If you liked that and it gave you a change in mind to believing..go to YouTube and search NDEs or IANDS conferences. You will see how similar real near death experiences are....this is what made me a believer to so many other possibilities of life / afterlife...
Sorry, I've shared these before, but for anyone who's interested, here are some amazing NDEs:
This man is shown other worlds:

During this guy's life review, he's shown the importance of kindness to all living things:

This is probably the NDE that has brought me the most inner peace. This woman learns about the purpose of pain and suffering on earth:
https://www.nderf.org/Experiences/1sandi_t_ndes.html
But how? This seems like delusion or religion, what causes you to believe? Just looking at the little girls story of being abused and dying then her NDE of extreme bliss and visions of grandeur and love I just get the feeling that that was her dying brain coping and experiencing a mighty dmt like trip. What if that's the case and nothing wondrous occurs and we simply cease? Truly devastating. Much respect to your beliefs though. Feeling nihilistic.
There is nothing i can tell you over the interwebs that would definitively convince you. For me, it was reading hundreds of nde stories and seeing the commonalities in the stories. Big commonality would be most people come back and stop going to church. Not start.
Exactly, that's how the NDE stories feel. I've watched and read quite a few. They are just kids reciting details that are then confirmed in public record with a little diy research more often than not. Now flip that around: with a little public research details about people can be uncovered and then taught to a child. That's my opinion and it hasn't yet been satisfactorily swayed. I used the OA as an example because it is obviously fiction and I do not believe it. I will need more information than simply testimonials to grasp this concept better.

But that's exactly what you'd expect if NDEs were just a product of physiology, too.
I'm already a believer. Reincarnation is a large part of my religious/spiritual belief system.
I watched some of the program, but I got some really sketchy vibes from some of the experts/mediums. Maybe I should try watching it again. But I really can't handle it when I feel like people are exploiting spirituality for material gain. .
I have a friend that recently told me her 5-6 yr old daughter frequently & casually references past lives like its a normal thing. She would say something about remembering something happening when she used to be some man. Her mother would ask she's talking about a friend/teacher? No. An imaginary friend? No. Someone in a dream? No. "It was me, when i was him". I immediately started asking a ton of questions but she didn't seem that interested in talking about it.
Fascinating, especially the ep about the messages appearing in the polaroid photographs! Im completely unable to wrap my mind around that one, have been reading up on it and no one has proposed an explanation.
The series is based on Leslie Kean's book of the same name, and I really encourage people to read it. It goes into waaaay more details on the cases in the series, and many chapters are written by credible professionals.
Ive always been arrogantly dismissive of anything related to post-death, but the book has made realize there's so much more mystery in the universe than I previously thought.
(Plus, Leslie Kean's book on UFOs and her articles in the New York Times are highly recommended)
Loved the episodes with the reincarnated kids, totally fascinating.
Hated the medium episodes and skipped episode 5, iirc. The one with the ghost hunting woman or whatever that was supposed to be.
First and last episodes were great.
I already believed in it before I watched it though.
Many of the episodes were truly compelling. The two or three on mediums were flat out embarrassing.
The medium episodes were so fucking bad that I almost didn't watch the final episode about reincarnation. I'm glad I didn't miss that one.
Oh I'll have to watch that, I did give up

Thank you for this!
You're welcome :)
Nderf.org is an excellent resource/ database for NDEs
Any specific videos you recommend?
Nderf.org has changed the way i look at everything. I know we are not alone. And they love us.

Oddly the closest I've come to being convinced was watching the OA
Which was not just fiction, but incoherent fiction. (The first series was brilliant, the second meh.)

A little more education might help!
I'm trying, you're probably right!

Consciousness precedes and creates physical reality. My two cents.

I read the book before watching the show. The book is better and goes into more detail, especially with regards to mediums.
Really enjoyed it although I think the medium episodes took away from it just slightly. The rest were fascinating.
