  1. I once had a communication on psychedelic mushrooms with some entity with extreme sharp intelligence. As our communication went on, I in my awe and wonder wanted to take notes.. A sharp and clear voice said then to me.

    -Stop it!! You need not remember anything, except what you forgot.

  2. NDE it's when the patient is arrested and unable to wake up usually antithesia prevents the brain from booting the patient awake or they are arrested and can not obtain consciousness.

    So this is where it gets weird because the brain sensing trauma then attempts to use the subconscious to boot the patient awake the subconscious isn't designed to work that way the brain dose it anyway failing to wake them but instead causing the subconscious to become lucid instead and active causing rem to occur where the subconscious begins to dream, The patient reaches a state of awareness realising something's wrong and thier altered awareness in combination with the antithesia experience makes them feel like it's an out of body experience with a psychotropic sense of well being or dread depending on how they react to the psychotropic effects of the antithesia the patient under normal conditions wouldn't ever be aware of. Inducing a drug induced trip magnified by thier realization that they are dying, Because they are cut off from thier consciousness they are in a highly unusual state where the brain is attempting to use the subconscious as a back up to wake them causing the subconscious to lucid dream but it's not a normal rem condition because under normal conditions the rem state is followed with cycles of dreamless sleep where the subconscious and conscious brain communicate in cycles with each other, Completely cut off from the conscious brain the lucid subconscious in conjunction with awareness of the psychotropic effects of the antithesia the patient enters into a altered state of consciousness alien to the brain placing the patient into a suggistable lucid state of awareness where thier fears and beliefs are magnified under a state of high self suggestibility similar to hypnosis except it's the patients own belief system calling the shots creating the NDE based apon thier beliefs and expectations pleasant or unpleasant however the experience may be

    There's a 6 minute window before the brain begins to die and suffer brain damage, How often do you see NDE patients return with brain damage that have similar effects as stroke victims because if a patient did go past the 6 minute window it's highly unlikely they would come back unefected as if no brain damage occured.
    Arrested the patient isn't dead not until the 6 minute window expires where oxygen still trapped in the cells of the brain and cells of the body expire and the cells begin to break down rapidly at this point and this is the point where it's difficult to bring a patient back because the micro cellular damage complicates bringing them back after this point.

    What allot of people don't seem to understand is it takes time to for an undamaged body to die after they stop breathing and thier heart stops, at this point the body is in a sort of standby mode even though no blood is flowing the tissues of the body will remain healthy for a very small window of time before damage actually starts to occur.

    Just because your heart stops and you stop breathing doesn't not mean you died yet it only means you've become arrested which isn't death, That begins to happen 6 minutes later as cells begin to die.

    So unless you cross the 6 minute threshold whatever the NDE phenomenon, You technically haven't actually died.
    I believe 10 minutes is the final call for brain death, and 15 to 30 minutes if you're rescued from freezing temperatures because the cold slows down the cellular degradation.

    Now the spritual part is this part of the process where God is communicating with them even if they haven't passed yet out of mercy?

    As in granting a second chance.

    Personally I don't understand why God far more advanced then we are would even send souls to hell considering where barely Apes and why would you torture an animal for eternity?

  3. Bernardo Kastrup is not reckoning with the NDE evidence. He recounted the NDEs of two individuals who described an expanded consciousness but not a universal consciousness in which the individual no longer exists. Expanded consciousness is evidently not the same as universal consciousness. Some kind of individuality seems to be retained, even if the boundaries of the self are significantly enlarged.

  4. I think in a sense animals do ask why actually. We know animals and especially cats are very curious and often display intelligence . If they are curious then is it a stretch to assume they are wondering about the world around them too ? Also I am not sure of this researcher's views but I know this audience knows of many NDE accounts where our pets are with us in heaven and communicate with us in that realm so they must posses an understanding and intelligent

  5. Jeff, I have watched many of Bernardo’s interviews and they are always great, but this one that you conducted was just so awesome!
    You asked questions that I would have asked and his answers were mind blowing!
    I have also listened to many interviews of NDEs that you made on your channel, and with the help of Bernardo and others like him I am starting to see “the big picture”, so to speak!
    Thank you!

  6. If you do not maintain who you are and your memories are ‘lost’ then you are no longer you ….. you are recycled and other than your essence you no longer exist …. Friends and families, experiences all gone – now that does not go down well…… !

  7. He compared nature (which made us) with a cat. According to that we know more then “nature” (whatever that may be) which made all of those amassing things including us and our brain. We have plans but nature which so obviously going to reach new level, that we can not dream of, that nature have just instinct. Who made that instinct that is so well heading towards goals? Human? If it is possible I would like Bernardo answers me, so we can going forward in this discussion. ☀️

  8. In trying to find spirituality in Kastrup's viewpoint, I'm glad he allows for dissociation to be hierarchical, allowing for dissociation to continue in astral etc bodies. Interesting that FWH Myers calls the astral levels the plane of illusion.

  9. In dream yoga, one learns how to do many things in the various dream states. I taught my child, from three years old, how to interact with dream characters in various ways. He took to it naturally. He is very creative in his dreams at 47. We cannot control daily life or dreams, but we can choose our actions, point of attention, and perspectives. This makes a huge difference in our experience. Self-mastery is the key, rather than trying to control others or the environment.

  10. Nobody has any answers, I’ve also have heard of this telepathy dream yet it was two people that had the same dream, the grandmother had died previously. The dream was to tell the family members that their daughter/niece who was in hospital with a brain tumour will recover and be ok. She recovered. What was it? Science cannot explain.

  11. The body, as Kastrup says, is a configuration of consciousness; but there's no reason to think that your ego consciousness, which is in consciousness, does not continue to exist after the death of the body. Hoffman is open to that possibility too. Moreover, NDE research tends to confirm that there is some kind of 'self' after death.
