Famous Cardiac Surgeon's Stories of Near Death Experiences in Surgery

[STEVONYMO]

So you are saying that you never make a mistake and need to say sorry to God, that is what I was saying. And I was actually supporting you in your arguement that Christianity is NOT the only way. I have read all these posts and think you are correct in what you are saying Sir. I myself am a Christian and believe in Jesus but I have had many Muslim friends over the years that were great people who would help anyone out. Enlightenment comes to anyone that seeks but many seek in different ways!

[STEVONYMO]

To hear this from people that are not selling books or anything else is just simply pure gold! This man is highly educated, no gain to be made and yet still tells what he saw and what he knows from his extensive medical training. You can tell he's nervous about what he experienced but just needs to tell it to people.

Dr Rudy has been down at the sharp end and seen it for himself...God bless him for all the lives he saves and having the courage to speak his mind!

[julior5003]

Amazing story

[umayavan]

cock sucker Alan, I believe in one god not christianity

[sanjaydhokia]

ok yes there is a god..

[WorldsJungleGym]

Makes ya wonder

[spirrisilver21]

a lot of accounts of people with NDE's being able to recall/see what family members were doing while they were brain dead?? Or see what was going on above their bodies? I don't care who you are, there is nothing you could say to me in a scientific way that would make enough sense to explain that. I just don't believe it. I don't believe in a god, but I believe that if this universe has taught us anything, it's that what seems true to us today, will be so very different tomorrow.

[AlanaPower111]

@spirrisilver21 Lol you believe in NDE but you dont believe in GOD? MOST people who have these NDE have experiences dealing with Jesus/GOD. My bestfriend is a muslim (shes orginally from pakistan) and she was pronoucned dead due to a ruptured anuersym. Well anyway she said when she took her last breath she instanly felt dark spirits and she felt like her soul was being BURNED but she said it wasnt usual earthly burns but much worse. She said she was in hell

[spirrisilver21]

@AlanaPower111 The key word in your comment was "most." Yes, most people see a god or spiritual entity in their NDE's, but not all. There have been many accounts as well of people having an NDE without seeing a god, or Jesus, etc... I met a woman who was raised Jewish, and in her 40s she died on an operating table and had an NDE, and there was nothing religious in her NDE whatsoever. I think it just has to do with who you are as a person, in terms of the experiences you have.

[AlanaPower111]

@spirrisilver21 How could there be a heaven or "afterlife" without God though? Think about it, It dosen't just exist....These NDE have taught me a few things.. 1. Buddhism, Hinduism, and Muslims are 100% wrong! Because these NDE and the after life go aginst what they believes happen when you die. 2. Christianity seems to be the real religion. 98% of people with NDE experience things that back up the whole christian belief including Heaven/JESUS,GOD or Hell.

[AlanaPower111]

@spirrisilver21 And keep in mind there have been Hindus, buddhist, muslims etc have NDE and convert to christianity. Never has a christian who had a NDE convet to any other religion. I use to be a skeptic but I am truly a 100% believer in GOD/Jesus Christ. The after life and your very soul dosent just exist by itself. It was all created.

[NE1081]

@AlanaPower111

If only Christianity were correct, then what happens to all the Non-Christians in the world? Note that all religions are man-made....God is eternal.

[AlanaPower111]

@NE1081 I understand what you're saying. But out of all the NDE i have heard of people talk about Jesus and GOD a lot. And that alone should let you know which religion is on the right tract. And jesus said the only way into heaven is through salvation and salvation dosent come through the church but through a relationship with Jesus. Do you just think everyone (including sinners) go to heaven? NO!

[AlanaPower111]

@NE1081 And every religion believes in the same GOD (except buddhist and hindus). Christianity is the worlds largest religion so MOST people do believe in GOD and Jesus. IDK what happens to people who never had access to learn about Jesus / GOD. IDK what happens to them...And try finding a CREDIBLE NDE dealing with someone seeing "allah" or "buddah" or "mohammed" lol ....good luck

[NE1081]

@AlanaPower111

HIndus have claimed that they saw Krishna and Buddhists have claimed that they saw Buddha. The emergence of these figures has more to do with your comfort zone than anything else.

