After | Free Book
The world's leading expert on near-death experiences reveals his
journey toward rethinking the nature of death, life, and the
continuity of consciousness.
Cases of remarkable experiences on the threshold of death have been
reported since ancient times, and are described today by 10% of
people whose hearts stop. The medical world has generally ignored
these “near-death experiences,” dismissing them as “tricks of the
brain” or wishful thinking. But after his patients started
describing events that he could not just sweep under the rug, Dr.
Bruce Greyson began to investigate.
As a physician
without a religious belief system, he approached near-death
experiences from a scientific perspective. In After, he
shares the transformative lessons he has learned over four decades
of research. Our culture has tended to view dying as the end of our
consciousness, the end of our existence—a dreaded prospect that for
many people evokes fear and anxiety.
But Dr. Greyson
shows how scientific revelations about the dying process can support
an alternative theory. Dying could be the threshold between one form
of consciousness and another, not an ending but a transition. This
new perspective on the nature of death can transform the fear of
dying that pervades our culture into a healthy view of it as one
more milestone in the course of our lives. After challenges
us to open our minds to these experiences and to what they can teach
us, and in so doing, expand our understanding of consciousness and
of what it means to be human.
