Near Death Experiences and Remote Viewing:
Evidence That Our Minds Are Biologically Linked to the Universe
Abstract:
I am a Pediatrician who has studied the near death experiences of children for 20 years. I will present scientific evidence strongly suggesting that these experiences are "real" in the sense that they are as real as any other human perception. All human perceptions involve sensory organs receiving and processing energetic patterns of information resulting in the brain creating "reality". I will present a scientific analysis of near death experiences suggesting that they are the result of our right temporal lobes receiving and processing energetic information from "non-local" reality and as such are no different from any other human experience.
I will present a new hypothesis of brain function which involves an exchange of energetic information with the universe. This new theory explains previously ignored or dismissed human experiences such as remote viewing, past life memories, after death communications, premonitions of future events, and a wide variety of other so-called paranormal experiences. Most of these experiences have solid anecdotal and/or scientific evidence supporting their existence, but they are dismissed or trivialized because they do not fit the current scientific paradigm. At the very least, an understanding of remote viewing can explain one of the great mysteries of the near death experience, which is how a comatose patient who cannot receive ordinary sensory input can accurately describe their own resuscitation and report visual experiences during the time they are nearly dead.
Bio
Melvin L. Morse is consistently voted by his fellow pediatricians as being one of America's top Pediatricians. From 1997-2004, he has been identified by Woodword-White's Best Doctors in America as one of the top pediatricians in the country. He has a busy private practice in the suburbs of Seattle, Washington, USA.
Dr. Morse has researched near death experiences in children and adults for over 15 years. He is divorced and is a single dad for Cody (12) and Michaela (10). His strength in understanding spiritual visions and near death experiences is based on his full time practice of Pediatrics and that he remains completely grounded in the non-spiritual aspects of daily patient care.
His interest in near death experiences evolved from his experiences working in Critical Care Medicine at Seattle Children's Hospital; he published the first description of a child's near death experience in the medical literature and was funded by the National Cancer Institute to complete the first case control prospective study in near death experiences. He was the head of the Seattle Study, the largest study in adults of the transformational aspects of the near death experience to date.
Dr. Morse graduated with academic honors from George Washington University School of Medicine. He interned in the Pediatrics at the University of California at San Francisco and then completed a residency in Pediatrics at Seattle Children's Hospital. He is the recipient of a National Service Research Award and spent two years studying brain rumors and leukemia, also at Seattle Children’s Hospital.
He divides his time between his private practice of medicine and his teaching responsibilities. He is a Clinical Associate Professor of Pediatrics at University of Washington, and developed the Pediatric teaching program for the Family Practice residency program at Valley General Hospital. He has won numerous teaching awards. Dr. Morse was a founder of the Pediatric Interim Care Center, one of the nation’s first therapeutic foster homes for infants affected by prenatal exposure to cocaine.
Dr. Morse's research has been featured in documentaries in Japan, Australia, France, Canada, England, and the United States. He has appeared on numerous television and radio shows, including 20/20, The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Turning Point, The Tom Snyder Show, the Larry King Show, Good Morning America, Dateline, and Unsolved Mysteries, and has been the subject of lengthy profiles in the Seattle Times, Tacoma News Tribune, and the Los Angeles Times. He has numerous scientific publications on death-related visions, including The Lancet and the American Medical Association’s Pediatric Journal.
Morse's first book, Closer to the Light, was an international best seller and is published in 38 countries and 19 languages. It explored the near death experiences of children. His best-selling second book, Transformed by the Light, is a long term follow up of these children as adults, and documents the physical and psychological transformations resulting from near death experiences. His third book, Parting Visions, documents the entire range of spiritual visions associated with death and dying, including premonitions of death and after death visitations. It focuses on how we can use these experiences to help us to understand death, grief, and the often overlooked spiritual miracles in everyday life. His fourth book Where God Lives presents a comprehensive new scientific understanding of how the brain can resonate with energetic patterns of the universe to permit communications with the dead, viewing at a distance with the mind, past life memories and premonitions of the future.
