About 10% of people who have experienced clinical death tell extraordinary stories. Scientists explain this by the fact that after death, a certain part of the brain responsible for imagination works for about 30 seconds, during which time generating entire worlds in our head. Patients claim that this is nothing more than proof of life after death.

In any case, it’s interesting to just compare the visions different people than we are in AdMe.ru and decided to get busy. Draw your own conclusions.

  • There was a drunken fight. And suddenly I felt very strong pain. And then I fell in sewer hatch. I began to climb out, clinging to the slimy walls - smelly beyond belief! With difficulty I crawled out, and there were cars standing there: ambulances, police. People have gathered. I examine myself - normal, clean. I crawled through such mud, but for some reason I was clean. I came up to see: what was there, what happened?
    I ask people, they pay zero attention to me, you bastards! I see a guy lying on a stretcher, covered in blood. They dragged him into the ambulance, and the car was already starting to drive away, when suddenly I felt: something connects me with this body.
    He shouted: “Hey! Where are you going without me? Where are you taking my brother?!”
    And then I remembered: I don’t have any brother. At first I was confused, but then I realized: it’s me!

  • The doctors warned that I could only count on a 5% success rate for the operation. They dared to do it. At some point during the operation my heart stopped. I remember seeing mine recently deceased grandmother, who stroked my temples. Everything was black and white. I didn’t move, so she started getting nervous, shaking me, then started screaming: she screamed and screamed my name until I finally found the strength to open my mouth to answer her. I took a breath of air and the suffocation went away. Grandma smiled. And I suddenly felt the cold operating table.

  • There were many other people walking towards the top of the mountain, beckoning everyone with a bright light. They looked completely ordinary. But I understood that they were all dead, just like me. I was torn with rage: how many people are saved in an ambulance, why did they do this to me?!
    Suddenly my deceased cousin jumped out of the crowd and said to me: "Dean, go back."
    I hadn't been called Dean since I was a child, and she was one of the few people who even knew that variation of the name. Then I turned around to see what she meant by “back” and I was literally thrown into a hospital bed with doctors running around me in a panic.

    I remember only 2 doors, similar to those that were in the Middle Ages. One is wooden, the other is iron. I just looked at them silently for a long time.

    I saw that I was lying on the operating table and looking at myself from the side. There’s a bustle all around: doctors and nurses make my heart tick. I see them, I hear them, but they don’t see me. And then one nurse takes the ampoule and, breaking the tip, injures her finger - blood accumulates under her glove. Then complete darkness sets in. I see the following picture: my kitchen, my mother and father are sitting at the table, my mother is crying, my father is knocking back glass after glass of cognac - they don’t see me. Darkness again.
    I open my eyes, everything around is in monitors, tubes, I don’t feel my body, I can’t move. And then I see a nurse, the same one who injured her finger with the ampoule. I look at my hand and see a bandaged finger. She tells me that I was hit by a car, that I am in the hospital, my parents will come soon. I ask: has your finger already passed? You injured him when the ampoule was opened. She opened her mouth and was momentarily speechless. It turned out that 5 days had already passed.

  • My car was totaled, and a minute later a huge truck crashed into it. I realized that I would die today.
    Then something very strange happened, for which I still have no logical explanation. I lay covered in blood, crushed by pieces of iron inside my car, waiting to die. And then a strange feeling of calm suddenly enveloped me. And not just a feeling - it seemed to me that arms were stretched out to me through the car window to hug me, pick me up or pull me out of there. I could not see the face of this man, woman or some creature. It just became very light and warm.
An encounter with death

We talked with a doctor, a psychiatrist, who, in a state of clinical death, saw the Creator, and he is sure that he was given the opportunity to see the afterlife. Dr. George Ritchie is a psychiatrist in Charlottesville, Virginia. What he says is impressive. This happened in 1943 and he wrote everything down in detail.

However d's story Ritchie contains virtually everything significant elements clinical death experiences recorded by different scientists, and namely d's experience Ritchie was inspired to start research. Dr. Ritchie is attested in the archives of the military hospital. His experience had a deeply religious overtone, which affected his life and the lives of the people to whom he lectured.

1943, early December - in a military hospital at Camp Barkley, Texas, George Ritchie was recovering from a serious pulmonary illness. He was eager to get out of the hospital as soon as possible so that he could attend medical school in Richmond as a military medical trainee. In the early morning of December 20, his temperature suddenly rose, he began to become delirious and lost consciousness.

“Opening my eyes, I saw that I was lying in small room where I had never been before. A dim light was on. I lay there for a while, trying to figure out where I was. Suddenly I just jumped. Train! I missed the train to Richmond!

I jumped out of bed and looked around, looking for clothes. The headboard was empty. I stopped and looked around. There was someone lying on the bed I had just gotten up from. In the dim light I moved closer. It was a dead man. Slack jaw, terrible gray skin. And then I saw the ring, the ring of the Phi Gama Delta Society, which I had been wearing for two years.”

