I myself had a really tough time parting ways with society’s most fundamental materialist rule, which holds that all things can be explained physically and therefore consciousness is confined to the brain. After I, as an adamant though alcoholic atheist in 1982, underwent a three-minute cardiac arrest, shot out of my body, travelled through a landscape, and eventually communicated telepathically with a tremendously loving being, I came back to life faced with an existential dilemna. That had to have been some kind of brain shut-down, right?
But, as I explain in my book, my energetic filter had been damaged, so the after-effects kept coming: 5 years later I witnessed a ghost; 10 years later I foreknew a death; 12 years later, the same loving being busted into my consciousness to pretty much strike me sober. I’ve since interviewed dozens of NDErs whose stories overlap with mine.
My book — Die-Hard Atheist: from NDE-Denier to Full-on Woo-Woo — is available at Cloud & Leaf Books or Manzanita News & Espresso, as well as via the evil empire (Amazon), where it’s garnered a 4.5 rating (85 reviews). The link is just below. A few Manzanita locals have read and enjoyed the book. Email me to find out whether you already know one of them or if you’d like to buy an author copy directly from me.

PS: If you’re not into buying anything but are willing to look into science beyond materialism, a good starting point is the increasingly popular podcast, The Telepathy Tapes, available everywhere.
