Irrefutable scientific facts of contact with the dead. Life after death exists! Proven by German scientists

One of the main questions for everyone remains the question of what awaits us after death. For thousands of years, unsuccessful attempts have been made to unravel this mystery. Apart from guesswork, there are real facts confirming that death is not the end of the human journey.

There are a large number of paranormal videos that have taken the internet by storm. But even in this case, there are a lot of skeptics who say that the videos can be faked. It is difficult to disagree with them, because a person is not inclined to believe in what he cannot see with his own eyes.

There are many stories about how people returned from the other world when they were near death. How to perceive such cases is a matter of faith. However, often even the most inveterate skeptics changed themselves and their lives when faced with situations that cannot be explained using logic.

Religion about death

The vast majority of the world's religions have teachings about what awaits us after death. The most common is the doctrine of Heaven and Hell. Sometimes it is supplemented by an intermediate link: “walking” through the world of the living after death. Some peoples believe that such a fate awaits suicides and those who have not completed something important on this Earth.

A similar concept is seen in many religions. Despite all the differences, they have one thing in common: everything is tied to good and bad, and a person’s posthumous state depends on how he behaved during life. The religious description of the afterlife cannot be written off. Life after death exists - inexplicable facts confirm this.

One day something amazing happened to a priest who was the rector of the Baptist Church in the United States of America. A man was driving his car home from a meeting about building a new church when a truck came towards him. The accident could not be avoided. The collision was so strong that the man fell into a coma for some time.

An ambulance arrived soon, but it was too late. The man's heart didn't beat. Doctors confirmed the cardiac arrest with a second test. They had no doubt that the man was dead. Around the same time, the police arrived at the scene of the accident. Among the officers there was a Christian who saw a cross in the priest’s pocket. He immediately noticed his clothes and realized who was in front of him. He could not send God's servant on his final journey without prayer. He said words of prayer as he climbed into the dilapidated car and took the hand of the man whose heart was not beating. While reading the lines, he heard a subtle groan, which shocked him. He checked his pulse again and realized that he could clearly feel the blood pulsing. Later, when the man miraculously recovered and began to live his old life, this story became popular. Perhaps the man really returned from the other world to complete important matters at the behest of God. One way or another, they could not give a scientific explanation for this, because the heart cannot start on its own.

The priest himself said more than once in his interviews that he saw only the white light and nothing else. He could have taken advantage of the situation and said that the Lord himself spoke to him or that he saw angels, but he did not do this. A couple of reporters claimed that when asked what the man saw in this afterlife dream, he smiled discreetly and his eyes filled with tears. Perhaps he really saw something hidden, but did not want to make it public.

When people are in a short coma, their brain does not have time to die during this time. That is why it is worth paying attention to the numerous stories that people, being between life and death, saw a light so bright that even through closed eyes it seeps through as if the eyelids were transparent. One hundred percent of people came back to life and reported that the light began to move away from them. Religion interprets this very simply - their time has not yet come. A similar light was seen by the wise men approaching the cave where Jesus Christ was born. This is the glow of heaven, the afterlife. No one saw angels or God, but felt the touch of higher powers.

Another thing is dreams. Scientists have proven that we can dream anything that our brain can imagine. In a word, dreams are not limited by anything. It happens that people see their dead relatives in their dreams. If 40 days have not passed since death, this means that the person actually spoke to you from the afterlife. Unfortunately, dreams cannot be analyzed objectively from two points of view - scientific and religious-esoteric, because it’s all about sensations. You may dream about God, angels, heaven, hell, ghosts and whatever you want, but you don’t always feel that the meeting was real. It happens that in dreams we remember deceased grandparents or parents, but only occasionally does a real spirit come to someone in a dream. We all understand that it will be impossible to prove our feelings, so no one spreads their impressions further than outside the family circle. Those who believe in the afterlife, and even those who doubt it, wake up after such dreams with a completely different view of the world. Spirits can predict the future, which has happened more than once in history. They can show dissatisfaction, joy, sympathy.