Frightened, but not fully aware that the lying body was his body, Ritchie ran out into the corridor, hoping to call the orderly, but found that his voice was not heard. “The orderly did not pay any attention to my words, and a second later walked right where I was, as if I was not there.” Ritchie came through closed door- “like a ghost” - and found himself “flying” towards Richmond, driven by the desire to be at the medical faculty.

“Suddenly it became clear to me: in some incomprehensible way my body had lost its density. I also began to understand that the body on the bed belonged to me, incredibly separate from me, that I needed to return and unite with it as quickly as possible. Finding the base and the hospital turned out to be not difficult. I think I came back almost the moment I thought about it.”

Rushing from room to room, peering at the sleeping soldiers, Ritchie feverishly searched for his body along the familiar ring.

“Eventually I reached a small room, lit by one dim light bulb. The person lying on his back was completely covered with a sheet, but his hands remained outside. There was a ring on the left one. I tried to pull back the sheet, but I couldn't grab it. Suddenly the thought came to me: “This is death.”

At that moment, Ritchie finally realized that he was dead. This struck him - his dreams of entering the medical faculty collapsed. Suddenly something caught Ritchie's attention.

“The room began to fill with light. I say “light,” but there are no words in our language to describe this amazing radiance. I have to try to find words, but since it was an incomprehensible phenomenon, like everything that happens, I have been under its constant influence ever since.


The light that appeared in the room was Christ: I realized this because the thought arose in me: “You are before the Son of God.” I called it light because the room was filled, permeated, illuminated with the most complete compassion I had ever felt. There was such peace and joy that I wanted to stay forever and watch without stopping.”

Ritchie's entire childhood passed before him, and the light asked: “What have you done during your stay on Earth?” Ritchie stammered and stammered, trying to explain that he was too young to do anything meaningful, and the world gently retorted: “You can’t be too young.” And then Ritchie’s feeling of guilt receded, eclipsed by a new vision that opened up to him, so extraordinary that when reading its description, one should remember that this is said by an intelligent, experienced psychiatrist who has been analyzing the differences between illusion and reality all his life.

“A new wave of light flooded the room, and we suddenly found ourselves in another world. Or, rather, I felt a completely different world, which was located in the same space. I followed Christ through ordinary streets in rural areas where there was a crowd of people. There were people there with the saddest faces I have ever seen. I saw officials walking along the corridors of the institutions where they had previously worked, trying in vain to gain someone's attention. I saw a mother walking behind her 6-year-old son, teaching and warning him. He didn't seem to hear her.

Suddenly I remembered that I had been trying to get to Richmond all night. Perhaps it was the same as with these people? Perhaps their minds and hearts are filled with earthly problems, and now, having left earthly life, they just can’t get rid of them? I wondered if this was hell. Worrying when you are absolutely powerless can actually be hell.

I was allowed to look into two more worlds that night; I can’t say “spiritual worlds,” they were very real, too strong. The second world, like the first, fit in the same space, but was completely different. Everyone in it was not absorbed in earthly problems, but—I can’t find a better word—in truth.

I saw sculptors and philosophers, composers and inventors. There were libraries and laboratories storing all kinds of achievements of scientific thought.

On last world I just took a quick glance. I saw a city, but the city, if such a thing can be assumed, was created from light. At that time I had not read either the Book of Revelation or publications. It was as if the houses, walls, and streets of the city were emitting light, and the creatures walking along it were shining as brightly as the One who stood next to me.”

The next moment, Ritchie found himself back in the military hospital, on the bed, in his body. It was several weeks before he could walk around the hospital, and while he lay there he kept wanting to look at his medical history. When he was able to sneak in unnoticed and look, he saw a note in it: Private George Ritchie, death occurred on December 20, 1943, double pneumonia. Dr. Ritchie told us:

“I later spoke with the doctor who signed the death certificate. He said that he was absolutely sure that I was dead when he examined me. However, after 9 minutes. the soldier who had to transport me to the morgue ran up to him and said that I seemed to be alive. The doctor gave me an injection of adrenaline directly into the heart muscle. “My return to life, he said, without brain damage or any other damage, is the most incomprehensible event in his life.”

The incident had a profound impact on Ritchie. He not only graduated from medical school and became a psychiatrist, but also a priest of his church. Some time ago, Dr. Ritchie was asked to speak about his experience to a group of doctors Faculty of Medicine University of Virginia.

To find out if any details remain hidden in subconscious d-a Ritchie, another psychiatrist hypnotized him, returning him to the moment when he met death. Suddenly the veins neck d-a Ritchie was swollen, blood rushed to his face, his blood pressure jumped, he experienced heart failure as he experienced his death again. The psychiatrist immediately brought him out of hypnosis.

