Science of the Near-Death Experience with Pim van Lommel

Pim van Lommel, MD, is a cardiologist who has pioneered the prospective study of near-death experiences among cardiac arrest patients. He is the author of Conciousness Beyond Life.

Here he describes the essential details of his research — which has now been replicated in three other studies. Approximately 10 – 20% of cardiac arrest patients studied reported elements of the classic near-death experience. No factors were discovered that could differentiate the survivors who had an NDE from those who did not. All brain activity ceases after cardiac arrest. So, researchers were surprised to learn of the vibrant experiences reported by many — including experiences of clairvoyance or nonlocal consciousness.

New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980).
