Scientific Evidence for Survival Of consciousness after death

1. Scientific Evidence for Survival Of consciousness after death By : J. Razjouyan

2. Dr. Ken Ring published a paper in the Journal of Near-Death Studies (Summer, 1993) concerning near-death experiencers who, while out of their bodies, • witness real events that occur far away from their dead body. The important aspect to this phenomenon is that these events seen far away are later verified to be true. Experiencers not only witness events from great distances, but they have been documented to hear conversations between people at the same events. Conversations such as these have also verified to be true. An even more fascinating phenomenon occurs when the experiencer actually appears in spirit to someone, usually a loved one, during their NDE and it is verified to be true by the experiencer and the loved one. It is evidence such as this, if scientifically controlled, that can provide absolute scientific proof that consciousness can exist outside of the body. A scientifically controlled NDE that can be repeated which provides such evidence would be the scientific discovery of all time. However, science does not yet have the exact tools to accomplish this. But, science is coming very, very close. This kind of evidence and others provide very strong circumstantial evidence for the survival of consciousness.

4. (1)NDEs occur while patients are brain dead. (2)Out-of-body perception during NDEs has been verified. (3)People born blind can see during an NDE. (4)NDEs demonstrate the return of consciousness from death. (5)The NDE study by Raymond Moody has been replicated. (6)Experimental evidence suggests that NDEs are real .(7)NDEs can be considered to be an objective experience. (8)NDEs have been validated in scientific studies. (9)Out-of-body experiences (OBEs) have been validated in scientific studies. (10)Autoscopy during NDEs have been validated in scientific studies (11)A transcendental "sixth sense" of the human mind has been found. (12)NDEs support the "holonomic" theory of consciousness. (13)The expansion of consciousness reported in NDEs supports consciousness theories. (14)The brain's connection to a greater power has been validated by indisputable scientific facts. (15)The replication of NDEs using hallucinogenic drugs satisfies the scientific method. (16)NDEs are different from hallucinations. (17)The replication of NDEs using a variety of triggers satisfies the scientific method. (18)Apparitions of the deceased have been induced under scientific controls. (19)People having NDEs have brought back scientific discoveries. (20)NDEs have advanced the field of medical science

5. (21)NDEs have advanced the field of psychology. (22)NDEs correspond to the "quirky" principles found in quantum physics. (23)The transcendental nature of human consciousness during NDEs corresponds to principles found in quantum physics. (24)NDEs have advanced the fields of philosophy and religion. (25)NDEs have the nature of an archetypal initiatory journey. (26)People have been clinically dead for several days and report the most profound NDEs. (27)NDEs have produced visions of the future which later prove to be true. (28)Groups of dying people can share the same NDE. (29)Experiencers are convinced the NDE is an afterlife experience. (30)The NDEs of children are remarkably similar to adult NDEs (31)Experiencers of NDEs are profoundly changed in ways that cannot occur from hallucinations and dreams. (32)NDEs cannot be explained merely by brain chemistry alone. (33)NDEs have been reported by people since the dawn of recorded history. (34)The skeptical "dying brain" theory of NDEs has serious flaws. (35)Skeptical arguments against the NDE "survival theory" are not valid. (36)The burden of proof has shifted to the skeptics of the survival theory. (37)Other anomalous phenomena supports the survival theory. (38)NDEs support the existence of reincarnation. (39)The scientific evidence supporting reincarnation also supports the survival theory. (40)Xenoglossy supports reincarnation and the survival theory

6. (41)Past-life regression supports reincarnation and the survival theory. • (42)Contact with "the deceased" has occurred under scientific controls. • (43)After-death communications have been reported by credible people. • (44)Dream research supports the NDE and survival theory. • (45)Deathbed visions support the NDE and survival theory. • (46)Remote viewing supports the NDE and survival theory. • (47)The efficacy of prayer has been demonstrated under scientific controls. • (48)The "Scole Experiments" during the 1990s support the NDE and survival theory. • (49)Astrological concepts have been proven scientifically. • (50)Astrological concepts are found in NDEs. • (51)Electronic voice phenomena (EVP) supports the NDE and survival theory. • (52)Prominent atheists have had NDEs which caused them to believe in the afterlife. • (53)Psychometry supports the NDE and survival theory.

7. For more than 50 years experimenters all over the world have been tape recording 'paranormal voices' -- voices which cannot be heard when a tape-recorder is playing but which can be heard when the tape is played back. Many of the very short messages claim to be from loved ones who have passed on. They are responsive, use the experimenter's name and answer questions. There are thousands of researchers around the world who have been researching this most fascinating psychic phenomenon. At the time of writing, the Internet search engine Google had almost 50,000 listings for EVP. It is particularly relevant to my argument since it follows strict scientific procedures and experiments have been duplicated under laboratory conditions by all kinds of researchers in many different countries. Persistent investigators get a powerful shock when they decide to investigate electronic voice phenomena because by using the proper method of tape recording they are likely to hear voices of loved ones or friends who have died.

9. The NDE and Out-of-BodyKevin Williams' research conclusions

10. "l could talk to the baby. It was amazing. I could not talk to the parents - my friends - but I could talk to the little boy who had just been born. I asked him what was wrong. No words were exchanged, but I asked him maybe through telepathy what was wrong. He told me that his arm hurt. And when he told me that, I was able to see that the bone was twisted and broken."

11. The silver cord has been described as being smooth, very long, very bright, like an elastic cable made of light, about an inch wide, sparkling like a tinsel on a Christmas tree, and attached to one of several possible locations on the physical body. During the dying process, as the spirit body leaves the physical body and moves farther away it, the silver cord becomes thinner as it is stretched to its limit and becomes severed. When this occurs, the spirit body is released from being attached to the physical body. At this point, it becomes impossible for the spirit body to ever return to the physical body. For this reason, we can define "irreversible death" as that point when the silver cord becomes stretched to its limit and severed. This is the so-called "point of no return."

12. When you die, the fixed measurement of earth time becomes soft and flexible. It stretches and shrinks like a rubber band. Entering the spirit realm feels like you were there just a few moments ago. Your time on earth seems like only a brief instance. You can examine the events of your past with great clarity and detail than you ever could in life. You can linger in your past for what seems like hours. When you are done, it seems like no time at all went by

GAIA The NDE and the City of Light • A golden city with towers and domes • A city of crystal cathedrals • A beautiful unearthly city • A beautiful fairy tale city • A city that represents a world • A multi-colored crystal city • ouls are seen being prepared for the city of light • An endless, brilliant, city of light and love

15. The NDE and Music • ccording to Dr. Joel Funk, a professor of psychology at Plymouth State College in New Hampshire, about 50% of near-death experiencers hear music during their NDE. They describe this music mostly as "music with a beautiful, floating sound." Dr. Funk played various kinds of music for 60 near-death experiencers and found that they identified New Age style synthesized music as nearest to what they had heard during their NDE. Dr. Funk comments, "Some people burst into tears when they recognize the music of their NDEs."
