Life after death exists - a scientific fact
Early 21st Century - A study by Peter Fenwick of the London Institute of Psychiatry and Sam Parin of Southampton Central Hospital has been published. Researchers have obtained irrefutable evidence that human consciousness does not depend on the activity of the brain and does not stop living when all processes in the brain have already stopped.
As part of the experiment, scientists studied medical histories and personally interviewed 63 cardiac patients who experienced clinical death. It turned out that 56 of those who returned from the other world did not remember anything. They fainted and came to their senses in a hospital room. But seven patients retained clear memories of their experiences during clinical death. Four claimed that they were overwhelmed by a feeling of calmness and joy, the passage of time accelerated, the feeling of their body did not disappear, their mood improved, even became elevated. Then a bright light appeared, as evidence of the transition to another world. A little later, mythical creatures appeared that looked like angels or saints. The patients were in another world for some time, and then returned to our reality.
Note that these people were not at all devout. For example, three said they did not attend church at all. Therefore, it will not work to explain this kind of message by religious fanaticism.
But the sensational thing in the study of scientists was completely different. Having carefully studied the medical documentation of the patients, the doctors delivered a verdict - the prevailing opinion that the brain stops working due to oxygen deficiency is wrong. None of those who were in a state of clinical death did not record a significant decrease in the content of life-giving gas in the tissues of the central nervous system.
Another hypothesis was also erroneous: that vision can be caused by an irrational combination of medications used during resuscitation. Everything was done strictly according to the standard.
Sam Parina assures that he started the experiment as a skeptic, but now he is one hundred percent sure - "there is something here." "The respondents experienced their incredible states at a time when the brain was no longer functioning and therefore was not able to reproduce any memories."
According to the British scientist, human consciousness is not a function of the brain. And since this is so, explains Peter Fenwick, "consciousness is quite capable of continuing to exist even after the death of the physical body."

“When we conduct brain research,” wrote Sam Parina, “it is clear that the brain cells in their structure, in principle, do not differ from other cells of the body. They also produce protein and other chemicals, but they are unable to create the subjective thoughts and images that we define as human consciousness. After all, our brain is necessary for us only as a receiver-transformer. It works like a kind of “live TV”: at first it perceives the waves that fall into it, and then transforms them into an image and sound, from which integral pictures are formed."
Later, in December 2001, three scientists from Rijenstate Hospital (Holland), under the direction of Pim Van Lommel, conducted the largest study to date of people who survived clinical death. The results were published in the article "Near-death experiences of survivors" after cardiac arrest: a targeted study of a specially formed group in the Netherlands in the British medical journal The Lancet. Dutch researchers came to similar conclusions as their British colleagues from Southampton.
Based on statistical data obtained over a decade, researchers have established that not all survivors of clinical death visit visions. Only 62 patients (18%) out of 344 who underwent 509 resuscitation sessions retained clear memories of their near-death experience.”
- During clinical death, more than half of the patients experienced positive emotions.
- Awareness of the fact of their own death was noted in 50% of cases.
- In 32% there were meetings with dead people.
- 33% of the dying told about passing through the tunnel.
- Pictures of the alien landscape have seen almost the same number of reanimated.
- The out-of-body phenomenon (when a person looks at himself from the side) was experienced by 24% of the respondents.
- A dazzling flash of light was recorded by the same number of those brought back to life.
- In 13% of cases, the reanimated observed the pictures of their lives passing by in succession.
- Talked about the vision of the border between the world of the living and the dead, less than 10% of respondents.
- None of the survivors of clinical death reported frightening or unpleasant sensations.
- Particularly impressive is the fact that people who were blind from birth spoke about visual impressions, they literally repeated the narratives of those who saw.
It will be interesting to note that a little earlier, Dr. Ring from America made attempts to find out the content of the dying visions of the blind from birth. Together with his colleague Sharon Cooper, he recorded the testimonies of 18 people, blind, who for some reason found themselves in a state of “temporary death”.
According to the testimonies of the respondents, the dying visions were for them the only opportunity to understand what it means to “see”.
One of the reanimated Vicki Yumipeg survived an "out of body" hospital. Vicki, from somewhere above, looked at her body lying on the operating table, and at the team of doctors who were conducting resuscitation measures. So for the first time she saw and understood what light is.
Blind from birth Martin Marsh, who experienced similar near-death visions, remembered most of all the variety of colors of the surrounding world. Martin is sure that his posthumous experience helped him understand how sighted people see the world.
But let's return to the research of scientists from Holland. They set a goal to accurately determine when people are visited by visions: during clinical death or during brain work. Van Lammel and his colleagues claim that they managed to do this. The conclusion of the researchers is that visions are observed precisely during the "shutdown" of the central nervous system. As a result, it was shown that consciousness exists independently of the work of the brain.
Perhaps the most surprising of Van Lammel is the case recorded by one of his colleagues. The patient, in a coma, was taken to the intensive care unit. Resuscitation measures were unsuccessful. The brain died, the encephalogram showed a straight line. It was decided to use intubation (to insert a tube into the larynx and trachea for artificial ventilation and restoration of airway patency). There was a denture in the patient's mouth. The doctor took it out and put it in a drawer. An hour and a half later, the patient's heartbeat resumed and his blood pressure returned to normal. A week later, when the same doctor entered the ward, the resuscitated person told her, “You know where my prosthesis is! You pulled out my teeth and put them in a drawer of a table on wheels! Upon careful questioning, it turned out that the operated patient observed himself lying on top of the operating table. He described in detail the ward and the actions of the doctors at the time of his death. The man was very afraid that the doctors would stop reviving him, and in every possible way tried to make it clear to them that he was alive …
Dutch scientists confirm their belief that consciousness is able to exist separately from the brain by the purity of experiments. To exclude the possibility of the appearance of so-called false memories (cases when a person, having heard stories from others about visions during clinical death, suddenly "recalls" something that he himself did not experience), religious fanaticism and other similar cases, scientists carefully studied all the factors that able to influence victim reports.
All respondents were mentally healthy. These were men and women aged from 26 to 92 years, with different levels of education, believers and do not believe in God. Some have previously heard about the "posthumous experience", others have not.
The general conclusions of the Dutch researchers are as follows:
- Posthumous visions in a person appear during the suspension of the brain.
- They cannot be explained by the lack of oxygen in the cells of the central nervous system.
- The depth of “near-death experiences” is greatly influenced by the gender and age of a person. Women tend to feel more intense than men.
- Most of the resuscitated who had a deeper "posthumous experience" died within a month after resuscitation measures.
- The experience of dying of the blind from birth does not differ from the impressions of the sighted.
All of the above gives grounds to assert that at the moment scientists have come close to the scientific substantiation of the immortality of the soul.
It remains for us to do just a little to realize that death is only a transfer station on the border between two Worlds, and to overcome the fear of its inevitability.
The question arises: where does the soul go after the death of a person?
“If you died after living an unrighteous life, you will not go to hell, but you will forever be on the earthly plane during the worst periods of humanity. If your life was flawless, then in this case you will find yourself on Earth, but in an age where there is no place for violence and cruelty."
This is the opinion of the French psychotherapist Michel Lerrier, author of the book "Eternity in a Past Life". He became convinced of this thanks to numerous interviews and hypnotic sessions with people who had been in a state of clinical death.