It became clear that death d-a Ritchie was so deeply imprinted in his brain that, under hypnosis, he was able to completely repeat it - psychologically and physically. This fact has forced many doctors in the future to be wary of experimenting with the brains of people who have experienced clinical death.

Prolonged clinical death

One can imagine that people who have experienced the longest clinical death, that which occurs as a result of hypothermia, and those who have drowned in cold water, conceal stories that never become known.

With hypothermia, hypothermia, there are the most dramatic returns “from the other side.” When freezing, the body temperature drops by 8-12°C and a person can remain in a state of clinical death for hours and return to life without disturbances in brain activity. The two longest recorded deaths were that of Jean Jobone of Canada, 21, who was dead for four hours, and Edward Ted Milligan, also of Canada, 16, who was dead for about 2 hours.

Each of these cases is a medical miracle.

Early on the morning of January 8 in Winnipeg, Jean Jobone was returning home from a party in the snow. Still feeling a little giddy from the pleasant evening, she walked along the narrow street towards William Avenue. At 7 a.m., Nestor Raznak, taking out the trash before heading to work, came across Jean's body. Due to an incorrect message, the police arrived only at 8.15. To keep Jean warm, Raznak wrapped her in a carpet. The police discovered that Jean was alive and moaning.

But when she was taken to Central Hospital, the heart no longer beat. Body temperature was lower than usual by almost 11 degrees 26.3°C. Jean had no heartbeat, no pulse, no breathing, and her pupils were dilated to the limit. The wine she drank at the party helped cool her body, as the alcohol dilated her blood vessels.

For four hours without rest, 7 doctors, 10 nurses and several orderlies worked to bring her back to life. At first, the team tried to perform a superficial cardiac massage by pressing chest and squeezing the heart. A tube was inserted into Jean's windpipe for manual ventilation using bellows. For 2 hours they tried unsuccessfully to raise her body temperature - this is a necessary procedure before possible start heartbeat.

They covered her with hot towels and heated blankets, inserted a tube into her stomach and pumped warm saline solution through it. Gradually, the girl’s body temperature rose by 5°C. It took over an hour to get my heart beating. After the body temperature had risen sufficiently, a defibrillator was used to help electrical discharge make your heart beat.

At 11 o'clock at night, Jean regained consciousness, and when the weakness passed, she was able to speak. One of the team's doctors, who had an idea of ​​the afterlife that people in a state of clinical death see, asked Jean questions, but she probably experienced regressive memory loss, covering the period before getting ready for the party. Dr. Gerald Bristow, from the resuscitation team, told us that Jean's brain was completely without oxygen for half an hour, but she had no brain problems; low temperature the body slowed down its metabolism and the brain needed less oxygen. This is probably what led to the amnesia.

The doctors we spoke with believe that somewhere in the back of Jean's memory lies the events of the party and the recollection of her memory. They think that if these events could be identified, the longest duration of clinical death could be recreated. For some reason, Jean did not show any inclination to cooperate; she did not want to discuss what happened with the doctors.

Some doctors believe that hypnotic influence can be dangerous for Jean, because her death was so traumatic emotionally and psychologically. Others adhere to the point of view that a gradual immersion in the past under the guidance of a doctor could be more effective. Jean herself did not want to remember and finally came to terms with her amnesia. Maybe the reason is that she doesn’t want to remember something?

Ted Milligan, another victim of hypothermia, on the other hand, wanted to be hypnotized. 1976, January 31, morning - Ted and other students from St. John's Cathedral School in Selkirk took part in a mandatory 5-hour, 25-mile hike. It was a warm day and the young people were dressed lightly. At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, 3 hours after the start of the hike, the temperature suddenly dropped to -15°C and a strong wind blew. The guys walked in groups of 4; Ted became lethargic and stumbled. His comrades thought that he was simply tired, but about a mile and a half from the school he lost consciousness.

One of the young men remained near him, the other two ran forward to find the snowmobile and call “ ambulance" Meanwhile, 4 people from the group following them carried him half a mile. A snowmobile appeared, and Dr. Gerald Bristow, the doctor who brought Ted back to life, claimed that it took them an hour and a half to get to school.

At school, Ted was undressed and put under blankets, two young men lay down next to him, trying to warm him up. He was unconscious. The school nurse was the first to check Ted's pulse and knew he was dead. She began to use artificial respiration mouth to mouth, and the others began to massage his heart. This lasted until the ambulance arrived.

Selkirk Hospital recorded Ted's body temperature on admission as 25°C (77°F). Normal temperature body 37°C or 98.6°F. 5 doctors and 10 nurses worked for 2 hours before Ted's heart started beating again. He was covered in hot towels, causing minor burns on his thighs, warm enemas were given to him, and drugs were injected directly into his heart. Oxygen was supplied to him through a tube inserted into his windpipe.

