I feel like many of us are recognizing, aligning with Who We Are and our “part” in this Evolving Play. And right now this Play fortunately has Marjorie in it. Very grateful.
Marjorie, fantastic conversation, bravo for being at the forefront of these dynamic changes in the materialistic scientific community. Your passion radiates throughout the entire interview. ❤
Big shout out to Natalia - I think you're a wonderful interviewer and I look forward to your conversations with various researchers. I valued this conversation very much, just recently I was having a discussion with friends regarding the validity of NDEs and was met with a lot of doubt, thank you for sharing your wisdom Marjorie!
I love that Majorie triangulates what Bernardo, Federico and Advaita Vedanta are saying. Kashmiri Shaivism is a new one by me too. Great interview as the ones by TOE Curt Jumaingal are a bit too technical for my mid curve brain. Thank you again. Really nice talk
I always sense the energy of a strong desire to convince people of alternates to materialism, especially from scientists who have opened up to alternative perspectives. You are pushing against ego and dogma Thanks for setting the truth free❤
"ego and dogma" - some of the science-bashing in this space is overdone. Science was a big step up from the Abrahamic religions, in terms of open-mindedness. You have a much better chance of convincing a scientist of idealism than you have of convincing a fundamentalist Christian or Muslim.
@Raphael4722 Yes you are so right. Bernardo Kastrup and Donald Hoffman are examples of this. The major religions have really missed an opportunity because the Mystics in most mainstream religions expressed a wisdom that aligns with science, spiritual traditions and resonates with elements of their teachings. I also think Quantum Physics is a scientific mind blower and is so relevant to spirituality
It’s not a case of the drop that we are reincarnating to another life on earth. It is, rather, a case of the ocean continuing to reincarnate as endlessly more drops. In death we regain our awareness of our connection to the entire web of consciousness. The reason children have experiences suggesting reincarnation is that they have not yet fully differentiated from the eternal web of consciousness, and since they do not yet have a perception of separation from the web, they are still more permeated by and connected to lives on the other side. We tend to interpret death and rebirth as an individual returning to another life, but this is only due to our own sense of separation from the eternal web of consciousness and our inability to see beyond the constraints of time.
So in other words, it’s not that we, the drops, are returning to the ocean after death, it is that the ocean is creating another drop and focusing itself on the new drop. A case of ownership. It is the ocean that is continuing to reflect itself in drops, not that we are returning anywhere, and we were never a separate thing in the first place. Is this what you mean? It’s an interesting way to look at it, given the hundreds of NDEs I’ve watched all indicate it feels like we are returning to home. This could be the “what is really happening behind the curtain”. 🤔
That’s exactly what I mean. We are always already connected to the entire field of consciousness. We are not separate entities, like genies in a bottle, that are recycled in some sort of ethereal recycling plant, to be refilled into new bottles.
@@danielbearhunley Glad to have been of help. I used to believe in the conventional representation of reincarnation, and became somewhat obsessed with the topic. The penny finally dropped for me that consciousness is an undivided whole from which we are never separated. We are not genies in bottles that are decanted into new bottles.
Great stuff!! The documentary After Death covers the case of the woman’s aneurism operation as well as other incredible experiences. The reminder being that there is no death only transformation of awareness because ultimately, you are an eternal/infinite being using consciousness to “dream/simulate” a physical life.
Right! It is wonderful how she talks! Still, we humans do have the ability for neuroplasticity in our brain. We each have unlimited possibilities. This scholarly lady has trained her brain. However, this knowledge of the consciousness and love as the essence of life, is available to anyone without a specific education. I think some old buddhist wisdom have had this knowledge for a long time. A man/woman of the street has a freedom but does he/ she recognize it? A simple example, I have had many experiences in my life. When older, I longed for the good relationship with a man I had in my youth. Then I realised that the beauty of the realitionship is still accessible to me. It is about consciousness. A loving relationship, it's experience, is not tied with a specific person. It is in consciousness. I have access to the experience at all times. Us westerners, we identify with the physical form. Oh, I had so much love with this person. You get my meaning.
Yet another fantastic interview! That woman is on fire! I wish I’d have known her back in my neuroscience days. I don’t understand the argument that NDEs are experienced by only a few so they must just be edge cases. So what?! If the Pam Reynolds case was the only one we had, it would still be reason to call a brain-based theory of consciousness into question. It only takes one black swan to disprove an all-swans-are-white theory. Having said that, I do wish there was more discussion in general about the filler theory and its limitations. There is evidence for it given all of these experiences, but it is also true that stimulating the brain in certain ways can elicit memories/feelings/etc. So we need to account for both categories of phenomenon.
What a wonderful video and great guest/interviewer! We really need more credibility in this space so people will start taking these ideas seriously. Thanks for all you do!
Amazing. Awesome! Not heard of such clear thinking and presentation on the subject before. Boy, xoxo coherent. Even the interviewer is simply excellent! Some similarities with my own views of reality in the universe are stunning!!!!
They say science is simply catching up to spirituality. We’ve always known our power and have tried to conceptualize it. Slowly getting there, but it’ll never even scratch the surface of the experience.
@@clubadvSome people. It is a thing that has been said. Who seems completely irrelevant to me, but perhaps that’s because I agree. In any case, it’s true. Science needs rigorous testing and “proof” to accept things that we can often intuitively feel. Science is forever behind the current experience because it works to quantify, qualify, and validate past experiences. It’s the limitation of the tool, but it is a helpful tool nonetheless.
I died 3 years ago. I did not get the heavan I was promised but the one I needed. Total peace and serenity. I did get saved but I don't fear death at all any more.
@ I could still think. Dim not dark. I make or may not have had arms and legs. I felt something wrong and moved my consciousness to my head. It was finally at peace. Like a Sunday morning when you could get out of bed but don't need to, or feeling ill for a long time and suddenly felling better. ❤️
@ it was a medical opiate overdose. After an operation. Not on purpose. It gave me complete peace with death. Its VERY hard to tell people that it will all be ok without coming across as a mad person. For those that are worried about death. I was running as fast away from it as possible before I dried then after this I'm happy to live and want to live. I'm happy to die I'm just not in a rush. Hope this helps.
