Dr. Bruce Greyson- Near-Death Experiences, Consciousness of Science & Scientists - IANDS NDE

Dr. Bruce Greyson, University of Virginia Professor Emeritus, and leading expert in near-death experience (NDE) research , discusses why the science of consciousness can be elevated only when the consciousness of scientists themselves has been elevated. He argues that science and spirituality are not only compatible, but only a marriage of the two can provide an accurate description of reality.

About Dr. Bruce Greyson
Dr. Bruce Greyson is the Chester Carlson Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia. He was previously on the medical faculty at the University of Michigan and the University of Connecticut, where he was Clinical Chief of Psychiatry. Dr. Greyson has consulted with the National Institutes of Health and addressed symposia on consciousness at the United Nations and at the Dalai Lama’s compound in Dharamsala, India. He has earned awards for his medical research and was elected a Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, the highest honor bestowed by that organization.

Dr. Greyson’s interest in near-death experiences began just a few months after graduating from medical school, when he treated an unconscious patient in the emergency room who stunned him the next morning with an account of leaving her body. That event challenged his beliefs about the mind and the brain, and ultimately led him on a journey to study near-death experiences scientifically, leading to more than a hundred publications in medical journals. He co-founded the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS), an organization to support and promote research into these experiences, and for 27 years edited the Journal of Near-Death Studies, the only scholarly journal dedicated to near-death research. Through his research, he has discovered common and universal themes in near-death experiences that go beyond neurophysiological or cultural interpretations, as well as patterns of consistent aftereffects on individuals’ attitudes, beliefs, values, and personalities.

Dr. Greyson is the author of "After: A Doctor Explores What Near-Death Experiences Reveal About Life and Beyond". The book challenges our everyday ideas about our minds and our brains and offers key insights on how we can begin to live a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

When my grandfather had an NDE back in 2005, he reported seeing many dead relatives including an estranged cousin he didn't even know had passed a few months earlier.

[melittaramsey]

I just love Dr. Grayson's emotions as he tells the stories. He's profoundly touched by them. What a beautiful soul.

[Llerrah]

I simply cannot believe so few subscribers. I've been studying these for about three years now. This is need to know information! Godspeed folks

[Kate-kpgx]

I love his emotional delivery. Very heartfelt..

[HelloAllie]

Finding IANDS & listening to NDE's ESPECIALLY narrated by Lee Whitting has become my new favorite thing ♡!!! These stories have given me a renewed excitement appreciation & respect for this human life experience my soul chose to have at this time♡ THANK YOU

[crownhic]

There are thousands of these stories on YouTube alone, and people still don’t believe. Amazing story! Wow!

[drewesalan]

Dr. Greyson and his colleagues have brought the mystery of NDE into the public arena using scientific constructs to support these experiences in concrete terms.

“Death is not extinguishing the light; it is only putting out the candle because the dawn has come.”

[biancacox]

Did it not amaze anyone else how after ALL these many years this story STILL brings THIS much emotion to this lovely physician?? My husband too is a very humble, compassionate physician...yet all the masses want to do is hate on doctors and they forget that there are many out there who are the good ones🥰🙏

[foreststroble]

I am in awe at how small this subject of study is. It literally has highly intelligent individuals giving honest testimonies. With no personal gain for it. Glad I've found it without having an NDE.

[anthonylim]

Dr Greyson, you’ve inspired me with your lecture. My brother had just died of covid. But now it brings me great comfort & joy to know that he’s in a much beautiful place. God bless you with the work you do.

[samjohnson]

Thank you for sharing this video! Dr. Bruce Greyson does a great job clearly explaining why near-death experiences have lead him to a different understanding of consciousness and why it matters. It's hard to believe he's been involved in NDE research for over 40 years. Can't wait to read his new book AFTER!

[myfavs]

That is a good man talking. Wise and brilliant. But even more, a good man who loves truth. I am looking forward to buying Dr. Grayson's book 'After' when it is published

[mariaphillips]

It is so nice to see a psychiatrist talking about N.D.E.s!!! It is time for all the scientific community to open their minds up, and do more research about N.D.E.s and start talking to people, listen to the ones who are having the experience.!!!

[hiku]

I am really touched by you being emotionally touched. Thank you for bringing this knowledge into the world. 🙏

[einblicke-ins-jenseits]

Bruce Greyson is a scientific pioneer and a very honest, credible person.

[DearProfessorRF]

Can’t wait for January 6,
“A new Netflix docuseries, Surviving Death, will feature interviews from scientists, mediums, paranormal experts and child psychiatrists to explore near-death experiences, seances and other after-death communications, and past-life recollections.” “the series will include some familiar IANDS faces- Dr. Bruce Greyson, Kim Clark Sharp, Jose Hernandez, Dr. Mary Neal and Stephanie Arnold!”

When I was four years old I had a near-death experience. I was paddling in the sea and my parents were not watching me but chatting with friends. A big wave knocked me over and I found myself looking up flat on my back under the water, which was fast filling my lungs. The only unpleasant sensation I felt was the taste of the salt. I had no fear. A bright light was above me which I took to be the sun, but it made me feel safe. The next thing I felt was my father hitting my back, and water running from my mouth. Little did I know that the man who saved my life that day would go on to abuse me physically and mentally for years. The experience left me with a profound feeling for the rest of my life that I had one foot in this life and one foot still in the place that had come to take me home. If I could have gone home that day, it would have saved a lot of pain and unhappiness. ?

[lisahart]

Brilliant explanation makes sense to me we are a spirit having a human experience in a body Then we die and go back to what we always were free spirit

[Hat]

Great presentation. The evidence is so compelling, it must be a source of great cognitive dissonance for any naysaying scientist or science lover who happens to take the time to listen. For me it is a great comfort and inspiration. Thanks.
