Carl Sagan, an acquantance of my grandfather, knew about near death experiences and said he longed to believe them, but didn't have sufficient evidence.
Tis The Only Wheigh Too 0b_Tame The CrowN
Yes, maybe 👍
Can't wait to check out your channel, I love your vibe! I'm an O&M in Cali and I want to hike with you and your wife lol. Thank you for the positive video, I'd love to show more to my students. :)
@@katrinner2998 what part of California? Would love to hear more about your world, but you need more videos 😊
Death of the human meat suit means life begins
I don’t care about proof. I know it’s real.
Didn't Trump do all the same stuff you're criticizing Kamala for? Ad hominems for example...
@@politicrackedpodcast9868 no. The attacks on Kamala Harris were on her actions, lack of action, policy, failures, and relevant to her failure as a vice president. During the debate, Kamala Harris avoided answering questions, lied continuously for an hour and a half about Trump, and contributed nothing of value or substance.
The arsonist yells fire?
One would have to be pretty naïve or ignorant to believe that Trump is the arsonist. It is usually those who believe their television who makes such statements. It is the current administration, Biden Harris, that has allowed the border to descend into chaos and idiotic policies made by Biden Harris, but lead to record inflation after failed energy policies were implemented. A country is where it is and the nation is on fire because of the last 3 1/2 years, which is quite a contrast to the four years before.
@@Handsomeblindguy Biden is a disaster too
❤
Do you believe the 2020 election was stolen?
you sound stupid
Trump is full of shit He has no arguments only sound bites He’s the ultimate in post truth
From an outsider’s perspective, this seems right on point, and the Democratic Party especially with Kamala at the head looks like a party of sophistry and in the long run a likely threat to open democratic values. However I cannot understand how Trump is viewed as an alternative, or even “saviour”. I cannot understand the belief in this apocalyptic version of America that can only be remedied by this one “much maligned” man. His entire career reads like a cautionary tale on the excesses of the post-modern nihilistic age, down right to the religious fervour his followers have for him. And on top of that, he lies spuriously, and for deeply pathological reasons. By and large, he is viewed globally as incompetent and a joke, yet this doesn’t seem to penetrate the fantasy of the strong man image. And why does he need Americans to be afraid?? If the house is on fire talk about how to fix it, why meander and rant about countless red herrings in a bid to get people riled up? It’s all strange looking in. Appreciate finding your channel though and I respect your opinion.
All Kamala did was lie and make yrump out to be s big bad man . If kamala wins by fraud again ill be kinda happy because all her voters are gonna suffer and this batch will be women and then we can really start over thos game
Why does the imagination of other people suffering make you happy?
I would make the exact same argument of the Republican Party. A man who claims infants are being murdered, that Mexico would pay for the wall, that dogs and cats are being eaten by Haitians, that he won the election in 2020, that he is in favor of the American people even though he repeatedly supports corporations over the citizens in the world. You are extremely naive if you keep believing the lies that you hear. After the impeachment of Nixon, it was believed that the Republican Party was through. They found a way to keep alive by creating dissonance in our society. Trump has no morals and cannot quote a single Bible verse. He had affairs while his wife was in labor. All of your rhetoric here does not make any of Trumps lies true.
I have heard cases of hospital putting the cards high up see if anyone could read them and other cases where they didn't get permission for it.
What is the best documented case of someone seeing outside their perceptual range?
There isn't one
@@KynaruHelio a better and more honest answer would be that you don’t know if there is a purpose or not. However, there is an option of doing the best we can and for the world. The beginning of knowledge is when we admit, we do not know. Insisting we do, keeps us from growing. as I said in my video, we should not be so arrogant as to claim to know the purpose of life, but we should avoid traps of nihilism.
I borrowed a friend’s extra wheelchair one day to experience life from that angle; it was definitely educational! Blindfolding ourselves for a day would go a long way to increasing understanding. Just walking down a sidewalk and getting hit in the face with low hanging tree branches ought to raise awareness. I tend to smile at strangers I catch eye contact with and I have wondered how I include a blind person in a basic human interaction( I’ve said hello but, understandably, haven’t received replies). What do you think is the best way to address someone in passing? I always think about the isolation when I see someone w/o site.
