During the interview, the doctors presented their workLife beyond life, published by the publisherCairo, an anthology that brings together the testimonies and reflections of prominent international researchers such asRaymond Moody, Pim van Lommel, Bruce Greyson, Jeff Olsen andEmilio Carrillo, among others.

“Twenty years ago, when I wanted to research near-death experiences, They told me I was crazy. Hoy, Hospitals want to study these phenomena with scientific rigor. “Something has changed profoundly in society.”, points out Dr.. Xavier Melo.
They both agree that we are living aera of synthesis, where Eastern wisdom and Western science begin to meet on common ground: the study of consciousness. “Eastern thought has brought a broader view of life and death”, Luján pointed out, “and thanks to that openness today we can talk about the soul and the transcendent with respect and foundation”.

“Pain is inevitable,” says Luján., but suffering is optional. Knowing that life goes on helps us live with more love, conscience and serenity.