There are quite a famous story that happened in Scotland in the early 70s of the 20th century with an ordinary builder. A residential building was being built in Edinburgh. Norman McTagert, who was 32 years old, worked at the construction site. He fell from quite a height, lost consciousness and fell into a coma for a day. Shortly before this, he dreamed of falling. After he woke up, he told what he saw in the coma. According to the man, it was a long journey because he wanted to wake up, but he couldn’t. First he saw that same blinding bright light, and then he met his mother, who said that she had always wanted to become a grandmother. The most interesting thing is that as soon as he regained consciousness, his wife told him about the most pleasant news that was possible - Norman was going to become a dad. The woman found out about her pregnancy on the day of the tragedy. The man had serious health problems, but he not only survived, but also continued to work and feed his family.

At the end of the 90s, something very unusual happened in Canada.. The doctor on duty at one of the Vancouver hospitals was taking calls and filling out paperwork, but then she saw a little boy in white night pajamas. He shouted from the other end of the emergency room: “Tell my mom not to worry about me.” The girl was afraid that one of the patients had left the room, but then she saw the boy walk through the closed doors of the hospital. His house was a couple of minutes from the hospital. That's where he ran. The doctor was alarmed by the fact that it was three o'clock in the morning. She decided that she had to catch up with the boy at all costs, because even if he was not a patient, she needed to report him to the police. She ran after him for just a couple of minutes until the child ran into the house. The girl began to ring the doorbell, after which the mother of that same boy opened the door for her. She said that it was impossible for her son to leave the house, because he was very ill. She burst into tears and went into the room where the child lay in his crib. It turned out that the boy had died. The story received great resonance in society.

In the brutal Second World War one private Frenchman spent almost two hours firing back at the enemy during a battle in the city . Next to him was a man of about 40 years old, who covered him on the other side. It is impossible to imagine how great the surprise of an ordinary soldier in the French army was, who turned in that direction to say something to his partner, but realized that he had disappeared. A few minutes later, screams of approaching allies were heard, rushing to help. He and several other soldiers ran out to meet help, but the mysterious partner was not among them. He searched for him by name and rank, but never found the same fighter. Perhaps it was his guardian angel. Doctors say that in such stressful situations, mild hallucinations are possible, but talking with a man for an hour and a half cannot be called an ordinary mirage.

There are quite a lot of similar stories about life after death. Some of them are confirmed by eyewitnesses, but doubters still call it a fake and try to find scientific justification for people’s actions and their visions.

Real facts about the afterlife

Since ancient times, there have been cases where people saw ghosts. First they were photographed and then filmed. Some people think that this is an edit, but later they are personally convinced of the veracity of the pictures. Numerous stories cannot be considered proof of the existence of life after death, so people need evidence and scientific facts.

Fact one: Many have heard that after death a person becomes exactly 22 grams lighter. Scientists cannot explain this phenomenon in any way. Many believers tend to believe that 22 grams is the weight of the human soul. Many experiments were carried out that ended with the same result - the body became lighter by a certain amount. Why is the main question. People's skepticism cannot be eradicated, so many hope that an explanation will be found, but this is unlikely to happen. Ghosts can be seen by the human eye, hence their "body" has mass. Obviously, everything that has some kind of outline must be at least partly physical. Ghosts exist in greater dimensions than us. There are 4 of them: height, width, length and time. Ghosts have no control over time from the point of view from which we see it.

Fact two: The air temperature near ghosts decreases. This is typical, by the way, not only for the souls of dead people, but also for the so-called brownies. All this is the result of the action of the afterlife in reality. When a person dies, the temperature around him immediately drops sharply, literally for an instant. This indicates that the soul leaves the body. The temperature of the soul is approximately 5-7 degrees Celsius, as measurements show. During paranormal phenomena, the temperature also changes, so scientists have proven that this happens not only during immediate death, but also afterwards. The soul has a certain radius of influence around itself. Many horror films use this fact to bring the filming closer to reality. Many people confirm that when they felt the movement of a ghost or some entity near them, they felt very cold.

Here is an example of a paranormal video that features real ghosts.

The authors claim that this is not a joke, and experts who watched this collection say that approximately half of all such videos are the real truth. Particularly noteworthy is the part of this video where the girl is pushed by a ghost in the bathroom. Experts report that physical contact is possible and absolutely real, and the video is not fake. Almost all pictures of furniture moving may be true. The problem is that it is very easy to fake such a video, but in the moment where the chair next to the sitting girl began to move by itself, there was no acting. There are very, very many such cases around the world, but there are no fewer of those who just want to promote their video and become famous. Distinguishing fake from truth is difficult, but possible.