[NE1081]

@AlanaPower111

Btw Hinduism believes in ONE GOD that has created all 7 Billion of us. If your God created you and my God created me, then neither of our Gods are all-powerful...cont'd

[NE1081]

@AlanaPower111

cont'd)-...as one God couldn't prevent the other from creating his followers. Hinduism believes that Earth is a SCHOOL and diff in religions/race/culture are to test one's "tolerance."

[AlanaPower111]

@NE1081 Well try finding a NDE from someone who saw any if the hindu lords. It has never happened. Not even Hindus have experienced these "gods" in NDE. A hindu women on here gave her story about her NDE and she didn't mention any hindu "god" but she did mention JESUS.And I never said Hell didn't exist. A athiest by the name of howard storm was pronounced dead and he said he went to hell. Go watch his story

[NE1081]

@AlanaPower111

I am a Hindu....and hindus have seen Krishna. Buddhists see Buddha. Hell does NOT exist. It is all a frame of mind (esp in Suicide victims). Go read books by noted doctors like Dr. Newton and Dr. Brian Weiss to enlighten yourself. Concepts of Hell and Eternal Damnation are manmade in order to gain more CONVERTS.

All 7 Billion of us were created by the same source(God) and that source is all loving, all forgiving.

1) watch?v=x81pXzBfLcs&feature=re­lated

2) watch?v=Gz6lviCLYx0

[AlanaPower111]

@NE1081 I have never seen a credible NDE from someone who have claim of seeing a Hindu "god" EVER! And Doctors have been studying this for years! How can you explain the overwhelming majority (90%) of those who haven NDE have claims of JESUS CHRIST or even HELL. Explain that. And My friend ..who was a muslim had a NDE and she said she was in hell. She isn't writing a book about it but she shared with me her experience and how it made her love Jesus Christ.

[NE1081]

@AlanaPower111

If Christ is the sole path, then what happens to 5.6 BILLION Non-Christians?We all go to hell? And what happened to 100s of MILLIONS of people who lived prior to the advent of Judaism/Christianity? Hinduism believes that we are all here to learn lessons...and we reincarnate into any gender, race, culture, political boundary and even religion. These differences are here on Earth to test our TOLERANCE. You are no different than someone claiming that 1 race is superior to others

[AlanaPower111]

@NE1081 Lol Jesus was the son of God. God is like 3 in one. The father, the son and the holy spirit. Jesus was like God in the flesh, but he still prayed to the other parts of God(the father and holy spirit). And the first religion taught about God and Jesus. Jesus said the only way to the kingdom (heaven) is through him. if you don't have salvation and if you dont believe Jesus died on the cross for our sins then you go to hell..I dont mean to sounds rude but its the truth

[NE1081]

@AlanaPower111

Btw we Hindus do NOT believe in a Hell. For us, the real Hell (Hell being the most difficult physical, mental and emotional realm in all dimensions) is here, on the planet Earth. Therefore I am already in Hell....and so are you!

[AlanaPower111]

@NE1081 Oh ok. Well at the end of the day you will believe what you want and so will I...

Have a blessed day

[NE1081]

@AlanaPower111

I wish you the same:)

[AlanaPower111]

@NE1081 And you still arent answering the fact that the overwhelming majority(90%) of those who have NDE experience Jesus Christ during the NDE. And some people experienced hell. Go look up Robert Storms story on youtube. And since you dont believe people go to hell. What do you suppose happens to Atheist who slander the name of God, Or murderers, theifs etc. For you to think we will all just go to heaven no matter how we live is absolutley absurd......

[NE1081]

@AlanaPower111

Most NDEs are DOCUMENTED in the West. That doesn't mean that NDEs only happen in the West!

- Note, I NEVER said that Jesus wasn't crucified. I said that there are many different paths to achieving enlightenment. More importantly, understand that the Bible is NOT the direct word of Jesus as there are many Gospels and the Church clergy picked but a few(that they benefitted from). Even Constantine converted into Christianity only on his death bed(in order to save the Roman Empire)

[STEVONYMO]

@NE1081 As long as you believe in your soul and are a good person then you have NOTHING to worry about. It doesn't matter what name you give God, you don't have to be a Bible basher, instead quietly go about your business but be mindful of people and the way to treat people and always feel God in your heart!

He has many names but only 1 way...You already know the way, as we all do...But also everyone slips up now and again. Don't beat yourself up, just say sorry and try harder!