Gradually his body temperature returned to normal, and although his heart did not beat for more than an hour and a half, and his brain received absolutely no oxygen for 15 minutes, he has no violations of the higher nervous activity. However, Ted experienced memory loss: he could not remember what happened after their group went on a hike, or what happened several hours after he regained consciousness.

Memory is gradually returning to Ted. When we spoke with him in the spring of 1977, he spoke about the beginning of his campaign and about some of the details of his stay in intensive care after his “revival.” Dr. Bristow believes that deep within the subconscious lies a vivid story of an encounter with death. Ted told us that he wanted to be hypnotized to make the story accessible, and his parents gave their consent, but before exposing Ted to such a risk, the doctors decided to wait to see if the young man's memory would recover itself over time. Here's what Ted had to say.

“When I woke up, I found out that my heart had not been beating for a record long time, that I had frozen to death. I decided that this was a lie. When they convinced me, I was shocked. Why me? – I asked a question. I was already somewhat religious then. We all attend Anglican Sunday evening sermons at our school. Facing death in a near-death state made me more religious. If I had to die again, I'd rather freeze. I felt no pain, no agony, nothing at all.”

The stories of people who have experienced clinical death are frightening and fascinating at the same time. Tunnel, bright light, meetings with dead relatives. But can this evidence be trusted? What if the near-death experience is just a hallucination of the dying brain? Belgian scientists have found a way to test whether the memories of patients who have returned from a coma are real.

"I was flying somewhere along a giant pipe. The sensations of flight turned out to be familiar - something similar had happened before in a dream. I mentally tried to slow down the flight, change its direction. It worked! There was no horror or fear. Only bliss. I tried to analyze what was happening. Conclusions came instantly. Peace , which I fell into, exists. I think, therefore I also exist? — says Vladimir Efremov, who survived clinical death.

Interest in near-death experiences is inexhaustible. We want an answer to eternal question— is there something “there” after the end of life. It seems that people who have been on the verge of death are closest to the answer. A tunnel, bright light, unusual lightness throughout the body are the most common images described by survivors of clinical death. There are also often stories of meetings with deceased relatives and friends.

These stories are frightening and fascinating at the same time - they seem to prove that the afterlife still exists. Most people would really like to believe this: we don’t disappear after death, there will be something else. But can this evidence be trusted? Let’s say it’s not so difficult to check whether the storytellers are making things up: there are lie detectors and computed tomography of the brain that would help recognize lies. But how can you tell if they actually had an out-of-body experience or if it was just a hallucination?

A common hypothesis explaining the experience of clinical death, which is shared by many doctors, is that the consciousness of the dying person becomes clouded and the field of vision narrows. The tunnel vision is just a circle of narrowed vision, and White light at its end there is a lamp on the surgical table or in the intensive care ward. According to other hypotheses, visions of bright light and the afterlife may be hallucinations, a consequence of organic brain damage, or even simply psychological protection almost killed a man.

Experiments here, of course, are inappropriate: the resuscitation team has something better to do than connect sensors to the dying person’s brain for scanning. However, researchers from the University of Liege in Belgium have come up with a method that would help determine how real the experiences of patients who have experienced clinical death are after the dramatic events. The fact is that people’s brains are capable of storing memories both of events experienced in reality and of their own fantasies, book plots and other fictions. But these memories are stored in different areas, and when they are activated, two different brain mechanisms are involved. It turns out that all you need to do is take a tomogram and it won’t be difficult to recognize the reality or illusory nature of near-death memories.

Scientists have worked with people who have survived comas. They asked them about real impressions from ordinary life, and then about the experience of dying, and recorded the work of their brains during the activation of those and other memories. To control, the brain activity of the patients was compared with the work of the cortex in ordinary people who had never fallen into a coma.

What did the experiments show? Their results were surprising, but, alas, it is still impossible to give a definite answer: is there life after death? Memories of clinical death turned out to be... more real than reality itself, in the literal sense. The brain remembers them differently than simple fantasies and any other imaginary memory. But also from the memories of real life near-death experiences are also different: they are remembered more clearly than pictures from Everyday life patient - more detailed and vivid.

The brain of a dying person must malfunction, because at this moment the entire body fails. However, the nature of the memories of patients in the experiment of Belgian scientists suggests that at this moment the brain works even more clearly than during normal life. Memories of “leaving the body” are recorded much better than simple everyday activities.

The light and the tunnel are a fairly popular perception of death, but, as Rachel Neuwer discovered, many other strange experiences can be found in the reports. In 2011, Mr. A, 57 years old Social worker from England, was taken to Southampton General Hospital after suffering a heart attack at work. Doctors were just inserting a catheter into his groin when his heart stopped. The brain stopped receiving oxygen and Mr. A died.

Rachel Neuwer

Despite this, he remembers what happened next. Doctors used an automated external defibrillator to try to get his heart pumping again. Mr. A heard a mechanical voice say, “Discharge” twice. Between these words, he raised his head and saw a strange woman who was beckoning him to her from the corner of the room, under the ceiling. He joined her, leaving his body. “I felt that she knew me and that I could trust her, and I knew that she was there for some reason, but I didn’t know what it was,” Mr. A later recalled, “the next second I was already there.” near her and looked down at himself, saw a nurse and another man with a bald head.”

