Beyond “After”: All the News That’s Not Fit to Print

Min.
A couple of years ago, Bruce Greyson published a book called “After,” summarizing his half century exploring near-death experiences. Since then he has received a number of e-mails from people who were disappointed that he didn’t discuss in his book a specific topic that they thought he either didn’t mention or shortchanged. Many of those topics were specific religious or spiritual traditions, philosophical perspectives, or neurophysiological models that they thought could explain NDEs. In this presentation, Bruce will review some of the many aspects of NDEs that disappointed readers thought he should have included, focusing on the most commonly mentioned topics: God, animals, reincarnation, the conflict between science and spirituality, and the ultimate meaning of NDEs.
Dr. Bruce Greyson is the Chester Carlson Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia. He co-founded the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS), and for 27 years edited the Journal of Near-Death Studies, the only scholarly journal dedicated to near-death research. Through his research, he has discovered common and universal themes in near-death experiences that go beyond neurophysiological or cultural interpretations, as well as patterns of consistent aftereffects on individuals’ attitudes, beliefs, values, and personalities. He was a co-editor of The Handbook of Near-Death Experiences: Thirty Years of Investigation. His most recent book, After: A Doctor Explores What Near-Death Experiences Reveal about Life and Beyond, is his first trade book bringing his scientific research to a popular audience.

Min.
Jeffrey Mishlove’s book, The PK Man published in 2000, describes a 10-year field investigation of Ted Owens (1920-1987) a man who demonstrated unusual macro-psychokinetic abilities. Owens claimed that UFO contacts were responsible for his ability to mentally influence large-scale weather systems as well as UFO sightings and other events. In December 2022, Jeffrey received a message from a New Thinking Allowed viewer in Germany who claimed that Ted Owens had reached out to him from the afterlife while he was meditating. In this session, Jeffrey will report on the results of that communication.
Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is host and producer of the New Thinking Allowed channel on YouTube. He is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “Parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the Grand Prize winner of the 2021 Bigelow Institute essay competition regarding the best evidence for survival of human consciousness after permanent bodily death.

Love as an Antidote to the Illusion of Separation

Rm 1 - Crystal Ballroom

Min.
A fundamental lesson of what happens when we die is the understanding that we are all in this together, bound through loving connections here on Earth, into the afterlife, and beyond. The science of entanglement verifies that these interconnections are real and not illusory. The human qualities of empathy and compassion, in their purest sense, are directly derived from that sense of oneness. Altruistic acts provide a feeling of connection, enabling us to transcend the sense that we are separate. This ultimate oneness we share emphasizes why caring for the least, the last, and the lost is vital to our modern society, in order to live up to its spiritual promise.
Eben Alexander, MD, was an academic neurosurgeon for over 25 years, including 15 years at the Brigham & Women’s Hospital, Children’s Hospital, and Harvard Medical School in Boston. In 2008, during a week-long coma from an inexplicable brain infection, he experienced a transcendental near-death experience (NDE) that completely transformed his worldview. A pioneering scientist and modern thought leader in the emerging science that acknowledges the primacy of consciousness in the universe, he is the author of the New York Times #1 bestseller Proof of Heaven, The Map of Heaven, and Living in a Mindful Universe. http://ebenalexander.com/

Karen Newell is an author and specialist in personal development with a diverse body of work that rests upon the foundation of heart-centered consciousness. As an innovator in the emerging field of brainwave entrainment audio meditation, Karen empowers others in their journeys of self-discovery by demonstrating how to connect to inner guidance, achieve inspiration, improve wellness, and develop intuition. She is co-founder of Sacred Acoustics and is co-author with Eben Alexander III, MD, of Living in a Mindful Universe. www.sacredacoustics.com

Impressions of Near-Death Experiences

Robert Coppes, PhD

Rm 1 - Crystal Ballroom

Min.
Based on quotes of more than 100 NDErs one can draw two important conclusions. The first is that LOVE is the most important thing there is, and that Unconditional Love awaits us when our body dies and our consciousness is released. The second message is that we are at least very thoroughly INTERCONNECTED with one another, with other animals, with nature, and in fact with all that exists. However, if we take a closer look at what many NDErs say, the conclusion could be more extreme than just this interconnectedness. It should probably be that we are all ONE, seen from another dimension. Love is what seems to bind us. People would see this truth if they would appreciate the circumstantial evidence in veridical observations. They would then be inspired to more loving actions and humanity could really take a beneficial next step forward.
Robert Christophor Coppes holds a PhD in economics. His conviction that NDEs are true spiritual experiences dates back to 1979 after reading Raymond Moody’s book “Life after Life.” His most recent book contains hundreds of quotes of more than 100 NDErs, and he says that in fact NDErs are the writers of this book. In 2006, he wrote a book in which he compared the essences of NDEs with those of five world religions. A few years later he wrote “Messages from The Light”, which was also translated in Dutch and German.

