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), 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.

Sid is studying at Western University in London Ontario at the Brain and Mind Institute under the tutelage of Dr. Adrian Owen. Listen as we discuss some of the ways that the brain inputs information from the world around us, how that informs our perception of reality and how maybe, just maybe, we can figure our what consciousness is with the help of psychedelic medicine. Keeping in past themes, this conversation was just too good to cap at 1 hour so this is Part 2 where we delve into Buddhism, the soul and how consciousness plays into our personal identity.
