SCIENCE AND DISCOVERY

Learn about what scientists and researchers now know about Afterlife Science and Survival of Consciousness as well as other evidence that will eventually bring us to a full understanding of our existence and the universe.

ELECTRONIC VOICE PHENOMENA

There is an impressive amount of evidence that suggests discarnate entities can "imprint" a voice on recording devices. In the recording process the spirit voice is not heard, but appears later when the tape is played back. Similar to mediumship, the mechanism that allows this communication to take place has yet to be discovered. Skeptics claim that electronic voice phenomena does not come from the deceased, but is merely a result of the brain's natural process of creating meaning out of random noise. Others contend that although voices are imprinted, they are the result of psychokinesis from the living. Whichever the case, in many "Class A" examples, the voices appear to be crystal clear and immediately discernable. In addition, some EVP's seem to be responsive to experimenter requests.

Many see EVP as being important in survival of consciousness research due to the fact that there is tangible evidence in the form of a recording. Since "psi" phenomena tend to be spontaneous in nature they present obstacles to scientists in a laboratory setting. It is hoped that EVP will prove to be one of the keys to understanding the nature of consciousness.

NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES

A near-death experience refers to the phenomena of those who are clinically dead and subsequently revived reporting personal experiences suggesting an afterlife. Although every experience is different, some common themes include detachment and looking down at one's body, presence of a bright light, moving through a tunnel, encounters with deceased people, feelings of warmth and peace, etc. Recent developments in cardiac resuscitation techniques have enabled reports of such experiences to increase. There are also near death experience reports from people who were not close to death.

Below are links to a leading researcher in the field, Dr. Bruce Greyson, as well as information on a research project currently being conducted.

MEDIUMSHIP

The study of mediums by scientists is certainly not a new undertaking. During the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century, there were quite a number of eminent scientists engaged in such exploration. Such well respected researchers, including William James, Sir William Crookes, Sir Oliver Lodge, Frederic Myers, Charles Richet and many others conducted exhaustive research utilizing sound and impeachable scientific experimental procedures. Despite the overwhelming evidence confirming that communication with discarnate entities was indeed possible, their findings were not embraced by mainstream science.

Understandably, research in this area in the subsequent decades was very scarce. One scientist who decided to pick up the torch in mediumship research, despite the obvious jeopardy to his status among his peers, was Dr. Gary E. Schwartz. After completing his graduate work and receiving his Ph.D. from Harvard, he became a professor at Yale where he conducted research and taught for many years. At the University of Arizona, where he is currently professor of psychology, medicine, neurology, psychiatry and surgery, he created The Human Energy Systems Laboratory (since evolved into the Laboratory for Advances in Consciousness and Health). The laboratory houses the Veritas Program, which conducts research studies of mediumship. In addition to authoring scores of articles for professional publications, Dr. Schwartz is the author of four books: The Living Energy Universe, The Afterlife Experiments, The Truth About Medium, and The G.O.D. Experiments.
