We Don't Die Radio

What happens when a hardcore materialist and theoretical physicist investigates the ultimate mystery? Today, I'm joined by Dr. Vera Spillner—a philosopher, professor, and expert in string theory who spent years believing the physical brain completely created human consciousness. After studying the profound accounts of near-death experiencers, Vera discovered stunning parallels between what people report from the other side and the fundamental laws of theoretical physics. By applying her scientific background to the ultimate question of what happens when we die, she found incredible evidence that our souls continue on. In this episode, we dive into: * The "Receiver Theory" of Consciousness: Why neurobiology cannot prove the brain creates the mind, and how we might just be antennas tuning into the "music" of the soul. 
 * Entanglement and Oneness: How quantum physics suggests that everything in the universe is fundamentally connected, perfectly mirroring the oneness felt during an NDE. 
 * The Illusion of Time: How Einstein's block universe echoes the timelessness reported on the other side. 
 * The Evolutionary Flaw of the Life Review: Why experiencing a calm, ethical review of your life moments before death is a complete waste of biological energy—and acts as proof that our souls continue on to learn and grow. 
 * The Veridical NDE of Vincenz Henzler: How a German farmer returned from a tragic tractor accident with the unexplainable ability to paint Divinely inspired masterpieces. 
 Dr. Spillner also shares the profound impact of the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS).

Join Sandra for an incredible, in-depth conversation with Makai Ellias Calles, a health reporter for The Epoch Times and host of the fascinating YouTube show, The Upgrade. Makai's background is deeply rooted in rigorous science—holding degrees in biomedical sciences and classical humanities, conducting research at the University of Maryland, and serving as a visiting scholar at Harvard University. However, his personal journey into the mysteries of consciousness began at just seven years old when a venomous scorpion sting in Mexico led to a vivid out-of-body experience. In this episode, we dive deep into his breathtaking new documentary, "Final Hours: Is Death Really the End?:, and explore the profound empirical evidence that consciousness survives physical death. We discuss the details of some of the most compelling NDE cases in the world, including: -Dr. Eben Alexander:The neurosurgeon who journeyed to the afterlife while his neocortex was completely offline, and the stunning validation he received involving a biological sister he had never met. -Anita Moorjani: Her miraculous, spontaneous healing from terminal cancer after her near-death experience taught her that fear was the root of her illness and that she must return to live fearlessly. -Bubba Herrick:  A 19-year-old baseball player who experienced a profound life review, played basketball in heaven with his late stepdad, and returned to Earth with a mission to never live with regret. -Tricia Barker: he incredible "veridical perception" of seeing her health-nut stepfather buying a Snickers bar from a vending machine while her consciousness was floating outside her body. Makai also shares life-changing insights from his show, The Upgrade, explaining how science proves that living with gratitude, awe, and generosity actively improves our physical health and immune systems. This episode is a beautiful reminder that our actions have a massive "ripple effect" and that we are all meant to live fearlessly and love deeply. *WATCH the Documentary: https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/final-hours-is-death-really-the-end-6027582 *CONNECT with Makai Ellias Calles on his website: https://makailee.com/ *WATCH his YouTube show "The Upgrade": https://www.youtube.com/@UpgradeWithMakaiEl%C3%ADasCalles CONNECT WITH SANDRA CHAMPLAIN:  Don't miss my "Shades of the Afterlife' Podcast with the BEST of all topics about the afterlife: https://omny.fm/shows/shades-of-the-afterlife * Website (Free book by joining the 'Insiders Club, Free empowering Sunday Gatherings with medium demonstration, Mediumship Classes & more): http://wedontdie.com *Patreon (Early access, PDF of over 850 episodes & more visit https://www.patreon.com/wedontdieradio Thank you for listening!!!

During that time, her soul transitioned to the afterlife where she was engulfed in a most profound blissful love, a love that completely transformed her. She encountered spirit beings that wanted her help, and other spirit beings that gave her the choice to return with the condition of using and sharing what she learned with others.Fear prevented her from doing it, and fear ruled her as she struggled for many years integrating back into her old life. When crisis hit her family, Krista knew it was time to start living the life she came back to live, and fulfill the promise she made in the afterlife. Using the knowledge she was given, Krista transformed into the love she knew herself to be, a transformation that ultimately saved her entire family.Krista shares the Twelve Principles For Daily Living that are tools she used to realign herself with the love she was in the afterlife, a love that resulted in profound healing.

Retired US Navy Commander calls herself a psychic "ghost helper" not a ghost hunter.  This is a very interesting interview the likes we have never heard on We Don't Die Radio. I was very intrigued to interview Tina after receiving a copy of her book 'Ghost Stories From the Ghosts' Point of View.' She certainly as credibility with me telling her Navy background and how other commanders also use their 'gut instincts' on ships and submarines. That instinct is really is psychic ability. Tina states that when our bodies die, we first go to a place she calls the 4th dimension before 'going through the light' into heaven. Some souls who have unfinished business, regrets, worries or confusion can get trapped there. We call these people 'ghosts.'In this episode Tina explains this and gives her first hand account of some of the souls that needed help moving on. She gives us tools to help them move on…something we can ALL do. Ever heard the expression "What possessed you to do that?" Well, some of these ghosts can attach themselves to us giving us a difficult time living our lives. She also talks about physics behind metaphysics, remote viewing and spiritual law in this episode.Tina is the author of 4 books including volume 1 and 2 of "Ghost Stories from the Ghost's point of View," The Lightworker's Guide to Everyday Karma" and "The Lightworker’s Guide to Healing Grief."
