Modern Spiritualism: Scientists say there's life after death

A team of British researchers have “confirmed” that consciousness can go on when someone dies but the study also uncovered some disturbing aspects of the so-called afterlife. The scientists looked at the cases of over 2,000 people and have established that thoughts continue on after their hearts stops beating.

They found that those who experienced some awareness, only two percent said their experience was consistent with the feeling of an outer body experience where an individual is completely aware and can hear and see what’s going on around them when their heart stops beating.

A more troubling discovery was that nearly half of the respondents said the experience was not of awareness, but of overpowering fear.

While undertaking the research the scientists uncovered what may be the first proven case of a patient’s out of body experience.

The work carried out by the University of Southampton has revealed that people still experience awareness for up to three minutes after they had been pronounced dead.