Your guest is captivating and intoxicating...like Allen Watts and Bernardo Kastrup, logic that is like an antidote for the poisonous disinformation we face in 2025
Tom Campbell earlier in his life was a scientist who also had obe experiences and then became interested in studying consciousness.Tom also came to the conclusion that consciousness is fundamental. He spent the next thirty years collecting data on the subject and then wrote a trilogy titled " My Big Toe" Toe meaning theory of everything. Tom also was involved with Bob Monroe who is now deceased. Bob started the Monroe Institute, which using hemi-sync technology and meditation practices to help people to have an OBE experience. Bob Monroe also wrote two books on his experience and one on others experiences at the Monroe Institute.
i have some modicum of respect for campbell but totally and fundamentally reject a lot of his conclusions, namely his adherence to linear models of reincarnation and his notion that deceased loved ones who appear in mediumship cases and ndes are fabrications of mind at large who dont have free will -- the latter especially is repulsive to me and flies in the face of evidence from after death communications. but to be charitable to him he also admits that he's not infallible.
@@afterceasetoexist So we end up in heaven, just chilling after we die? How long do we stay there? What is there to do? How is life like? Do we learn new things? Is life interesting?
A beautiful interview and explanations. Thank you 🙏. The Pratyabhijnahrdayam (The Recognition of Our Own Heart ... editor Joan Ruvinsky), is an awesome book on the sutra Marjorie mentions. The sutra is one of the foundational texts of Kasmiri Shaivism, and its message is stunning. It is one of my desert island books. 😍
While I rejoice at the scientific studies that are challenging naive physicalism, the findings nevertheless raise numerous questions that are seldom asked: So what if consciousness precedes neurons? Many of the great religious traditions have always taught and believed this in one or other fashion. Consider, for example, Teilhard de Chardin's widely quoted aphorism "We are not physical beings having a spiritual experiences, but spiritual beings having a human experience." Such insights, while presumably true, ultimately beg several questions: Is reality fundamentally pantheistic or panentheistic? What are we here for, if for any purpose at all? Is each of us merely an instantiation of a wider consciousness whose sole purpose is to experience itself or enjoy itself in different formats? What if I find no impulse in myself to meditate or do anything to experience these deeper realities, but am content to live my life as best I can by being as open and helpful to others as I can be? Am I then somehow a less advanced human being? The potential for stratifying society into those who "know" and those who don't --- ie for some form of Gnosticism -- seems immense. As far as I am concerned, I am not ultimately on this earth to be happy, though I may often be blessed with being happy. I am not ultimately here to pursue having a mystical or out-of-body experience, though I am open to the possibility that it may happen. I am primarily here to serve others in whatever way I am called to. These other matters are secondary.
As individual Personalities, we surely have something to offer the collective family and the source of Life. A pursuit of higher understanding and moral service, on the path to having a relationship with the source of Life.
@steveflorida5849 I agree as a general principle. However, I think that such a pursuit should not be regarded as the norm for everyone to follow. It is the calling of some who should pursue it with humility, knowing the experience is not an end in itself, but that service is the more important goal.
I have a couple of videos with William Brown, quantum biologist. Who discusses some interesting points of memory recollection that suggests yes! If you can create similar circumstances to the event then the memory will flow easier. Effectively, retrocausally, picking up the phone and communicating with yourself across time... But the phone number is the configuration, likely alot more than just the brain state or feeling. Probably right down to configuration of biology and many other factors.
Thank you so much for another brilliant interview. So wonderful to know about the Recongnition Sutras and how they are so aligend with modern idealism. I was touched by the Reynolds case shared where she felt a strong pull. I am a Lucid Dreamer and have felt this some times. Now I understand why. I was also impressed with the explanation for the cases of something happening in a near death experience being 18 or 20%, also because people don't remember it. It reminded me the a case of a young man who almost died, after a motorcycle accident. When he came back he shared with his parents that he had seen a door that was closed. He didn't remember that anymore. it was only a few years later that his parents were recalling that, giving him back his memory of the experience. I was just now thinking that it might be why some people, even though not remembering or being conscious of their astral experiences, chnage their lives, become religious or seekers - something in them was awaken but not fully expanded in a conscious way.
It’s not coming exactly from your five senses it’s a lower astral medium, in another dimension that is very close to the physical world. I have meditated for 40 years and have been out of my body many many many times. I’ve been in many planes of existence not just the astral. I’ve come back into my body and have the experience that I was looking at the room exactly as the room appears and even see it better than in the physical world, and discovered that my physical eyes are closed! All they should be able to be captured on some instrumentation since it’s still within the electromagnetic range. I’ve heard of a Native American man driving a truck who was absolutely blind but he could see everything. This is not uncommon!
How long did it take you to experience these other states or realms of consciousness? I've been practicing meditation and stilling the mind, but I've not experienced anything but some interesting sensations or a sense of calming emptiness. Anything you would like to share about your process I would enjoy hearing.
I was an interstellar cockroach in my last previous life, before that I was Jimmy Carter and before that I was Adolf Hitler's sister's telepathic cat. Now I am studying to become an enlightened trans -dimensional serial killer. Isn't that amazing ?
There are 112 ways outlined in the Bhairava Vijnana Tantra. My wish for all is that they read about these ways, find one that resonates the most, then practice it continuously. Sutra is the maximum qualitative compression of language. It is only effective using Sanskrit intonation, because the vibrations are visceral. The closest thing to it in the English language is poetry. The difference between poetry and Sutra is the degree of compression primarily, and the intonation quality secondarily, which is the vibratory analog of the vibrationless. Any sound that is of maximum compression is closest to the vibrationless. Silence is infinite compression; therefore, it is the perfect Sutra. Noise is infinite non-compression, and it can be thought of as the areas void of coherence between coherent states of perfect silence. Noise occurs at intervals, and only thin slivers of pattern principles emerge from the points of infinite compression between the oscillation points of infinite non-compression. The point of controlling intonation is to induce specific vibratory states. This is how Sanskrit intonation was developed (based on physical vibrations that occur in the body during the utterance of the sound, and their associated subjective states and effects). Because of this, the language is capable supporting the creation of Sutras, the creation of which is difficult but not impossible using other languages, so long as the sounds chosen are intonated viscerally, but the creation of which are simple in Sanskrit, since any string of letters can be a Sutra by definition. I highly recommend the book "The Garland of Letters" by Sir John Woodroffe to anyone looking to expand their understanding of Advaita Vedanta, Kashmir Shaivism, and the Sanskrit language and its extra-dimensional utility.
Coming from materialistic and scientific background as well, I honor that we are trying to explain first person realization to the science community. Nevertheless, I also understand that this brings the mind only as far as it can go. “Melting back into the one” is so clear and “mind blowing”, that applying classic scientific approaches to explain this seems more and more meaningless to me. Without first person realizations, these efforts most often just result in complex academic discussions (called philosophy).