Human nature will never be able to accept the fact that immortality is impossible. Moreover, the immortality of the soul is an indisputable fact for many.

And more recently, scientists have discovered evidence that physical death is not the absolute end of human existence and that there is still something beyond the boundaries of life.

One can imagine how such a discovery delighted people. After all, death, like birth, is the most mysterious and unknown state of a person. There are a lot of questions associated with them. For example, why a person is born and starts life from scratch, why he dies, etc.

A person throughout his entire adult life has been trying to deceive fate in order to prolong his existence in this world. Humanity is trying to calculate the formula for immortality in order to understand whether the words “death” and “end” are synonymous.

Scientists have found evidence that there is life after death

However, recent research has brought science and religion into one: death is not the end. After all, only beyond life can a person discover a new form of being. Moreover, scientists are sure that every person can remember his past life. And this means that death is not the end, and there, beyond the line, there is another life. Unknown to humanity, but life.

However, if the transmigration of souls exists, it means that a person must remember not only all his previous lives, but also deaths, while not everyone can survive this experience.

The phenomenon of the transfer of consciousness from one physical shell to another has been exciting the minds of mankind for many centuries. The first mentions of reincarnation are found in the Vedas - the oldest sacred scriptures of Hinduism.

According to the Vedas, any living being resides in two material bodies - the gross and the subtle. And they function only due to the presence of the soul in them. When the gross body finally wears out and becomes unusable, the soul leaves it in another - the subtle body. This is death. And when the soul finds a new physical body that is suitable for its mentality, the miracle of birth occurs.

The transition from one body to another, moreover, the transfer of the same physical defects from one life to another, was described in detail by the famous psychiatrist Ian Stevenson. He began studying the mysterious experience of reincarnation back in the sixties of the last century. Stevenson analyzed more than two thousand cases of unique reincarnation in different parts of the planet. While conducting research, the scientist came to a sensational conclusion. It turns out that those who have survived reincarnation will have the same defects in their new incarnations as they had in their previous life. These could be scars or moles, stuttering or another defect.

Incredibly, the scientist’s conclusions can only mean one thing: after death, everyone is destined to be born again, but in a different time. Moreover, a third of the children Stevenson studied had birth defects. Thus, a boy with a rough growth on the back of his head, under hypnosis, remembered that in a past life he was hacked to death with an ax. Stevenson found a family where a man who had been killed with an ax actually once lived. And the nature of his wound was like a pattern for a scar on the boy’s head.

Another child, who seemed to have been born with chopped off fingers, said that he was injured during field work. And again there were people who confirmed to Stevenson that one day a man died in a field from loss of blood when his fingers got caught in a threshing machine.

Thanks to the research of Professor Stevenson, supporters of the theory of transmigration of souls consider reincarnation to be a scientifically proven fact. Moreover, they claim that almost every person is able to view their past lives even in their sleep.

And the state of déjà vu, when suddenly there is a feeling that somewhere this has already happened to a person, may well be a flash of memory of previous lives.

The first scientific explanation that life does not end with the physical death of a person was given by Tsiolkovsky. He argued that absolute death is impossible because the Universe is alive. And Tsiolkovsky described the souls that left their corruptible bodies as indivisible atoms wandering throughout the Universe. This was the first scientific theory about the immortality of the soul, according to which the death of the physical body does not mean the complete disappearance of the consciousness of the deceased person.

But for modern science, belief in the immortality of the soul alone is, of course, not enough. Humanity still does not agree that physical death is invincible, and is strenuously looking for weapons against it.

Proof of life after death for some scientists is the unique experiment of cryonics, where the human body is frozen and kept in liquid nitrogen until techniques are found to restore any damaged cells and tissues in the body. And recent research by scientists proves that such technologies have already been found, although only a small part of these developments is publicly available. The results of the main studies are kept confidential. One could only dream of such technologies ten years ago.

Today, science can already freeze a person in order to revive him at the right moment, creates a controlled model of a robot-Avatar, but he still has no idea how to resettle a soul. This means that at one point humanity may face a huge problem - the creation of soulless machines that will never be able to replace humans.

