On February 8, The avant -garde, one of the oldest print newspapers in Barcelona, Spain, published the article “Where Does Consciousness Go in a Clinically Dead Person? – We Are More Than Matter” By Josep Fita, both in its print and digital editions.

In this research, Dr. Natalia Sánchez shares insights from her Master’s studies in Cultural Astronomy, offering a unique perspective on how Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) influence the Cosmological Vision of both experiencers and researchers.

These professionals should let patients know they can safely and non-judgmentally discuss their experiences, especially if the professionals themselves have had an NDE. This helps patients normalize and understand these events without feeling they are losing their sanity.

With the inclusion of the Ramón y Cajal University Hospital in Madrid, the LUZ Project , closes 2024 with 14 hospitals officially linked to research on consciousness during cardiac arrest in Spanish-speaking hospitals.

Dr. Jim Tucker, the scientific successor to Dr. Ian Stevenson at the University of Virginia, has developed a “Strength of Case Scale” (SOCS) to systematically document and evaluate data reported by study subjects regarding reincarnation phenomena. This summary highlights the case of EBK

Learning more about life and death, as well as the world around us, was the central theme of the Soul, Body and Mind Forum held in Madrid 15, 16 and 17 November .

The ICLOBY Foundation participated alongside other experts from Mexico, Spain, Colombia, Peru, and Argentina in the 2nd Latin American Congress on Grief Relief and Acceptance of Death.
