・DISCOVERING WHO AND WHAT WE ARE・
A Dutch hospital cardiologist’s best-selling study of NDEs is now available in English.
From 1977 to 2003, Dr. Pim van Lommel (b.1943) worked as a cardiologist at the Rijnstate Hospital, an 800-bed teaching hospital in Arnhem in the Netherlands. He published several professional papers on cardiology, and, in September 2006, he received a Life Time Achievement Award at the World Congress on Clinical and Preventive Cardiology in New Delhi.
HealthForumOnline (HFO), a provider of online continuing education (CE) for psychologists, social workers, counselors, nurses and other allied healthcare professionals in the US, has announced the addition of a new online course, Near-Death Experiences: Implications for Clinical Practice.
Susie Schecter is a writer and teacher based in Orange County, California. In 2001, she and her new boyfriend experienced several “meaningful coincidences” around the start of their relationship. “This feels like it was meant to be,” he said. They decided to turn to hypnotic past life regression to uncover whether they were soul mates or if they had ever met in another life.

This just in from Dan Gaylinn of the Association of Transpersonal Psychology:
This link [above] leads to a video passed along to me by Charles Tart, leading researcher and scholar of transpersonal psychology and altered states of consciousness. It is a 20 minute interview of four extraordinary (but typical) near-death experiencers that was put together by Kenneth Ring in the early days of the research. Only recently has it been made available on the internet as it was only previously available as an Umatic video tape costing more than $300, which made it difficult to find and watch, despite Charley’s wish to show it every class he’s taught for the past 20 years.
Has a simple rational explanation for near-death experiences finally been found?
First there came a Google news announcement:
Then other news outlets repeated the story, essentially word-for-word but with increasingly emphatic headlines.

Recent advances in neuroscience are revealing the relationships between complex mental processes and brain activity. It is even possible to identify specific brain sites involved in spirituality. But does this mean, then, that spirituality is nothing but a product of the brain — and perhaps a faulty one at that?

It’s nothing short of a miracle whenever someone experiences a spiritual awakening. It is all the more impressive when such an experience happens not to a Buddhist monk or a New Age seeker but to an A-list Hollywood actor.