Therefore, today, scientists are sure, cryonics is the only method for the revival of the human race.

In Russia, only three people used it. They are frozen and awaiting the future, eighteen more have signed a contract for cryopreservation after death.

Scientists began to think that the death of a living organism can be prevented by freezing several centuries ago. The first scientific experiments on freezing animals were carried out back in the seventeenth century, but only three hundred years later, in 1962, the American physicist Robert Ettinger finally promised people what they had dreamed of throughout human history - immortality.

The professor proposed freezing people immediately after death and storing them in this state until science finds a way to resurrect the dead. Then the frozen ones can be thawed and revived. According to scientists, a person will retain absolutely everything, it will still be the same person who was before death. And the same thing will happen to his soul that happens to it in the hospital when the patient is resuscitated.

All that remains is to decide what age to enter in the new citizen’s passport. After all, resurrection can occur either after twenty or after a hundred or two hundred years.

The famous geneticist Gennady Berdyshev suggests that the development of such technologies will take another fifty years. But the scientist has no doubt that immortality is a reality.

Today Gennady Berdyshev has built a pyramid at his dacha, an exact copy of the Egyptian one, but from logs, in which he is going to lose his years. According to Berdyshev, the pyramid is a unique hospital where time stops. Its proportions are strictly calculated according to the ancient formula. Gennady Dmitrievich assures: it is enough to spend fifteen minutes a day inside such a pyramid, and the years will begin to count down.

But the pyramid is not the only ingredient in this eminent scientist’s recipe for longevity. He knows, if not everything, then almost everything about the secrets of youth. Back in 1977, he became one of the initiators of the opening of the Institute of Juvenology in Moscow. Gennady Dmitrievich led a group of Korean doctors who rejuvenated Kim Il Sung. He was even able to extend the life of the Korean leader to ninety-two years.

Just a few centuries ago, life expectancy on Earth, for example in Europe, did not exceed forty years. A modern person lives on average sixty to seventy years, but even this time is catastrophically short. And recently, the opinions of scientists converge: the biological program for a person is to live at least one hundred and twenty years. In this case, it turns out that humanity simply does not live to reach its true old age.

Some experts are confident that the processes occurring in the body at the age of seventy are premature old age. Russian scientists were the first in the world to develop a unique medicine that prolongs life to one hundred and ten or one hundred and twenty years, which means it cures old age. The peptide bioregulators contained in the medicine restore damaged areas of cells, and a person’s biological age increases.

As reincarnation psychologists and therapists say, a person’s lived life is connected with his death. For example, a person who does not believe in God and leads a completely “earthly” life, which means he is afraid of death, for the most part does not realize that he is dying, and after death he finds himself in a “gray space.”

At the same time, the soul retains the memory of all its past incarnations. And this experience leaves its mark on a new life. And training on memories from past lives helps to understand the causes of failures, problems and illnesses that people often cannot cope with on their own. Experts say that after seeing their mistakes in past lives, people in their present lives begin to be more conscious of their decisions.

Visions from a past life prove that there is a huge information field in the Universe. After all, the law of conservation of energy says that nothing in life disappears anywhere or appears from nothing, but only passes from one state to another.

This means that after death, each of us turns into something like a clot of energy, carrying all the information about past incarnations, which is then again embodied in a new form of life.

And it is quite possible that someday we will be born in another time and in another space. And remembering your past life is useful not only to remember past problems, but also to think about your purpose.

Death is still stronger than life, but under the pressure of scientific developments its defenses are weakening. And who knows, the time may come when death will open the way for us to another - eternal life.

Scientists have evidence of the existence of life after death. They discovered that consciousness can continue after death.

Although there is a lot of skepticism surrounding this topic, there are testimonies from people who have had this experience that will make you think about it.

Dr. Sam Parnia, a professor who has studied near-death experiences and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, believes that a person's consciousness can survive brain death when there is no blood flow to the brain and there is no electrical activity.

Since 2008, he has collected extensive evidence of near-death experiences that occurred when a person's brain was no more active than a loaf of bread.

Based on the visions, conscious awareness persisted for up to three minutes after the heart stopped, although the brain usually shuts down within 20 to 30 seconds after the heart stops.

