
you<00:38:55.520> know,<00:38:55.680> transformed<00:38:56.360> the<00:38:56.440> way<00:38:56.600> she<00:38:56.800> approaches<00:38:57.800> the<00:38:57.880> way<00:38:58.000> she<00:38:58.160> practices<00:38:58.600> medicine<00:38:59.480> and<00:38:59.600> the<00:38:59.640> way<00:38:59.800> she<00:38:59.960> lives<00:39:00.160> her<00:39:00.280> life.

00:39:00.600 --> 00:39:05.760
It's<00:39:00.800> incredible.<00:39:01.560> But,<00:39:01.800> also<00:39:02.200> part<00:39:02.520> of<00:39:02.600> me<00:39:02.720> is<00:39:02.880> like,<00:39:03.320> what<00:39:03.560> are<00:39:03.680> we<00:39:03.920> actually<00:39:04.400> talking<00:39:04.840> about?

00:39:05.760 --> 00:39:12.000
What's<00:39:06.000> happening?<00:39:06.880> And<00:39:07.000> she's<00:39:07.240> not<00:39:07.400> the<00:39:07.520> only<00:39:07.880> one<00:39:08.080> that<00:39:08.240> we've<00:39:08.400> spoken<00:39:09.040> to<00:39:09.440> who<00:39:09.600> have<00:39:10.440> had<00:39:10.760> these<00:39:10.920> types<00:39:11.160> of<00:39:11.240> experiences.

00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:17.240
What<00:39:12.200> strikes<00:39:12.800> me<00:39:13.040> about<00:39:13.360> her<00:39:14.240> is<00:39:14.360> that<00:39:14.600> she<00:39:14.880> was<00:39:15.240> such<00:39:15.600> a<00:39:15.640> non-believer.

00:39:17.240 --> 00:39:25.800
She<00:39:17.720> even<00:39:18.080> said<00:39:18.520> in<00:39:18.680> a<00:39:18.720> different<00:39:19.080> interview<00:39:20.120> that<00:39:20.400> she<00:39:21.160> has<00:39:21.400> suggested<00:39:22.280> treatment<00:39:23.200> in<00:39:23.400> the<00:39:23.520> past<00:39:24.120> and<00:39:24.280> she's<00:39:24.520> been<00:39:24.640> a<00:39:24.720> part<00:39:25.080> of<00:39:25.240> teams

who<00:39:25.880> have<00:39:26.040> suggested<00:39:26.640> treatment<00:39:27.560> for<00:39:27.800> people<00:39:28.160> who<00:39:28.320> have<00:39:28.520> believed<00:39:29.200> the<00:39:29.320> things<00:39:29.720> that<00:39:29.920> she<00:39:30.080> has<00:39:30.240> experienced.

00:39:31.560 --> 00:39:35.000
Like<00:39:31.720> she<00:39:31.880> said,<00:39:32.200> I<00:39:32.320> would<00:39:32.480> have<00:39:32.640> put<00:39:32.840> myself<00:39:34.000> in<00:39:34.120> the<00:39:34.200> hospital.

00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:37.840
So,<00:39:35.200> what<00:39:35.360> does<00:39:35.480> that<00:39:35.680> mean<00:39:36.000> about<00:39:36.240> the<00:39:36.360> nature<00:39:36.720> of<00:39:36.840> reality?

00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:42.000

00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:46.880
Where<00:39:42.280> is<00:39:42.480> that<00:39:42.880> line?<00:39:44.040> And<00:39:44.280> how<00:39:44.520> do<00:39:44.600> we<00:39:44.760> know<00:39:45.200> if<00:39:45.440> we're<00:39:45.680> crossing<00:39:46.280> it?

00:39:46.880 --> 00:39:53.480
The<00:39:46.960> real<00:39:47.160> question<00:39:47.640> is,<00:39:47.960> and<00:39:48.120> I<00:39:48.240> bring<00:39:48.480> this<00:39:48.680> up<00:39:49.000> whenever<00:39:49.360> I've<00:39:49.480> had<00:39:49.600> a<00:39:49.720> reading,<00:39:50.560> been<00:39:50.720> to<00:39:50.880> a<00:39:50.920> psychic,<00:39:51.720> tried<00:39:52.080> some<00:39:52.320> energy<00:39:52.760> healer.

00:39:53.480 --> 00:40:01.760
It<00:39:53.640> seems<00:39:53.920> that<00:39:54.000> with<00:39:54.200> after-death<00:39:54.640> communication,<00:39:56.080> it's<00:39:56.280> almost<00:39:56.640> always<00:39:56.880> positive,<00:39:57.600> which<00:39:57.800> makes<00:39:58.120> me<00:39:58.280> feel<00:39:58.640> like,<00:39:59.480> statistically<00:40:00.400> speaking,<00:40:01.520> there's

00:40:07.160 --> 00:40:13.280

00:40:16.880 --> 00:40:22.200

00:49:25.880 --> 00:49:28.960
It<00:49:26.080> must<00:49:26.320> have<00:49:26.480> sorted<00:49:26.920> itself<00:49:27.400> out."

00:49:28.960 --> 00:49:35.400
Only<00:49:30.160> to<00:49:30.200> wake<00:49:30.440> up<00:49:30.560> the<00:49:30.680> next<00:49:31.000> morning<00:49:31.400> to<00:49:31.520> say,<00:49:31.920> "Wait<00:49:32.160> a<00:49:32.200> second,<00:49:33.120> there's<00:49:33.400> something<00:49:33.800> unresolved<00:49:34.640> here."

