Near Death Experience (NDE)

Based on evidence from extensive NDE research, Robert and Suzanne Mays will address the question: What do near-death experiences (NDEs) mean to us as conscious physical beings living on Earth? Their talk will present their hypotheses derived from NDE phenomena. They will focus on significant new material, NDE Evidence, and their next steps in Mind-Brain Research. As well-known and highly respected researchers, they bring Anthroposophical concepts into NDE concepts such as their mind-entity hypothesis that proposes that human beings have a physical body and a conscious, nonmaterial mind that is united with the body. The mind-entity is the seat of consciousness. In ordinary consciousness, the mind is united with and works with the brain through direct interaction. During an NDE — and after physical death — the mind separates from the body and operates independently of it. The meaning of life is implied: we are eternal spiritual beings in an earthly incarnation and we do not die with the death of the physical body.  The implications are huge for our sense of reality.