You may have heard people talk about the feeling of separation from your own body, and they seemed like a fantasy to you. American singer Pam Reynolds spoke about her out-of-body experience during brain surgery, which she experienced at the age of 35.

She was placed in an induced coma, her body was cooled to 15 degrees Celsius, and her brain was virtually deprived of blood supply. In addition, her eyes were closed and headphones were inserted into her ears, drowning out sounds.

Hovering above her body, she was able to observe her own operation. The description was very clear. She heard someone say, “Her arteries are too small,” while the song “Hotel California” by The Eagles played in the background.

The doctors themselves were shocked by all the details that Pam told about her experience.

One of the classic examples of near-death experiences is meeting with deceased relatives on the other side.

Researcher Bruce Grayson believes that what we see when we are in a state of clinical death is not just vivid hallucinations. In 2013, he published a study in which he indicated that the number of patients who met deceased relatives far exceeded the number of those who met living people.

Moreover, there have been several cases where people have encountered a dead relative on the other side without knowing that the person had died.

Internationally recognized Belgian neurologist Steven Laureys does not believe in life after death. He believes that all near-death experiences can be explained through physical phenomena.

Laureys and his team expected that near-death experiences would be similar to dreams or hallucinations and would fade from memory over time.

However, he discovered that memories of near-death experiences remain fresh and vivid regardless of the passage of time and sometimes even outshine memories of actual events.

In one study, researchers asked 344 patients who had experienced cardiac arrest to describe their experiences in the week following resuscitation.

Of all the people surveyed, 18% could hardly remember their experience, and 8-12% gave the classic example of near-death experiences

Dutch researcher Pim van Lommel studied the memories of people who experienced clinical death.

According to the results, many people lost their fear of death and became happier, more positive and more sociable. Almost everyone spoke of near-death experiences as a positive experience that further impacted their lives over time.

American neurosurgeon Eben Alexander spent 7 days in a coma in 2008, which changed his opinion about near-death experiences. He stated that he saw something that was difficult to believe.

He said that he saw light and a melody emanating from there, he saw something similar to a portal into a magnificent reality, filled with waterfalls of indescribable colors and millions of butterflies flying across this scene. However, his brain was switched off during these visions to such an extent that he should not have had any glimpses of consciousness.

Many have questioned Dr. Eben's words, but if he is telling the truth, perhaps his experiences and those of others should not be ignored.

They interviewed 31 blind people who had experienced clinical death or out-of-body experiences. Moreover, 14 of them were blind from birth.

However, they all described visual images during their experiences, whether it was a tunnel of light, deceased relatives, or watching their bodies from above.

According to Professor Robert Lanza, all possibilities in the Universe happen simultaneously. But when the “observer” decides to look, all these possibilities come down to one, which happens in our world. Thus, time, space, matter and everything else exist only due to our perception.

If this is so, then things like “death” cease to be an incontrovertible fact and become just a part of perception. In reality, although it may seem that we are dying in this universe, according to Lanz's theory, our life becomes "an eternal flower that blooms again in the multiverse."

Dr. Ian Stevenson researched and recorded more than 3,000 cases of children under the age of 5 who could remember their past lives.

In one case, a girl from Sri Lanka remembered the name of the city she was in and described her family and home in detail. Later, 27 out of 30 of her statements were confirmed. However, none of her family and acquaintances were in any way connected with this city.

Stevenson also documented cases of children who had phobias related to their past lives, children who had birth defects reflecting the manner in which they died, and even children who went berserk when they recognized their “killers.”

I wonder what it takes to prove the existence of life after life? Comparison: What do I need to prove that you exist? Ideally, to see you and communicate with you. What if we are separated by many kilometers and it is impossible to see directly? You can find other ways to find out about you, for example, chat with you via the Internet, which is what we are doing now. How to understand that you are not a bot? Here we will have to apply some analytical methods and ask you non-standard questions. Etc.

How did scientists know about the existence of dark matter? After all, it’s basically impossible to see or touch it? By calculating the speed at which galaxies are moving away, comparing it with the observed speed. The result is a contradiction: there is more gravity in the universe than originally expected. Where did she come from? Its source was called dark matter. Those. The methods are very indirect. And, at the same time, no one questions the conclusions of physicists.

