UV and the Afterlife

As mentioned in today’s news, there is an excellent article online concerning Near Death Experiences and the research of Dr Bruce Greyson. I thought I’d post the link here as a standalone story, because it is a wonderful summary of NDE research and worthy of reading through. The University of Virginia has been at the forefront of ‘after-death’ research (via an endowment from the late Chester Carlson) for some time, with the work of people like Greyson, Ian Stevenson, Jim Tucker and even our good friend Michael Grosso examining what might happen to us when we die. There is also mention in there of the book Irreducible Mind, a complex, heavyweight tome that I have on my desk, but have barely managed to scratch the surface of yet – definitely worth a look for anybody serious about investigating the topic further (as an aside, I must say I’m baffled by the fact that nobody has indicated a preference for ‘afterlife’ essays in the poll about our upcoming anthology.

    1. Thanks
      Good point Dave. Although that would be the case with all the others too…and I’d certainly like to read a full anthology on ‘survival’ research. Maybe all the people interested in the topic of an afterlife also enjoy more topics than others…
      🙂

      Kind regards,
      Greg

  1. Irreducible Mind
    Read Chapter 3. It’s the best by far. Next read the chapters on NDEs and dying, and mystical experiences.

    The other stuff is good too, but not quite as compelling.

    But definitely read Chapter 3. A definite slap-you-silly collection of facts on the influence of the mind on the body, including other people’s body. . .

      Thanks Matthew,

      I’ve just been jumping around, reading sections here and there and enjoying it very much. I’m going to knuckle down soon and start reading it properly!

      (You might notice I took Friday’s quote of the day by Francis Bacon from the start of the book – there’s also a couple of great quotes from William James in there).

      Kind regards,
      Greg

    Those informed about the afterlife are all dead, and the internet connection there is not fast enough?