[NE1081]

@STEVONYMO

I have absolutely no reason to apologize to anyone. That other person was claiming that Bible is the only true way and I was just letting her know that that can't possibly be true given that there are around 4.8 Billion Non-Christians in the world (not to forget that Christianity is only 2 thousand yrs young whereas human species is 100s of 1000s of yrs old). Note, if u want to get involved in our debate, then kindly read our discussion in its ENTIRETY, before posting your comments.

[AlanaPower111]

@NE1081 I dont mean to be rude but dont ignore the facts. Jesus is talked about in the overwhelming majority of NDE even including people of all other religions. For you to think everyone goes to heaven is unreal..Murders, sinners, theifs...

And buddhist dont believe in God at all. Buddah isnt a god but more of a "prophet". They believe in reincarnation

[NE1081]

@AlanaPower111

I never said that Buddhists believe in God. Buddhists are in fact Agnostics (or better, yet wholly indifferent of God). Btw, Jesus was a messenger of God and not God himself. Buddha was a great teacher who neither accepted nor rejected the concept of a God. Hinduism believes that ultimately there is ONE source(God) and all 7 Billion people are his children. Hinduism therefore doesn't have conversions, nor does it reject any "path"(religion).

[spirrisilver21]

My biggest thing with scientists trying to give explanations for what causes an NDE is 1) Scientists still have MUCH to learn about the brain, things they say they "know" now could change in 5, 10 years 2) They say you are "hallucinating" which is pretty dumb explanation because PLENTY of people have had NDE's w/o the influence of medical drugs etc..beside NDE's are completely different from hallucinations 3) If these NDE's are so fake and just brain functions then why is it that there have been

[gwm54]

this is ok as far as it goes but over half of it is about the circumstances leading up to the relating of the nde. i'd rather most of the 12 minutes or so be taken up with the nde itself as i'm not interested in the medical background.

[esc807]

It's very difficult to have an intelligent discussion unless both parties are willing to seek the truth. If I look at all the evidence displayed through NDE's, this doctor's exp. as witnessed, and promises made by Jesus Christ himself, I must see that truth lies in an afterlife as opposed to there being no afterlife. The truth is in front of everyone to see.

[bbigffish]

He makes me smile ,he is so animated and Happy you can't help but smile ,Thank You Dr.Rudy for being YOU!!!

[soldatheero]

About these phenomenon.. the sole reason people think these things are completely impossible is because they are materialist and no nothing other than materialism. If you think these things are impossible than you should study some philosophy, most importantly Idealism. Since these occurances are validing Idealism and falsifying materialism.

[soldatheero]

@atheistshaker Exactly. Atheists and Christains alike that claim these phenomenon are "against" the bible are just dogmatic non-thinkers which gobble up what the church tells them. The words of Jesus are not snyonymous with the words of the church. The devil and hell are IMO out the window and it is interesting that the early catholics believed in reincarnation.

[mariesadler]

I bet a lot of doctors (especially er physicians) hear stories about this from their patients.

[qxy333]

Firstly, I'm not a Christian.

If this is true, that our awareness leaves the body after death, it goes against any Christian theology. Christians are supposed to believe that when you die, you rest unconscious and wait for the second coming. I don't believe this is a Christian religious propaganda clip.

[SubwayRatt]

@qxy333 i dont find it to be a christian propaganda either. but its obvious that christians especially in the united states have twisted the true meaning of christian belief. the eveangelicals try to control the government and covert people claiming that you have to be "saved" or you wont get to heaven. they never talk about having to wait for the second coming to go to heaven. heaven or hell, thats your only 2 options.they have also twisted the abortion issue. the bible never mentions abortions

[back2backband1]

"Woa to those who lay a hand on my little ones"

[AtheistShaker]

@qxy333 "it goes against any Christian theology."

Incorrect not ANY Christian theology, It goes against some of the many false doctrines of Christianity, it does not go against the word of God

2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

[AlanaPower111]

@qxy333 Thats not true. Christians believe when you die you go to heaven. You dont wait in the grave. You are confusing religions

[djancak]

great, just what we need: more quack 'doctors' promoting more mystical mumbo jumbo to the ignorant masses. i doubt these assholes even believe what they're insinuating and asserting in this video. the brain is a very complex organ that has trillions of circuits and chemical reactions occurring all the time, which means it has an insane number of ways it can exhibit 'anomalous' behaviors that you may find fascinating, but in reality it's just another pile of crap like most every other thought.