Hospital records later confirmed Mr. A's words. Mr. A's descriptions of the people in the room and those he had not seen before he lost consciousness and their actions were also accurate. He described events that occurred within three minutes of his clinical death, about which, according to our knowledge of biology, he should not have had the slightest idea.

The story of Mr. A, described in the magazine "Reanimatology" is one of many in which people share their near death experience. Until now, researchers had not realized that when the heart stops beating and stops supplying blood to the brain, consciousness does not immediately fade away. At this time, the person is effectively dead - although as we learn more about death, we begin to understand that in some cases death can be reversible. For years, those who returned from this incomprehensible state shared memories of this event. Doctors generally did not take these stories into account, considering them the fruit of hallucinations. Researchers are still reluctant to delve into the study of near-death experiences, mainly because they have to study something that is beyond the reach of scientific research.

But Sam Parnia, critical care physician and director of critical care research medical school New York University, along with colleagues from 17 institutions in the US and UK, wanted to put an end to assumptions about what people do or don't experience on their deathbeds. This is possible, he believes, if we collect scientific data about last minutes life. Over the course of four years, he and his colleagues analyzed information on more than 2,000 patients who had survived cardiac arrest.

Parnia and his colleagues were able to interview 101 of them. “The goal is to try to first understand their psychological experience of death,” says Parnia, “and then if there are people who claim to remember their experience after death, we need to determine whether this is really the case.”

Seven Tastes of Death

It turned out that Mr. A was not the only patient who was able to remember something about his death. Nearly 50% of the study participants also remembered something, but unlike Mr. A and another woman whose out-of-body adventures could be verified, the other patients' memories were not related to the actual events that occurred at the time of their death.

Instead, they told dreamlike or hallucinatory stories, which Parnia and his co-authors classify into seven main themes. "Most of them were not consistent in their description of what is called experience near death“It appears that the psychic experience of death is much broader than previously thought,” says Parnia.”

These seven topics are:

  • Fear
  • Animals or plants
  • Bright light
  • Violence and harassment
  • Deja vu
  • Family

Description of events after cardiac arrest

These mental experiences range from fear to bliss. There were those who reported feeling fear or suffering persecution. “I had to go through a ceremony... and at the ceremony they burned me,” said one patient, “there were four people with me, and depending on who lied and who told the truth, he died or came back to life... I saw men in coffins buried in vertical position" He also remembered how he was “dragged into the depths.”

Others, however, experienced the opposite sensations, with 22% reporting a feeling of "peace and calm." Some saw living creatures: “All plants, no flowers” ​​or “Lions and tigers”; while others basked in the bright light or reunited with family. Some reported a strong sense of déjà vu: “I knew what people were going to do before they did it.” Heightened senses, a distorted perception of the passage of time, and a feeling of disconnection from the body were also among the sensations reported by near-death survivors.

"It's very clear that people experience things while they're dead," Parnia says, and argues that people actually choose to interpret these experiences depending on their environment and existing beliefs. Someone living in India might come back from the dead and say they saw Krishna, while someone in the Midwestern United States might have the same experience but claim to have seen God. “If a father in the Midwest says to a child, ‘When we die, you will see Jesus, and he will be full of love and compassion,’ then the child, of course, will see that,” says Parnia, “and when he returns from the other world, he will say: “ Oh dad, you're right, I definitely saw Jesus!’ It would be fair to admit that this is true. You don't know what God is. I don't know what God is. Well, except that he is a man with a white beard, as he is usually portrayed.”

“All these things: the soul, heaven and hell - I have no idea what they mean, and there are probably thousands and thousands of interpretations based on where you were born and what surrounds you,” he continues. “It is important to move from the realm of religious teachings to objectivity.”

General cases

So far, the team of scientists has not identified any patterns in the memories of those who returned from the other world. There is no explanation why some people experience fear while others report euphoria. Parnia also indicates that everything larger number people experience clinical death. For many people, the flashbacks are almost certainly caused by the swelling of the brain that occurs after cardiac arrest, or by strong sedatives given to patients in hospitals. Even if people don't explicitly remember their death, it can still affect them on a subconscious level. Some people stop fearing death and begin to have an altruistic attitude towards people, while others develop post-traumatic stress disorder.

Parnia and his colleagues are already planning future studies to try to resolve some of these questions. They also hope their work will help expand traditional understandings of death. They think that death should be considered as a subject of study - just like any other objects or phenomena. “Anyone with an objective mind would agree that further research in this area is necessary,” says Parnia, “and we have the means and technology. It's time to do it."

