When light is stagnant or blocked there is pain and trauma.

Today’s Star is Jeffrey Long, M.D.

Is there life after death? Radiation oncologist Dr. Jeffrey Long argues that if you look at the scientific evidence, the answer is unequivocally yes.

About the Guest Jeffrey Long, M.D.

Jeffrey Long, M.D. is a leading near-death experience (NDE) researcher. Dr. Long founded the Near Death Experience Research Foundation (www.nderf.org). Over 15 years of research went into Dr. Long’s study of over 4000 near-death experiences presented in his current book God and the Afterlife: The Groundbreaking New Evidence for God and Near-Death Experience.

Portions of the www.nderf.org web site have been posted in 30 different languages. This is leading to increasing awareness that worldwide and across cultural boundaries we all share these types of experiences, and they are similar to a degree that is medically inexplicable. The potential to heighten world understanding is obvious, and very important. Over 4000 NDEs are currently posted on www.nderf.org, making it by far the largest number of NDEs ever studied, and by far the largest number of NDEs publicly accessible in the world.

Today’s Star is Paul Davids

Hardened to the hard-nosed realities of a life as a Hollywood producer and director, Paul Davids was dumbfounded when he realized that a deceased friend and mentor was attempting to contact him.

About the Guest Paul Davids

Paul Davids, a Princeton University graduate and noted producer, poet, writer, director, artist and documentarian, found himself receiving communications from his mentor, Forrest J Ackerman, since Ackerman’s passing in 2008.

Forrest J Ackerman, a founder of science-fiction fandom (who coined the term sci-fi) and was a Pied Piper for its devotees, was a committed atheist. He was also a firm disbeliever in any afterlife. However, he promised to “drop a line” if it turned out that he was wrong. Davids contacted Gary Schwartz, Ph.D., an internationally known expert and author on afterlife research, who collaborated with Davids in this new book, An Atheist in Heaven: The Ultimate Evidence for Life After Death?

Ackerman not only “dropped a line” to Davids, but he has been at the center of over a hundred instances of unexplained phenomena in the past eight years, many of which have undergone chemical and other forms of technological testing by top university scientists. An Atheist in Heaven, a non-fiction book, begins with Mr. Davids’ sworn affidavit of the truth of his account, and the 514 pages offer much scientific testimony supporting seemingly impossible incidents.

Paul Davids is also an artist, whose portfolio can be found at: www.pauldavids-artist.com
