Excited to be starting our second phase researching with children and their NDEs in paediatric intensive care. Children can report a soothing darkness that may be similar with the midnight sun of consciousness found in mystical writings.

I'm a huge fan of Rupert Sheldrake but was deeply disappointed by his recent assessment of analytical idealism. This is no 'armchair theory'. Any deep read into @bernardokastrup.bsky.social academic articles and books will show this.

I'm very excited to dive into these books by the great Marc Wittmann on subjective experiences of time and altered states of consciousness

Ditto!

Thank you for the nudge @shannondesalvo.bsky.social and for your kind endorsement of my book!
