What awaits us after we take our last breath? It's a question that has fascinated humanity for centuries.
Some believe in an afterlife, while others think it's simply the end. Today, we embark on a journey to unravel the mystery of life after death. Different cultures and religions offer their own perspectives on the afterlife. Some believe in reincarnation, a cycle of birth and rebirth, while others envision a paradise of eternal happiness.
But is there any scientific evidence to support these ideas? : Scientists have been exploring the concept of life after death through various studies. Near-death experiences, where individuals report seeing a bright light or feeling a profound sense of peace, have captured the attention of researchers.
Could this be a glimpse into the afterlife? : Recent studies have also examined the brain's response to death. It revealed a surge of neural activity just moments before the heart stops beating, leading some to speculate that consciousness may continue beyond the physical realm. : Celebrities and public figures have shared their own thoughts on the afterlife. From Albert Einstein's belief in the existence of an immortal soul to Steve Jobs' contemplation of the "next big thing," even the most influential minds ponder what lies ahead. NARRATOR: Ultimately, the question of life after death remains a deeply personal one. It's a subject that elicits a myriad of emotions and beliefs.
Whether we find solace in the idea of reunion or peace in eternal rest, the mystery of what awaits us endures. : As we continue on our eternal journeys, may we remember to cherish and make the most of our time in this world, for it is the choices we make in life that shape our destiny, whether here or beyond. : Thank you for joining us on this exploration of life after death.

So I've got a nice couple of quotes here from the great psychologist Carl Gustav Jung, Craig.
One of them is, the best revenge is to be like or rather unlike him who performed the injury.
And another great quote of Carl Jung is, at his best man is the noblest of all
animatic separation from the law and justice is the worst.
Craig, Craig, Craig, what are you doing? Meditating. Meditating is not supposed to be
painful. It's not. Oh for ****'s sake. And welcome everybody once again to a safe place podcast and
this week we're going to talk about something that none of you idiots at home ever give a
---- about because you're too busy watching EastEnders ain't ya? Or Kim Kardashian or reading
the news on who the latest BBC presenter is who's gonna rough up a little kid and take all the
pictures, dirty little pictures for himself. Yes guys, guess what we're gonna talk about?
The near-death experience, Craig. What do you mean boo you bastard? The near-death experience. Well I
tell you what, let's talk about what mental health is right now and we've spoke about mental health
on this podcast thousands upon times and you know what I've realized in my life? You don't know what
you're ******* talking about. Shut up. When there's no meaning and there's no purpose and
life seems volatile and empty, my body reflects that emotional state. I literally start to suffer
with more tiredness, more fatigue, feeling down, feeling depressed. However, when I'm delivered the
light of hope that there is a meaning and purpose behind the fabric of the universe, that there's
something at the end of it all that's worth all of this pain and struggle that we go through in life.
My body's energized with a light and energy that fills me with energy.
So the purpose is the life, the purpose is the meaning, the meaning is the reason. I don't know
what you're talking about right now, you've gone too far but let me explain what I mean by this
near-death experience is thousands upon thousands of testimonies from people all around the world,
it doesn't matter whether you're Chinese, Russian, American, English, Australian or from the deep
jungle of the Amazon. When people have been classed as clinically dead, i.e. their heart has stopped,
around 20% proportionately, and this is scientific data recorded from all the people that have been
classed as clinically dead, have said they've had an experience, that science says they shouldn't,
that their brain has been shown to be technically dead, there's been no algorithms that the scans
have picked up that the brain should be functioning, yet they have an experience and when all of those
anecdotal testimonies come together, a scientist, a great scientist, Raymond Mood, a PhD genius from
the United States of America, who first coined the term near-death experience, put all those stories
together and articulated the fact that there's some state of consciousness that exists outside
of the individual once they have died. What do you think about that? So being the devil's advocate as
I will to play the role, it seems like that all throughout your life you want to survive. Yes.
