British doctors, studying patients who have suffered a heart attack and suffered in disasters, have discovered a striking fact. It turns out that consciousness, the human soul, continues to exist even after the brain has ceased to function and clinical death has occurred.
The paper, presented at the California Institute of Technology, has resurrected controversy about the existence of life after death and such an ephemeral substance as the human soul.
“Our research is remarkable in that we were interacting with a group of people who were completely brainless,” says Sam Parnia, one of two doctors at Southampton General Hospital who has studied so-called near-death stories. experience - NDE).
During the studies conducted on 63 patients who were in a state of clinical death, only seven were able to recall any details about their weekly stay "in the next world." Four of those who were in the NDE state described clear and clear pictures that they saw after doctors stated the complete lack of brain function.
As a rule, patients talk about a feeling of peace, peace and harmony, a column of light, a road to another dimension and communication with deceased relatives.
Parnia says that the brain, deprived of oxygen, is not able to remember what is happening, so the data was collected only based on the readings of patients with low oxygen levels. Of course, skeptics will always find something to find fault with, and will consider that such "hallucinations" are associated with loss or regaining consciousness, but Parnia argues that the brain damaged in any accident simply cannot remember what is happening around it when unconscious.
The researchers interviewed a total of more than 3,000 people, most of whom had been in critical condition for quite some time. Scientists note that many were afraid to go crazy because of what they saw.
The most daring hypotheses claim that human consciousness is completely unconnected with the brain, but only uses gray matter as a transceiver of signals, transmitting and projecting thoughts into actions.
