New Research on the Brain at Death

 
Dr Sam Parnia led the AWARE Study, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2014/10/proof-of-life-after-death.html, but its failure it has led him to become a bit of a skeptic. I think he's being premature in that respect. As I explain in my article about AWARE, it was unlikely to give definitive results from the start because of practicalities. The conditions were inevitably insecure by the very nature of what was being studied. Flatliners is not real; you cannot actually kill people under laboratory conditions unless you're Josef Mengele. Dr Parnia is not giving up on near-death experience research, but he is currently exploring a materialistic spin-off about sensory awareness during death and, pretty scarily, after death. It has been discovered from various experiments that just before death there is a huge spike in brain activity. This occurs after all other neurological functions have ceased. This could involve the senses. Despite what you see in the movies, most people's eyes close when they die, so sight would not be a significant burden, however your hearing would be a living... only just... nightmare. You might even be able to listen to resuscitation doctors announcing your own death and drawing lots for your kidneys. Source: http://www.thescienceandspace.com/2019/11/after-death-youre-aware-that-youve-died.html. This would be a terrifying experience, but luckily it would not last long. The spike in EEG signals eventually ceases and the brain enters its terminal shutdown. You would certainly not be around when your body is cremated or buried. I have not looked it up yet, but I have no doubt skeptics like Susan Blakmore will claim that this terminal surge in brain activity explains the near-death experience phenomenon. From reading detailed reports of NDE's I currently find that implausible, but I'm interested to look further.

Agreed Ben. Materialist scientists are forever trying to explain away the possibility of life after death. Do you know who knows better? The NWO is who! I believe there is a misconception that the NWO is atheist (or whatever); on the contrary, they are as aware or more aware as anyone as to the spiritual dimension.

They are, Laurence, in their own Satanic way. It seems that they used to use off-the-shelf organized religions to control us, but now they combine those with militant "New" atheism and the skeptic movement. Have you seen my Skeptics video? You'll enjoy that. The truth of spirituality is indeed suppressed in a surprisingly similar way to that of the extraterrestrial intelligence.

Many thanks Ben, I will have a view of the film.