[bunflinger]

@djancak A very insulting and stupid comment. Lloyd Rudy was a pioneering heart surgeon, not some 'quack' as you so stupidly put it. When the heart stops pumping, the brain stops working (after 30 seconds max). The man refered to was effectively dead for twenty minutes so no experience should have been possible, let alone accurately observing his surroundings and what the doctors were doing.

You obviously don't know anything about NDE research.

[djancak]

@bunflinger And another pile of crap presents itself in this sad, sad world. Being a 'pioneering heart surgeon' doesn't make you honest or even knowledgeable outside of your field. Brain cells are some of the first cells to go when you are dead, which means that your brain massively rewires itself when brought back into consciousness, along with large changes in neurotransmitter levels, which creates a unique "experience" that person goes through but in reality it's just brain mush you dumbass.

[bunflinger]

@djancak You are too stupid and ignorant to debate with. An absolute moron. I never heard such a load of rubbish. It's so laughable it's not worth responding to. What on earth are you on. That's not a question, by the way.

[djancak]

@bunflinger Never open your yap on a topic you express such utter ignorance again and you won't have to be so embarrassed. From what I've seen of you you're probably also a religious creationist nut who takes homeopathic remedies and rubs a lucky rabbit foot. You're a gullible moron who believes liars and propagates psuedo-science to other people who are susceptible to nonsense and for that you should be ashamed, but I've seen enough of your ilk to know that your psychosis prevents any sincerity

[NYredwhiteandblue]

@djancak so you only believe in FDA approved medicines... I am saddened when I see people so entrenched in beliefs and brainwashed by the matrix... We are all here to learn, some are at a higher level some lower but the destination is the same... We will all know the truth one day. "yes the brain is complex but how do you explain all the accounts of people seeing and hearing things when they were dead. Blind people seeing for the first time, Pam Reynolds describing her dr's tools. an

[djancak]

@NYredwhiteandblue first you make a completely non-sequitur assertion about 'what i believe'.you then assert that ive been "brainwashed by the matrix" that is completely meaningless.You continue with yet another meaningless infactual statement that 'we will all know the truth one day'.A person who is as incapable as you are of making statements that have any solid meaning to them is without any credential to make the silly assertions that you make and believe from psuedoscience liars and retards

[Sam10947]

@bunflinger

of course he wouldn't be a twat if he came with some proof that support atheists mental rash...fuck the arrogants, right buddy

[bunflinger]

@Sam10947 Well. all I want to say is that the sceptics are in for a big surprise. No one who looked into this phenomenon was expecting to find anything unexplainable . but all the researchers that have actually carried out proper studies are certain that something non materialistic is going on.

[djancak]

@Sam10947 no 'proof' has been presented. show me this proof. people talking about something being real in an NDE is not 'proof' of anything outside of evidence that strange thoughts occur when your brain has been deteriorating, and that people are prone to interpreting this in a mystical/religious way. your assertions that "the truth is there" and that I should "seek [the truth]" and "not get afraid of it" are entirely worthless in an actual argument. Why are you afraid of debating the facts?

[Sam10947]

@djancak

when an atheist who had nothing to do with religion and who doesn't know the figures in the religon, describes that stuff, by logical deduction u have to take that possibility into consideration. If the statistical studies carried by a plurality of doctors leads to conclusion of such nature, then u have to consider it, not because that science can't explain on its own term it makes untrue. U R the ONE who trying to dismiss the fact in lights of the observation. contune

[Sam10947]

@djancak

Do u know how theories are carried.Well u start from observations,and u make experiments spanning all the possible explanations,and then u prove by contradiction or statistical confidence interval.Now, if u'r rational thinkking person,u would see that NDE really proves that there is something outthere but u r closed minded.How is somebody know about past events that had no bearing relation to them, how is somebody that is blind sees and describes,he he,unlock that brain then let's talk

[Sam10947]

@djancak

u only refute without proposing any arguments as to why such assertion couldn't be true...u'r the one who has been arguing from incredulity. Present ur argument as to why such interpretation aren't valid. if u retreat to neurobiology make sure u present ur proof, but neuroscience has only speculation, whereas in the otherside u have statistics, ppl concerned, reports. So u can guess who's the ignorrant

[djancak]

@Sam10947 Funny how you think you're in a position to lecture me on "how theories are carried" when you assert that hearsay is a valid thing to use in "logical deduction" on such a mutable topic. You also point to (non-existent) statistical studies that show that NDEs indicate the existence of an afterlife and assert (again) that science itself can't explain it when it *has* been explained to you already very clearly despite your continuing denial of what's plainly visible here in the comments.

