A Garden Next Door: How One Woman Was Struck by Lightning, Talked to God, and Came Back to Dream the Future. Jeffrey J. Kripal

How might methods from humanities infuse the future course of parapsychology? Jeff’s upcoming book Lightning Bolts and Strange Words: A Shocking Near-Death Experience and Its Paranormal Currents presents the case of Elizabeth Krohn, a contemporary Houston woman who was struck by lightning in the parking lot of her synagogue on the first anniversary of her grandfather’s death. An elaborate NDE ensued, after which she began to notice new psychical capacities, including the ability to see energy fields around people and the ability to see major plane crashes and natural disasters in her dreams before they happened. He will give a few examples of the latter and discuss the time-stamped emails she learned to send herself immediately after the nightmares as a means of establishing the authenticity of the precognitions, stressing the importance of mixing methods to plumb these sorts of human experiences.

Linju Alias attended the 2016 IANDS Conference in Orlando FL and reported on her phenomenological study to explore near-death experiences among cardiac arrest survivors in selected panchayats (villages) of Kannur district, Kerala, India. Here she reports on additional investigations since the conference.

Near-Death Experiences and the Neural Correlates of Consciousness -- Robert & Suzanne Mays, 2017 IANDS Conference


The phenomenology of near-death experiences (NDEs) strongly suggests the existence of a separate, autonomous mind or psyche. In an NDE, the mind exists and operates independent of the physical brain and body, having (1) a sense of separation from the body, with freedom from pain and disabilities; (2) lucid thought processes and hyperreal perceptions with veridical information beyond ordinary physical senses and prior knowledge; (3) real, albeit subtle, interactions with physical processes; and (4) accurate memory recall of past events and the formation of vivid, indelible memories of NDE events. In some cases, the mind entity can be seen and heard objectively by others at a distance from the body. If the mind entity is real, there should be ample evidence of its presence in brain processes during ordinary waking consciousness. We propose that the two neural correlates of the mind-brain interface are (1) the characteristic pauses in neural activation seen in brain EEG and MEG recordings, indicating mental activity during such cases as perception, language comprehension and working memory; and (2) the characteristic increases in neural activation in progressive brain regions, indicating the process of the mental content coming to consciousness from unconscious detection to full awareness. We present examples of interpreting patterns in EEG and MEG recordings in rapid visual categorization, auditory and visual language comprehension and face recognition tasks.
