Rob McConnell Interviews - Chris Carter - Science and he Near Death Experience

Predating all organized religion, the belief in an afterlife is fundamental to the human experience and dates back at least to the Neanderthals. By the mid-19th century, however, spurred by the progress of science, many people began to question the existence of an afterlife, and the doctrine of materialism--which believes that consciousness is a creation of the brain--began to spread. Now, using scientific evidence, Chris Carter challenges materialist arguments against consciousness surviving death and shows how near-death experiences (NDEs) may truly provide a glimpse of an awaiting afterlife. o Explains why near-death experiences (NDEs) offer evidence of an afterlife and discredits the psychological and physiological explanations for them o Challenges materialist arguments against consciousness surviving death o Examines ancient and modern accounts of NDEs from around the world, including China, India, and many from tribal societies such as the Native American and the Maori . Using evidence from scientific studies, quantum mechanics, and consciousness research, Carter reveals how consciousness does not depend on the brain and may, in fact, survive the death of our bodies. Examining ancient and modern accounts of NDEs from around the world, including China, India, and tribal societies such as the Native American and the Maori, he explains how NDEs provide evidence of consciousness surviving the death of our bodies. He looks at the many psychological and physiological explanations for NDEs raised by skeptics--such as stress, birth memories, or oxygen starvation--and clearly shows why each of them fails to truly explain the NDE. Exploring the similarities between NDEs and visions experienced during actual death and the intersection of physics and consciousness, Carter uncovers the truth about mind, matter, and life after death. - www.scienceandtheneardeathexperience.com******************************************************************To listen to all our XZBN shows, with our compliments go to: https://www.spreaker.com/user/xzoneradiotv*** AND NOW ***The ‘X’ Zone TV Channel on SimulTV - www.simultv.comThe ‘X’ Chronicles Newspaper - www.xchroniclesnewspaper.com ******************************************************************

Rob McConnell Interviews - Dr Andrew Silverman - The Shroud of Turin

Dr Andrew Silverman is a medical doctor who has been interested since childhood in the nature of what we are as human beings and what our potential is.He first became aware of the Turin Shroud on seeing a life-size photographic print of it at Nigel Kerner's house around 30 years ago. Dr Silverman has always been fascinated to know how the image could have formed and when he spoke to Nigel Kerner about it many years ago he explained his theory to him that light is frozen thought and matter is frozen light. Kerner also postulated that human transfiguration into light was a consequence of living a life as suggested and shown by the man whose image is on the shroud. Dr.Silverman gave a presentation in May this year at a scientific workshop in Frascati Italy discussing his and Nigel Kerner's ideas about the Shroud of Turin and how the image might have been formed. Dr. Silverman's full Paper will be published soon in the Proceedings of the Workshop: but here is the link to the abstract: http://www.acheiropoietos.info/abstracts/talks-for-tex-phi.html#philosophy - www.nigelkerner.com******************************************************************To listen to all our XZBN shows, with our compliments go to: https://www.spreaker.com/user/xzoneradiotv*** AND NOW ***The ‘X’ Zone TV Channel on SimulTV - www.simultv.comThe ‘X’ Chronicles Newspaper - www.xchroniclesnewspaper.com ******************************************************************

Rob McConnell Interviews - Carol Taylor - Niagara Area Paranormal Society

At the age of 2 Carol had my first encounter with the spirit of an elderly woman. After living in several homes that had activity it soon became apparent that she had a gift for communicating with those who were deceased. Carol began her journey into finding answers and started to investigate on hger own when she was in my early teens. After several years of investigating and researching all she could on the subject, Carol then founded an online community where she was responsible for teaching others how to research and investigate activity in their own homes and businesses. After being involved in this online community for quite some time Carol made the decision to expand upon her knowledge and become more seriously involved in collecting data and research in this field. That is when she founded the paranormal research group called Niagara Area Paranormal Society. Their team currently consists of 12 members. They research paranormal activity throughout the Niagara Region. Their team is well established in the area and we have had several media appearances. Besides my research in this field, I just completed my second successful season of teaching courses locally. Participants of the course have the opportunity to learn the basics about investigating and then have the opportunity to investigate local haunted locations with seasoned investigators at their side to help guide them. - www.paranormalinvestigations.net******************************************************************To listen to all our XZBN shows, with our compliments go to: https://www.spreaker.com/user/xzoneradiotv*** AND NOW ***The ‘X’ Zone TV Channel on SimulTV - www.simultv.comThe ‘X’ Chronicles Newspaper - www.xchroniclesnewspaper.com ******************************************************************
