THE AIM OF THE GROUP IS TO EXPLORE AND DEEPEN OUR UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT HAS BEEN LEARNED ABOUT HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES (“NDES”) AND HAVE REPORTED AN AMAZING JOURNEY AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN REVIVED, ALONG WITH THE LESSONS THEY LEARNED.  WE WILL REVIEW AND DISCUSS ACTUAL DOCUMENTED EXPERIENCES ALONG WITH THE FINDINGS OF VARIOUS RESEARCHERS AND SCIENTISTS, ALL OF WHOM HAVE VARIOUS THEORIES ABOUT HOW THIS HAPPENS AND WHAT IT CAN TELL US ABOUT THE TRANSITION FROM LIFE AS WE KNOW IT, AND WHAT LIES BEYOND. SOME VIDEOS AND GUEST SPEAKERS ARE UTILIZED. THIS IS NOT CONNECTED WITH ANY ORGANIZED RELIGION OR RELIGIOUS BELIEF. SOME OF THE GROUP’S CURRENT MEMBERS INCLUDE PERSONS WHO HAVE HAD NDES, “AFTER DEATH” COMMUNICATIONS WITH LOVED ONES, AND RELATED EXPERIENCES OF THEIR OWN.
