Are you among the 82 percent of Americans who believe in the afterlife?
Dr. Jeffrey Long, along with his wife Jody, have gathered more than 1600 Near Death Experiences for his Near Death Experience Research Foundation. Dr. Long is a radiation oncologist and has recently published a book Evidence of the Afterlife written with best-selling author, Paul Perry. (see my post about Paul Perry and his upcoming book with Dr. Raymond Moody).
At the moment as I write this, Dr. Long is a guest on the Coast to Coast AM Radio show with George Noory. He just mentioned that he had interviewed a couple recently who had a joint near-death experience during an automobile accident—both hovering above the car crash and holding hands. I’ve never thought about that type of situation before, but I assume it could happen fairly often.
In the video interview below he mentions a woman blind since birth who had a near-death experience during surgery and was hovering in the operating room.... This has been known to happen often.
One of my favorite NDEs is one we wrote about in Whispers From the Soul:
“A most remarkable case involves a surgical patient who went into cardiac arrest during her surgery, as reported by Internist Larry Dossey in his book, Recovering The Soul: A Scientific and Spiritual Search. During gall bladder surgery, the patient's heart stopped beating and heroic measures were employed to stabilize her. Dr. Dossey explains that Sarah had a clear and detailed memory of the frantic conversation of the surgeons and nurses during her cardiac arrest; knew the OR layout; recounted the scribbles on the surgery schedule board in the hall outside the operating room; identified the color of the sheets covering the operating table and the hairstyle of the head scrub nurse; the names of the surgeons in the doctors' lounge down the corridor who were waiting for her case to be concluded and she even knew the trivial fact that her anesthesiologist that day was wearing unmatched socks. She knew all this even though she had been fully anesthetized and unconscious during the surgery and the cardiac arrest.
But Dr. Dossey tells us that what made Sarah's vision even more momentous was the fact that, since birth, she had been blind.
Anesthetized, unconscious and blind–still, she saw!”
Dr. Long just stated that he absolutely believes in an afterlife. He’s not alone in that. Many of us do. And I get excited every time I hear or read of another professional, who due to research, studies, or experiences, lend more credibility to the fact that life does not end with the shedding of the physical body.
A number of years ago a Gallop Poll revealed some eight million Americans, including many children, have reported near-death experiences. So the numbers have to be extraordinary worldwide.
