It is a challenge for science to develop new hypotheses that might explain the clear functioning of consciousness during a period of apparent coma, raising the question of whether mind and consciousness may not result exclusively from brain activity. The possibility of a nonlocal mind that is mediated but not produced by the brain has been raised by many scientific researchers. Most notably, neuropsychiatrist and neurophysiologist, Peter Fenwick, M.D., President of the British branch of the International Association for Near-Death Studies, and Sam Parnia, M.D.director of research of cardiopulmonary resuscitation at NYU Langone Medical Center, and Director of The AWARE Study (Awareness During Resuscitation).
There is overwhelming evidence of nonlocal consciousness after bodily death. There is a vast body of evidence pointing to an afterlife.
“There is currently more scientific evidence to the reality of a near-death experience (NDE) than there is for how to effectively treat certain forms of cancer,” states radiation oncologist —Jeffrey Long author of Evidence of the Afterlife: The Science of Near-Death Experiences. Dr. Long founded the Near-Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF.org) with the goal of creating a forum for near death “experiencers” to share their stories. NDERF is grounded in first-hand evidence culled from over 4,700 verified NDE accounts.
