me too.

people who see ghosts many times they describe what the ghost was wearing, usually the last thing they were wearing
I wonder if you were dying, could you ‘dress up’ like the vikings – items to make your journey easier?

ps it helped me alot.

Hi Dr. P. M. H. Atwater,

Thanks for dropping by. You have done a substantial amount of research on NDEs which has helped to shed light on this phenomenon, so I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts on the subject here. I’ll be sure to have a closer look at some of your work.

You make a really good point about the powerful aftereffects of NDEs. I have certainly seen the impacts you are talking about on someone close to me who had an experience.

Thanks for including my article in your next monthly newsletter — I’ve subscribed and I look forward to seeing it. Best wishes to you.

Hi Only Sound, I’m glad you have found this site inspiring.

Freedom of consciousness is really about protecting the freedom to explore spirituality and consciousness in society — myself and others write about issues and agendas that limit our ability to do this. So this site is not really about telling people how to awaken consciousness; there are a diversity of spiritual viewpoints out there and however someone wishes to pursue spirituality is up to them. But we all have an interest in protecting our ability to explore spirituality/consciousness by the route we choose, including through alternative forms of spirituality, and it is important to uphold this right for everyone and show what it is limiting it in the world, regardless of any differences people may have in how they personally view or approach spirituality.

Hi Drwis. P.M.H Atwater,
Really cool to see you here. I have seen several of your videos recounting your NDEs and they seemed to be amazing experiences. I have also come across research on the effects of NDEs on people and as you were saying, the impact it has on people is lasting, so are the clarified of the experience which does not disappear after time are actually 2 main reasons which validates the experiences in terms of simple but pure psychology.. so to speak, a psychedelic or drug induced state will not have the same effect as an NDE. Yet there is a lot of misconception and disinformation on NDEs and I was wondering if you had feedback in that.
Best wishes

I have seen what you say Lucia too. In the begging looks sad and feel pity when people don’t care, deny, reject the obvious. But there is always a phycological reason behind it that if we knew it we could understand their attitude and possibly feel compassion. For example the denial is a defending mechanism in human phycology which works almost automatically infront of the unknown like a first OBE.

On one hand, I have the belief that there is always a way someone or something to trigger deeper chords inside a person and make it more positive, open minded and receiving. Probably a kind of vibration that could break some blocks inside a person. Or a long phyco-therapy, or through pain(accident, death, illness).
On the other hand every person is special and has been formed in a certain way. Its one of us according our formation we are looking for certain experiences to live like have family, become rich, live extreme, invent things etc
But when someone sate the materialistic kind of experiences will probably look for some more delicate ones in order to fill the gap inside. And this can take long time… or maybe not.

Thank you Matthew for bringing up this topic! It triggers a lot of reflection and dicussion.
