Access our new product: Ideas from Great Books! – https://academyofideas.com/members/
Over the 14 years of creating content on this channel we’ve read more than 1000 books. We decided to take the books that have influenced us most and create concise summaries that share their core ideas and most powerful quotes and passages.
Check out the summaries we have uploaded so far! – https://academyofideas.com/category/ideas-from-great-books/
We’ll be adding at least one new summary every week. These summaries offer an easy way to explore the ideas of history’s greatest philosophers and psychologists, while also discovering new books worth reading.
Members also access our entire library of membership videos (140+ videos)!
Science also struggles to explain dreams.
Yes, God is real. I've heard from a doctor how he tried to save a young girl who had drowned as he went to work. The girl was dead, he failed. Weeks later the girl came, with her parents, to see him. She gave him a picture of him trying to save her that she'd drawn, with correct clothes, the beard he no longer had, as if she was watching him. He asked how they knew who he was, where to find him. She said she knew, she saw his medical bag that wasn't in the picture, his name. He checked, nobody who knew the girl drowned knew him or who he was.
Another was a woman who died, but revived after an hour. She not only accurately described what was done to her, but what was in the room, including a machine hidden behind a screen that nobody knew was there and was dusty, unused.
Sir as usual you deliver beautiful content at a very needed time, humanity,when humbled has the potential for Greatness,we as the energy force shall overcome.
I became obsessed with NDEs for years for some reason. I listened to hundreds of them. Kind of changed my perception of reality but also had many different interpretations throughout all that. Because after awhile I really started to get upset like there was something wrong with reality or it didn't make sense. And then I even wondered about more esoteric perspectives like "soul trap" and all that, which I've since discarded.
great vvideo
Look up Brazilian Professor Alexander Moreira-Almeida, who's been studying NDEs for more than 20 years. Tremendous work.
If you come back from death then you weren't really dead, lots of different nde stories. Very interesting stuff. Palitive care aid I am so seen lots of this and nearing death awareness also
With all due respect, I'll disagree with the statement that science can't explain near death experiences. In a nutshell, when a person experiences an NDE, what they're seeing is hallucinations made from the memories of images fed to them by their cultural background.
This is explained in Styxhexenhammer666's "The Truth about Near Death Experiences (NDE's)".

50:19] — "And the intoxication of death will bring the truth: — 'That is what thou wast avoiding!'"
Thank you for your videos. So educational and I'm so grateful 🙏 so much garbage online.
We're starving for wisdom
All the materialist atheistic comments are just dismissive excuses.
Is anyone else reading Morphic Resonance by Rupert Sheldrake?
No one mentions they saw “hell” and were terrified and were glad to come back! When someone is dead for 6 months and manages to return let me know then I will take this more seriously! 🪦💀💀☕️👀
There isn't a mystery there's not an iota of tangible evidence of a afterlife the human brain is susceptible to fantastical thinking and hallucinations just because someone had a anecdotal experience doesn't prove anything other than that people are story tellers
Thanks for the video. I did my masters in psychology in NDEs and the aftereffect of how these impact dreaming. Nicole Lindsay was my supervisor. Got published. Yes, I was privileged to study this area and interview people who had NDEs.
The Christ is eternal. A being of pure light would logically be outside time. The math checks out.
In Peru they drink Aya to see death. After that life just a chill ride 😉
To me the experience of singularty – during NDE and Psychedelic session – was a blissfull transcendental state of mind. It seems that when we as viewer become completly free from any fixed perspective, we might explore to look through/with the eyes of god, …of thee living spirit, …of the world soul.
People lie, are mistaken, are idiots when they're alive. You trust their stories from when they're half dead?
My NDE was very different from almost all other NDEs I have read and seen. I was driving along a curvy road during evening with rain and poor visibility because of rain and darkness. A hard right at 90 kmh, then a hard left where I was still at 80kmh, and now in the wrong position to make the turn. This was in year 2000. Just got my licence, and I had no chance to make the turn on a wet road in that old car with those tires. Perhaps now on a dry road with my 2016 car and 2022 tires and many years of experience as a driver. About 2m before hitting the rock wall, my world went dark. And I was there alone in the dark nothingness for what felt like ca 15min, no feeling of having a body either there. Just wondering how I got there and what it was. Then suddenly I was behind the wheel of the car again, perhaps 400m further along from the "accident" site. The car didn't have a scratch.