@@Here_Today_ there is always that moment where we are not sure if we are the ones being addressed so I often say are you talking to me? Lol if you know their name, make sure to use it otherwise stand in front of them and be obvious. I imagine in passing by it is difficult to catch the attention of a blind person for this reason. Yes, I would love it if my friends and family took a day to be blindfolded for empathy training. Gaining the perspective of others is crucial in understanding. Just wondering, but how long were you in the wheelchair?
@@Handsomeblindguy in the chair for only 1 day…not nearly long enough to fully understand the inherent challenges. I did have limited experience of access/ lack of access, the sideways stares, and challenges in just (perceived) simple operations. Stay handsome!
Thanks for the video Edgar
@@Cam-vg7lb thank you for taking time to watch my video. I appreciate it.
Hell yeah language creates reality
No way is it BJJ. It is Judo OR any other STANDING style. I cannot believe that you nominated a style which is useless except on the floor.
Nice Video Brother 🙏🌟🙏
If we die and it all ends, it means life is like a game of Monopoly: you win all the properties, railroads, and houses but in the end, everything just goes back in the box and it doesn't matter--there is no purpose to life because it would mean nothing nor would it matter when you die.
if there is a God what is the penalty DEATH since we all are sinners not life after death, death
@@robertmaynard4265 you are describing a belief about the nature of humanity as outlined in Christianity. This however, is a belief but not knowable. that God exists is a reasonable conclusion, however, the rest is based in a belief.
I truly believe death will be just like before you were born. Norhing and no existence. This is the likely reality. NDE's are just brain activity before it shuts down permanently. It's not easy to accept, particularly for those who have suffered all their life, it doeant seem fair.
It's not just an atheist perspective you said it yourself it's a scientific perspective as well believe whatever you want to believe if it helps you get over your fear of death but the truth is whether you want to believe it or not when you die you cease to exist some people a lot of people I would imagine have a hard time accepting that but it's the truth even in the Bible the Old Testament God declared himself for you are dust and dust you shall return to do you remember where you were before you were born all the time that passed all the people that lived and died near-death experiences are exactly that near death those people didn't actually die scientific Studies have been done on cadavers using a CAT scan to monitor electrical activity in the brain after someone has been pronounced dead and they know that there's electrical activity in the brain for up to 6 hours so you may have a vivid dream and experienced unexplained phenomenon such as extrasensory perception or Out of Body Experience but make no mistake about it as your brain cells begin to suffocate and die everything will eventually go black and you will return to the darkness from which you came before you were born
@@donaldyanson8144 yes, that is one belief that many people hold. However, the most honest answer is what I give at the end of the video.
@@Handsomeblindguy I am an agnostic atheist I don't believe in any man-made concepts of a god but the most honest answer that anyone can give is to Simply say I don't know you are right about that but the observable physical material evidence seems to assert to the fact that we cease to exist
The most logical and intellectual comment on here.
I'm a guy in my 40es. Some years ago, i underwent a throat surgery. The doctor told me that i might dream a bit. Then he gave me anesthesia, and then everything became black, and then quickly after that, i woke up, yelling hysterically, "An angel, an angel, she's an angel!" and then i saw the staff looked visible annoyed and distraught by me, and they were rolling me away. I don't actually remember seeing anything at all, though, only my own reaction. Shorthly, after that, i became severely depressed, so much so that i was so close to calling someone to come get me and give me some sedatives before i would do something stupid to myself. It's hard to explain other than i could absolutely just not stand being in my body. It felt horrible being alive and being in this body. Some months after that, it slowly went away, and i feel almost completely normal now.
I find Near Death Experiences to be very interesting because there seems to be something going on there. There is evidence to support there is something going on. What it is - not sure, but something seems to be going on there.
@@goodmedicine2600 yep, there are thousands and thousands of cases that contribute as data giving evidence for survival of consciousness after death.
The people that love us will miss us.🎉😊
@@queenelizabeth4242 well that is what Keanu Reeves would say and he is not wrong
When I hear, "could it be...", it means he really has no idea what he is talking about. 🤔
@@jqpublic08 one of the first steps in personal growth is admitting your faults. You are well on your way to becoming a better person. Keep at it.
