NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES OCCUR WHEN SOUL

LEAVES NERVOUS SYSTEM

A near-death experience occurs when quantum substances which form the soul leave the nervous
system and enter the universe at large, according to a ground-breaking theory proposed by two eminent
scientists.

According to this idea, consciousness is a programme for a quantum computer in the brain which can
persist in the universe even after death, explaining the perceptions of those who have near-death
experiences.

Dr Stuart Hameroff, Professor Emeritus at the Departments of Anesthesiology and Psychology and the
Director of the Centre of Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona, has advanced the quasi-
religious theory, the Daily Mail reported.

It is based on a quantum theory of consciousness he and British physicist Sir Roger Penrose have
developed which holds that the essence of our soul is contained inside structures called microtubules
within brain cells.

They have argued that our experience of consciousness is the result of quantum gravity effects in these
microtubules, a theory which they dubbed orchestrated objective reduction (Orch-OR).

Thus it is held that our souls are more than the interaction of neurons in the brain. They are in fact
constructed from the very fabric of the universe – and may have existed since the beginning of time.

The concept is similar to the Buddhist and Hindu belief that consciousness is an integral part of the
universe – and indeed that it is really all there may be, a position similar to Western philosophical
idealism, the paper said.
With these beliefs, Hameroff holds that in a near-death experience the microtubules lose their quantum
state, but the information within them is not destroyed. Instead it merely leaves the body and returns to
the cosmos.

“Let’s say the heart stops beating, the blood stops flowing, the microtubules lose their quantum state. The
quantum information within the microtubules is not destroyed, it can’t be destroyed, it just distributes and
dissipates to the universe at large,” Hameroff told the Science Channel’s Through the Wormhole
documentary.

“If the patient is resuscitated, revived, this quantum information can go back into the microtubules and the
patient says ‘I had a near death experience’,” Hameroff said.

“If they’re not revived, and the patient dies, it’s possible that this quantum information can exist outside
the body, perhaps indefinitely, as a soul,” Hameroff added.

Did the above article arouse your interest about Soul or  near-death experience?

The above article is another testimonial for the  authenticity/ genuineness of the knowledge  revealed  in
our Vedic scriptures. If you are serious/ curious about learning the vital truths about the fundamental
nature of the self and reality, you can read the books written by His Divine Grace  A. C. Bhaktivedanta
Swami Prabhupada, the spiritual master (acarya) of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness.

There is one such story about  near-death experience   in our Vedic Scriptures.

Thousands of years ago in India, the history concerning Ajamila and his near-death  experience was
related by the great spiritual master SukadevaGosvami to  his disciple King Pariksit. Their conversation is
recorded in the Sixth Canto of  the Sanskrit classic Srimad-Bhagavatam, renowned as the ripened fruit of
the  tree of India’s timeless Vedic literature. 

In 1975-76, in the course of translating the Srimad-Bhagavatam into English,  Srila Prabhupada translated
the story of Ajamila.
The history of Ajamila is dramatic, powerful, and engaging. And the sharp philosophical and metaphysical
debates that punctuate the action as Ajamila confronts the messengers of death and finds deliverance
are bound to excite the interest of those concerned with life’s deepest questions.

Watch these 2 videos in which the history of Ajamila is depicted.