Hello there, Academy of Ideas. Im a long time follower but first time commentor;
I will be short and brutally honest here – It it, unbelievable, that a channel dedicated to Philosophy, Psychology, Sociology and Science in general, has produced, this WOO TRASH of a video!!!
Of course science can explain these
Near death experiences are what happen when your brain is dieing.
That simple
Clickbait title. Science definitely can explain nde. People just don't want to accept evidence that goes against their biases.
I had an NDE in Tibet last year
Brain is exactly like a receiver and emitter of frequency vibrations and many other functions but is not generator and container of consciousness. Consciousness itself is not something out there, because is not an object or a subject, it cannot be put into words and described in limiting notions. We can describe it superficially as something but is not possible to say what it is exactly. Not while being the avatar of it with limiting possibilities of perception.
Science can explain and prove the human bodies chemical response to severe lack of oxygen. Look up Grossman AWARE II study led by Dr. Sam Parnia. It is definitely NOT something to do with your soul
I didn't die, but I was in severe pain and misery, desperate i begged God and was given a greater power, a greater mind, talent, I was told how to save my life
❤
Near death experiences are just stray brain activity that brain tries make sense of. Like dreams/nightmares. Physiological. No religious or spiritual significance.
Thanks
It's not that I doubt consciousness beyond death; rather, I doubt anyone who says they know what it's like and find the fixation foolish.
Everything people experience during NDE's is influenced by their culture and upbringing. Even the "unexplained phenomenon," such as detailed explanations of out-of-body experiences, could be a subconscious reconstruction of information their conscious mind failed to notice.
A consciousness beyond death would inherently be non-anthropocentric, inexplicable, and beyond anything a human or any animal could imagine. Religions and their truth claims and judgments, cultural superstitions and inherited myths are fleeting manmade constructs that try to fit the universe into a human-shaped box. It is best to do away with these things and approach the unknowable with indifference, rather than wanting it to conform to our preconceived notions or hopes that it will banish our anxieties, as many in human civilization do regularly.
Death comes for us all, and no matter what does or doesn't come after, it will be okay and won't matter until that very moment.
In short, a life fixated on death, beyond an anchor for grounding values, is a life utterly wasted. You're alive to live, and you can worry about death when you're dead.
The filter model is incomplete, as it doesn't explain how the brain can do all this filtering, nor does it explain what one sees on NDE's or other altered, mystical states like those induced by trance, psychedelics, sensory deprivatio, fasting, prayer, meditation, etc.
After my own NDE I went on a long journey of trying to make sense of my ontological shock, the specific things I'd seen and what they might have meant.
So as not to write an entire book here, suffice it to say that I came to conclusions that many mystics had come to before me throughout the ages: That reality is a mind imagining itself through us. And that this mind and its mechanics have been described, at least partly, by the likes of Plato, Plotinus, Eckhart and Jung to name just a tiny few. A more modern interpretation comes from Bernardo Kastrup and his analytic idealism. Kastrup, unfortunately, is too left brain to see the entire picture, but he is able to articulate what many in the know cannot.
8:20 Everything in life is impermanent. The only permanent is memories. 🔥🌱
I did doctor supervised ketamine therapy this year and honestly it sounds very similar. Dark tunnel or "river" as I called it, carrying you through reality
DMT is helluva drug
You are consciousness. ❤.
Love where this is going
My mom passed away the 25th anniversary of 9-11 @ 78 years old
My mother had an NDE giving birth to my sister. She saw herself drifting through white clouds, being pulled, then a burst of light appeared ahead of her, as if she was arriving to a door which was about to open. At that moment she was pulled back into her body as they revived her.
What about children and NDEs?
I had an NDE almost 10 years ago. What I realized is SO beyond this dream of being human that today, the only piece of "jewelry" that I always wear is a DNR bracelet (Do Not Resuscitate) 🙏🏾❤️♾️
another good vid but i wish you had added some stuff around shared death experience. it takes what you spoke about to another level, and partly enforced my view that there’s more to existence that we won’t understand until this earth loses its hold of us.
I've listened to so many academy of ideas videos. My favorite so far has been Nietchze's pessimism of strength.
its just tripping .
The brain is a transceiver. The mind is the transmission. The sender is the soul. Memories are the content of the signal, and imprinted on the soul.
NDE's could be a transitional state that in no way resembles ultimate reality.
