Two people in my family had an NDE, both recalled the same experience. Two totally different persons for age, culture and religious activities. I also recall my grand-grand mother asking me to step aside (i was around her bed in her last days) because she had to talk with her husband... that was dead from many years. What happen after we die is by far the most important subject of our existence not only from a selfish point of view but because gives weight/purpose/meaning to existence itself, without an afterlife "all those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain"

When you're about to cross beyond the void veil... Reflect carefully. "Before I start, I must see my end. Destination known, my mind's journey now begins. Upon my chariot, heart and soul's fate revealed. In time, all points converge, hope's strength resteeled. But to earn final peace at the universe's endless refrain, we must see all in nothingness... before we start again." --Diamond Dragons (Armageddon's Ballad) 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨

Please continue your work. I wish for there to be something after death and for death to not be the end of our existence.

Thank you for keeping us up dated Dr. Parnia

I can't believe I've been following your research since 2010. This is absolutely incredible. Every time I see more results, I get so excited but at the same time nervous. Nervous in the sense that maybe you're starting to prove that our mind is just the brain and that nothing continues after death. But also excited because you might be pointing to the possibility that it might continue. Do you think that consciousness continues after we permanently die?

Think about the life review which happens in NDEs. What is the point of that if our future reads extinction?

There are some documented cases of the person who has died watching the resuscitation taking place from a point in the room? Our consciousness is separate from our brain, this is how we observe our own thoughts.

@@michaelgrapka9377My dad had this experience. Mary C Neale had this experience; she is a pediatric spinal surgeon, and it changed her life forever. Everybody should look up her case if you’re interested in this topic and experience. Absolutely fascinating to listen to her experience after drowning from a kayaking accident.

Following since 2007. I'm sure he'll nail it. Can't come soon enough

My father “died” and was brought back to life several times. He had vivid experiences he shared as stories - so I grew up fascinated by the idea of OBE/NDE. I have been reporting on your lab’s findings in my Mind Brain Behavior course since the start of the pandemic, when I first found your research. I then found Dr. Donald Hoffman describing his case against reality on a podcast soon after and immediately emailed him to ask how his theory could explain the OBE/NDE experiences you have studied and report on. I am thrilled to see him in your latest video release. Is consciousness fundamental? Fascinating to contemplate a paradigm shift. This is all quite valuable and incredible research and I hope to advance my own understanding further, as well as begin a research program with my university. Thank you for taking this topic seriously and for working hard to bring it into the public’s AWARENESS.

Thank you Dr. Parnia and staff. How i wish i could be a part of such groundbreaking research! Blessings 🙏

So much of it is very exciting. The comment about being able to access different realities sounds like a long bow to draw. I'll be interested in watching and reading more to see how they come to that conclusion.

It will just show human cannot find answers before or beyond death.

I had an out of body experience when i was 8 years old. I was born with congenital heart disease. I had open heart surgery when i was 1 week old and again when i was 8 years. During my OBE when i was 8, i remember i " came out" from my chest area. The thinking part of me slowly left my chest and i began to float metaphorically with my back facing the Ceiline so i was looking down. I had 360° vision. It was as natural as anything and was amazing. I saw my own body, my mum, dad and the nurses. Interestingly i couldn't hear clearly what was being said, but i wasn't interested anyway. As I reached the top of the ceiling of the room I remember nothing. I wasn't in control of where i was going or how i was moving but that didn't worry me. I knew where i was going would be a good place. I also felt as if someone was with me. Again i felt calm and happy. I've no idea who was with me at that time. I still don't know now for sure, but it might have been the girl who died aged 8 after a heart transplant went wrong for her. I can't remember if she had died at that time or before, I'm 33 now so this was a long time ago. I've never forgotten her. When i got to the top of the room, everything went black. However the first thing I asked my mum when i woke up was " why did they put me on the ceiling to take my drains out". I remember it as clear as if it happened yesterday.

