Is consciousness a product of the brain, or is the brain merely a filter for a much grander reality? Join us for an extraordinary conversation with Dr. Jeffrey Long, a leading radiation oncologist and the founder of the Near-Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF). With a database of over 5,000 verified cases, Dr. Long provides the most compelling scientific evidence to date that life continues after the heart stops.
In this episode, we go beyond the “white light” and “tunnel” clichés to explore the complex, hyper-lucid elements of the NDE. Dr. Long breaks down the phenomenon of Accelerated Consciousness, where survivors report thinking faster and more clearly than ever before—even while clinically dead. We dive into the mystery of Spherical Vision (360-degree perception), a state where experiencers describe seeing in all directions simultaneously, transcending the limits of human biology.
We also explore the 12 core elements of the NDE, including:
• Veridical Out-of-Body Experiences (OBEs): Documented cases where patients accurately described medical procedures or conversations that happened while they were flatlined.
• Heightened Senses: Why NDErs describe the colors, sounds, and textures of the “other side” as being “more real than real.”
• The Life Review: The profound, empathetic replay of one’s entire existence and its impact on others.
• Visions of the Blind: The medically inexplicable cases where people blind from birth describe vivid visual details for the first time during their NDE.
• Universal Consistency: Why these experiences remain identical across every culture, age group, and religion on Earth.
Dr. Long also addresses the skeptics, dismantling theories of oxygen deprivation and hallucinations with hard data. Whether you are seeking comfort, scientific proof, or a deeper understanding of the mystery of consciousness, this episode offers a transformative look at the threshold of death and the promise of what lies beyond.

I’ve had 2 near death experiences the first one I saw my great grandma the second one I saw two of my cats that past away and other things that gave me a great deal of peace.
❤
I had one many years ago. I remember being up on the ceiling watching the room.
When my mum died for two days the room smelled full of flowers lm still trying to understand that.
Jesus said i an my father are one
Just wanted to say, Jillian has a beautiful soul. She is a child of God, as all of us are
you gotta talk with Jeffrey Mishlove
If any of this is true , I am here clearly to be punished because my journey has been lonely and painful, I wonder sometimes why I am here because I feel that I don’t belong..
Why is this automatically an acknowledgement of God? Of course everyone is afraid of dying, that's why in life when in danger we try hard not to be killed by danger. If we survive the danger we recall that danger as being very scary. Recalling unconscious experiences is logical. We have other senses than sight, and just as with dreams we can reconstruct visual experiences. But look at all the current discussion of us living in a 'Simulation'. It means nothing. Whether it is God or a Simulation is irrelevant. It is effectively the same thing.
Thank you Dr. Long for your NDE research!
Thank you Jillian for your show!
As soon as they mentioned god I turned it off.
Jillian you asked if there's any way we can make those changes in our earthly lives "without having to die." Yep – when we accept the FREE gift of Jesus, who already died for you and for all people who would accept Him, He sends HIS own Spirit (Holy Spirit) to actually spiritually live inside you! He is powerful because He is part of God, and He slowly but surely changes you. It's incredible. It happened to me 7 years ago. He loves you RIGHT NOW
If we never die, why do we not remember all of our past lives? During life or during an NDE? We are only here and now.
And here I am listening to this podcast again a month later. You are doing good work, Jillian! Especially if I'm coming BACK to a pod I've already listened to! Quality over quantity. Love your interviews.
I have had 2 out of body experiences,where I have levitated and looked down at .yself on the operating table.I have never encountered any deceased relative or heard any voices,..but and immense cloud of peace,overwhelming love and warmth encased me.whe.n I became concious,I was very emotional,and became a totally different man to what I had previously been,kinder,generous ,understanding,and a person I like.
Those who know about the Vedas (the oldest and most encyclopedic of all religious compilations) have known this fact for thousands of years.
It's simple….
1. We are not these bodies. We are souls trapped inside of these physical bodies.
2. Every living entity is like that, a soul in the heart of its physical body.
3. The soul is indestructible. It never dies.
4. The soul is part and parcel of God.
5. Death means the soul leaves the body and birth means the soul (which is very small in size) enters the new body when the sperm from the male species enters the egg from the female species.
So….there HAS to be life after death. We simply change bodies after death and a new life begins in another body elsewhere. The entire arrangement for a new life is controlled by God's agents.
The Hare Krishnas are well aware of all this. Read the book called "BHAGAVAD GITA AS IT IS" by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada for more details .
TOTAL BULLSHIT,
I pray so. I believe the Bible but also know thst I don’t know. Too many around me sre passing away and this kife seems so tiny. I can’t wait to hear this
My personal experience, upon waking from a major surgery: i was walking with Jesus and not want to come back to earth. But he very kindly told me that my purpose is not done yet
Our existence goes much deeper than this conversation obviously. We are always in the presence of ancestors. Call them Angels, guides etc. One just needs to develop Awareness.
My dad is actually one of my 4 Angels. And boy do i need them. Ive had a few near death and near dangerous situations where i actually heard them give me direction to save my life.
Oxygen and electro energy in the mind of the brain, the high speed memory reflecting when you are have a conflict between your life and death you come back with a lot of imagination if you did not you go through with a 402nd reaction of your energy brain is itself projector the time you hallucinate and feel good or bad about passing their life
Is the way we lose us is made by high power that power lived in first century if the power made I looked through magnetic controller and we struggle to have a gas in the car and food on the table. It is too classic.
