right on brother!!

@stevenriften7561

When i chose my death in the future and move on…..i hope on the other side i can find some love and some actual purpose for something greater than myself.

That's what most men want internally.

Anita Moorjani healed herself from stage 4 cancer during her NDE. There is plenty interviews with her on youtube. Also people attending Joe Dispenza's meditations retreats healing themselves from all different diseases including cancer. We are much more then they teach us at schools when we are kids ❤

@carlyvalente

Solo puedo decir que : Hasta que no lo experimentes, no pases por esa vivencia, te resultará dificil entenderlo y creer. Yo sé que existe, lo he vivido. Gracias por obtener esa muestra gratis de lo que es !

@andrewvoya5234

I can only pray and hope it’s like he says. I want it to be like he says.
Some days I feel it
Some days I don’t.
I just want it to be so, not because I’m afraid it isn’t but for the desire and love to be reconnected with my loved ones🌺

@NadiaTarita

Dr Joe Dispenza will help you to heal !!!

All of this is already in the realm of mainstream science and the evidence has piled up over 50 years. Those that believe in a purely physical explanation based on current known science are now in the minority within that scientific community. And there are of course sub experiences here. Such as:

Pre death visions while conscious and lucid.
Near death experiences
Shared death experiences
Premonition of the death of a relative by related persons in a far away geographical location without prior knowledge of that person's ill health.

These are all either related or unrelated phenomena associated with the process of death/dying and often beginning weeks or months in advance when the patient is both conscious and lucid.

Whilst a lot of this depends on the credibility of witnesses there are several areas that are both beyond contestation and also completely defy any scientific exploration.

1 Detailed descriptions of events in the emergency room and sometimes other rooms during a resuscitation process. Including the thoughts/words and actions of emergency staff. This is of course physically impossible when a patient is in a coma/completely deprived of oxygen to the brain.
2 Messages from already deceased persons which are passed on from the person having and NDE to complete strangers and which turn out to be uncanny in their details/precision and understanding of situations where prior knowledge is not possible.
3 Accounts of encounters with relations that the person having an NDE did not know existed. Such as from a stillborn baby for example.
4 Shared death experience where a relative of the person who is dying shares the early stages of the post death journey despite being conscious, lucid and in perfect health themselves.

As the speaker mentioned the full spectrum of these experiences defy any simple or single explanation based on known science. As many of them involve people who are conscious, lucid and in perfect health themselves. Who corroborate experiences by those who have passed into the death process and returned. The idea that consciousness is outside out bodies and perhaps both eternal and universal is hinted at by quantum theory.

As for those that argue that eyewitness testimony is not credible I would simply observe that 99% of all recorded human experience relies on eyewitness testimony. Some eyewitnesses are not credible. But if you believe that all eyewitnesses are not credible then human history never happened.

Great TED Talk, could not agree more with everything he said! I wish you well in your journey sir 🙏🏻praying for you.

@literaturix

Everything Torbjørn says is true. I think he has penetrated the truth. The opposite of love is not hate: it is fear. Don't be afraid!

@garywim

I am one of the lucky ones to have had a mind-boggling and life-changing NDE in 1977, and Torbjørn Dyrud's presentation is spot one!!! Fear not!

I have no idea who this guy is, I just clicked on it simply by accident, but I must say he is an excellent speaker and this fascinating subject is something I do know about. The nurse who removed the denture from the dead patient's mouth (and he was indeed dead) was actually a male nurse, TG, and this case was the most remarkable event he had ever encountered in his career. Sceptics have tried to dismiss the case by providing ad hoc, hypothetical explanations, which involve ignoring TG's testimony and suggesting that he must have somehow been awake etc etc. Absolutely not the case !

When his denture was removed, he (Mr B) was lying flat out on a bed/board and had no breathing/heartbeat/pulse/no gag reflex (he was able to be effortlessly intubated with an endotracheal tube into his throat), he was stone cold to the touch with post mortem lividity (bluish/purple mottling on his skin) and his eyes were fixed and dilated and completely non responsive to light and yet he saw everything that was done to him, the removal of his upper denture that the ambulance men had not spotted. Not only that, he could describe the scene (who worked on him etc) the little room where he had been taken in detail, what was in it, even a small wash basin that was hidden behind a curtain (it could only be seen from an elevated position at the ceiling, apparently).

This is impossible if consciousness is produced by the brain, yet there are hundreds or more of these cases now. I have dozens and dozens of them. Great communicator, Mr Dyrud, best of luck !
