Dr. Eben Alexander, formerly a Harvard Medical School associate professor in brain surgery, states: “Depending on whom you talk to, consciousness is either the greatest mystery facing scientific enquiry, or a total nonproblem. What’s surprising is just how many more scientists think it’s the latter. For many—maybe most—scientists, consciousness isn

Psychologist Dr. Imants Barušs and cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Julia Mossbridge make a similar point: “In neuroscience, we generally assume that mental clarity requires a functioning brain. Thus, the reason that mental clarity is unexpected in some of these [terminal lucidity] cases is the presence of obvious functional or structural brain patholo

mainstream science resists these ideas. It vehemently rejects the notion that consciousness can exist independently of the body.

Oxford physicist David Deutsch. Deutsch responded to Josephson’s comment: “It is utter rubbish… Telepathy simply does not exist. The Royal Mail has let itself be hoodwinked into supporting ideas that are complete nonsense.”

Savants pose perplexing questions for anyone studying the connection between the brain and consciousness. It is not understood how individuals with such brain impairment can simultaneously possess such remarkable mental abilities.

to be real:

The experiences could not be explained as mere hallucinations caused by a dying brain because in some cases the brain was “off” during the time of the lucid experience.

For example, physicist Dr. Stephen Hawking stated: “I get uneasy when people, especially theoretical physicists, talk about consciousness.”

information, and yet it violated everything I had been taught about physics. The experiments had been conducted in a heavily shielded room.…There was no known force which could explain these experiments. Even more disturbing was the way it was done. The remote viewer did not simply receive a signal from someone outside. He described the experiment