00:49:35.400 --> 00:49:43.920
So,<00:49:35.680> what<00:49:36.000> if<00:49:36.160> we<00:49:36.280> start<00:49:36.560> to<00:49:36.680> pay<00:49:36.880> attention<00:49:37.440> to<00:49:37.560> those<00:49:37.920> subtle<00:49:38.480> messages<00:49:39.280> that<00:49:39.520> pop<00:49:39.880> into<00:49:40.280> our<00:49:40.480> head<00:49:41.160> as<00:49:41.440> not<00:49:41.800> just<00:49:42.360> random<00:49:42.880> chance,<00:49:43.600> but

00:49:43.920 --> 00:49:47.360
actually<00:49:44.480> signs<00:49:45.000> that<00:49:45.160> we're<00:49:45.320> receiving<00:49:45.960> something?

00:49:47.360 --> 00:49:49.160
Okay,<00:49:47.640> so<00:49:47.920> first<00:49:48.200> of<00:49:48.280> all,<00:49:48.520> I<00:49:48.600> love<00:49:48.880> that.

00:49:51.640 --> 00:49:55.120
And<00:49:51.840> also,<00:49:52.200> when<00:49:52.440> you<00:49:52.560> think<00:49:52.800> about<00:49:53.240> just<00:49:53.480> for<00:49:53.680> all<00:49:53.880> of<00:49:53.960> history,<00:49:54.360> right?

00:49:55.120 --> 00:49:57.920
There's<00:49:55.320> all<00:49:55.440> different<00:49:55.720> kinds<00:49:55.920> of<00:49:56.000> people<00:49:56.400> in<00:49:56.520> every<00:49:56.760> culture,<00:49:57.120> every<00:49:57.320> society.

00:49:57.920 --> 00:50:00.000
Like,<00:49:58.240> go<00:49:58.400> back<00:49:58.640> as<00:49:58.760> far<00:49:59.000> as<00:49:59.120> you<00:49:59.240> want<00:49:59.440> to<00:49:59.520> imagine.

00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:04.760

00:50:04.760 --> 00:50:09.760
Go<00:50:04.920> back<00:50:05.160> even<00:50:05.400> farther.<00:50:05.880> Go<00:50:06.000> back<00:50:06.240> to<00:50:06.360> like<00:50:06.680> when<00:50:06.840> you<00:50:06.920> learned<00:50:07.160> about<00:50:07.360> like<00:50:07.520> the<00:50:07.680> the<00:50:07.840> Tigris<00:50:08.280> and<00:50:08.400> Euphrates<00:50:08.960> River,<00:50:09.320> right?

00:50:09.760 --> 00:50:12.560
Like,<00:50:10.080> Mesopotamia.<00:50:10.920> Think<00:50:11.120> about<00:50:11.360> what<00:50:11.520> humans<00:50:11.920> were<00:50:12.040> like.

00:50:12.560 --> 00:50:19.440
There<00:50:12.720> were<00:50:12.880> human<00:50:13.400> beings<00:50:13.880> at<00:50:14.080> that<00:50:14.280> time<00:50:14.640> walking<00:50:15.000> about,<00:50:15.520> going<00:50:15.840> to<00:50:15.960> market,<00:50:16.440> whatever<00:50:16.720> they<00:50:16.800> were<00:50:16.880> doing,<00:50:17.360> making<00:50:17.720> babies,<00:50:18.280> getting<00:50:18.600> into<00:50:18.840> fights.

00:50:19.440 --> 00:50:22.880
I<00:50:19.520> don't<00:50:19.720> know.<00:50:20.360> Lots<00:50:20.560> of<00:50:20.640> things.<00:50:21.320> Discovering<00:50:21.920> fire.

00:50:26.240 --> 00:50:30.719
There<00:50:26.320> were<00:50:26.440> always<00:50:26.680> people<00:50:26.960> who<00:50:27.120> were<00:50:27.280> better<00:50:27.640> laborers,<00:50:28.520> better<00:50:28.760> builders,<00:50:29.280> better<00:50:29.560> artists,<00:50:30.120> right?

00:50:30.719 --> 00:50:37.200
[music]<00:50:30.760> And<00:50:30.880> there<00:50:31.000> were<00:50:31.240> always<00:50:31.600> people<00:50:32.200> who<00:50:32.720> held<00:50:33.000> a<00:50:33.080> place<00:50:33.360> in<00:50:33.480> society<00:50:34.120> where<00:50:34.320> they<00:50:34.480> saw<00:50:34.920> things<00:50:35.320> that<00:50:35.520> didn't<00:50:35.960> yet<00:50:36.240> exist.

00:50:37.200 --> 00:50:42.160
And<00:50:37.400> those<00:50:37.640> people<00:50:38.000> have<00:50:38.120> been<00:50:38.280> called<00:50:38.520> prophets,<00:50:39.360> they've<00:50:39.560> been<00:50:39.680> called<00:50:40.000> shamans<00:50:40.640> in<00:50:40.800> indigenous<00:50:41.280> communities.

00:50:42.160 --> 00:50:44.474
So,<00:50:42.240> there's<00:50:42.480> always<00:50:42.920> been<00:50:43.480> those<00:50:43.840> kinds<00:50:44.160> of<00:50:44.280> differences.
