Interview With NDE Researcher Pim van Lommel

"Yes, There Is Consciousness After Death!" | Full Interview With NDE Researcher Pim van Lommel

This episode of Thanatos TV features a complete, up-to-date interview with Dutch death researcher Pim van Lommel.

Is there life after death? Is there an afterlife? This interview offers valuable insights.

Pim van Lommel (Netherlands) has been researching near-death experiences for decades. He is a cardiologist and one of the most renowned death researchers of our time. After extensive studies with clinically dead patients who were successfully resuscitated, he is convinced that consciousness continues to exist after physical death – in a "non-local" form, as "endless consciousness".

This interview focuses on his personal journey from what he describes as "a materialistic cardiologist" to an idealistic death researcher, as well as the most important findings of his research, which he summarised in his essay ‘The Continuity of Consciousness’.
