| I am pretty late to this party. I had both her talk at SAND 2016 and her interview with Nicholls in the queue and finally got the time to go through them both. She's indeed a nice lady, energetic and with a good sense of humor, but that's irrelevant. What I found interesting is that she so emphatically claims that she's got it all figured out, OBEs, NDEs, and all other "paranormal" stuff ... and from the language alone ("paranormal", "supernatural") once can understand that she juggles this subject pretty poorly. The most interesting part is that when pressed a little bit more about her claims (what Nicholls does in the interview with such grace) she immediately concedes that most of her arguments are ill conceived. - if OBEs were true we'd have to throw away our physics... nope! - dualism is untenable... who cares?! Just an appaling strawman - one experiment on an epileptic subject trumps years of reaserch in OBEs and NDEs ... that's good science indeed! Bring it on. Not to mention her dismissal of Sheldrake et al. based on her prejudices rather than research. Given she's been in the field for almost 40 years I can't believe she's this sloppy and popular at the same time... So, bottom line: she goes around book tours and conferences dismissing OBEs & C and when hard pressed she admits most of her objections don't hold water. Jeez, kudos for the integrity, Sue! | ||