I loved the interview, thank you. I keep hearing that people are met by their parents etc. when they die. But, what if they didn't get along with their parents? At what age do you remain, after you die? Are they all old and crippled? And if there's an reincarnation, who is then waiting for you? Who is waiting for a young child who has just passed away? What would they think of this experience? These are the questions absolutely NO ONE gives answers to. Everyone is staying with the easy and 100.000x heard stuff.
For me, your comment is the most interesting of all and even more interesting than the video itself. Let me share a version and vision: imagine the person sleeping and seeing a dream with characters - what happens with those characters when the sleeper awakes? Probably, characters cease to exist but fully remain in the memory of the sleeper. So, one goes to sleep again, one can continue watching the same characters as it has full information on them. What age will they be? Any that the sleeper can imagine or have information about. The only one who is waiting for you is the sleeper; the things one wants to tell you, he will tell with those characters you get along. The characters would think of their experience exactly what they should think being themselves in the presented circumstances. Hope this vision will give you some thoughts.
Prof. Woollcott you have exceptional eyes (even in video) I see the life force in your eyes. You are in your true element, you would deal with this subject 24/7 if it was possible. You are 90% sure you understand this existence and what true reality is, GOD bless you.
In Brazil, we have Spiritual Centres that offer assistance to spirits/consciousness who are stuck on realms of ignorance because they were not told about after death. Professor Marjorie made an important point about preparing ppl for their passing. It's not "spiritual" as such, but the uneducated consciousness may struggle on its return to whatever source we belong if it doesn't have a map.
That is so interesting. Might you have a name for this type of assistance or a link to one of the centers? I would like to do more research on the subject!
For those interested, Tom Campbell is also researching consciousness from the view of a post-materialist, in this case as a physicist. It’s so nice to see high level educators and researchers broadening their horizons in this direction. It’s more difficult, from the standpoint of academia, not to take people with such backgrounds serious.
Stories about personal experiences of the extended mind often contain evidence that these experiences are very persuading and thus lead to some paradigm shifts. However, we know very well from the data that something that seems obvious and powerfully compelling may also be partially or completely wrong. The experiences can be a complex mixture of components coming from completely different sources and the new paradigm may be not much better than the old one.
My mother hemorrhaged and died giving birth to me, she had a NDE and watched it from outside her body like this lady talks about. I think it traumatized her and she never could love me. I mean I dont blame her, but that trauma became generational
She should visit Lex Friedman podcast for additional advanced unpacking of concepts that she's trying to discuss, it'll be a great match. Very interesting podcast thank you 👍
I haven't had an NDE, or, an OBE. I am 70 YO and started studying hundreds of NDEs, as well as quantum physics programs on YT. Primarily studied the best physicists on YT. It was QP that allowed me to see what we are. Or, what we are not! One other thing I changed in my life was to become a Baha'i. The founder had an OBE, and gained his wisdom from the OBE. Such as, we are one human people, we must unite as such. Men and women are equals. All forms of racism, bigotry and bias has to stop. End gross poverty and end excessive wealth. And more, we always have and always will, all move towards the Creator. No heaven/hell fantasy.
Marjorie is amazing, her open mindedness to Truth is exactly what humanity needs to break the chains of mechanistic materialism. A collective expansion of consciousness is the cure.
Hospital settings for people leaving and educating physicians towards being with people who are leaving is a beautiful idea of Ram Dass. After all, as he said, “death is absolutely safe.” I recommend the book: “Being Ram Dass”
I am Indian Hindu and our scriptures always taught us that everything is consciousness ( chetna) . We all are connected and these kind of stuff, here we believe that consciousness is god and even we are god ( aham bhramasmi ) . I used to think all of these things were illogical and stupid but i again want to question consciousness
I was an interstellar cockroach in my last previous life, before that I was Jimmy Carter and before that I was Adolf Hitler's sister's telepathic cat. Now I am studying to become an enlightened trans -dimensional serial killer. Isn't that amazing ?
@Davinci9580 as an hindu don't you think hindu spiritualisr in sub continent have lost the seriousness in spritual pursuits as it's majority westerners are the one leading in meditation and consciousness experience
A lot of us without the privilege of collegiate study found this out through the public library and have been paying mind to the studies for years. People called us crazy for saying the same thing! 😂
There are experiments done where electrodes are dropped into the temporo-parietal junction, wherein the experimentors could manually adjust the height of the person floating above themselves during surgery. This suggests a materialist nature of consciousness, but also that consciousness can be existent outside of the brain? I still struggle to interpret these studies.
If Hameroff the Penrose theory is correct then consciousness imprints itself at a point on the pre-space time matrix, so to a certain degree the neurons are maintained, coherence depends on frequency and the resonance that some may define as God.
19:54 Being a Sanatani Brahmin i want to make a correction...there is nothing like non-dual Advaita Vedant...because advait itself means non dual...morever advait vedanta is older and kashmiri shavisim has borrowed from it.
Watched this. Slept. Woke up. Wrote this down: Truth is only possible on Earth, where things are solid matter, and thus capable of being objectively permanent across time. Thus, Christians were right to intuit that God is a prerequisite for truth. As in, there has to be a nucleus of something unchanging, for a world to accrete around, in order for anything to be "true", in contrast to the ever-shifting evervoid, where personal and collective will decide whatever is true, but only for that moment; only while a group or individual perceives it to be true. Objective truth is not possible without a world made of objects. As in, constrained by perceptual boundaries, each separate and distinct from each other. We perceive the shape/role first, then its innards are filled in later as we gain the capacity to explore deeper. Scientific instruments don't uncover truth; they nail a single possibility out of many down into being the correct one (like the double-slit experiment). So even Earth's objective truth is still only true for here and now.
Well, anethetics (including xenon) work on a paramecium in the same dose ratios as humans. They don't have neurons. Whatever "goes out" under anesthesia isn't neuron activity.
O kay, I'll actually say it! Synchronicity! I'll get to that in a minute, but let me explain the circumstances first, I turned this on as a break from watching the disturbing political news in the US. I am deeply involved in the study of philosophy of mind, idealism and, particularly the relationship between the pure Quantum State as an image that is isomorphic to Consciousness itself. What stunned me, was the fact that the 2 books that I am referencin, in a well-imagined, but yet unwritten paper or book on this phenomena, are: irreducible by Federico faggin, and The Idea of the World by Bernardo Kastrup. The two books that have apparently, provided a core understanding for her also. How this be? I'm going with synchronicity. Which is: an event that is acausal, not likely to occur, but has a clear meaning to the Experiencer of the event. (My definition). Materialists Will bring up the possibility Of confirmation bias, but I think that is a cop-out. Yet, These things happen. They are inexplicable and they are ineffable. These two books are literally on my desk right now, I'm integrating each concept into a unified structure, How likely is this to occur by chance?
