Short documentary about near death experiences with radiation oncologist, Dr Jeffrey Long.. Six near death experiencers share their stories.
Impressive video. Have been interested in NDE's since my mother had one during an operation and related her experience to me some time later. And like the people in this video, God, Jesus or religion played no part in the experience.

Dr. Jeff Long - Afterlife Preview
[ 'Multidimensionality" - click to enlarge]
It has been proposed by some contemporary physicists that each of us is a 'Multidimensional Being'. We function in many different contexts of reality at once. Though we appear to be focused only here, there are also alternative forms of each being which function in parallel universes.
Curiously this is an area where science and metaphysics seem to meet and merge. In Seth Speaks, he describes the multidimensional nature of the human personality, with its untapped resources, its range in time and space, its connections with all aspects of the universe, how it functions in parallel universes, and the continuity of consciousness.

Parallel Universes is a 2001 documentary produced by the BBC's Horizon series. The documentary has to do with parallel universes, string theory, M theory, supergravity, and other theoretical physics concepts. Participants include Michio Kaku, Paul Steinhardt, and other physicists.

"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.
The website has become the largest NDE research database in the world, containing over 1,600 NDE accounts. The people whose stories are captured in the database span all age groups, races, and religious affiliations and come from all over the world, yet the similarities in their stories are as awe-inspiring as they are revealing. Using this treasure trove of data, Dr. Long explains how medical evidence fails to explain these reports and why there is only one plausible explanation—that people have survived death and traveled to another dimension."

"This program explores the phenomenon of near death experiences as reported by people who have been recorded clinically dead while undergoing cardiac arrest or serious surgical procedures, yet have then survived to recall their experience."

Anita M's NDE
One of the most fascinating accounts of an NDE is that of Anita M. I first heard about Anita and her amazing recovery from cancer from a friend who was visiting me from Hong Kong last year.
"Anita M. was born in Singapore and then lived in Sri Lanka until she was 2 years old. An ethnic Sindhi woman from India, her family then moved to Hong Kong where she grew up speaking fluent Sindhi, Cantonese and English, as well as being conversant with a multitude of cultural idioms. Although a Hindu by birth, she was educated first in Catholic schools and then in private English schools in Hong Kong and later studied in England . . . . .
In April 2002 she was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma and after nearly 4 years of battling the disease, she was taken to the intensive care unit of her local hospital in February 2006 where she was given less than 36 hours to live. Her remarkable NDE and seeming miraculous recovery from cancer has created enormous interest and commentary on an international scale. . . . . . "
From compound organ failure and immanent death to complete and immediate remission makes for interesting reading.
Bernard Haisch, Ph.D. is the author of "The God Theory". Haisch is an astrophysicist, author of over 130 scientific publications, and was a scientific editor of the Astrophysical Journal for ten years. His professional positions include staff scientist at the Lockheed Martin Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory, deputy director of the Center for Extreme Ultraviolet Astrophysics at the University of California, Berkeley, and visiting scientist at the Max-Planck-Institute for Extraterrestial Physics in Garching, Germany. He was also editor-in-chief of the Journal of Scientific Exploration.
He writes: “I offer a genuine insight into how you can, and should, be a rational, science-believing human being and at the same time know that you are also an immortal spiritual being, a spark of 'God'. I propose a worldview that offers a way out of the hate and fear-driven violence engulfing the planet.”
There is so much distasteful baggage attached to the very word and concept of 'god', primarily as a result of the very vocal religous zealots that encircle the world. No secret that I have regularly bashed them here and have no love of their simplistic, and childish views of creation and with prohibitions against just about everything. There is a widely held misconception that scientists don't believe in God. The truth is that most don't believe in the anthropomorphic Judeo-Christian and Muslim God who was invented by man in an era of scientific ignorance. Bernard Haisch prefers the term 'Divine Consciousness'.
In the following video, astrophysicist Dr. Bernard Haisch present his God Theory, which supposes that there is a thoughtful Intelligence behind the universe and this Intelligence has a purpose and motivation that can be understood by humanity. Haisch said his conception of "God" is perfectly compatible with evolution (requires it, in fact), can be defended logically, and does not violate any laws of physics.
"All probable worlds exist now. All probable variations on the most minute aspect in any reality exist now. You weave in and out of probabilities constantly, picking and choosing as you go along."
Parallel universes really do exist, according to a mathematical discovery by Oxford scientists described by one expert as “one of the most important developments in the history of science”. Everything you're about to read here seems impossible and beyond science fiction. Yet it's all true.
Scientists now believe there may really be a parallel universe - in fact, there may be an infinite number of parallel universes, and we just happen to live in one of them. These other universes contain space, time and strange forms of exotic matter. Some of them may even contain you, in a slightly different form. Astonishingly, scientists believe that these parallel universes exist less than one millimetre away from us. In fact, our gravity is just a weak signal leaking out of another universe into ours.
For years parallel universes were a staple of the Twilight Zone. Science fiction writers loved to speculate on the possible other universes which might exist. In one, they said, Elvis Presley might still be alive or in another the British Empire might still be going strong. Serious scientists dismissed all this speculation as absurd. But now it seems the speculation wasn't absurd enough. Parallel universes really do exist and they are much stranger than even the science fiction writers dared to imagine.
Now imagine what might happen if two such bubble universes touched. Neil Turok from Cambridge, Burt Ovrut from the University of Pennsylvania and Paul Steinhardt from Princeton believe that has happened. The result? A very big bang indeed and a new universe was born - our Universe. The idea has shocked the scientific community; it turns the conventional Big Bang theory on its head. It may well be that the Big Bang wasn't really the beginning of everything after all. Time and space all existed before it. In fact Big Bangs may happen all the time.

BBC Parallel Universes 1/5
Curiously I became aware of Parallel Universes not as a result of my life-long interest in science, but rather by way of the Seth/Jane Roberts books back in the mid 1970's.
These two volumes are devoted primarily to the concept of probable realities and the concept of parallel universes, which would eventually be developed in Quantum Physics. They are some of the most complex and yet important concepts in the Seth material, for it explains the mechanics involved in the events of our daily lives - in this probable universe.