You want to be comfortable and even when you are close to death and you have a 50-50 chance of
actually coming back, even your unconscious mind that shouldn't be performing any algorithms of
anything, any story should be projected into reality, you come back to life with a dream,
with a story don't you? Well these people describe that thing that you've just labelled as a dream
as ultra HD high definition reality, that the life they had before they died seems almost like a vague,
it wasn't real, that it was almost illusionary dreamlike, but the reality that they experienced
once they were classed as clinically dead was super real, high definition and the incredible
thing is, as we've talked about before in the past, that the incredible thing about the human beings
is its ability to transcend its suffering, it has to find a way to not suffer, i.e. that's why we
incorporate meaning, hope, purpose as all a contradictory antidote to this meaninglessness
and suffering of life, we need it, so in a traumatic event such as death one can articulate
or hypothesise rather that at the moment of death the most traumatic thing a person can go through
may be the beautiful imagination opens itself up, flourishes like a flower opening itself
up to the early morning sunshine after a night of pure darkness and aloneness and in that fabric
of imagination it creates a place of infinite peace, infinite love, infinite bliss, now there's
obviously what you're saying is there's an element of memory to come back and repeat the story but
under the what you would say the neurology there's nothing going on is there, so it seems like it
even transcends what we know about our own biology and chemistry doesn't it, well when you come back
and I know about this through my hundred hours of research that I've done on this subject and also
you rabbiting on about it over and over again that you have this experience when at times of abuse
and you can have this sort of higher rising of this body that is an option to die or an option
to go back and sometimes there's a person there or a light or a sound or a speaker that tells
you to go home to go back almost like it's another reality altogether it's a parallel universe
what are you talking about, well a parallel universe right, are you saying that there's a universe or
there's a state of consciousness that exists outside of the human mind that when we die we
can all become a part of again, well when you go down the near-death experience and you try and
explain it and this is what we're trying to do we're trying to make sense of reality isn't it
funny that every story of the human mankind in general is trying to say what the **** is this
reality and even, or rather we've experienced the ultimate reality through the near-death experience
remember what's fascinating about this near-death experience is that between the thousands of
testimonies that have been recorded there's a commonality that seems to be a thread that
links up all those stories together the commonality is at the point of death the person
leaves their body and they begin to observe their body like a spectator and then what happens is
they then experience a sense of love and bliss and then what they describe as something that
looks like a tunnel a pinpoint of light that they seem completely drawn to and as they go towards
this light they seem to feel a sense of oneness with the whole of the universe and incredibly in
that state they describe every question that they've ever needed to ask of the unknown is
instantly revealed to them that there's a state of consciousness that we have within ourselves
that our normally egoic minds are completely separated from Sudhigraha but when that physical
aspect of the body dies this infinite all-knowing eternal existence that has never been born and
never died that knows everything upon everything almost like the stories of god what is a omnipotent
omnipresent all-knowing they become part of that that source again now incredibly also speaking
these people when they've left these bodies they get a lot of them get visible what they describe
by as a being of light and this being of light opens up a panorama of their life experience
what's incredible about it is as they experience their life experience they're experiencing it from
everybody else's relationship with them when they was alive so all the conversations they've had
with family members where they might have said something that hurt them or physically hurt them
they experienced the pain of how that other person felt in their interaction with them
now let's try and break this down because that's a lot of information for somebody who has not heard
of near-death experience or have seen it as some sort of pseudoscience well why the **** aren't you
interested in because you know what you're literally your body's dying right now motherfuckers
it's dying now and you've got to wake the **** up because something ******* crazy is going on
that we call boring reality and we're trying to break this down for you guys because what you
normally do is project into all these different things and you're trying to understand reality
now we've tried to say through psychology that you can observe your own thoughts you're saying
that there's a place where you're no longer thinking and you become an observer it's almost
like a third story of the usual well even more incredibly it's not only you become an observer
