Other Realms: Near-Death Experiences

This report is about an important new book in the maturing, ever-expanding field of near-death research. Called "Evidence of the Afterlife", it summarizes the largest scientific study of the near-death experience ever presented. Written by Dr. Jeffrey Long, Evidence of the Afterlife is based on 613 near-death experiences, which were selected from over 1300 NDEs from all age groups, races, and religious affiliations, from all over the world. Along with providing new evidence that strengthens established views of NDEs, this study breaks new ground by insisting that near-death experiences are essentially the same for all human beings, regardless of their age, gender, personal beliefs, and cultural conditioning.

NHNE now has a social network dedicated to exploring of all aspects of the near-death experience. If this is a topic that interests you (and assuming you are a human being who would like to know more about who you are, where you are from, why you are here, and where you are headed, it should be a topic that interests you), I invite you to come check it out...

If you have had a distressing near-death experience, or know someone who has, or even have merely heard of the phenomenon, you're probably interested to know more about such experiences. This page will provide basic information and will direct you to additional resources on the subject.

Be sure to read this one. This story contains a fabulous near-death encounter with "God"...

Evidence of the Afterlife shares the firsthand accounts of people who have died and lived to tell about it. Through their work at the Near Death Experience Research Foundation, radiation oncologist Jeffrey Long and his wife, Jody, have gathered thousands of accounts of near-death experiences (NDEs) from all over the world. In addition to sharing the personal narrative of their experiences, visitors to the website are asked to fill out a one hundred-item questionnaire designed to isolate specific elements of the experience and to flag counterfeit accounts.

Vicky Blavon was born blind. In a television report (the first video) and Coast-To-Coast interview (the next three videos), Vicky describes what it was like to experience sight for the first time. In the Coast-To-Coast interview, Vicky goes on to describe encounters with Jesus, moving through hellish and heavenly realms, and being told she couldn’t stay on the other side because she was to become a mother and teach unconditional love and forgiveness. Jesus, according to Vicky, also told her to tell others about him and her experience: “let them know of this day and tell them that I AM”…

I'd like to see if Shermer will accept the offer to debate me at length on such profound questions as the following...

IANDS is cooperating with a television production company on a possible TV series about near-death experiences and their impact on people's lives. The producers are a reputable company that has had a previous successful series. We are inviting experiencers to consider participating.

Because of this work, we can say that things like out-of-body experiences, the dead come back, visitors from the Other Side, otherworldly journeys, are all natural and typical to the experience and are not related to oxygen deprivation, the dying brain, hallucinations, or any of the other physical conditions skeptics are so quick to offer. There is more, though...
