Drawing on a 5-year clinical study of near-death experiences, a doctor presents riveting patient stories to explore how NDEs can empower us and society as a whole.
By trying to pathologize NDEs, are we missing out on what they can tell us about life?
Dr. Penny Sartori is a registered nurse who began researching Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) in 1995 after one of her long-term intensive care patients begged her to let him die in peace. Inspired by this encounter, she went on to research NDEs in a PhD program,where she learned profound spiritual lessons and made startling discoveries that she now shares inThe Wisdom of Near-Death Experiences.
During her academic work, Dr. Sartori studied three samples of ICU patients during a five-year period. Here, she recounts the eye-opening stories of those patients who experienced NDEs and out-of-body experiences (OBEs). In one group, as many as 18% of patients experienced an NDE-though Patient #10 stood out among the others. After being unresponsive, he awoke to report he had experienced an OBE. He was able to describe what happened in the hospital room while he was unconscious and claimed he met not only his deceased father but a Jesus-like figure. Most shocking of all, he had regained the use of his hand-which had been paralyzed since birth.
When talking about the biggest takeaways from her research, Dr. Sartori shares how her findings have made her question the common belief that the brain gives rise to consciousness. Most importantly, she has gained a deeper appreciation for death-an experience she now views with less fear and anxiety.
In addition to detailing dozens of case studies,The Wisdom of Near-Death Experiencesalso discusses childhood NDEs, the differences in NDEs among different cultures, and the after-effects of NDEs.