@@slartibartfast1268 We exist inside biology. we are bounded in it but, after reunion with the whole of consciousness there aren't anymore boundaries. The only thing that every Idealist agrees on is the fundementality of consciousness. That is becoming obviously true to anyone who has looked at the disperate lines of scientific and philosophical reasoning that evolved since the beginning of the twentieth century. Everyone is speculating about what happens beyond that boundary.
I've never had to the patience to get anywhere with meditation, doesnt seem very powerful tbh... But I've done Ayahuasca many times and left my body, and had many strange experiences 1) been to another dimension 2) seen through walls 3) met the dead. I also am scientifically trained. I am not sure what the mechanism is, but its clear to me that reality is not as it appears.
Hi @chizzlemo3094 Two things resonated with me of the three experiences you listed. 1. Meeting persons who are already dead 2. Able to see through the wall. The "dimension" issue, I cannot get into because we both do not have a common understanding of what "another dimension" entails. I wrote to you because, although you had these indisputable experience with ayahuasca, you do not know the mechanism. Scientists who are researching these also do not know the precise mechanism. But scientists, cautious as we expect them to be, are limiting their research using these psychedelics into very severe mental health issues that are not treatable with conventional drugs. And they are achieving astounding results. These researchers are in King's College, London, Johns Hopkin, and Havard. Please, check them out. These psychedelics exact their effects not directly through the anatomical body but on the total human. The current problem is that science does not have available to it the schematics and the workings of the total human, yet one of them, an anthropologist named Carlos Casteneda from the University of California, did produce a book with the detailed explantion almost thirty years ago. It is titled Fire From Within. Over the last almost thirty years, I have been able to research the missing pieces to produce a logical, coherent account of the underpinnings of every single thing that Prof Woollocatt talked about today and your two experiences. In the book, you are most likely to find the underpinnings of what you refer to as "other dimesion" but I will rather you be more specific. The accounts in my book are extremely detailed but simple to follow. We will however await the arrival of the Physics/Mathematics that will be capable of expressing and verifying it...perhaps in the next 50 years. My book is on amazon if it interests you. Title: The Compass - An Account Of Our Existence From The Standpoint Of The Whole Human Form. Author: Dr Joseph Idowu OGUNYEMI Good luck hunting
I don't know Sanskrit per se, but my language (Marathi) is derived from it. AFAIK, the "hu" in hetuhu is the verb. Like "is" but not exactly - with a touch of 'itself'. So at least if somebody said it casually, I'd interpret it as more like Freedom (swatantra - here it might imply freedom from bodily preoccupations) of conscience/consciousness (chit) itself is the cause (hetu - can also mean motive) of mastery/attainment (siddhi) over the world (vishva). But yes, I'm familiar enough with these words that I'd understand them in conversation with about as much difficulty as understanding an unfamiliar accent.
That is the exact question I asked in Santa Barbara CA, i had a GREAT JOB, a nice apt on the Mesa a bluff 243 steps above the ocean. I was 33 yrs old, I had lived a dream life up to that point, far better, more fullfilling, challenging, etc than any lige I had expected to live. A ski Instructor/ski bum really, living the mountain dream aol year. Running my construction company bldg homes, well mostly roofs in CO but then homes in AZ AND CA... big ritzsi houses, 10,000 sqft homes of decadence. Anyhow a lovely job making planty of $$ and yet I felt deep inside "i should be happier" but I didnt know why. I got a book that had resonated deep truth in me years before called The Power of Now... i remembered it since Tolle had just released another book A New Earth basically it extrapolated on previous concepts of presence being fundamental to enlighteent, like the pass code to enter heaven right here is the midst of you/me/us/everyone.
Acquaint yourself with the inner realms of liquid light that permeates all existence. Meditate often. Visualize breathing white light to facilitate healing or cultivate a deeper connection to a person you put in focus. Stay strong, shine, you are loved ❤️
In my case, having a first-person experience of an NDE DID get in the way of trying to get a degree in neuroscience and psychology because I was so frustrated in being force fed the materialist view of the body when all I wanted to study was the full consciousness aspect of reality. The insistence by UofA that I had to have a foundation of cellular biology before studying consciousness was off-putting to me.
My first comment seems to have disappeared into the bit bucket, so I'll try again: I'm surprised the following question and related ones weren't addressed: If we don't need eyes to see, why do we have them?
Our Self is bound by ego, and a false sense of association to our physical vehicle. Once both of these qualities disappear, opens our eye of the collective concious, that is observing all of us all the time. The NDEs are nothing but a glimpse from the vantage point of collective concious, through our yet to be forgotten bodily recognition.
If consciousness is fundamental in that physicality derives from it, what are her thoughts on the formation of the universe, solar system, earth and birth of consciousness as we know it?
Everyone is crying over Tic Toc... Meanwhile... My very Best Friend in this whole world who saved me when my Daddy passed away.. and when my son moved 7 hours away for school.. who never once left my side and she licked away all my tears on countless nights and gave me the most unconditional love I have ever known.. never asking one thing in return... Is dying.. My dog.. no my family member Gracie Marie is suffering so much and will be leaving this cruel money motivated world because I only had 12.000 dollars to try and save her and once my savings and every penny was gone the blood sucking vets stopped trying to save her too!!! So tonight when everyone is crying over the loss Tic Toc... I'm crying over the loss of the Best soul I've ever known in this world. My shadow that has kept me from breaking for 8 years is suffering while I have to watch as she passes away ... Because when you don't have money no one who can help has a heart!!! This evil world is so backwards. 😢 I am ready to leave this world! 😢
Prof. You were given the gift of experience of reality, when you feel the spirit world this life of physical illusion drops in importance the things that are time limited by decay will fade away like the illusion it is, a song says it, love is real, not fade away! The conscious/soul that's running the meat puppet by use of the brain is reality. Spirit world is reality.

"ego and dogma" - some of the science-bashing in this space is overdone. Science was a big step up from the Abrahamic religions, in terms of open-mindedness. You have a much better chance of convincing a scientist of idealism than you have of convincing a fundamentalist Christian or Muslim.
@Raphael4722
Yes you are so right.
Bernardo Kastrup and Donald Hoffman are examples of this.

