#141 Dr. Eben Alexander- Death is an illusion A Neurosurgeon’s Near Death Experience.

Dr. Eben Alexander spent over 25 years as an academic neurosurgeon, including 15 years at the Brigham & Women’s Hospital, the Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston.  Over those years he personally dealt with hundreds of patients suffering from severe alterations in their level of consciousness. Many of those patients were rendered comatose by trauma, brain tumors, ruptured aneurysms, infections, or stroke. He thought he had a very good idea of how the brain generates consciousness, mind and spirit. In the predawn hours of November 10, 2008, he was driven into coma by a rare and mysterious bacterial meningo-encephalitis of unknown cause. He spent a week in coma on a ventilator, his prospects for survival diminishing rapidly. On the seventh day, to the surprise of everyone, he started to awaken. Memories of his life had been completely deleted inside of the coma, yet he awoke with memories of a fantastic odyssey deep into another realm – more real than this earthly one! His older son advised him to write down everything he could remember about his journey, before he read anything about near-death experiences, physics or cosmology. Six weeks later, he completed his initial recording of his remarkable journey, totaling over 20,000 words in length. Then he started reading, and was astonished by the commonalities between his journey and so many others reported throughout all cultures, continents and millennia. His journey brought key insights to the mind-body discussion and to our human understanding of the fundamental nature of reality. His experience clearly revealed that we are conscious in spite of our brain – that, in fact, consciousness is at the root of all existence. His story offers a crucial key to the understanding of reality and human consciousness. It will have a major effect on how we view spirituality, soul and the non-material realm. In analyzing his experience, including the scientific possibilities and grand implications, he envisions a more complete reconciliation of modern science and spirituality as a natural product. He has been blessed with a complete recovery that is inexplicable from the viewpoint of modern Western medicine.  summary   Dr. Eben Alexander shares his profound near-death experience, exploring the nature of consciousness, the afterlife, and the spiritual realm. Discover insights from his journey as a neurosurgeon turned spiritual explorer, and learn how these experiences challenge materialist science and open new pathways for understanding reality.

#138 Nicolas Hulscher - Bioterrorism & The Dark Side of mRNA Vaccines

Epidemiologist Nicolas Hulscher discusses the alarming findings related to the COVID-19 pandemic, mRNA vaccines, and their impact on public health. He shares his journey into research, revealing shocking mortality rates and the potential long-term effects of mRNA on infants and the population. He also touches on the pre-planned nature of the pandemic, the lack of accountability for those involved, and the emerging health concerns linked to bioterrorism and geoengineering. Hulscher emphasizes the importance of raising awareness, combating censorship, and finding hope amidst the chaos.   Nicolas Hulscher is an epidemiologist and administrator at the McCullough Foundation. Born and raised in Michigan, he earned his Bachelor of Science in Pre-Health Professional Studies from the Oakland University Honors College in 2020, graduating with Institutional and Departmental Honors. He went on to receive a Master of Public Health (MPH) degree with a specialization in Epidemiology from the University of Michigan School of Public Health in 2024. He has since contributed to the publication of more than 25 scientific studies, advancing understanding of COVID-19 vaccine injuries, childhood vaccine injuries, cancer treatments, SARS-CoV-2, H5N1 avian influenza, and the multifactorial determinants of autism spectrum disorder.     Chapters   00:00 Introduction to the COVID-19 Pandemic and mRNA Vaccines 02:57 The Start of a Research Journey 05:47 Mortality Rates and Vaccine Impact 08:51 Pre-planned Pandemic and Accountability 11:54 Emerging Health Concerns and Bioterrorism 14:46 Infant Mortality and Transgenerational Effects 17:54 Population Control and Elite Agendas 20:47 Censorship and Information Control 23:58 Future Research Directions and Solutions 27:05 Technological Concerns: mRNA Implants and 5G 30:00 Geoengineering and Psychological Warfare 33:03 Finding Hope and Connection in Dark Times    takeaways   The COVID-19 pandemic and mRNA vaccines have led to unprecedented mortality rates. Research indicates a significant increase in infant mortality rates post-vaccine rollout. There is evidence suggesting the pandemic was pre-planned and not accidental. Accountability for those responsible for vaccine mandates is lacking. Emerging health concerns include bioterrorism and the effects of mRNA on food supply. Population control agendas are being discussed by elite groups. Censorship is a major barrier to spreading awareness about vaccine dangers. Technological advancements like mRNA implants raise ethical concerns. Geoengineering practices are being conducted without public knowledge. Finding hope and connection is essential in addressing these issues.    https://nicolashulscher.com [https://nicolashulscher.com] https://www.instagram.com/nic.hulscher [https://www.instagram.com/nic.hulscher]   Music for episode Renick Turley SedonaFilm | Musician .