Do we get to eat laugh have sex drink a beer? If not that's not heaven 😢
@@Robert-p7j9m all I know is, I have not heard any complaints. 😊
@@Handsomeblindguy Most dodgingly clever response I've read in quite a while. Smooth! 😅
I think exploring the idea of where we came from is a good place to start searching for answers.I think if we can learn more about where we came from,it can teach us more about where we will go.We also have a highly developed sense of language and its been said that language is tied directly to conscious thought.The more developed the language,the more developed our conscious thought.In my mind,the idea that we are the only beings with a highly developed language, lends itself to an idea of a spiritual journey and that we are the product of real life magic not done by some illusionist but by someone or some thing that created us.
@@TrollRaper69 well said, and it is good to hear others exploring these ideas beyond the caricature and parody of God and heaven that scoffers create to reduce down these ideas. They are well worth exploring.
Enjoyed your observations. Agnosticism is a good place to start. Then, if you earnestly yearn to know the truth of God's existence that will happen for you, and without subjecting yourself to the assumed authority of others. It is also possible to know God's existence directly but that is more rare. The foolish are the close minded with the hubris to claim God doesn't exist.
@@odysodys1098 I suspect that the aversion to exploring these ideas has more to do with personality much as it does influencing political preference.

I'm legally blind and we shouldn't have to run away.
I like how "something that cant be explained" reflexively turns into "AHA! Its something supernatural" check mate atheists 😏
The doctor whom I refer to that refutes is on you tube.
Ps love your video handsome blind man.
I have just oddly enough been rebuffed by a doctor who is an atheist and refutes any evidence of an afterlife stating that scientific evidence refutes this fact when instead you have just said that even the scientific evidence comes from Carl Sagan a highly respected science proffessor.So this is to me is confirmation that I can now put to this arrogant self posturing individual with his lies and bs.Doctors like him seem to think they have the monopoly on such matters even though I told him about Dr eben Alexander's own experience of the afterlife, this other doctor said it was for profit from his books.This suggests to me that even another high profile doctor must be lying about this subject in order to make himself rich.How arrogant is this idiot to refute Dr ebens own near death experience,when you consider that Dr Ebon has filled huge halls around America charging ticket prices because people are happy to pay a small charge in order to hear the truth.And so the other doctor to whome I am referring is basically saying that Dr eben Alexander is a charlatan I would presume by duping all these many thousands of paying public seekers of the truth.This mans arrogance needs serious questioning for suggesting such accusation don t you think.God bless you Dr Ebon Alexander for the enlightenment that the world so needs especially at a time such as now.amen ❤.
Some are real, and some are just hoaxes.
Eternal consciousness is the real hell
Total BS. Carl Sagan did not believe in an afterlife, whenever the subject is brought up in interviews with him he repeatedly says that there is no evidence for it. He knew it was an illusion by the brain, like all rational people realize after looking at the actual science. And no, there is zero scientific evidence, NDE:s are certainly not proof of anything other than a disfunctional brain winding down. No real controlled scientific experiment has ever proven an afterlife and NOONE has seen these symbols or cards near the ceiling, zero people, in decades. The lastest study where it failed was the Sam Parnia's Aware II study. You are very misinformed and flat out lying. Since you make this claim please reference and cite the peer reviewed study in which Carl Sagan's test showed that they could see the placed symbols accurately by "astral-projecting" during a controlled scientific test. Provide the link here.
Test not performed under scientific conditions, like the test Sagan suggested. Not to say the experience is not rea but not the same conditions l. No quantitative evidence provided just hearsay.
The vast and varied evidence points to an afterlife
Not many people come back to tell us because they pass on. I know some of the people that have an NDE are genuine and are telling the truth. Unanimously they shared their experience as a beautiful thing and not dreadful. That explains consciousness exists and is eternal. Perhaps all our ancestors or people we’ve known that passed on and left their bodies , don’t feel the need to communicate with us. Perhaps they don’t want to intervene in our lives or our life lessons. It’s also possible they do communicate with us and we are unable to tune in to what they are communicating with us as we haven’t honed in that skill. Perhaps our beliefs that life ends when we die and there’s no after life. Personally I feel there’s more to life than this mundane 3D existence. When we think about the universe we live in doesn’t it leave you in awe? It’s fascinating. Whatever it is I love listening to Anita Moorjani who is someone that had NDE. If resonates deeply with me and it feels very genuine. ❤
Im a deist so i believe god created the universe and then stopped intervening so that i can all play out.
The idea scares the hell out of me.. But I did hear a story where a man had passed away & felt so at peace that after being revived he fell into a deep depression.