of the person that you consider yourself to be as you witness yourself dead but the experience
the subjective the subjective experience is beyond words that what's also a thread that
comes through all of these anecdotal testimonies is the people that said that everything that I
experienced was love the purpose beyond the universe was to experience love and to find
more and more better ways of improving yourself to improve the existence of love within this reality
and isn't that funny now I'm a I'm a big critic of love aren't I isn't it funny that the unconscious
mind or the even more unconscious mind the dead soul that you become for a split second or a
matter of minutes still projects a story of love and bliss so when you go back you are grateful
for life what is one of the things that we have learned through psychology that gratitude
for existence itself not the good and the bad and the ---- that happens but just for existence
itself is worth it and unfortunately most people have to die to tap into that consciousness that
exists within them of how to feel gratitude now you've told me the stories of the near-death
experience when they come back and they almost no longer fear death because they see there's another
parallel universe alternate reality where death isn't the death that we think of no it isn't and
what's incredible is is that when this person dies no matter what state there was in at the
time it's almost like they described that when they go in towards that light that sense of
oneness and pure love and bliss all of the baggage and the worries and the fears and the desires the
unmet needs and the unmet desires become completely irrelevant and when they come back
incredibly and this is another scientific fact that's been recorded and you can look this up in
many testimonies is that they come back and their ability to heal is super fast what happens is
somebody for instance there's a neurosurgeon in the united states who was an atheist a complete
atheist he went and had a near-death experience he come back and he was suffering with a really
rare type of meningococcal septicaemia meningitis which completely inflamed and ate away the cortex
of his brain and apparently 90% of all people that are hospitalized with this rare type of
meningococcal septicaemia a rare form of bacterial meningitis die but the 10% that do come back
were that ill that they're literally drinking their dinners for the rest of their life
yet he comes back from the near-death experience and is completely healed within weeks that they
found that these people that seem to have these near-death experiences is that their ability to
heal is much further increased than somebody who hasn't had the near-death experience now trying to
it is just labeled pseudoscience it is just labeled poppycock unless you're into it unless
you've experienced it you're not going to believe it you're not going to accept it as a story or
narrative you're not going to even be interested in it however what you realize is for so many people
to have this experience there's got to be some truth behind it you can't just be a made-up story
you know i've said to you before about it's imagine like a great way of describing that is
imagine that you've never had a dream but everybody around you says i'll dream when i go to sleep
there'll be a little part of you that'll be like i don't know if i fully believe it because i've
never experienced it yet it doesn't take away the fact that those people are dreaming yeah and now
if you're watching that and you're thinking well that's completely wrong because oh you've
experienced everything everybody else experiences think of all the times when you have reacted
badly and not realized that's happened from a thought something as simple and basic as that
that a trigger has occurred in your life you're having a breakdown yet you're blaming something
else for it what's also incredible is that these people also there's been blind people that have
blind since birth and they all talk about the light the beings of light the tunnel the observing
their body and this person's never been able to see yet they're saying that they've shared
a visual aspect of a subjective experience that they've had through their body being
classed as clinically dead so it shows that there must be a state of existence or consciousness
that exists outside of right now your mental ability to even tap into it yeah outside of
senses outside of matter outside of what we understand physics to be but you just want to
go back to ******* coronation street don't you know what it drives me ******* nuts this world does
that there's so much mystery to existence but you want to watch gail is it gail platt gail platt
find out her next husband's a ******* serial killer that's what you really get off on any
well the truth is you don't want help we're trying to help you how does this help how we're not
helping them we're getting them angry i i care about gail platt she's been in this soap for
30 years and i've got an attachment to gail and i hope she finds out her next husband's another
killer that's what we're competing in it we compete with people that have got brain cells
brain cells that are just ******* it makes me sad now how would this near-death experience
actually help anybody well what you realize is you don't have to give a **** about coronation
street and at the worst case scenario you don't have to give about give a **** about too much of
your own life and existence it's not that important no do you know what it is i think this is what's
