Glowacki is now spearheading a remarkable new project that will use virtual reality to enable those who are suffering from life-threatening illnesses to undergo their own (albeit simulated) near-death experiences. According to previous studies, there is evidence to suggest that those who do recall such experiences typically go on to enjoy a significant reduction in anxiety and stress levels.
This is perhaps because those people gain a renewed and even transcendental sense of peace and acceptance with regard to death and no longer fear what comes next when they die.
While some scientists have looked into the use of drugs to induce near-death experiences, Glowacki's research has indicated that virtual reality is the safest way to replicate the experience.

Best way to avoid the real and permanent experience of Hell is to repent of your sins and be saved by The Blood of Jesus who paid the price for you on the Cross. Sirius Lee was right in his post.

I’ve read the same thing. That might have been Dr. Raymond Moody.
Wasn’t this in Solyent Green?
I agree with you. Some men want to play God and many things are best left alone.
This is laughable.
The secret to easy transition is merely prayer. It directs consciousness towards God and Heaven.
I’ve had multiple NDE’s and have worked with many people with NDE’s.
Prayer is the tool I use with people who are dying in hospice.
Virtual Reality will not work as it is an external focus rather than an internal focus. Prayer is an internal focus.
Problem is, 90% of the people who say that have no idea what it really means.
They know it intellectually, but not experientially.
What happens to those who were born into circumstances where they are never introduced to the teachings of the Bible?

God loves them like everyone else. We’re all His children.
My Father’s Mansion has many rooms, or levels. Some people have an NDE and get stuck in the basement.
Only approximately 18% of those resuscitated after cardiac surgery death actually remember anything of the experience. That’s per a friend of mine who published his research on the subject in the medical journal Lancet.l, Dutch Cardiologist, Pim Van Lommel.
This is some real mad-scientist stuff, imo. But yes, it’s just my take on it.
According to Wyatt Earp from the movie Tombstone, there’s a sign.
The human soul is the same no matter a person’s religion. I work with people of all religions, and some with no religion.
Religions are just theories and philosophies about the anatomy and physiology of the human soul and how it interacts with its environment. They are for the most part correct, but incomplete.
In my experience, Jesus’s teachings and Christianity are the most accurate and complete of all of them.
Yeah but it got his name in the papers which I suspect is the real purpose of this “breakthrough “.
I know Raymond Moody. We have met many times and presented at the same conferences.
Raymond got his medical degree at UVA Charlottesville where he studied under Ian Stevenson, one of the earliest NDE researchers.
Bruce Greyson headed that department (Perceptual Studies) for many years and Jim Tuckrr heads it up now. All are psychiatrists.
Raymond Moody previously got a PhD in Philosophy.
VR simulation? Wny not just replay an old Billy Graham altar call?
Mr. Glow Wacky might wish to light up the end of the tunnel but he’s not the Light of the World.
There is a technique developed by a psychologist working at the Chicago VA Hospital. He is Dr. Allan Botkin.
He was using EMDR to treat PTSD and had the patients do it with their eyes closed and found it induced an NDE.
I SPOKE WITH Allan at length and read his book on the subject. His technique works for some people.
My research on Brain Stimulation Techniques using Trans Cranial Magnetic Stimulation in psychiatry at the med school helped me to understand how his Techniques work.
VR works well for trauma recall, but does not guide consciousness toward an NDE.
I’ve researched it extensively in PTSD treatment. Walter Reed did some research in this, but Dr. Skip Rizzo at USC did the best VR research and found it worked fabulous when combined with psychotherapy.
I attended many of his research lectures over the years at American Psychiatric Association Conferences on PTSD treatment.
