in this episode of the podcastwe are soul, hosted by Perla Acorn, Dra. Lujan Comas and Dr.. Xavier Melo—founders of the ICLOBY Foundation and the Light Project—talk about their career studying near-death experiences (NDE) and present their bookLife beyond life.
Xavier Melo opens the conversation by sharing his own NDE, lived at 23 years after a traffic accident: exit from the body, the encounter with a light and a sensation of unconditional love that, as described, completely changed his way of understanding life and death. From that experience, founded ICLOBY to advance scientific research into consciousness, a field that—they both say—has gone from being taboo a long time ago. 20 years to count today with the collaboration of 19 hospitals and more 100 researchers studying cases of consciousness during cardiac arrest.
Throughout the talk, The guests review some of the testimonies collected in the book—such as that of the neurosurgeon Eben Alexander or that of Jeff Olsen—and reflect on the paradigm shift that the relationship between science and spirituality is undergoing today., the role of the ego, the loss of the fear of death and the importance of living with awareness and gratitude. They close the conversation with a shared message: love and learning are, for both, the true meaning of human experience.
