Why DEAD People Can See Into Other Realms | Jeffrey Long

there's people that talk about the similarities of a DMT experience to this near-death experience um there was one guy in a video that I watched yesterday who was basically playing it out he said he had a near-death experience when he was a kid and he got in a car accident and then he smoked DMT like 10 years later or something on a mountain and he said he met the same exact entity and said you're not supposed to he told him he's like you're not supposed to be here mhm and uh have you ever exper or talked to people that have done both smoked DMT and had an nde we in in the survey of over 4,000 people we have scores that had a near-death experience and also described using psychotropic drugs I mean you name it I've heard it DMT siloc cybin LSD Etc so yeah we have a a fairly good siiz series of those I think when you look at comping DMT DMT or other psychotropic drugs to near near-death experiences you have to be aware that there's a bit of a bias in the sense that YouTube videos will become popular and you'll access them because they get a lot of clicks and they're interesting and so that's interesting they had a near death experience and it was similar to DMT however right in the you know hundreds probably over a hundred for sure of people that have had near-death experiences and shared with our research website and then discussed and compared the use of psychotropic brain acting drugs to their near-death experience the substantial majority say that they were grossly dissimilar they may be slightly similar in the sense that it was unworldly they may have strong emotions associated with it they may feel Consciousness as a part but the great majority and again it's all all these are posted indes anyone on the world can look them up and see this they're dominant very very different above and beyond that I co-authored a scholarly paper Dr paria and as part of that we looked at near-death experiences and what occurred in near-death experiences and that was virtually all derived from my nf.org website the what occurs during experiences and as part of that scholarly article published in the annals of the New York Academy of Sciences we had a group of the co-investigators look at all the scholarly literature on the effects of psychotropic drugs so this was actually a scholarly review of published effects of both near-death experiences and psychotropic drugs and once again the conclusion of this published peer-reviewed paper was that they're substantially different and if anyone has any doubt about that you where where where can we find that paper it's at the annals of the New York Academy of Sciences about two about two or three years ago okay but what anyone can do is go to the website Arrowwood dorg e wiid which is by far the largest collection of firstperson experiences with psychotropic drugs by the scores I mean there's some I hadn't even heard of but if you go there and look up DMT or siloc cybin or some of the more popularly named substances that purportedly mimic near-death experiences all you have to do is go there and then look up hundreds of first-person experiences do exactly what I've done go there read 20 or 30 firstperson accounts of siloy and or DMT and I think anybody can easily see quickly that the experiences are very different these psychotropic drugs are far more likely to be hallucinatory events in these psychotropic drug experiences skip around like dreams no surprise DMT is in the top left Steve yeah and they also in addition to that you may find that you know DMT or silos cybin um are more likely to be frightening and they're more likely to be recognized as hallucinatory as opposed to near-death experiences where virtually all that have a near-death experience understand that it's real so in spite of what you may see on YouTube or other media sites the uh this is the the reality based on peer-reviewed public liter literature and actual first-person experiences posted on the website and then coupled with people that actually had nerde experiences and hallucinatory experiences but they're really uh they're really different what is the idea that in death the or before death the pineal gland secretes DMT that uh basically allows that person to have a psychedelic experience that essentially allows them to die is that the theory of what the the purpose of the pineal gland is um I would you know while that's a theory I would have to say lots of people have had Cardiac Arrest their heart stopped and then they resuscitated and they come back to life I mean you know thank goodness we have thousands tens of thousands of people even here in America right that have survived that horrific close brush with death I would say almost uniformally they don't come back and describe a hallucinatory experience associated with their heart stopping so I think you know while while we still need to study the effects of the pineal or other brain chemistry mediators uh there doesn't seem to be any resuscitation of these people that come back and describe something that would be hallucinatory experience due to pineal or anything else but these people who their heart stops they do have ndes oh absolutely right when the heart stops a cardiac arrest that's one of the more common listed precipitating events of a near-death experience near-death experience in my research you have to be near death in other words so physically compromised that you're unconscious or clinically dead like happens when your heart stops so to understand how amazing it is that they have a near-death experience at that time you have to understand the if you will the physi ology of of your heart stopping well obviously immediately when you your heart stops immediately blood stops flowing to the brain 10 to 20 seconds after blood stops flowing to the brain the EEG electroencephalogram which is a measure of brain cortical electrical activity goes absolutely flat really after 20 seconds 10 to 20 seconds that's very well documented in the literature so after 10 to 20 seconds after your heart stops there's no measure brain cortical activity which is where your higher cognitive Consciousness is so it should be physically impossible to have a conscious experience at that time and yet by the hundreds people report near-death experiences after their heart stops far beyond that 10 to 20 second interval prior to PE anybody beginning CPR or efforts at resuscitation so again it's just uh yet another one of the stronger lines of evidence that after your heart stops and you have a near death experience absolutely medically inexplicable for that to be due to physical brain function how do we know that the brain stops 20 seconds after the heart stops like how many people have we measured with an EEG on their head when their heart stops um the there's quite a bit of literature in the medical uh various medical journals I've actually cited that U these are big enough series that that's generally accepted as being factual um you know they that just seems like a crazy thing to study right well that's you know how would you be able to time that to have an EEG on somebody to be measuring their brain knowing their heart's going to stop well it could be people you know they're in the hospital they're they're having some neurologic situation they have an EEG on um actually interestingly there was a very recent study by Dr parne called the aware 2 study where they actually uh went out of their way to measure the EEG and people that in Fairly good siiz series that had a cardiac arrest so that's by far largest contemporary series of actual EEG measurements and that was done prospectively so that was published relatively recently and out of they actually had targets placed and they were hoping that people among these Cardiac Arrest patients would have a near-death experience and be able to spot a target with their Consciousness apart from the body unfortunately in this large study uh basically only several people had a near-death experience and they weren't actually in that group having their EEG being measured but among those that had Cardiac Arrest that did have an EEG being measured unfortunately none of them had a near-death experience so it wasn't really conclusionary but you did know that you know again like like we knew from prior research once you have a cardiac arrest you're measured brain cortical electrical activity is either flat or so disorganized that it should be uh absolutely impossible to have any Lucid organized experience what is this
