Humanity has long ago decided the question of whether there is life after death. "There is!" - all religions and the majority of philosophical teachings affirm without exception. However, with the spread of atheism, this question arose again, and scientists were divided into two opposite camps. And while they argue, news from the other world continues to come to believers and unbelievers, and it is hardly worth brushing off this fact, referring to the dishonesty or abnormality of contactees with the other world.
Knowledgeable ghost
“There is an afterlife. - Wang argued, - the dead continue to live a new life in the other world. Their souls are among us. There are many confirmations of this. For example, in her autobiographical book Natalya Petrovna Bekhtereva, an academician, a world-renowned neurophysiologist, told how, after her husband's death, his ghost began to come to her not only at night, but also during the day, sharing important thoughts that he did not have time to express during his lifetime.
Bekhtereva assures that she was not at all scared, since she did not doubt the reality of what was happening. The ghost was well aware of the life of Natalya Petrovna, everything he predicted came true to the extent that the lost documents ended up in the place to which he pointed. “What it was - the product of the work of my mind, which was in a state of stress. or something else, - I don't know, - Bekhtereva summed up. - One thing I know for sure - he didn’t imagine.”
“If the assumption about the materiality of the soul is correct. - writes the American physicist David Suscett, - that "guests from the past" is not a play of a frustrated imagination, but a very real phenomenon. " According to the scientist, who actually repeated the words of Bekhtereva, contact with the dead is not available to everyone, but only to people who are in a special state of altered consciousness that occurs under severe stress or in an extreme situation.
Perhaps, however, it also occurs when the messenger from the "otherworld" has an urgent need to get in touch with living people.

They are only on business
Edgar Cayce, who made more than 25 thousand predictions, became widely known due to the fact that, entering an altered state of consciousness, he diagnosed the disease to strangers and indicated ways to cure ailments with an accuracy of 80-100%. Struck by an incurable disease, he died on the day and hour indicated by him, promising to be reborn in 2100 and personally verify the truth of his prophecies. In what form the rebirth will take place, the "sleeping prophet" did not specify, but the spirits, or ghosts of the dead, from the other world sometimes do return.
In early 2005, a story about a resident of Novosibirsk, Maria Lazarevna Babushkina, was shown on television. who went with the search engines to the place of death of her father, a participant in the Great Patriotic War. The woman said that her father's voice led her, and it was thanks to him that the burial site was discovered.
In recent years, the media have repeatedly reported anomalous phenomena in Myasnoy Bor (Novgorod Region), where the spirits of soldiers not buried as they should go to single search engines and tell them where to dig. Their information is usually. turns out to be reliable.
Often, guests from the other world are deceased pets, which sometimes save the lives of the owners. In the late 1990s, the American magazine "Weekly World News" told about a car driver driving at high speed along a mountain serpentine. Suddenly, before the next turn, a dog ran across the road. If he hadn't braked sharply, the car would have crashed into a huge boulder for sure. fallen from the top of the mountain. The driver's savior was the ghost of his dog. deceased for several years.
Our brain is just a tool
The authoritative British scientific journal "The Lancet" published an article "The Posthumous Experience of People. cardiac arrest survivors: a focused study of the situation by a task force in the Netherlands. The main conclusion made by the authors of the article is that consciousness is not an integral function of the brain and continues to exist even when it ceases to function. That is, the brain is not a thinking matter, but just a communicator. A group of British researchers from a clinic in Southampton came to the same conclusions.
And here is one of the many stories that prove it.
Galina Lagoda from Kaliningrad got into a car accident and was taken to the regional hospital with severe brain injuries, ruptured kidneys, lungs, spleen and liver, and many fractures. Heart stopped. the pressure was at zero.
“Having flown through the black space, I found myself in a shining, light-flooded space,” she later said. “Before me stood a huge man in dazzling white clothes. I could not see his face because of the light flux directed at me. "Why did you come here?" he asked sternly. "I am very tired, let me rest a little." "Take a rest and come back - you still have a lot to do."
Having regained consciousness after two weeks between life and death, the patient told the head of the intensive care unit Yevgeny Zatovka. how the operations were carried out, which of the doctors stood where and what they did, what equipment was brought, from which cabinets what was taken out.
After another operation, Galina asked the doctor during the morning round, “Well. how is your stomach? From amazement, he did not know what to answer - indeed, he was tormented by pains in his stomach.
Later, the woman showed a healing gift. She was especially successful in healing fractures and ulcers. Galina lives in harmony with herself, believes in God and is not afraid of the transition to another world.
The same, however, can be said about most other people, one way or another, received news from the "otherworld".