So it is here: a lot of people have had the experience of post-mortem visions and experiences. And not all of them are explainable from the point of view of hallucinations. I myself had the opportunity to communicate several times with people who were “there”. There is more evidence than evidence for the existence of dark matter.

And for the most skeptical skeptic, I will cite Pascal’s famous wager. One of the greatest scientists in the entire history of science, who discovered the laws without which modern physics is unthinkable.

PASCAL'S Wager

In conclusion, I will quote Pascal’s famous wager. We all studied the laws of the great scientist Pascal at school. Blaise Pascal, a Frenchman, is truly an outstanding man, ahead of the science of his time by a couple of centuries! He lived in the seventeenth century, in the era preceding the so-called Great French Revolution (late eighteenth century), when godless ideas were already corrupting the high society and, imperceptibly, were preparing his sentence to the guillotine.

As a believer, he boldly defended religious ideas that were ridiculed and very unpopular at that time. Pascal's famous bet has been preserved: his dispute with unbelieving scientists. He argued something like this: You believe that there is no God and there is no Eternal Life, but I believe that there is God and there is Eternal Life! Let's argue?.. Argued? Now imagine yourself in the first second after death. If I was right, I get everything, I get Eternal Life, and you lose everything. Even if you turn out to be right, you will not have any advantages over me, because everything will go into absolute oblivion! Thus, my faith gives me hope for Eternal Life, but yours deprives you of everything! Pascal was a smart man!

Belief in the existence of an immortal soul gives us our greatest hope. After all, this is the hope of gaining immortality. Even if the probability of receiving an infinite prize were negligible, then in this case we are infinitely winning: any finite number multiplied by infinity is equal to infinity. What does atheism give a person? I believe in absolute zero! As one poet said: only meat in the pit. Everything that is born will die, everything that has been built will be destroyed, and the universe will collapse back to the point of singularity.

Korotkov Konstantin Georgievich

Doctor of Technical Sciences

Treatises of ancient civilizations have been written about the immortality of the soul, about its exit from an immobilized dead body, myths and canonical religious teachings have been composed, but we would also like to receive evidence using the methods of exact sciences. It seems that the St. Petersburg scientist managed to achieve this . If his experimental data and the hypothesis built on their basis about the exit of the subtle body from the deceased physical body are confirmed by the research of other scientists, religion and science will finally agree that human life does not end with the last exhalation.

Konstantin Georgievich, what you did is both incredible and natural at the same time. Every reasonable person, to one degree or another, believes or at least secretly hopes that his soul is immortal. “Does not believe in the immortality of the soul; - Leo Tolstoy wrote, “only those who have never seriously thought about death.” However, science, which has replaced God for half of humanity, does not seem to give reason for optimism. So the long-awaited breakthrough has been made: the light of eternal life has dawned before us at the end of the tunnel, which no one can escape?

I would refrain from making such categorical statements. The experiments I conducted are rather a reason for other researchers to use precise methods to find the threshold between the earthly existence of a person and the afterlife of the soul. How one-sided is the transition across this threshold? At what point is it still possible to return? - the question is not only theoretical and philosophical, but also key in the daily practice of resuscitators: it is extremely important for them to obtain a clear criterion for the body’s transition beyond the threshold of earthly existence.

You dared to set the goal of your experiments to answer a question that had previously puzzled only theosophists, esotericists and mystics. What arsenal of modern science allowed you to pose the problem in this form?

My experiments were made possible thanks to a method created in Russia more than a century ago. It was forgotten, and in the 20s it was revived again by the inventors from Krasnodar, the Kirlian spouses. In a high-intensity electromagnetic field around a living object, be it a green leaf or a finger, a radiant glow appears. Moreover, the characteristics of this glow directly depend on the energy state of the object. Around the finger of a healthy, cheerful person, the glow is bright and even. Any disorders of the body - which is fundamentally important, not only those already identified, but also future ones that have not yet manifested themselves in organs and systems - break the luminous halo, deform it and make it dimmer. A special diagnostic direction in medicine has already been formed and recognized, which makes it possible to draw current conclusions about upcoming diseases based on inhomogeneities, cavities and darkening in a Kirlian image. The German doctor P. Mandel, having processed enormous statistical material, even created an atlas in which certain errors in the state of the body correspond to various features of the glow.