It’s not a case of the drop that we are reincarnating to another life on earth. It is, rather, a case of the ocean continuing to reincarnate as endlessly more drops. In death we regain our awareness of our connection to the entire web of consciousness. The reason children have experiences suggesting reincarnation is that they have not yet fully differentiated from the eternal web of consciousness, and since they do not yet have a perception of separation from the web, they are still more permeated by and connected to lives on the other side.
We tend to interpret death and rebirth as an individual returning to another life, but this is only due to our own sense of separation from the eternal web of consciousness and our inability to see beyond the constraints of time.
This comment has just fundamentally changed my spiritual beliefs. Thank you.
💯
So in other words, it’s not that we, the drops, are returning to the ocean after death, it is that the ocean is creating another drop and focusing itself on the new drop. A case of ownership. It is the ocean that is continuing to reflect itself in drops, not that we are returning anywhere, and we were never a separate thing in the first place.
Is this what you mean? It’s an interesting way to look at it, given the hundreds of NDEs I’ve watched all indicate it feels like we are returning to home.
This could be the “what is really happening behind the curtain”. 🤔
That’s exactly what I mean. We are always already connected to the entire field of consciousness. We are not separate entities, like genies in a bottle, that are recycled in some sort of ethereal recycling plant, to be refilled into new bottles.

Glad to have been of help. I used to believe in the conventional representation of reincarnation, and became somewhat obsessed with the topic. The penny finally dropped for me that consciousness is an undivided whole from which we are never separated.
We are not genies in bottles that are decanted into new bottles.
Great stuff!!
The documentary After Death covers the case of the woman’s aneurism operation as well as other incredible experiences.
The reminder being that there is no death only transformation of awareness because ultimately, you are an eternal/infinite being using consciousness to “dream/simulate” a physical life.
What a mind! And what an amazing communicator!
Exactly!
For me, as an English learner, it is a great conversation to listen several times.
Right! It is wonderful how she talks! Still, we humans do have the ability for neuroplasticity in our brain. We each have unlimited possibilities. This scholarly lady has trained her brain. However, this knowledge of the consciousness and love as the essence of life, is available to anyone without a specific education. I think some old buddhist wisdom have had this knowledge for a long time. A man/woman of the street has a freedom but does he/ she recognize it? A simple example, I have had many experiences in my life. When older, I longed for the good relationship with a man I had in my youth. Then I realised that the beauty of the realitionship is still accessible to me. It is about consciousness. A loving relationship, it's experience, is not tied with a specific person. It is in consciousness. I have access to the experience at all times. Us westerners, we identify with the physical form. Oh, I had so much love with this person. You get my meaning.
Yet another fantastic interview! That woman is on fire! I wish I’d have known her back in my neuroscience days. I don’t understand the argument that NDEs are experienced by only a few so they must just be edge cases. So what?! If the Pam Reynolds case was the only one we had, it would still be reason to call a brain-based theory of consciousness into question. It only takes one black swan to disprove an all-swans-are-white theory. Having said that, I do wish there was more discussion in general about the filler theory and its limitations. There is evidence for it given all of these experiences, but it is also true that stimulating the brain in certain ways can elicit memories/feelings/etc. So we need to account for both categories of phenomenon.
What a wonderful video and great guest/interviewer! We really need more credibility in this space so people will start taking these ideas seriously. Thanks for all you do!
Amazing. Awesome! Not heard of such clear thinking and presentation on the subject before. Boy, xoxo coherent. Even the interviewer is simply excellent! Some similarities with my own views of reality in the universe are stunning!!!!
Passionnant ! Quelle grande chercheuse ! Et l'intervieweuse est très pertinente dans ses interventions (et ses réactions sont adorables).
They say science is simply catching up to spirituality. We’ve always known our power and have tried to conceptualize it. Slowly getting there, but it’ll never even scratch the surface of the experience.
Who are "they"?
@@clubadvSome people. It is a thing that has been said. Who seems completely irrelevant to me, but perhaps that’s because I agree. In any case, it’s true. Science needs rigorous testing and “proof” to accept things that we can often intuitively feel.
Science is forever behind the current experience because it works to quantify, qualify, and validate past experiences.
It’s the limitation of the tool, but it is a helpful tool nonetheless.
I died 3 years ago. I did not get the heavan I was promised but the one I needed. Total peace and serenity. I did get saved but I don't fear death at all any more.
Were you still able to think, or was it just silence? Was there any visual experience of forms, or was it just empty? 😮❤
@ I could still think. Dim not dark. I make or may not have had arms and legs. I felt something wrong and moved my consciousness to my head. It was finally at peace. Like a Sunday morning when you could get out of bed but don't need to, or feeling ill for a long time and suddenly felling better. ❤️
@Erebusdidnothingwrongish thank you. I'm going to do my best to have an OBE while still alive so I can see for myself that we survive 🪷🕉🙏😁
@ it was a medical opiate overdose. After an operation. Not on purpose. It gave me complete peace with death. Its VERY hard to tell people that it will all be ok without coming across as a mad person. For those that are worried about death. I was running as fast away from it as possible before I dried then after this I'm happy to live and want to live. I'm happy to die I'm just not in a rush. Hope this helps.
How's your experience
Your guest is captivating and intoxicating...like Allen Watts and Bernardo Kastrup, logic that is like an antidote for the poisonous disinformation we face in 2025
Are you SCIENTIST?
@hendrysurabaya6348 no I am not....is that important?
You mean Alan Watts?
@mattbak2466 sorry if I spelled it wrong, I will try to do better.
Tom Campbell earlier in his life was a scientist who also had obe experiences and then became interested in studying consciousness.Tom also came to the conclusion that consciousness is fundamental. He spent the next thirty years collecting data on the subject and then wrote a trilogy titled " My Big Toe" Toe meaning theory of everything. Tom also was involved with Bob Monroe who is now deceased. Bob started the Monroe Institute, which using hemi-sync technology and meditation practices to help people to have an OBE experience. Bob Monroe also wrote two books on his experience and one on others experiences at the Monroe Institute.
I have had several OBEs at the Monroe institute. They are highly recommended.
i have some modicum of respect for campbell but totally and fundamentally reject a lot of his conclusions, namely his adherence to linear models of reincarnation and his notion that deceased loved ones who appear in mediumship cases and ndes are fabrications of mind at large who dont have free will -- the latter especially is repulsive to me and flies in the face of evidence from after death communications. but to be charitable to him he also admits that he's not infallible.
@@afterceasetoexist So we end up in heaven, just chilling after we die? How long do we stay there? What is there to do? How is life like? Do we learn new things? Is life interesting?
Fantastic interview thanks yet again!
