QUESTION:"My name is Adam and I'm from the U.K. I've always been interested by the NDE idea and have read many books, etc., on the subject - your own among them. Maybe this is why I'm here. I have a problem that is making me question the existence of a soul and wondered what you'd say about this. Recently, we've been visiting a care home where my mother-in-law is, now after succumbing to a brain

I usually carry questions and answers on my blog.  This time it is an article about Sun Sign Astrology.  Now, hold on, don’t be confused about this.

QUESTION        “In the cardiac situation, a person is dead until/unless he is resuscitated.  Some who are resuscitated have had spiritual experiences; some have no memory of such.  One interpretation of this fact is that everyone cannot remember, although having had an actual experience.  Another interpretation is that not everyone who dies

Instead of a regular Question/Answer format this time, I am carrying an update from Tannis Prouten of Vancouver, B.C., Canada. Tannis was part of my original research base. Her case is in several of my books, one of them The Big Book of Near-Death Experiences. I think you will find what has been happening to her since very interesting.

QUESTION“I recalled that one of the changes you described in yourself after your NDE’s was that you could no longer attend funerals because you could see the deceased actually attending his/her own funeral, and you couldn’t keep from giggling at this site.“My questions is: did you know if these people had or had not had NDEs during their lifetime?

QUESTION“Although I don’t know how far your expertise extends beyond the field of NDEs, I still want to bring up this issue.

QUESTION:“So I know that you deal mainly with NDEs, but given your vast knowledge of what the soul experiences when detached from the body, I have a few questions regarding the soul.1.

My mom has told me

QUESTION:        “I sit at my computer and listen to your interviews on YouTube.  Thank God for YouTube!  I am struggling with spiritual issues:  particularly with my religious family and ‘friends.’  They claim to be Christians but refuse to help in any way if I ask. . . which I did several years ago after losing everything,

COMMENTS FROM GARY This is not a question, per se, but an interesting comment from a man becoming more spiritually aware. I’d like to share his letter with you. “I’ve been reading stories on your website and it compelled me to write to you.
