On today’s program, Dr. Lightman tells us more about the origin of the universe, and why certain planets, such as Earth, have the perfect conditions to support life as we know it. “There are two possible explanations for that. One is that the universe was created by some intelligence, some Intelligent Being that wanted the universe to have life in it, and therefore chose these parameters such as t

Through his research, Mr. Ferran has discovered that plants learn, remember, feel, give, receive and share. He has also observed that they are highly sensitive to their environment, and that they perceive the world much differently than we do. Mr. Ferran believes that plants respond to us in different ways. If we treat them with kindness and respect, they respect, they respond accordingly. He beli

His original experiments were conducted with indoor plants, with whom he could communicate almost immediately. Later, he began to experiment with trees in the forest. “And the trees and wild plants who are much more autonomous, they tolerate us. We need to realize that, in fact, they would just need to decide, and we would no longer be here.” Mr. Ferran explains that although plants and trees are

On today’s program we’ll speak with accomplished actor, director, and author - Mr. Alexandre Ferran, of Paris, France. Through his thorough research, he has also become a renowned expert in understanding the ability of plants to communicate through music and words. “At the beginning of the 20th century there was an Indian called Mr. Bose who created a device called the crescograph, which made it p

On today’s program, we’ll learn more about Ms. Tricia Barker’s lessons from Heaven. Ms. Barker believes that overcoming fear is one of life’s greatest challenges. In the classroom, she teaches students one technique for doing so. “And it’s generally fear that prevents us from being in that flow of God. And I just began to show them, ‘You have other options.’ So, I could teach them how to be diffe

Through her near-death experience, Ms. Barker came to understand more clearly how to live a happier, more fulfilling life. She generously shares these concepts with her students, including an insightful technique for overcoming depression. “When you focus on the self, you’re not happy. When you’re focused on giving love to the world, you are happy. When you’re in the flow of God, when you’re givin

On today's program, Ms. Barker continues to share some of the many insights from her near-death experience. She begins by explaining how time is very different in Heaven. "It was only two-and-a-half minutes that I was dead. That realm is eternal, and that realm is without time." While in Heaven, God taught Ms. Barker many lessons about her life. One important lesson was to be kinder toward others.

On today’s program we’ll hear from Ms. Tricia Barker, an English professor at Tarrant County College in Fort Worth, Texas, USA. A near-death experiencer, Ms. Barker is the author of “Angels in the OR.” During her college years, Ms. Barker had a serious car accident and nearly lost her life. While out of her body, Ms. Barker realized that she could observe normal events, an experience that scientis

After her near-death experience, Ms. Sharp could see or feel the presence of angels. "Yes, everybody has what we call guardian angels. And I see them in places where comfort is needed: hospitals, libraries. So sometimes the angels come to us because we need comfort, sometimes we need guidance, sometimes we need to be tripped and fall so that we learn how to get up on our own. They have assignments

On today's show, Ms. Sharp explains some of the profound effects these near-death experiences had on her life. "When I came back, nothing made sense. And so, it's been very easy. So, another after effect of my near-death experience is that I understood death so well and I had no fear of it. So, I could be around people dying or their families or loved ones and be very calming and very sincere." Ac

Ms. Sharp is the author of “After the Light: The Spiritual Path to Purpose,” and the Founder of Seattle International Association for Near-Death Studies.

I then found myself in another place entirely. And then something showed up. That “something

Where does that come from? Is the thought coming from the individual? So, an analogy I like to use is the Sun and clouds. So, the Sun being consciousness and clouds being our mental state or our brain, things that are blocking the rays of consciousness to come in. And when we do things like meditate or a near-death experience is maybe the best example where all the clouds go away. There are ways o

Does consciousness exist beyond the body and brain? Mr. Gober has found considerable scientific and anecdotal evidence suggesting that consciousness exists beyond the brain. Perhaps the most compelling support comes from near-death experiences. “In the life review, the example of Dannion Brinkley, after he relived his life four times, he saw the pain that the inflicted and he saw the joy that he

On today’s program, we’ll hear from Mr. Mark Gober, author of “An End to Upside Down Thinking” and host of the new podcast, “Where is My Mind?” In addition, Mr. Gober is on the Board of Directors at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), a research center dedicated to exploring and expanding human capacity. “What is the relationship between the brain and consciousness?

Today we’ll hear some accounts of near-death experiences from renowned heart surgeon, Dr. Lloyd Rudy, interviewed by Dr. Michael Milligan, president of the American Academy for Oral Systemic Heath. And all of a sudden! Nobody spoke. Because everybody in that room felt a ‘presence.’ And he stopped bleeding just like that. What is your take on that, Dr. Rudy? Oh, there’s something out there that peo

Twelve-year-old Aviral Pokhrel of Nepal has an unusual ability. He can see colors and objects through his senses of touch and smell. I try to feel using my hands, and if I’m unable to identify things clearly with my hands, then I try to smell them. And based on their smell, I can tell what they are. Sometimes it just comes to me, then based on that I say what it is and it matches, too. And when we

For centuries, reincarnation remained a mystery, leading to questions about human existence and the nature of previous lives. Nowadays, however, many individuals are coming forward to share detailed memories of their past lifetimes. Dr. Jim Tucker, a renowned past-life expert from the US, has recorded 2,500 cases of children remembering their previous incarnations. Oscar winner, AFI Life Achieveme

People who undergo near-death experiences realize that there’s a greater form of love than the worldly variety. You realize the importance of love, perhaps to a much greater degree than before. Quite often you don’t know how to set about it. Now the kind of love God’s looking for, that really teaches us is not the kind of self-development love, but it’s developing other people, helping other peopl