So, twenty years of working with the Kirlian effect pushed me to the idea of ​​​​seeing how the glow around living matter changes as it becomes inanimate.

Did you, like Academician Pavlov, who dictated a diary of his own death to his students, photograph the process of dying?

No, I did something different: I began to study the bodies of recently deceased people using Kirlian photographs. An hour to three hours after death, the motionless hand of the deceased was photographed hourly in a gas-discharge flash. The images were then processed on a computer to determine changes in the parameters of interest over time. Filming of each object took from three to five days. The ages of the deceased men and women ranged from 19 to 70 years, and their manner of death was different.

And this, no matter how strange it may seem to some, was reflected in the photographs.

The set of obtained gas-discharge curves was naturally divided into three groups:

a) relatively small amplitude of oscillations of the curves;

b) also a small amplitude, but there is one well-defined peak;

c) large amplitude of very long oscillations.

These differences are purely physical, and I would not mention them to you if the changes in parameters were not so clearly linked to the nature of the death of those photographed. But thanatologists—researchers of the process of dying of living organisms—have never had such a relationship before.

Here's how the deaths of people from the three groups mentioned above differed:

a) “calm”, natural death of a senile organism that has exhausted its life resource;

b) “abrupt” death - also natural, but still accidental: as a result of an accident, blood clot, traumatic brain injury, or help not arriving in time;

c) “unexpected” death, sudden, tragic, which, had circumstances been happier, could have been avoided; Suicides also belong to this group.

Here it is, completely new material for science: the nature of death is literally displayed on the instruments.

The most striking thing about the results obtained is that oscillatory processes, in which rises alternate with declines over several hours, are characteristic of objects with active life activity. And I photographed the dead... This means that there is no fundamental difference between the dead and the living when Kirlian photography is done! But then death itself is not a break, not an instant event, but a gradual process, a slow transition.

- And how long does this transition last?

The fact of the matter is that the duration in different groups is also different:

a) “calm” death revealed in my experiments fluctuations in glow parameters over a period of 16 to 55 hours;

b) “sharp” death leads to a visible jump either after 8 hours or at the end of the first day, and two days after death the fluctuations converge to the background level;

c) with “unexpected” death, the oscillations are the strongest and longest, their amplitude decreases from the beginning to the end of the experiment, the glow dims at the end of the first day and especially sharply at the end of the second; in addition, every evening after nine and until approximately two or three o'clock in the morning, bursts of glow intensity are observed.

- Well, it’s just some kind of scientific and mystical thriller: at night the dead come to life!

Legends and customs associated with the dead are receiving unexpected experimental confirmation.

Who would know what it is abroad - a day after death, two days? But since these intervals are readable on my diagrams, it means that something corresponds to them.

- Have you somehow identified nine and forty days after death - especially significant intervals in Christianity?

I did not have the opportunity to conduct such long-term experiments. But I am convinced that the period from three to 49 days after death is a crucial period for the soul of the deceased, marked by its separation from the body. Either she is traveling at this time between two worlds, or the Higher Mind is deciding her future fate, or the soul is going through circles of ordeal - different faiths describe different nuances of the same, apparently, process, which is reflected on our computers.

- So, the afterlife of the soul has been scientifically proven?

Do not misunderstand me. I obtained experimental data, used metrologically proven equipment, standardized methods, data processing was carried out at different stages by different operators, I took care of evidence of the absence of influence of meteorological conditions on the operation of the instruments... That is, I did everything possible for a conscientious experimenter to ensure that the results were as accurate as possible. objective. Remaining within the framework of the Western scientific paradigm, I, in principle, must avoid mentioning the soul or the separation of the astral body from the physical; these are concepts organic to the occult and mystical teachings of Eastern science. And although, as we remember, “The West is the West, and the East is the East, and they cannot come together,” they converge in my research. If we talk about scientific proof of the afterlife, we will inevitably have to clarify whether we mean Western or Eastern science.

- Maybe just such research is called upon to unite the two sciences?

