Dr. Bruce Greyson, University of Virginia Professor Emeritus, and leading expert in near-death experience (NDE) research , discusses why the science of consciousness can be elevated only when the consciousness of scientists themselves has been elevated. He argues that science and spirituality are not only compatible, but only a marriage of the two can provide an accurate description of reality.

About Dr. Bruce Greyson
Dr. Bruce Greyson is the Chester Carlson Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia. He was previously on the medical faculty at the University of Michigan and the University of Connecticut, where he was Clinical Chief of Psychiatry. Dr. Greyson has consulted with the National Institutes of Health and addressed symposia on consciousness at the United Nations and at the Dalai Lama’s compound in Dharamsala, India. He has earned awards for his medical research and was elected a Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, the highest honor bestowed by that organization.
Dr. Greyson’s interest in near-death experiences began just a few months after graduating from medical school, when he treated an unconscious patient in the emergency room who stunned him the next morning with an account of leaving her body. That event challenged his beliefs about the mind and the brain, and ultimately led him on a journey to study near-death experiences scientifically, leading to more than a hundred publications in medical journals. He co-founded the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS), an organization to support and promote research into these experiences, and for 27 years edited the Journal of Near-Death Studies, the only scholarly journal dedicated to near-death research. Through his research, he has discovered common and universal themes in near-death experiences that go beyond neurophysiological or cultural interpretations, as well as patterns of consistent aftereffects on individuals’ attitudes, beliefs, values, and personalities.
Dr. Greyson is the author of “After: A Doctor Explores What Near-Death Experiences Reveal About Life and Beyond”. The book challenges our everyday ideas about our minds and our brains and offers key insights on how we can begin to live a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

Wow, he told this story so well and so carefully.
What is important in life: non-religious, pragmatic, secular humanism, AKA real, unconditional love!
What an amazing and interesting presentation, very well performed. It taught me a lot. I hope more people will be open to listen and take in what he says with an open mind.
This is great. There is such a massive audience for the history of IANDS, MUFON, Transpersonal Psychologists that risked everything to explore a feild that would bring no prestige or glorification….. The Survival of Personality after Biological Death will be the the largest Nobel Prize ever.
They will need a dump truck to bring that Nobel home. Will be the greatest paper/book/journal article in world history.
Astonishing. I also think our earthly brain is blocking the mind. I had an experience. I was home. The news on the radio started at 8 pm. I coundn't understand a word! But I was OVERWHELMED by unconditional love. I saw a title but I couldn't read it. I felt that someone was with me. I told my friend who was cooking. It took about five minutes. Next day my mother called me that my dearest auntie died. Euthanasia. At 8 'o clock. This has left a deep impression on me. Now I have a rough time. But when I think of it it helps. I believe what you say in a very human and emotional way. Thanks Doctor Greyson!
Amazing talk. The best I have ever heard on this subject
Even if you consider these NDE's to be actual experience. You still have to consider the fact that all people see different gods relating to their cultural background and all westerner describe Jesus differently as white Nordic man. They talk to him saying he told me how he got crucified which in itself is debatable and then you have Hindus seeing Hindu God talking and confirming their religion and then you have Muslims seeing Islamic figures. You see what you want to see which makes it highly plausible that these are merely just hallucinations reconstructed by your culture. Christians see heaven like in the bible and atheist see heaven differently.
Thank you Dr Greyson.
I became a Christian at around age 11, in my public school auditorium when the Gideons came to speak and handed out little New Testament bibles to all the students. I hung onto all the red letters in the Bible, which signified the words spoken by Christ. Soon after believing in Jesus, I wrote something in my diary that has come back to my memory often:
“God is love, if you live love, you live what He is.”
I wish I could say that I have always lived my life according to those words, sadly not always because I am an imperfect human.
This video and others like it certainly bring life’s true purpose back into focus.