Yes indeed. Excellent conversation. Much gratitude out to both of you 🙏
Yes my NDE experiences support the depth of your sharing here. Thank you for this important and grounded discussion. ❤
Thanks!
A beautiful interview and explanations. Thank you 🙏. The Pratyabhijnahrdayam (The Recognition of Our Own Heart ... editor Joan Ruvinsky), is an awesome book on the sutra Marjorie mentions. The sutra is one of the foundational texts of Kasmiri Shaivism, and its message is stunning. It is one of my desert island books. 😍
I love this! 1:03:53 I came to this realization over this past year and it is so freeing and loving.
Great interview.
I believed this since I was a teenager, the older I get, the more I believe it still.
Awesome, credible insights on a prickly topic. Really fascinating and inviting to further research.
Such a great interview. Thank you!
Thank you 😊... She is really bridging with this sharp scientist mind, Science and Spirituality...😊😊
Beautiful, well informed and inspiring conversation. Thank you. 🙏
Such an articulate and clear thought process ❤ Professor you are a Yogin from past lives
What ???
WOW< WOW
While I rejoice at the scientific studies that are challenging naive physicalism, the findings nevertheless raise numerous questions that are seldom asked:
So what if consciousness precedes neurons? Many of the great religious traditions have always taught and believed this in one or other fashion. Consider, for example, Teilhard de Chardin's widely quoted aphorism "We are not physical beings having a spiritual experiences, but spiritual beings having a human experience."
Such insights, while presumably true, ultimately beg several questions: Is reality fundamentally pantheistic or panentheistic? What are we here for, if for any purpose at all? Is each of us merely an instantiation of a wider consciousness whose sole purpose is to experience itself or enjoy itself in different formats? What if I find no impulse in myself to meditate or do anything to experience these deeper realities, but am content to live my life as best I can by being as open and helpful to others as I can be? Am I then somehow a less advanced human being? The potential for stratifying society into those who "know" and those who don't --- ie for some form of Gnosticism -- seems immense.
As far as I am concerned, I am not ultimately on this earth to be happy, though I may often be blessed with being happy. I am not ultimately here to pursue having a mystical or out-of-body experience, though I am open to the possibility that it may happen. I am primarily here to serve others in whatever way I am called to. These other matters are secondary.
Good questions!
As individual Personalities, we surely have something to offer the collective family and the source of Life. A pursuit of higher understanding and moral service, on the path to having a relationship with the source of Life.
@steveflorida5849 I agree as a general principle. However, I think that such a pursuit should not be regarded as the norm for everyone to follow. It is the calling of some who should pursue it with humility, knowing the experience is not an end in itself, but that service is the more important goal.
I have a couple of videos with William Brown, quantum biologist. Who discusses some interesting points of memory recollection that suggests yes! If you can create similar circumstances to the event then the memory will flow easier.
Effectively, retrocausally, picking up the phone and communicating with yourself across time...
But the phone number is the configuration, likely alot more than just the brain state or feeling. Probably right down to configuration of biology and many other factors.
Thank you so much, dear Natalia!
Probably the best episode
WOW. I really enjoyed this episode! Just a deep interest in this!! ♥️🙏🙏😃👏👏
Right brain technologies on the way😊😊 we co-creators, healers and teachers... Consciousness/light language is the language our Temple/construct
I’ve been doing meditation for a while and a lot of what she’s saying aligns well with what nice experienced
Thank you so much for another brilliant interview. So wonderful to know about the Recongnition Sutras and how they are so aligend with modern idealism. I was touched by the Reynolds case shared where she felt a strong pull. I am a Lucid Dreamer and have felt this some times. Now I understand why. I was also impressed with the explanation for the cases of something happening in a near death experience being 18 or 20%, also because people don't remember it. It reminded me the a case of a young man who almost died, after a motorcycle accident. When he came back he shared with his parents that he had seen a door that was closed. He didn't remember that anymore. it was only a few years later that his parents were recalling that, giving him back his memory of the experience. I was just now thinking that it might be why some people, even though not remembering or being conscious of their astral experiences, chnage their lives, become religious or seekers - something in them was awaken but not fully expanded in a conscious way.
It’s not coming exactly from your five senses it’s a lower astral medium, in another dimension that is very close to the physical world. I have meditated for 40 years and have been out of my body many many many times. I’ve been in many planes of existence not just the astral. I’ve come back into my body and have the experience that I was looking at the room exactly as the room appears and even see it better than in the physical world, and discovered that my physical eyes are closed! All they should be able to be captured on some instrumentation since it’s still within the electromagnetic range. I’ve heard of a Native American man driving a truck who was absolutely blind but he could see everything. This is not uncommon!
How long did it take you to experience these other states or realms of consciousness? I've been practicing meditation and stilling the mind, but I've not experienced anything but some interesting sensations or a sense of calming emptiness. Anything you would like to share about your process I would enjoy hearing.
Great! Me too. Now perhaps time to move on from ‘experiences’
Even Helen Keller said she had internal sight and was in/out of her body. It is a supersensous experience!
I was an interstellar cockroach in my last previous life, before that I was Jimmy Carter and before that I was Adolf Hitler's sister's telepathic cat. Now I am studying to become an enlightened trans -dimensional serial killer. Isn't that amazing ?
There are 112 ways outlined in the Bhairava Vijnana Tantra. My wish for all is that they read about these ways, find one that resonates the most, then practice it continuously.
Sutra is the maximum qualitative compression of language. It is only effective using Sanskrit intonation, because the vibrations are visceral. The closest thing to it in the English language is poetry. The difference between poetry and Sutra is the degree of compression primarily, and the intonation quality secondarily, which is the vibratory analog of the vibrationless. Any sound that is of maximum compression is closest to the vibrationless.
Silence is infinite compression; therefore, it is the perfect Sutra. Noise is infinite non-compression, and it can be thought of as the areas void of coherence between coherent states of perfect silence. Noise occurs at intervals, and only thin slivers of pattern principles emerge from the points of infinite compression between the oscillation points of infinite non-compression.
The point of controlling intonation is to induce specific vibratory states. This is how Sanskrit intonation was developed (based on physical vibrations that occur in the body during the utterance of the sound, and their associated subjective states and effects). Because of this, the language is capable supporting the creation of Sutras, the creation of which is difficult but not impossible using other languages, so long as the sounds chosen are intonated viscerally, but the creation of which are simple in Sanskrit, since any string of letters can be a Sutra by definition.