Your ton of gold is floating in the oceans

There is so much gold dissolved in the world's oceans that if we managed to extract it, then every person on Earth would get a whole ton. But the problem is precisely that any method of extracting this gold known to us is more expensive than the gold itself. The technology to do this quickly and cheaply doesn't exist yet, so if you're an engineer or inventor, here's a worthy challenge! By the way, find out who owns 11% of all the gold in the world.

What is the “poverty trap”?

Sociologists call a “poverty trap” a situation where children growing up in poverty cannot, for this reason, receive a decent education, a well-paid profession and a decent pension, and are forced to remain on the social bottom all their lives. According to the latest data from Rosstat, in Russia the share of children from low-income families is 26% of the total: all of them are at risk of falling into the “poverty trap.”

As long as humanity has existed, it has been asking the question: is there life after death? And if it exists, then what is the human soul? IN different time answers to this question varied. Eg, Greek philosopher Democritus believed that the soul is a lump of a substance that is hot and soft to the touch and can be touched. Plato, on the contrary, believed that the soul is incorporeal and lives wherever it wants.

In the twentieth century, in the age of total scientific domination, the soul was completely denied existence. They believed that the soul was invented by the priests in order to lure people to temples, and that there was no life after death. This was the customary belief until one day, when one day a resuscitator from America, Raymond Moody, became interested in the stories of people who had experienced clinical death, and wanted to somehow systematize them. Then incredible things became clear.

Instead of meeting the requirements of science and admitting that life ends after cardiac arrest, all patients seem to have conspired to talk about amazing events. Moreover, what is curious is that everyone tells about the same thing, as if they had actually been somewhere in the same place.

So, it means that something happens to the soul after death that official science has no idea about? It was after the sensational report of Dr. Moody scientific world became preoccupied with the problem of the human soul and set out in search of it. For example, from the achievements of a group of scientists from St. Petersburg, it was even possible to invent a special apparatus capable of photographing the soul, or rather the energy that lives in us along with the physical body...

Alexander Shein, resuscitator:

“There was such a patient, I remember her very well. She, unfortunately, died - she had diabetes and many associated complications. This woman survived several massive heart attacks, she simply died before my eyes, and she literally died with a smile on her face. And always, when she was still in full memory, conscious, she made it clear that everything that was happening to her, although it was sad and bitter, was not a final departure from life for her. This is a simple transition somewhere, into some other existence, which happened to her during clinical death.”

Buddhists have a special instruction, Bardo Thodol, known in the West as “Tibetan book of the dead" It describes in detail everything that awaits a person after the death of the physical body. An ancient manuscript written several thousand years ago contains detailed descriptions what is now commonly called clinical death.

One of the key points is bright light. The Tibetan Book of the Dead is a set of recommendations that describe what happens to consciousness after physical death. The first thing the soul sees is a tunnel of white light:

“Soon you will exhale your last breath, and it will stop. Here you will see the eternal Pure Light. An incredible Space will open before you, boundless, like an Ocean without waves, under a cloudless sky. You will float like a feather, freely, alone.

Don't get distracted, don't rejoice! Don't be afraid! This is the moment of your death! Use death, for this is a great opportunity. Keep your thoughts clear, without clouding them even with compassion. Let your love become passionless. After the exhalation has completely stopped, it is good if someone clearly reads the following words directly into your ear: “You are now in the Eternal Light, try to remain in this state that you are experiencing.”

Modern science can explain the phenomena described in ancient book. Clinical death is the first stage of dying biological organism. The beginning of the transition from life to death. During clinical death, the heart and breathing stop, all signs of vital activity disappear. During the first 10–15 minutes. A person can still be brought back to life, but this does not always happen. Only 5% of people who have been on the verge of death come back.

Andrei Yurkovsky was lucky - he was able to survive clinical death. At the age of 12, Andrei was admitted to intensive care with anaphylactic shock. For several hours, doctors fought for the teenager’s life, but medicine was powerless. Doctors pronounced him dead.

Andrey Yurkovsky, naval officer:

“The first thing I remembered was the doctors in white coats, the bustle around, then I began to seem to be moving away somewhere... I can’t say what happened next, but I remember that childhood memories began to scroll through my brain, I saw relatives...”

While the boy's body was in the intensive care unit, his soul traveled in the Subtle World. Andrey remembers how he watched what was happening from the side. I saw doctors and relatives who could not find a place for themselves from excitement. I remembered how the doctors uttered the fateful words: “Cardiac arrest” - and how the mother began to cry when she was told that her son had died. Andrei was considered dead for two days, but the doctors were mistaken. The boy returned from the other world. He woke up unexpectedly, and the return was painful.

The doctors couldn’t believe their eyes; they couldn’t explain what happened. Andrey was examined for a long time before he was discharged from the hospital. For a boy, a trip to Subtle world was a real revelation. Thanks to clinical death, he realized that in addition to the physical body, there is some substance that continues to live when the body dies.

