This study by Michael Pascal provides a deeper understanding of Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) by comparing them with psychedelic-induced experiences. While both share certain phenomenological features, the research identifies key differences that help distinguish NDEs from experiences associated with substances such as DMT.

On February 6, with a full audience at the Comú d’Escaldes-Engordany Assembly Hall, Andorra welcomed Dr. Luján Comas and Dr. Xavier Melo to speak about Near-Death Experiences (NDEs). The event, organized by the Associació Marc GG—a mutual support group for parents who have lost a child—reflected the growing interest in understanding life, death, and the continuity of consciousness.

Science and philosophy came together at FITUR to explore the mystery of death and the continuity of consciousness through the launch of the documentary Searching for the Light. The production presents years of research led by the ICLOBY Foundation and invites reflection not on death itself, but on how we can live when we are free from the fear of dying.

After enduring pain, loneliness, and a deep sense of abandonment, she accepted that her body could no longer continue. She let go, said goodbye, and surrendered to death while in a coma. What she experienced afterward transformed her life and gave her a clear purpose: to share her story and help others understand the value of living fully.

A life-changing accident, a permanent disability, a profound near-death experience, and a future suddenly interrupted define the story of Xavier Ruy de Juan. After facing these challenges, his conclusion is clear: life extends beyond death, and the awareness of life’s fragility becomes an invitation to live with purpose and gratitude.

The number of hospitals joining the LUZ Project continues to grow. So far this year, two new institutions have been incorporated. In this edition, we are pleased to welcome Hospital Pablo Tobón Uribe in Medellín, Colombia, strengthening the international scope of the ICLOBY Foundation’s research.

Increasingly and with greater frequency, scientists are questioning the relationship between Consciousness and the Brain, and within this discussion there is a common denominator: the materialist approach of science to the subject.

After two sold-out editions, the book Life Beyond Life continues to gain strong positioning, so much so that a new edition—the third—has now been released.

The ICLOBY Foundation resumes its meeting spaces for the training, education, and dissemination of Project LUZ in 2026.