This is very important work! Well done to Sam and the team

Very interesting! Thanks for the link to the paper - and for doing such groundbreaking research!

Good work Sr.Sam Parnia

I can’t explain it but I remember being shot in the forehead during combat. I remember thinking, wow, there really is life after death. I then had a fear that it was just my brain dying and that I was shortly going to pass out. Next thing I know I’m back here again.

"Despite marked cerebral ischemia (Mean rSO2 = 43%) normal EEG activity (delta, theta and alpha) consistent with consciousness emerged as long as 35-60 minutes into CPR. " Doesn't that mean that NDE are still "caused" by the brain and further indicate that consciousness requires a brain and it's not "transcendental" ?

Thank you, very clarifying. Have you also studied different consious states in meditation and how it through that, is possible for man to "know God"?

Interesting question. As a Ch’an (Zen) meditator, and as I think many others can probably attest, there are “awakening” experiences that do happen and for a moment one can “see” without encumbrances or limited concepts. Pretty eye-opening moment that you never forget. I notice that there are characteristics of NDE’s and these meditation experiences that have very strong correlations. I would even venture to say that you can consider these meditation experiences (anyone can have) as a kind of waking preview, in some ways, to NDE. There is a book “The Zen Teaching of Huang Po” by Blofeld containing a Zen teaching that elucidates the unraveling of human concepts. Meditation in this vein (even better with help from a wise teacher/friend) can lead to having some of these experiences if your heart and intention are in the right place. Cheers!

Good afternoon, I'm using Google Translate, sorry if I see a lot of translation errors. Can anyone tell me how many people got the figures that Sam Parnia left in a place visible only for a person floating on the hospital ceiling to see? I couldn't find the results anywhere I looked on the internet. 

@Novastar.SaberCombat

Parnia claimed that there were quite a few; many more than a mere handful. I don't know precisely how many instances there were, but he's not exactly some inexperienced, unvetted hack or what not. Besides, what he's claimed that patients noted isn't exactly beyond the realm of reality, because there's a difference between being bound by a body (mortality) and being more of a wisp of energy. However, there's no way to INFLUENCE much of anything when you are solely wavelengths and waves alone. Therefore, crossing beyond the void veil is a bit of a double-edged sword.

So if people are not hallucinating after death, what does that mean for people who come back and say that they saw a religious figure?

Still can’t say yet, if ever. But if dying brains are lit up, not like they are hallucinating, but are lit up like they are having a conscious experience, what conclusion are we to draw from that? Seems to me like we are going somewhere.

He is not being helpful in determining the important question about existence of soul after death. Originally when he was interviewed 6 years ago he used the word NDE saying after the brain shuts down there are NDE.....now he says there are neural signatures during these experience.

So NDEs dont provide evidence of life after death

so they gonna suck the life out of this

"They got access to other dimensions of reality as well" It's very disappointing to hear such a clearly educated, intelligent person involved in so much scientific research saying something so patently ridiculous.

Secondo me sei tu, che ignori tante cose. Per studiare la coscienza non si può avere un pensiero/approccio positivista riduzionista, serve conoscere i contenuti dell' esperienza e le azioni che li hanno realizzati, il materialismo non ha accesso alla soggettività!!! Concordo solo sul fatto che costui è un uomo molto intelligente, ed aggiungo ha un approccio pluriculturale. Tu non sai di cosa parli.

Nothing about this is clear or obvious. We probably still need decades of research to fully comprehend some of this phenoma. You should think twice before ridicule other people's thoughts on this matter.

On the contrary. Since so many NDE experiences bear witness to the experiencer accessing other dimensions , how refreshing is it to hear a doctor being open minded enough to admit this.

"Just because you do not see something doesn't mean it isn't there." --Starshaa (DD1) If you don't understand the science behind someone's decades of work, you might not want to claim that something is "patently false" when you have no evidence one way or another. Parnia, on the other hand, has been grinding at the data and experiments for almost a decade (at the least).