Rushel Blavo, Dr. medical sciences, psychotherapist: “A person is not only physical state, it is also the presence of the mental, astral, etheric and other bodies and, of course, the soul itself.”

Ancient people believed that after death the soul does not die along with the body, but passes to another world. There she continues to live. That is why they tried to provide the dead with everything they needed. Archaeologists find weapons and household items in ancient burials. The ancient Egyptians built majestic tombs - pyramids - for the pharaohs. They believed that these gigantic structures would become a reliable refuge in the afterlife.

Famous athlete Eduard Serebryakov, champion of the USSR and Russia in Greco-Roman wrestling, experienced clinical death. He still considers it the most important event In my life.

E. Serebryakov, former athlete, champion of the USSR and the Russian Federation in Greco-Roman wrestling:

“What did clinical death give me? She changes lives. I know it exists, but others don't. When people find themselves in some extreme situations, some catastrophes happen to them, at this time certain forces intervene that change a person ... "

The tragedy occurred on May 14, 1997. Edward, as usual, went to work in a car. Approaching a railway crossing, he felt that the car had lost control. He pressed the brake, and the pedal sank, went to the floor. As they later found out, an attempt was made on the athlete’s life, the brake hoses were cut, and he was unable to slow down. In the end, he did slow down, but stopped right in the middle of the crossing.

And at that moment his alarm went off and the doors locked. Everything happened in a matter of seconds. The athlete's car was parked at a railway crossing, and he could not get out. A moment later he saw a train rushing straight towards him. The man understood: a collision was inevitable and there was practically no chance of survival. Time seemed to stand still for him at that moment.

Eduard Serebryakov:

“Immediately a thought arose in my head: is this really my last day? How is this possible, there must be some sign from above?! It turns out that there is no sign, everything happens unexpectedly. These 2-3 seconds. lasted for hours or whole days. Then such an unpleasant thought appeared: I’m going to be completely crippled... I jumped into the back seat so that at least my face would remain intact, covered my head, and intuitively turned around with my back to the window in the hope that I would recover from the blow.

Then came the blow... I see that I am lying in a coffin, I see my relatives. They mourn me. Some say that after death they went up and saw doctors. I didn't have that. I simply saw my funeral, felt like I was lying in a coffin, saw that people were saying goodbye to me... I can’t say how long it lasted.”

Edward watched his own funeral, realizing at the same time that he continued to exist. He felt such peace and serenity that to this day he cannot find words to describe these feelings. Edward says that he understood why people who at the moment of death have the opportunity to return prefer to stay there. The point is that bliss occurs there.

The return was sudden. He heard sharp, loud, unpleasant sounds, and then he heard the driver’s voice: “Man, are you alive?” Edward replied: “I don’t know.” At first he was incomprehensibly where, then suddenly there was another sharp transition, and then the driver with his question...

Serebryakov was able to survive miraculously. During the collision, the train did not crush the car, but, hooking it on the track clearer, like a pitchfork, dragged it several tens of meters until the train came to a complete stop. The guy received severe injuries. There is a large scar on his head. He had broken ribs and a leg, and his whole body was covered in cuts and bruises. The athlete was in the hospital for almost six months. There he realized that after traveling to the next world, something had changed in him.

Eduard Serebryakov:

“Why I came back here, I don’t know. They know it higher power. So it's needed for something. I can only guess, guess. Perhaps I returned in order to move the old lady across the road tomorrow so that she would not die under a car. Perhaps in order to talk to you, so that someone can hear my story...”

After returning from the other world, Eduard Serebryakov completely changed his life. He left sports and began writing poetry. But not just poems, but rhyming prophecies.

The girl was holding a bell
The wind ruffled her hair
Only life sadly died
And sadness was its ending
I see reflections on the moon
In this mirror of bottomless emptiness
Like a madman seeks pleasure
In the killing of one's own soul
The sound either cuts or jumps fervently
Sticky sweat does not confirm fear
The stone wears away the water in this fairy tale
Because he's softer now

Eduard Serebryakov:

“I wrote these lines a few hours before Beslan. It just kind of wrote itself. I understand that it was a higher power that guided me. On the first of September, I suddenly learned on the news about the seizure of the school. Remember how the children suffered there? You see, the stone wears away water, and not vice versa, and sticky sweat...”

It has been noticed that, after clinical death, a person changes radically. He seems to be rethinking his life, and this is scientific explanation. Psychologists, for example, compare post-mortem experiences to shock therapy. They consider awareness of the unexpected finitude of existence to be one of the most powerful incentives for unlocking human potential.

Everything that does not kill us makes us stronger. The experience of dying helps a person to develop further. Another question: is he able to accept this negative experience and use it for some kind of movement forward?

People who have experienced clinical death sometimes acquire the abilities of telepathy and clairvoyance.

