Deathbed visions

Mind, Brain, and Spirit with Peter Fenwick (1935 - 2024) (4K Reboot)

New Thinking AllowedSep 2, 2026

Neuropsychiatrist Peter Fenwick, a longtime epilepsy specialist at London's Maudsley Hospital, explains how a skeptical scientist came to see near-death experiences and the dying process as evidence that consciousness may extend beyond the brain. Drawing on hospice studies, he describes premonitions, deathbed visitors, terminal lucidity, deathbed coincidences and the 'emptying of the body', concluding that death is an expansion of consciousness rather than a switching off. He also describes lab experiments with spiritual teacher Alain Forger, whose apparent ability to 'give light' to students showed measurable brain-to-brain effects in simultaneous EEG recordings.

The Case for the Afterlife with Chris Carter

New Thinking AllowedAug 28, 2026

Oxford-educated physics teacher Chris Carter joins psychologist Jeffrey Mishlove to argue that science, done properly, does not rule out life after death and may actually support it. Carter lays out five independent lines of evidence, namely deathbed visions, near-death experiences, apparitions, children who remember past lives, and communication through mediums, which he says all point to the survival of consciousness. Highlights include a chess match allegedly played between a living grandmaster and a dead one through a medium, and a dying woman who 'saw' a sister whose death had been kept from her.

Embracing Death with Tony Ærcyus Christie

New Thinking AllowedAug 24, 2026

Mystic and labyrinth teacher Tony Ærcyus Christie joins Jeffrey Mishlove to argue that death is not an ending but a transition the soul chooses, part of a continuum running from the 'here before' to the 'hereafter.' Drawing on near-death experience accounts, deathbed visions, and between-lives hypnotherapy, he claims we plan our lives in advance, face a compassionate life review rather than judgment, and are always greeted by loved ones when we die. He also describes guiding lost souls on with the labyrinth and suggests that reincarnation is really one infinite consciousness living many past, future, and even extraterrestrial lives at once.