[djancak]

@Sam10947 You also continue to demean all the work done by actual brain scientists in the field of neuroscience by asserting that "[they] only have speculation" and that only your crazy NDE cult has the actual data and then implying that the neuroscientists are ignorant. You and your ilk need to shut your yaps about topics that you have no clue about and especially shut it if you're going to slander people who do the actual work as you misinform everybody else into believing and doing the same.

[Sam10947]

@djancak

i demean those who despite of having clearly not explained the phenomena, they throw non-sense explanation despite of the available facts that contradict them. In science, if u are braindead for mroe than 15 minutes u are practically dead, let alone coming back to life after few hours and reporting events that were not in ur reach. talking about the most dispicable type of ignorrance to men. No wonder why even agnostics dislike atheists

[djancak]

@Sam10947 "i demean those who despite of having clearly not explained the phenomena" So you mean to say you demean yourself and other NDE cultists as you are the ones who think that NDE indicates the possibility of an afterlife with absolutely no explanation other than "they said so". Pathetic that you can't even see this direct contradiction in your own assertions. Then you continue to babble the same old already-refuted rhetoric. THAT is "the most dispicable type of ignorance to men".

[Sam10947]

@djancak

he he, again, u fail to acknoweldge my argument, there no contradiction, u only assert there is. u said " NDE indicates the possibility of an afterlife with absolutely no explanation other than "they said so"", one i didn't say that NDE is automatically an afterlife, two NDE may or may not be an afterlife, it could be simply a spiritual realm, third, there are plenty of evidence varying from doctor's finding to seperate investigations made by ppl, look for books on this subject.contn

[Sam10947]

@djancak

Fourth, the fact there are unseen entities reported by thousands of ppl throughout cultures throughout history, is another inclination to consider the idea. Furthremore, who r u to dismiss ppl accounts when they express their liegitimacy, who the fuck told u u r special to witness what they witnessed, maybe this phenomena is puposefully selective, who the fuck are u to claim science when u don't freaking know how it works, let's hear ur qualification, what's ur scientific background

[djancak]

@Sam10947 Blocked. Bye bye.

[Sam10947]

@djancak

u fail...to address the argument. hence ur argument is frivolous

[back2backband1]

@Sam10947 i have seen a ghost for the time in my 43 years, my dog seen her too, a middle aged woman standing in my doorway, freaked me out, i also have footage and head her couph year before, now i know fo sure there is life after death!

[Sam10947]

@djancak

Scientific finding, is a collection of dicovered phenomenon that is put under statistical tests to prove the correctness of such finding, the finding then goes into peer review, then reconducted on different settings bu different ppl, the scientific community then decides wether to accpt it or not. i don't think that NDE would get to the last phase, because the world is too fucked to acknowledge a spritual realm...there are plenty of statistical finding, do ur research or order a book

[Sam10947]

@djancak

again there u go, u only assert that there are no scientific finding...do u r research, i don't give a fuck about convincing anybody. u ought to urself to search if u wanna know something, a knwoledge is to be deserved. u think i'll provide u with anything..i don't give a fuck. it's ur fallacies that i'm responding to.

[djancak]

@Sam10947 You're not responding to *any* fallacies, unless you're responding to yourself (with more fallacies). I can see that you've resorted to the ~I'm just going to continue asserting my position as true until the other person gives up~ method of arguing. You've already been crushed in this debate and you've failed to make a cogent point all while trying to veil your ignorance with a few science-related words. Not surprising though since that's the most common tactic used by psuedoscientists

[Sam10947]

@djancak

he he, this proves the superficiality of ur position and how u handle argument. I didn't know that somebody gets crushed by mere unfounded assertions. Real Science takes in consideration all aspects, nto just those that suits their agenda...so byt eh available facts and observations u have, u r obliged to uphold the highest scientific methodologies including those interpretations that conform to the observed facts...not bias and bandfilter explanation just because it's unprecedented

[Sam10947]

@djancak

i read ur comments again, total garbage from incredulity. Refute this doctor....instead of whining

[enemay]

@djancak Maybe you just hate your existence right now that you would wish it were to simply end when we die. I think the only pile of crap here is how you would make such rude comments about people you absolutely dont know.

