The Scientific Basis For NDEs, How Trauma Can Inform the Likelihood of Out of Body Experiences & What Near Death Experiences Reveal about Our Consciousness

What if death isn't the end but a doorway to something far greater? Dr. Bruce Greyson, M.D. (author of After, Chester Carlson Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at the University of Virginia, and co-founder of the International Association for Near-Death Studies) shares the near-death experience (NDE) that shattered his medical skepticism and launched decades of consciousness research. A Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, Greyson explores astonishing cases of tunnel visions, otherworldly reunions, and the powerful, peer-reviewed scientific evidence for life after death. Could it be that consciousness exists outside the brain? Discover why many say NDEs eliminate the fear of dying, trigger lifelong transformation, and may even unlock hidden psychic abilities. Plus: the surprising connection between trauma, psychedelics, and reincarnation science—and what it all reveals about what happens after we die.