fundamental these people have experienced a state of love that is so powerful that when they come
back they realize how empty their lives are without it and that gives a meaning and purpose
to bring as much love back into this dimension of consciousness as possible
the only real meaning and purpose in this life for me right now is to find better ways of loving
people better and that's giving them more acceptance so what i said about gail platt's fans and wankers
at home that i'm getting pissed off with i'm sorry i made a mistake i'm not bringing enough
love into the world i'm saying there's nothing wrong with gail i made a big mistake gail's lovely
she's a character that symbolizes a lot of people's issues in the world how many women out
there found out their husbands are killers not a lot uh globally but in terms of it happening
it's happened it happens a lot and it's them people that i just want to send a message out
to right now that i love you i love you a lot and uh so what now you've come up to a good chapter
of the podcast my microphone's been working that good tonight i don't know what it is
i'm coming out and it picked me up a lot of the time you sound crystal clear buddy i don't know
when we edit this back you know i don't know why i care because even if it didn't pick me up
the fact that i'm sitting here right now with a little bubbly consciousness that's been labeled
and he's wearing a lovely designer shirt to try and make himself look clever it just makes me
fall in love with life even more and this is the next chapter of the podcast do we project
meaning and purpose to feel better is andrew sitting there trying to love the world because
he's tried every other option and route well i'd say this is that meaning and purpose i didn't
realize how important it was until i never had it right i didn't even know when i had meaning and
purpose that the very thing that was driving me was the fact that i had meaning and purpose right
until i lost the meaning and purpose and it was like oh my god i've lost meaning and purpose
now the most important thing is is that one thing i can guarantee to you when you're on your death
bed you're going to be looking back at your life and you're going to think why didn't i say i told
why didn't i say to dad i loved you more i wanted you my life more i didn't want you to make me feel
rejected or unloved it really broke my heart how much how much when you're on your deathbed do you
look back and you just think i didn't i wasted my time trying to save up money for the best cars
i wasted my time trying to save up to to purchase this around that holiday what i really needed to
do was give everybody my heart oh my god that's what i wanted to give you starting to sound
religious now right and guess what that's what the meaning of this life is i really believe it
through thousands of years of evolution of surviving of crawling through the muck to put
a shelter over your head and kill an animal just so you can survive through the night
take away all of that survival the most beautiful and important thing about your life and this
consciousness and this heart that you have is to feel loved accepted wanted and to give others
love acceptance and for them to feel wanted that is now the meaning and the purpose of my *******
life oh this is andrew he loves everybody oh but i hate you andrew doesn't matter because i'm just
gonna love you apart from gail apart from gail platt so that's now the meaning of my life just
because the meaning of my life now is superior to yours doesn't mean you have to get uncomfortable
with that envious and then that's projected out as some sort of derogatory hatred towards you
no you don't you just said that now to make yourself look like you're all right you're a
lying bastard you are a lying bastard i love people more than you love people mate just how
the ego can twist love into being a horrible thing it is a horrible thing because you're only doing
it to make yourself feel good i'm not doing it to make myself feel good you just said that's what
the whole meaning of life is no you're not listen to me it makes you feel good but i'm not doing it
to make me feel good because when i have felt loved that's when i feel at my best which means
it was an unconscious choice to do it to feel good it was the very existence of what permeates
every cell in my body and electrifies it into existence that's what feeds my soul it's love
************ love take your ******* glasses off and look at me squaring the ******* eye right now
so i can love ya i'm scared to take the glasses off ladies and gentlemen so the meaning of near
death experiences is to somehow have an experience of reality that makes you learn about love i think
what about if love didn't exist what about if that is the story that you believe in well then
let's talk of next time on the next podcast uh because fundamentally one thing that's important
regardless of your opinion in the matter is that everybody that's had this near-death experience
says the only thing that's fundamental to this reality and existence and eternity as a whole
and infinity is love however you pose a question more at the end of the podcast it says what if
it isn't love i would say that's the stupidest question one could ever ask however it doesn't
mean that it's wrong so on the next podcast we'll go into craig's dark sleepy vile world of what if
eddie thank you everybody for tuning in