[djancak]

@enemay maybe you're just incapable of engaging in actual arguments instead of speculating with ignorant opinions on my psychology in yet another pathetic attempt to cling on to your fantasy land delusions. it's ironic how you made such a rude comment on here about a person you absolutely don't know.

[Sam10947]

@djancak

it is only fanatasy to u...not tot he ppl who witnessed it. When there is an epidemic that is contagious, complaints are appearing, do u tell the patients that u r fantasizing? no u take their concern and u try to see what is this epidemic. Think and don't appeal to the arrogants and ignorrants

[djancak]

@Sam10947 Wow, what you said makes absolutely no sense and does nothing to make your position any more valid at all. And then you tell ME to "think and don't appeal to the arrogants and ignorrants". Great job.

[Sam10947]

@djancak

"Wow....", here is another attempt by u to dismiss what i said without adrressing every point..u do not know how to argue,u answer from incredulity. not only that u fail to see the non-sense in ur position, as far as im' concerned atheists make as much of a leap as the hardcore theists from an argument perspective. That's why i refuse to buy into that shit "atheism is the default position it is not, my rational does not allow me, it would an insult to my intelligence.

[DStrike0083]

@djancak indeed. One of the world's best cardiologists is a quack.

[AnduinX]

@djancak: "the brain is a very complex organ that has trillions of circuits and chemical reactions occurring all the time, which means it has an insane number of ways it can exhibit 'anomalous' behaviors" This is called promissory materialism. What materialists can't explain is either dismissed or categorized as a mystery "to be solved before materialism is proven correct." It's a faith-based position and can be used to deny any amount of conflicting evidence.

[AnduinX]

@djancak: I would like for you to tell me how ‘anomalous’ behavior can explain the kind of accurate veridical perception described in this video, and many others. How can the brain produce accurate information that it could not have been able to perceive even if it were aware. This is not reducible to an anomaly. It is a giant gaping hole in the model.

[AnduinX]

@djancak: While your at it, why don’t you explain the existence of group/shared NDEs in case studies, terminal lucidity involving severe brain damage, brainless organisms demonstrating learning capacity and complex behavior, severe hydrocephalus, and blind people who cannot process sight or images being able to see during NDEs and OBEs. Note that this occurs in all forms of blindness, including in those who are congenitally blind and do not even have vision when they dream.

[sweeetly]

Great talk. It also reminds me that its only when you give it up that the greater force can take over.

[Mursilia]

I strongly believe that consciousness is the key for the question ''is there life after death?''

I believe that the ''soul'' or ''spirit'' is consciousness, that isn't a byproduct of our brain.

[mobiledui]

If you people cant find information about this doctor online its because you dont know how to spell Lloyd......or you are just a complete incompetent person. All you gotta do is type his name in google and you get all sorts of inforamtion on the guy and what he has done. Id say that he is credible. MAkes me feel good inside. I cant wait to get to heaven and see my loved ones!

[steve998]

Is it me, or is the good doc slurring his words?

[MrBuddickman]

This guy seems very credible. Thanks for posting.

[privatepersonalc]

I want some of what this doctor had!

[privatepersonalc]

with all the negligence, did anyone sue? LOL!

[JOMO59]

Another of a long list of great great near death videos from credible professionals. I have been studying this topic for about 25 years. And it is awesome. Man is on a road to enlightenment and has for now defined the supernatural as God, Heaven, Spirits etc. Right now I see it as consciousness and frequency but I also believe that there is a "being" or center to all this energy, frequency, consciousness from which all of it emanates. Today we call it God, soon we will just know that it IS.

[Flerg3]

@JOMO59 great comment my friend.

[Raina430]

Can find almost nothing on the web about this " famous pioneering cardiologist". Is that really possible in this day &age? Is this real? I would love to believe it.

[bunflinger]

@Raina430 Lloyd Rudy made a major contribution to heart surgery. Yes it's for real. Will statements like this make any difference to the psuedo sceptics. No.

