New study of Near Death Experiences reveals that people experience `God`. A major result from Rene Jorgensen's new study of 16 near death experiences reveals that people overwhelmingly agree to call the core of their experience - an experience of `God`
When asked: “What would you describe the core or essence of your experience as”, the study found that 53 percent checked the box with “pure being”, and 60 percent said yes to “essence of existence.” Moving further into trying to put a name on this core or essence the consensus became higher with 73 percent agreeing to call it “the Light”, and a majority of 80 percent calling it “God.”
New NDE study launched to shed light on mind-body problem
The AWARE (AWAreness during Resuscitation) study was announced at the UN Symposium Beyond the Mind-Body Problem: New Paradigms in the Science of Consciousness, on September 11, 2008. The symposium at the United Nations featured some of the leading NDE researchers and other experts in the field of mind-body science.
The AWARE study is the first NDE research study launched by the Human Consciousness Project, which is led by Dr. Sam Parnia, an expert in consciousness during clinical death.
In this team, Dr. Parnia has other renowned experts; Dr. Peter Fenwick and Professors Stephen Holgate and Robert Peveler of the University of Southampton, and the study will be the first multi-center study working together with over 25 major medical centers in Europe, Canada and the United States.
The NDE study will use the latest technologies available to study the brain and consciousness during cardiac arrest. One aim of the study is to gain greater insights into what happens to consciousness during clinical death and the relationship between mind and brain.
Indisputable empirical evidence that the Near Death Experience does indeed happen during clinical death has long been an aim of NDE research, and the AWARE study will use hidden images that are only visible to the patients from outside the body. The study is predicting that people having NDEs during cardiac arrest will be able to identify the images from outside their bodies.
