"Dying is actually good. What awaits us on the other end of the divide is as fascinating, and I would say, broadly speaking, more pleasurable than what we have here."
—Dr. Piero Calvi-Parisetti
Have you ever found yourself lying awake at night, pondering the great unknown that awaits us all—the afterlife? If so, you're not alone. Death is a universal experience, yet it's shrouded in mystery and often fear. But what if there was evidence that could shine a light on what happens when we pass from this world? Enter Dr. Piero Calvi-Parisetti, a man whose journey from skepticism to belief has led him to become an advocate for the scientific study of the afterlife.
In this episode of our podcast, Dr. Calvi-Parisetti takes us through his transformation from a Western-educated medical doctor to a passionate researcher of psychical research. His books, including "Step into the Light," offer solace to those grappling with the fear of death, providing a rational approach to the evidence of life beyond.
Dr. Calvi-Parisetti shares compelling stories, such as the migrant worker who, during a near-death experience, saw a red sneaker on a hospital ledge—a detail that was later confirmed by a nurse. Even more astounding is the account of Vicki, a blind woman who, upon having an NDE, described visions of the physical world she had never seen before.
But it's not just individual stories that make Dr. Calvi-Parisetti's case. He draws upon research from the Society for Psychical Research and the International Association for Near-Death Studies to paint a broader picture of the afterlife. He speaks of deathbed visions, where the dying are visited by loved ones who've passed on, and of the life review, where souls reflect on their earthly deeds.
The episode is not only an exploration of the afterlife but also a journey into understanding consciousness itself. Dr. Calvi-Parisetti suggests that, much like a radio tuning into different frequencies, our consciousness may continue to exist on a different plane even after our physical bodies cease to function.
For anyone who has feared death or grieved a lost loved one, this episode offers a message of hope. It suggests that love and consciousness are fundamental forces of nature, that they persist, and that in some form, we continue.
So, if you're ready to delve into one of life's most profound mysteries and perhaps find comfort in the possibility of an afterlife, listen to this episode. It's a conversation that may just change the way you think about life, death, and what comes after.