I highly recommend the book "The Garland of Letters" by Sir John Woodroffe to anyone looking to expand their understanding of Advaita Vedanta, Kashmir Shaivism, and the Sanskrit language and its extra-dimensional utility.
Something I was looking for. I'm so thankful my friend.
@@megalomind You are most welcome. It is my wish that the texts and associated practices prove fruitful in your experience as they have in mine 🙏
Coming from materialistic and scientific background as well, I honor that we are trying to explain first person realization to the science community. Nevertheless, I also understand that this brings the mind only as far as it can go. “Melting back into the one” is so clear and “mind blowing”, that applying classic scientific approaches to explain this seems more and more meaningless to me. Without first person realizations, these efforts most often just result in complex academic discussions (called philosophy).
And yet anecdotes are the lowest form of evidence. I watch with open mind but ...
@@clubadv But once there are 1000s of anecdotes with similar characteristics…. Surely that must carry some weight.
I loved the interview, thank you. I keep hearing that people are met by their parents etc. when they die. But, what if they didn't get along with their parents? At what age do you remain, after you die? Are they all old and crippled? And if there's an reincarnation, who is then waiting for you? Who is waiting for a young child who has just passed away? What would they think of this experience? These are the questions absolutely NO ONE gives answers to. Everyone is staying with the easy and 100.000x heard stuff.
For me, your comment is the most interesting of all and even more interesting than the video itself. Let me share a version and vision: imagine the person sleeping and seeing a dream with characters - what happens with those characters when the sleeper awakes? Probably, characters cease to exist but fully remain in the memory of the sleeper. So, one goes to sleep again, one can continue watching the same characters as it has full information on them. What age will they be? Any that the sleeper can imagine or have information about. The only one who is waiting for you is the sleeper; the things one wants to tell you, he will tell with those characters you get along. The characters would think of their experience exactly what they should think being themselves in the presented circumstances. Hope this vision will give you some thoughts.
Prof. Woollcott you have exceptional eyes (even in video) I see the life force in your eyes. You are in your true element, you would deal with this subject
24/7 if it was possible. You are 90% sure you understand this existence and what true reality is, GOD bless you.
In Brazil, we have Spiritual Centres that offer assistance to spirits/consciousness who are stuck on realms of ignorance because they were not told about after death. Professor Marjorie made an important point about preparing ppl for their passing. It's not "spiritual" as such, but the uneducated consciousness may struggle on its return to whatever source we belong if it doesn't have a map.
That is so interesting. Might you have a name for this type of assistance or a link to one of the centers? I would like to do more research on the subject!

For those interested, Tom Campbell is also researching consciousness from the view of a post-materialist, in this case as a physicist.
It’s so nice to see high level educators and researchers broadening their horizons in this direction. It’s more difficult, from the standpoint of academia, not to take people with such backgrounds serious.
Donald Hoffman is another one worth checking out too!
Well interviewed Natalia, good job
There is a fantastic translation and commentary on The Recognition Sutras by Christopher Wallis. It was my favorite read of 2024.
Stories about personal experiences of the extended mind often contain evidence that these experiences are very persuading and thus lead to some paradigm shifts. However, we know very well from the data that something that seems obvious and powerfully compelling may also be partially or completely wrong. The experiences can be a complex mixture of components coming from completely different sources and the new paradigm may be not much better than the old one.
My mother hemorrhaged and died giving birth to me, she had a NDE and watched it from outside her body like this lady talks about. I think it traumatized her and she never could love me. I mean I dont blame her, but that trauma became generational
Great interview
She should visit Lex Friedman podcast for additional advanced unpacking of concepts that she's trying to discuss, it'll be a great match. Very interesting podcast thank you 👍
Very enjoyable content 👍🏿
I haven't had an NDE, or, an OBE. I am 70 YO and started studying hundreds of NDEs, as well as quantum physics programs on YT. Primarily studied the best physicists on YT. It was QP that allowed me to see what we are. Or, what we are not! One other thing I changed in my life was to become a Baha'i. The founder had an OBE, and gained his wisdom from the OBE. Such as, we are one human people, we must unite as such. Men and women are equals. All forms of racism, bigotry and bias has to stop. End gross poverty and end excessive wealth. And more, we always have and always will, all move towards the Creator. No heaven/hell fantasy.
RBE would do that but not enough know about it to make it happen. Instead, robots will change the economy but not a good. A resource based economy.
No afterlife then?
😂😂😂😂
Very good interview
Natalia is so adorable 🌹
Marjorie is amazing, her open mindedness to Truth is exactly what humanity needs to break the chains of mechanistic materialism. A collective expansion of consciousness is the cure.
Consciousness is fundamental!!❤
absolutely marvelous, thank you
Hospital settings for people leaving and educating physicians towards being with people who are leaving is a beautiful idea of Ram Dass. After all, as he said, “death is absolutely safe.”
I recommend the book: “Being Ram Dass”
Amen. The body is a vehicle towards freedom :)
I am Indian Hindu and our scriptures always taught us that everything is consciousness ( chetna) . We all are connected and these kind of stuff, here we believe that consciousness is god and even we are god ( aham bhramasmi ) . I used to think all of these things were illogical and stupid but i again want to question consciousness

This is a great podcast
Thank you for this video.
I am reminded again that Marjorie Woollacott is such a clear and forceful speaker.
A lot of us without the privilege of collegiate study found this out through the public library and have been paying mind to the studies for years. People called us crazy for saying the same thing! 😂
Just because she is educated doesn't mean she is right. There's absolutely no evidence for consciousness outside of body.
For those who never experienced this gift, it's almost impossible to understand.
There are experiments done where electrodes are dropped into the temporo-parietal junction, wherein the experimentors could manually adjust the height of the person floating above themselves during surgery. This suggests a materialist nature of consciousness, but also that consciousness can be existent outside of the brain? I still struggle to interpret these studies.
If Hameroff the Penrose theory is correct then consciousness imprints itself at a point on the pre-space time matrix, so to a certain degree the neurons are maintained, coherence depends on frequency and the resonance that some may define as God.
Amazing genes and early childhood nutrition. Look at that palate and jawline. Wow

19:54 Being a Sanatani Brahmin i want to make a correction...there is nothing like non-dual Advaita Vedant...because advait itself means non dual...morever advait vedanta is older and kashmiri shavisim has borrowed from it.
Hinduism was waay ahead of time.