William is a global leader in shared death studies and end-of-life phenomenon. He teaches methods to facilitate the shared death experience and to assist experiencers in meaningfully integrating their experiences. His work is informed by his two NDEs and a variety of shared crossings.

serves as Trustee. From 2005-09, she was a Director for an international women’s organization based in Washington, D.C. where she developed a global network of
hundreds of women, connecting them to women in the United States.

Coming back from an NDE with a love for all can be so annoying. And how exactly does one get through the world after a love-infused spiritual experience when the world seems less than eager for a hug? Finding the funny helps. Or at least finding a wry chuckle, both of which will be available during this presentation.

From Pre-Birth to Earth: Expressing our True Nature of Love While Human

Christian Sundberg, BA

3:45 pm
ET
Rm 2 - Washington
60
Min.
As a pre-birth experiencer, Christian will speak about why love is so important to the human journey. He will do so by attempting to describe what we truly are, and the value of the human experience to the soul as an opportunity for the expansion and actualization of our true loving nature.
When Christian was a young child, he remembered his existence before coming to Earth. While that memory left him completely for his early adult life, it spontaneously returned 13 years ago as Christian took up a meditation practice and went through a personal awakening journey. He also began to have Out of Body Experiences (OBEs). Professionally, Christian has worked for 15 years as a project manager for complex nuclear pump and valve manufacturing projects, and now for an insurance company. Christian is the author of the book A Walk in the Physical, which attempts to succinctly describe the larger spiritual context in which we exist and the importance of love in our human journey. Christian has also presented at over 100 public speaking events, as he now seeks to remind others in at least a small part of who we all really are beneath the human “play.”

Rev. Angelia LaRue will discuss the non-localness of consciousness giving examples from two different post graduate studies and experiments she was involved with the University of Boulder. With excerpts from the post graduate student Kavan Ganapathy who designed, led the project and gathered and compiled the data from over three months of bi-weekly time jumps. She will discuss surprising and startling issues she ran into traveling out of body and various ways those were solved. Her presentation will end with some exciting Intergalactic travels done outside of scientific protocol based experimentation and done just for pleasure, which will include sketches and drawing from the participants of those travels.
Angelia LaRue >> Angie had a radical spontaneous Awakening of Consciousness, while going about an ordinary Hawaiian day as a professional artist and housewife in 2011. She had a radical Kundalini Awakening while on her way into the kitchen to get a drink of water. Within three months, her life in Hawaii abruptly ended and she was thrust out onto the road to learn with Spirit as her Teacher with only two suitcases. She was reeling from the full explosion of psychic abilities, and the sudden awareness of subtle energy. Now, 10 years from the awakening day, she has integrated all aspects of herself and is deeply dedicated to Service through Love.

PMH will share what it has been like to carry out the instructions given to her during her third near-death experience (NDE) from “The Voice Like None Other.” She was told to research the NDE phenomena. She spoke with, interviewed, and sometimes observed, nearly 5,000 adults and children over a 44-year timeframe which resulted in her authoring 18 books about NDEs or related subjects. Her research style is similar to a police officer’s style, as she is a cop’s kid, and was “raised in a police station.” She will share her own story and highlight the stories of others, and speak about what she discovered along the way.
PMH Atwater, LHD, began her research of the near-death phenomenon in 1978, after having had three such experiences in three months in 1977. To date, her work covers nearly 5,000 adult and child experiencers. Some of her findings have been verified in clinical studies, among them the prospective study done in Holland and published in the peer-reviewed general medical journal, The Lancet. She created and incorporated Inner Forum, Idaho’s first metaphysical non-profit organization, and over 3,000 people have participated in its programs. She is the author of 18 books, including her latest book, “Edge Walker”. http://pmhatwater.com