[Raina430]

@bunflinger :) THANKS. I'm not a sceptic though. I actually have always believed in NDE's and a lot of other things, but when someone questioned who he was, I looked online and couldn't find a website, or anything about him except his name mentioned as a surgeon, but no particulars, not even that he was a cardiac specialist. So, if you know this man is real, then GREAT! thanks. I always like to check out everything with experience and real world backup. Great, inspirational video.

[bunflinger]

@Raina430 No worries. He is retired now, Raina.  For me, this is so simple. He clearly isn't inventing this story and there is no way he would want to fool himself. So as astonishing as it appears to be, there is something in a human being that will not die and can leave the body. Sceptics don't want to hear that. For some strange reason they prefer that death is the end. Weirdo's they are. All this evidence and still you hear them trill....where's the evidence, this is not evidence !!!!

[Raina430]

@bunflinger He's retired, makes sense. Yep! I agree! in the face of evidence a lot of people refuse to consider this....I don't really understand it either. I can only imagine that it must somehow be threatening to their whole belief system. I have however, seen total sceptics become believers. On the Anderson show recently John Edward was reading for him, when John turned to the camermen and began reading them! Both were total skeptics, but after that, they changed! So, there is hope!

[bunflinger]

@Raina430 Yes, there is hope. Thank goodness for people like you, Raina.

[Raina430]

@bunflinger You too!! :):):):)

This video was part of London ISKCON Sunday (11062011 3 PM to 6 PM)Bhagavat gita teaching on sprit soul and body can Thanks to the prabhuji for the great class.

TRANSLATION As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. A self-realized soul is not bewildered by such a change.

[TKgeniusHELLTX]

As I watched the video andread the comments of those possibly accusing me of being a religious zealot. I couldn't help but wonder about the credibility all of you think this man is. Anyone could have put on a suit and said they're The Doctor Who. I would love to believe everything this man said was true, however without physical evidence or any evidence whatsoever of an event, I will remain skeptical.

I do not believe in a god, nor an afterlife. Yet I believe in love, happiness and life.

[JoEEll2233]

@TKgeniusHELLTX I've heard about Darwin - but that is only heresay so he has no credibility.

[TKgeniusHELLTX]

@JoEEll2233 So now you wish to turn this into a debate upon people in history. Okay, I'll dance, I've heard about Jesus Christ, but that is only heresay, so he has no credibility.

[telemetry9]

"religion is for people who are afraid to go to hell but spirituality is for those who have already been there."

God is love and Jesus Christ died for us.

Remember that it was the religious zealots who sought Jesus destruction the most.

Think how children hope and yearn for love in their lives. Don't turn your back on God. Don't be fooled by the vain and the seflish.

[cularos]

@telemetry9 what is your explanation; how did the patient see all those things happening?

[bunflinger]

There are three possibilities here. The Doctor is lying or mistaken. The patient was accidentally briefed on what went on. The sceptics are wrong and dualism is correct. Any sceptics out there would you care to still place your bets on materialism ?

[MrArtist1971]

This guy seriously finds an after death view of the room more interesting then the light and the other side??? Whatever.

[rephaim23]

@MrArtist1971

I think his point was, the Dr. was shocked that the patient could see what he had been doing and could describe the room and details perfectly when he was clinically dead for 20 minutes even recall the post it notes the doctor had been given for other patients.

[STEVONYMO]

Thousands and thousands of these cases! By pure law of statistics not everyone can be telling lies or be drug induced. You either believe or you don't and the simple fact is that come "your time" you will find out it was all true but my friends its too late.

What does faith cost you? Neither time nor money so I implore you give it a shot and join us in the light, rather than live inthe dark and go to the dark afterwards!

[phpeni]

@STEVONYMO that's pascals wager...

[WeTheStrange]

@STEVONYMO You aren't speaking as a Christian are you??

[AddisonBrooke]

I am very interested in this topic. I just wonder why this doctor talks like he's drunk.

[Sereena111]

There will always be things in life that science cannot measure nor understand. Science is one of many tools of the Source, but it is not the Source, there is an enormous difference. Its wonderful that this doctor came forward and spoke about this. I'm sure there are alot of others that would like to, but are probably concerned about being ridiculed in some way. Very interesting interview.

[LOVEONEANOTHR]

I bet you never feel alone now in the operating room! And I bet you talk to your patients guardian angels now every time! God Bless!