The famous neurophysiologist Natalya Bekhtereva believed that these phenomena actually exist. For a long time she worked in intensive care, observing dozens of returns from the other world. Those who were reanimated described a black tunnel, at the end of which a light was visible, talked about the feeling of flying, and described a bright light that was at the end of the tunnel. Natalya Bekhtereva tried to understand what happens to the human brain at this time, and to answer the question of whether during clinical death the soul of the dying person actually leaves the body.

The result of almost half a century scientific work neurophysiologist N. Bekhtereva made a sensational conclusion. Human brain- This is a kind of receiving and transmitting mechanism in which human consciousness is formed. But consciousness is not directly connected to the brain; it only uses the brain to receive signals. The brain receives information, processes it, and only then makes logical decisions. But who dictates these signals? After all, sometimes people receive a ready-made formulation as if out of nowhere. According to Bekhtereva, this “someone” is our soul. It is she who, during clinical death, leaves the body and receives information, which, after returning to the body, is processed by the brain.

Moreover, during clinical death, a kind of “reboot” of the brain occurs. Our thinking machine begins to work in a different mode. The most ancient areas that were not previously used are activated. They are the ones who endow a person with unusual abilities. During evolution, these capabilities of the human brain were blocked.

Leningrad region, 2008. The house is on fire. The second floor is on fire. Thick clouds of smoke pour out of the windows. A strange body rushes across the roof, and then merges with a column of smoke and rushes upward. People died in the fire, and the camera was able to record their souls. Subtle bodies often end up in camera lenses. These are translucent balls with a heterogeneous structure. More often they appear in places where human emotions are shown in abundance, for example in cemeteries.

1828, May 18, Crete. A battle took place between the Greeks and the Turks at the Franco Castello castle. For 7 days there were bloody battles under the walls of the fortress.

Tatyana Syrchenko, editor of the newspaper “Anomaly”:

"Story human lives leaves its mark. And what people call ghosts are essentially traces. These can be called phantoms or manifestations of some substances still unknown to us.”

Since then, every year on May 18, the battle is repeated again and again. With the first rays of the sun, ghost warriors appear above the horizon. They head towards the coast. Casual witnesses say that at the same time the clatter of horses, the screams of soldiers and even the groans of the wounded are heard. Researchers call these rare phenomena chronomirages. They reproduce real historical events. You can often observe this kind of phenomenon in places where tragic events took place. Souls dead people, ghosts of the past, can remain indefinitely at the place of their death.

It is generally accepted that a person has 7 bodies: physical, etheric, astral, karmic, and so on. Scientists call them projections of man in the multidimensional Universe. After all, it has been scientifically proven that big bang The universe existed in 10 dimensions. Thus, the physical body of a person lives in a three-dimensional world, the ethereal - in a four-dimensional world, astral body- in the fifth dimension. And after the death of a person, these essences begin to rapidly disintegrate. First, the physical body dies, on the 9th day - the etheric, on the 40th - the astral. And only then does what religions around the world call the soul go free.

A ghost is nothing more than an etheric body. The etheric body is the same as our physical body, but only having a four-dimensional nature; it seems to be a little slowed down in time. Such a ghost may be right here, but we will not see it, because it does not refract sunlight.

Often with violent or unexpected death human consciousness can't admit the fact own death and tries to continue his usual existence. And sometimes it simply does not understand what happened to it.

According to people who call themselves mediums, most people simply did not realize that they had died. They do not know that they are already dead, just as many do not know that they are alive while alive. People do things mechanically throughout their lives, and when death occurs, they simply continue to do the same things after death. Thus, even after death a person can go to work, meet someone there, and dream about something. Especially if he died unexpectedly. Those who commit suicide and people who die suddenly become ghosts. Their etheric bodies doomed to eternal wandering.

Eduard Gulyaev, Doctor of Energy Information Sciences, Professor: “Ghosts and ghosts are really existing clots of energy. Most often these are etheric bodies thrown off at a moment of great shock.”

The ghost of Emperor Paul I, killed in Engineering castle, still scares tourists to this day. Witnesses describe a ghostly figure walking around the castle and sometimes even playing the flute.

According to researchers, the Subtle World exists in parallel with the physical world. This is a world of energy and information. What is called the “subtle world”, “other planes”, “ parallel worlds“- these are simply, perhaps, those aspects that our consciousness does not perceive until a certain moment. And then, at some point, switching, it begins to perceive.

It is believed that the Subtle World is inhabited by the souls of people and animals, the spirits of the elements and various kinds ethereal beings. This is where human life continues after death. This is where ghosts and apparitions come from. According to psychics, we can draw information from intangible sources. This extra-sensory information can tell us about the future or the past.

Numerous testimonies of encounters with ghosts and apparitions do not allow us to neglect this phenomenon. It is believed that these are the souls of the dead who want to convey certain messages or requests to the living. For example, the ghost of the poet Dante Alighieri appeared to his son to indicate the place where the last songs of the Divine Comedy were hidden...