Watched this. Slept. Woke up. Wrote this down:
Truth is only possible on Earth, where things are solid matter, and thus capable of being objectively permanent across time. Thus, Christians were right to intuit that God is a prerequisite for truth. As in, there has to be a nucleus of something unchanging, for a world to accrete around, in order for anything to be "true", in contrast to the ever-shifting evervoid, where personal and collective will decide whatever is true, but only for that moment; only while a group or individual perceives it to be true. Objective truth is not possible without a world made of objects. As in, constrained by perceptual boundaries, each separate and distinct from each other. We perceive the shape/role first, then its innards are filled in later as we gain the capacity to explore deeper. Scientific instruments don't uncover truth; they nail a single possibility out of many down into being the correct one (like the double-slit experiment). So even Earth's objective truth is still only true for here and now.
she is wonderful lady,
Well, anethetics (including xenon) work on a paramecium in the same dose ratios as humans. They don't have neurons. Whatever "goes out" under anesthesia isn't neuron activity.
O kay, I'll actually say it! Synchronicity! I'll get to that in a minute, but let me explain the circumstances first, I turned this on as a break from watching the disturbing political news in the US.
I am deeply involved in the study of philosophy of mind, idealism and, particularly the relationship between the pure Quantum State as an image that is isomorphic to Consciousness itself. What stunned me, was the fact that the 2 books that I am referencin, in a well-imagined, but yet unwritten paper or book on this phenomena, are: irreducible by Federico faggin, and The Idea of the World by Bernardo Kastrup.
The two books that have apparently, provided a core understanding for her also. How this be? I'm going with synchronicity. Which is: an event that is acausal, not likely to occur, but has a clear meaning to the Experiencer of the event. (My definition). Materialists Will bring up the possibility Of confirmation bias, but I think that is a cop-out. Yet, These things happen. They are inexplicable and they are ineffable. These two books are literally on my desk right now, I'm integrating each concept into a unified structure, How likely is this to occur by chance?
Surprised the following question or something similar isn't ssked: If we don't need eyes to see, why do we have them?
@@slartibartfast1268 We exist inside biology. we are bounded in it but, after reunion with the whole of consciousness there aren't anymore boundaries.
The only thing that every Idealist agrees on is the fundementality of consciousness. That is becoming obviously true to anyone who has looked at the disperate lines of scientific and philosophical reasoning that evolved since the beginning of the twentieth century. Everyone is speculating about what happens beyond that boundary.
I've never had to the patience to get anywhere with meditation, doesnt seem very powerful tbh... But I've done Ayahuasca many times and left my body, and had many strange experiences 1) been to another dimension 2) seen through walls 3) met the dead. I also am scientifically trained. I am not sure what the mechanism is, but its clear to me that reality is not as it appears.
Same! But after ayahuasca am able to meditate (because I know what I am “looking”
for (the beginning of the aya journey -> dive into the heart)).
Hi @chizzlemo3094
Two things resonated with me of the three experiences you listed.
1. Meeting persons who are already dead
2. Able to see through the wall.
The "dimension" issue, I cannot get into because we both do not have a common understanding of what "another dimension" entails.
I wrote to you because, although you had these indisputable experience with ayahuasca, you do not know the mechanism.
Scientists who are researching these also do not know the precise mechanism. But scientists, cautious as we expect them to be, are limiting their research using these psychedelics into very severe mental health issues that are not treatable with conventional drugs. And they are achieving astounding results. These researchers are in King's College, London, Johns Hopkin, and Havard. Please, check them out.
These psychedelics exact their effects not directly through the anatomical body but on the total human.
The current problem is that science does not have available to it the schematics and the workings of the total human, yet one of them, an anthropologist named Carlos Casteneda from the University of California, did produce a book with the detailed explantion almost thirty years ago. It is titled Fire From Within.
Over the last almost thirty years, I have been able to research the missing pieces to produce a logical, coherent account of the underpinnings of every single thing that Prof Woollocatt talked about today and your two experiences. In the book, you are most likely to find the underpinnings of what you refer to as "other dimesion" but I will rather you be more specific.
The accounts in my book are extremely detailed but simple to follow. We will however await the arrival of the Physics/Mathematics that will be capable of expressing and verifying it...perhaps in the next 50 years.

I don't know Sanskrit per se, but my language (Marathi) is derived from it. AFAIK, the "hu" in hetuhu is the verb. Like "is" but not exactly - with a touch of 'itself'. So at least if somebody said it casually, I'd interpret it as more like Freedom (swatantra - here it might imply freedom from bodily preoccupations) of conscience/consciousness (chit) itself is the cause (hetu - can also mean motive) of mastery/attainment (siddhi) over the world (vishva). But yes, I'm familiar enough with these words that I'd understand them in conversation with about as much difficulty as understanding an unfamiliar accent.
That is the exact question I asked in Santa Barbara CA, i had a GREAT JOB, a nice apt on the Mesa a bluff 243 steps above the ocean. I was 33 yrs old, I had lived a dream life up to that point, far better, more fullfilling, challenging, etc than any lige I had expected to live. A ski Instructor/ski bum really, living the mountain dream aol year. Running my construction company bldg homes, well mostly roofs in CO but then homes in AZ AND CA... big ritzsi houses, 10,000 sqft homes of decadence. Anyhow a lovely job making planty of $$ and yet I felt deep inside "i should be happier" but I didnt know why. I got a book that had resonated deep truth in me years before called The Power of Now... i remembered it since Tolle had just released another book A New Earth basically it extrapolated on previous concepts of presence being fundamental to enlighteent, like the pass code to enter heaven right here is the midst of you/me/us/everyone.

In my case, having a first-person experience of an NDE DID get in the way of trying to get a degree in neuroscience and psychology because I was so frustrated in being force fed the materialist view of the body when all I wanted to study was the full consciousness aspect of reality. The insistence by UofA that I had to have a foundation of cellular biology before studying consciousness was off-putting to me.
My first comment seems to have disappeared into the bit bucket, so I'll try again:
I'm surprised the following question and related ones weren't addressed: If we don't need eyes to see, why do we have them?
Would love to read the research about telepathy and autistic children. Reference would be appreciated.
When you were floating around did you see through the walls and under the operating table or only things people see when awake and walking around?
How a good scientist can ever be scientific materialist and not question other phenomenons?
Our Self is bound by ego, and a false sense of association to our physical vehicle. Once both of these qualities disappear, opens our eye of the collective concious, that is observing all of us all the time. The NDEs are nothing but a glimpse from the vantage point of collective concious, through our yet to be forgotten bodily recognition.
If consciousness is fundamental in that physicality derives from it, what are her thoughts on the formation of the universe, solar system, earth and birth of consciousness as we know it?
I think you got it backwards. Consciousness derives from matter.