[LittleWolf1971]

thank youx

[hudfadz]

Where are all the atheists now saying "this is a hoax" or "the brain was still functioning and remembering". There is absolutely nothing an atheist can say to this. I find this really fascinating, I once had an weird experience when I seen something float across my room, that was it for me, I was never the same after that.

[SeltsamerAttraktor]

@hudfadz Yeah, bring on the testimony of the other people somewhat involved in this operation, and see if they match, including the testimony of the nurse hanging around in the corridor and seeing the doctors walking in and out. See if this timespan of 20min is something everybody can remember. Bring on the recordings of the instruments, etc. And then we can talk about further investigation. Like recording every such operation with a camera to get hard evidence in the next case.

[hudfadz]

@SeltsamerAttraktor

Yeah, likewise. Bring on everything you just asked to bring on, in regards to Evolution buddy.

[SeltsamerAttraktor]

@hudfadz (Contrary to what your preachers want you to believe,) Evolution is the one scientific theory with the most evidence in support for it.Not even gravity comes close.Move your lazy butt and read it up. Closing your eyes and shouting lalalala is only making a fool of yourself.

Near death experience on the the other hand are completely different.Except from personal testimony,what else is there to support it?Huh?You do know that testimony is the lowest form of evidence in court, don't you?

[cularos]

@SeltsamerAttraktor what kind of court are you talking about :DDD ?!

[blackhand1818]

Nice video, thanks for sharing.

[TheMillyVanilly]

Thank you so much for sharing this, this really made my day :)

[TheSurvivalIndex]

This is an extraordinary account. There are others like it and there will be many more in the future. Hopefully there will be documentation of the timeline available. The skeptical arguments are becoming more unlikely than the survival hypothesis.

[HDvids101]

Anyone who has doubts about survival or continuation of consciousness and is truly looking for answers then it isn't too hard to find many many many accounts on the Internet which make it nearly impossible to say these experiences are not real by your logic . For confirmation you need to personally experience this for yourself which is possible without an NDE.  William Buhlman , Robert Monroe ,Robert Bruce for a few and then there's twcjr44 's youtube channel :-)

[AnduinX]

Really, there are so many accounts like these, there's little question as to the reality of these experiences. Combine this evidence with terminal lucidity, where patients with sever brain damage who can't even remember the names and faces of family members, or hold a conversation suddenly become lucid and able to remember and converse as they approach death, and it's a solid case for consciousness beyond the constraints of the brain.

[dsindc]

@AnduinX I agree. You have probably heard of the case of Pamela Reynolds. You can youtube her name, and access a portion of a BBC special. Her case is particularly well known, and documented. The neurologist involved was Robert Spetzler. It's amazing to see skeptics argue - some with a Ph.D. level education, or M.D.'s, struggling to rationalize these experiences away. I find some of their explanations much more paranormal than an acceptance and out of body experience- with all its implications.

[93hamm]

Yes, it's a wonderful case, not least because it is coming from such an eminent source. But there are a lot of others ( veridical cases) like it and the sceptics will put their shields up in the traditional manner. Oh, well, every silver lining has a cloud around it.

[aerycksmusic]

Healer meet healer. :) Wonderful!

[DHRSoulTravel]

Thanks for sharing and having the courage to step forward in the scientific world. I hope other doctors and scientists will follow. Cardiologist Pim van Lommel did, and now Dr.Lloyd Rudy does. There's more than meets the eye.

[maha77]

a great website with a collection of 2000+ near death experiences is NDERF org, a good place to start reading is under 'current NDE' (NDERF link on my youtube page)

[62ibp]

Thanks for posting this. As a parent who lost a young child, I find comfort hearing about NDEs, OBES and afterlife. I was wondering if you can track down the 2 NDERs and ask them to tell their story in their own words. Dr Van Lommel, a cardiologist, has written a book supporting his belief that consciousness survives death. Also read Dr Jeff Long's book, Evidence of Afterlife, and visit his website for library of NDEs. Please do more of these and thank Dr Rudy for sharing this with us.

[dsindc]

Great video. This is very similar to the case of Pamela Reynolds. You can type several videos concerning her case on youtube. She was undergoing neurosurgery-the neurosurgeon was a Dr. Spetzler on staff at a Phoenix hospital. Pam's experience was the subject of a BBC program. I think the implication of this is that consciousness continues outside the body. Any other explanation really requires a much bigger leap of faith.
