Alien Encounters and Near-Death Experiences

In this episode I am talking about Alien Encounters and Near-Death Experiences Alien encounters and near-death experiences are usually treated as completely separate mysteries, but when the experiences and their long-term effects are compared, some striking similarities begin to appear. In this episode, I look at the possible connections between alien contact and the near-death experience. People from both groups have described encounters with intelligent beings, telepathic communication, strange environments, altered perceptions of time and journeys into realities that seem completely separate from everyday life. Some report meeting beings of light, while others struggle to decide whether the entities they encountered were extraterrestrial, spiritual or something that does not easily fit either description. I also explore the remarkable similarities in what happens afterwards. Both near-death experiencers and alien-contact experiencers can report reduced fear of death, increased spirituality, greater compassion, stronger intuition, less interest in material success and a new sense of purpose. Experiences that begin with fear or crisis can sometimes become deeply positive and transformational. The episode looks at the work of several important pioneers who investigated these connections, including Kenneth Ring, R. Leo Sprinkle, Greta Woodrew, Whitley Strieber and Harvard psychiatrist John Mack. Ring’s research was particularly important because he compared the aftereffects reported by near-death experiencers with those described by people claiming UFO encounters and found significant similarities between the two groups. I also examine unusual cases in which near-death experiences appear to include apparent extraterrestrial contact, including encounters with non-human beings, telepathic communication and journeys to other worlds. Could alien encounters and near-death experiences be different expressions of a larger mystery involving consciousness? Whatever their ultimate cause, both can leave people with the powerful feeling that human life is part of a much greater reality. https://simonbown.com/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFPMy book 'Aspects of Alien Abduction' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9YZen AI bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_paranormal Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
