Quote:Does research on extra-ocular vision bring us closer to answering the question: is our consciousness produced by our brain? Natalia Vorontsova discusses the mind-brain relationship, the nature of reality, and the future of science with neuroscientist, physicist, and near-death experiencer Dr. Alex Gomez Marin.

The concept of seeing without using the eyes seems to pop up quite often (try GOOGLing it) and it is true - there are even people who teach others how to do it - just as Alex reports. Bearing in mind that he is a theoretical physicist, and as he says he can easily wreck his career by exploring this, I really do tend to believe him.

Of course, he is a bit verbose, but that really isn't a good reason to ignore him.

What I think is hopeful is he seems younger than a lot of guys we usually find in Parapsychology research.

Comforts me to think people are just gonna keep having paranormal experiences whether it's meeting someone with Psi abilities or having an NDE. And ideally as the materialist-atheist dogma weakens these new researchers will bring parapsychology out of the "cold".

Hmm, dr Gomez Marin surely talks a lot... However, I haven't seen and couldn't find any of experiments mentioned with the Google search... Not a single word... So, I will not take him seriously without a proper experiment, protocols etc. If he can deliver as he claims in the YT video I want to see the money...
