Scientific Evidence for Survival Of consciousness
after death

• By J. Razjouyan

• Dr. Ken Ring published a paper in the Journal of
  Near-Death Studies (Summer, 1993) concerning
  near-death experiencers who, while out of their
  bodies,
• witness real events that occur far away from
  their dead body. The important aspect to this
  phenomenon is that these events seen far away are
  later verified to be true. Experiencers not only
  witness events from great distances, but they
  have been documented to hear conversations
  between people at the same events. Conversations
  such as these have also verified to be true. An
  even more fascinating phenomenon occurs when the
  experiencer actually appears in spirit to
  someone, usually a loved one, during their NDE
  and it is verified to be true by the experiencer
  and the loved one. It is evidence such as this,
  if scientifically controlled, that can provide
  absolute scientific proof that consciousness can
  exist outside of the body. A scientifically
  controlled NDE that can be repeated which
  provides such evidence would be the scientific
  discovery of all time. However, science does not
  yet have the exact tools to accomplish this. But,
  science is coming very, very close. This kind of
  evidence and others provide very strong
  circumstantial evidence for the survival of
  consciousness.

• For more than 50 years experimenters all over the
  world have been tape recording 'paranormal
  voices' -- voices which cannot be heard when a
  tape-recorder is playing but which can be heard
  when the tape is played back. Many of the very
  short messages claim to be from loved ones who
  have passed on. They are responsive, use the
  experimenter's name and answer questions. There
  are thousands of researchers around the world who
  have been researching this most fascinating
  psychic phenomenon. At the time of writing, the
  Internet search engine Google had almost 50,000
  listings for EVP. It is particularly relevant to
  my argument since it follows strict scientific
  procedures and experiments have been duplicated
  under laboratory conditions by all kinds of
  researchers in many different countries.
  Persistent investigators get a powerful shock
  when they decide to investigate electronic voice
  phenomena because by using the proper method of
  tape recording they are likely to hear voices of
  loved ones or friends who have died.

• "l could talk to the baby. It was amazing. I
  could not talk to the parents - my friends - but
  I could talk to the little boy who had just been
  born. I asked him what was wrong. No words were
  exchanged, but I asked him maybe through
  telepathy what was wrong. He told me that his arm
  hurt. And when he told me that, I was able to see
  that the bone was twisted and broken."

• The silver cord has been described as being
  smooth, very long, very bright, like an elastic
  cable made of light, about an inch wide,
  sparkling like a tinsel on a Christmas tree, and
  attached to one of several possible locations on
  the physical body. During the dying process, as
  the spirit body leaves the physical body and
  moves farther away it, the silver cord becomes
  thinner as it is stretched to its limit and
  becomes severed. When this occurs, the spirit
  body is released from being attached to the
  physical body. At this point, it becomes
  impossible for the spirit body to ever return to
  the physical body. For this reason, we can define
  "irreversible death" as that point when the
  silver cord becomes stretched to its limit and
  severed. This is the so-called "point of no
  return."

• When you die, the fixed measurement of earth time
  becomes soft and flexible. It stretches and
  shrinks like a rubber band. Entering the spirit
  realm feels like you were there just a few
  moments ago. Your time on earth seems like only a
  brief instance. You can examine the events of
  your past with great clarity and detail than you
  ever could in life. You can linger in your past
  for what seems like hours. When you are done, it
  seems like no time at all went by

The NDE and Music

• ccording to Dr. Joel Funk, a professor of
  psychology at Plymouth State College in New
  Hampshire, about 50 of near-death experiencers
  hear music during their NDE. They describe this
  music mostly as "music with a beautiful, floating
  sound." Dr. Funk played various kinds of music
  for 60 near-death experiencers and found that
  they identified New Age style synthesized music
  as nearest to what they had heard during their
  NDE. Dr. Funk comments, "Some people burst into
  tears when they recognize the music of their
  NDEs."
