The Unbelievable Becomes Believable

By

Roger Behra

In the field of science, if something cannot be touched or felt or seen or heard, then, it does not exist. But that philosophy is slowly and surely beginning to change, especially in regards to what happens to a person at death. However, it has been and still is common for doctors and others to say that when a person dies, it is all over, that there is nothing more.

In the past when a doctor’s patient related what went on during a near-death experience, it was regarded as a hallucination and not a real experience, and that it was caused oxygen deprivation to the brain. But, as thousands of near-death experiences have been related and recorded and studied, it is becoming quite evident that death is not the end and that there is much more to it, and that a person’s consciousness most definitely continues on.

The medical profession is most interested in this subject of consciousness continuing on after death. Thanks to the two pioneers, Dr. Melvin Morse, a pediatrician in private practice, and Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, now deceased, and several others recently, a strong light is being focused on this very important subject.

What got Dr. Morse interested in what goes on during a near-death experience happened early in his medical career. A lifeless child was brought into his emergency room. She had been under water for eighteen minutes and was considered clinically dead, but the emergency room crew very quickly began the resuscitation procedure. After more than forty-five minutes of the procedure, the child was brought back to life.

Later, Dr. Morse had a conversation with the child. He was astounded at the story the child excitedly told him. The story included what the resuscitation crew talked about, and what went on during the forty-five minutes, and that in the middle of the effort Dr. Morse called another doctor and asked “what do I do now.” She even told the doctor what he and the crew were wearing and the color of their hear, etc. it was unbelievable it seemed. So, Dr. Morse decided to devote a great deal of his life to examining and studying the near-death experience. You can dead about his efforts in his books, namely, Closer to the Light, Transformed By the Light, and is new book, God’s World.

Dr. Kubler-Ross is the real pioneer in the study and recording information on near-death experiences. During her lifetime she interviewed and recorded over 20,000 near-death experiences, and that included people in all parts of this world, after she had her own near-death experience. Her book, On Life After Death, is a most interesting and informative one.

After many decades have passed, the scientific world is finally becoming interested in this very interesting subject. And the questions are:

1. Is science interested in order to enlighten us?
2. Is science interested only because in the end the science people have to face the same end here on earth as all others do?

The answer it is hoped is to do both. To enlighten and satisfy themselves are two very worthwhile goals.