God bless
I wonder what was happening in his personal life that he had to control tears throughout his lecture. I hope it turned out okay. What control he displayed to be able do the lecture from mostly memory and not actually break down or stop the talk. ❤
I rarely say I am impressed with any scientist whom others laud as “brilliant.” This man is brilliant not because I agree with him, but because he truly steps out of his former comfort zone. 95% of the scientists I have come into contact with refuse to do this. I respect this man and wish him well.
He wasn't crying @18:40 was he. I've listened to this video close to 25 times. Ive been following NDE'S and Reincarnation videos for long time. This stuff is much more interesting than those 5 mil views & 90k likes blah blah. I never believed God in my entire life, but ever since i came to know about Reincarnation and things. 🌹🌹🌹
My dad, trauma surgeon, said Pt. Coded. Brought her back. Next day she said she floated above and there was ‘something’ on top of cabinet. Dad got chair and looked at top of cabinet and found a discarded hemostat. He knew about NDEs in the 1970s and I’ve known about them since I was a child bc if this true story. Wow.
Is he on the verge of tears ?
When someone submits an experience to iandz do they have to provide any supporting documentation of the event’s, like medical confirmation the medical event occurred, cause I love these nde accounts but I have to wonder which ones are verified, people do strange things for attention and some I have googled for confirmation but others I am just wondering, is there a vetting process other than what they say
Dr. Greyson was given an engraved invitation. Nice.
Sorry to be so picky but there’s so many mouth sounds that it’s difficult to focus on what he’s saying.
By this I recognise a most learned lord!
What you can’t feel lies miles abroad,
What you can’t grasp, you think, is done with too.
What you don’t count on can’t be true,
What you can’t weigh won’t weigh, of old,
What you don’t coin: that can’t be gold.
God could easily give us concrete proof of the existence of heaven-
—but then there would be no need for the existence of faith and I believe faith will always be the most important element of our brief lives here on earth. God could have created a perfect planet with no natural disasters and all perfect human beings who never make a bad decision–but he didn't. He gave us all free will and opportunities to exercise that free will —-the goal for all is to find unconditional love and to love one another. Because we humans are not perfect we make some poor choices and mistakes along the way of life, but God is forgiving if one only asks and tries his or her best to improve and learn to help others. Some of us have our lives cut short through no fault of our own--but with faith–find our way into heaven ahead of others. One just has to have faith and believe and just keep on trying to do the best of one's ability to care for and love one's neighbors.What makes me question is that non of the OBE experiencers spotted any object or sign given that they should be more aware and conscious. Also in Jeffery long own words he stated 4 % of nders encountered ppl alive at the time. If anyone can give me explanation to these two errors that I'm ready to become a believer right away.
Oh dear he got so emotional at 43:00! Bless you dr. greyson
I got impressed (sorry my English), very interesting all what the Dr. said. Know I believe God is pure cience, knowledgment and pure love. Very clear the explanations, why people make the matter so complicated?.
Dr Bruce Grayson is phenomenal!!!
i mostly see the duck
I have recently made a presentation to my 1961 Dartmouth classmates (YouTube = "Afterlife Presentation at Dartmouth"), and your book "After'" was so very helpful both in the presentation and the Q & A afterward. Also helpful was Dr. Jeffrey Long's book "Evidence of the Afterlife." as well as Bill and Judy Guggenheim's book "Hello from Heaven" regarding After-Death Comminications. I am now a true believer.
Wowww, what a Life changing Presentation! Thank you Dr. Greyson.
When my Mum was going to die, she saw her Mum and Dad and the Clock in the kitchen stopped.
I hope to see my most loved Mum again after my own Dead.
Love and Peace!
Dr. Greyson depth of pride reporting on the many aspects of NDE’s is palpable, l can totally understand the depth of this body of work. Reporting the findings from so many years of investigation at IANDS is a full circle moment. Investigating the afterlife is a beautiful awakening experience and have clearly lead to rich emotional life! Thank you for the beauty ❤️
TLDW: this guy spent his entire career trying to find scientific evidence of near death experiences. He has found really interesting testimonials. Also, he is on the verge of tears a lot.