We have every right to hope that this will eventually happen. Moreover, the ancient treatises of mankind on the transition from life to death are fundamentally the same among all traditional religions.

Since the living body and the body of the recently deceased are very similar in the characteristics of the gas-discharge glow, it is not entirely clear what death is. At the same time, I specifically conducted a series of similar experiments with meat - both fresh and frozen. No fluctuations in the glow of these objects were noted. It turns out that the body of a person who died a few hours or days ago is much closer to a living body than to meat. Tell this to the pathologist - I think he will be surprised.

As you can see, the energy-information structure of a person is no less real than his material body. These two hypostases are connected with each other during a person’s life and break this connection after death not immediately, but gradually, according to certain laws. And if we recognize a motionless body with stopped breathing and heartbeat, a non-functioning brain as dead, this does not at all mean that the astral body is dead.

Moreover, the separation of the astral and physical bodies can somewhat separate them in space.

- Well, we’ve already agreed on phantoms and ghosts.

What to do, in our conversation these are not folklore or mystical images, but a reality recorded by instruments.

Are you really implying that the dead man is lying on the table, and his flickering ghost is walking around the house left by the deceased?

I’m not hinting, but I’m talking about this with the responsibility of a scientist and a direct participant in the experiments.

On the very first experimental night, I felt the presence of a certain entity. It turned out that this is a common reality for pathologists and morgue attendants.

Periodically going down to the basement to measure parameters (which is where the experiments were carried out), on the first night I experienced an insane attack of fear. For me, a hunter and experienced climber seasoned in extreme situations, fear is not the most characteristic state. With an effort of will I tried to overcome it. But in this case it didn’t work. The fear subsided only with the onset of morning. And on the second night it was scary, and on the third, but with repetitions the fear gradually weakened.

Analyzing the reason for my fear, I realized that it was objective. When, going down to the basement, I was heading towards the object of research, before I even reached it, I clearly felt eyes on me. Whose? There was no one in the room except me and the dead man. Everyone feels a gaze directed at themselves. Usually, when he turns around, he meets someone's eyes fixed on him. In this case, there was a look, but there were no eyes. Moving either closer to the gurney with the body, then further from it, I experimentally established that the source of the gaze was located five to seven meters from the body. Moreover, every time I caught myself with the feeling that the invisible observer was here by right, and I was there by my own volition.

Typically, work associated with periodic measurements required being near the body for about twenty minutes. During this time I was very tired, and the work itself could not cause this fatigue. Repeated sensations of the same kind prompted the idea of ​​a natural loss of energy in the basement.

- Did the Phantom suck your energy?

Not just mine. The same thing happened to my assistants, which only confirmed the non-randomness of my feelings. Even worse, the doctor of the experimental group - an experienced professional who had performed autopsies on corpses for many years - in our work touched a piece of bone, tore his glove, but did not notice the scratch, and the next day he was taken away by ambulance with blood poisoning.

What kind of sudden puncture? As he later admitted to me, for the first time, a pathologist had to stay near corpses for a long time, and at night. At night, fatigue is stronger, vigilance is weaker. But besides this, as we now know for certain, the activity of a dead body is higher, especially if it is a suicide.

True, I am not a supporter of the view that the dead suck energy from the living. Perhaps the process is not so clear cut. The body of the recently deceased is in a complex state of transition from life to death. There is still an unknown process of energy flowing from the body into another world. If another person enters the zone of this energy process, it can be fraught with damage to his energy-informational structure.

- Is that why the deceased is being buried?

In the funeral service, prayers for the soul of the newly deceased, in only kind words and thoughts about him, there is a deep meaning that rational science has not yet reached. A soul making a difficult transition should be helped. If we intrude into its domain, even for what seems to us to be excusable research purposes, we apparently expose ourselves to an unexplored, although intuitively guessable, danger.

- And the reluctance of the church to bury suicides in consecrated ground is confirmed by your research?

Yes, perhaps those violent fluctuations in the first two days after voluntary death, which our computers recorded when calculating Kirlian photographs of a suicide, provide a rational basis for this custom. After all, we still don’t know anything about what then happens to the souls of the dead and how they interact with each other.

But our conclusion about the absence of a tangible boundary between life and death (according to the experiments conducted) allows us to assume the truth of the judgment that the soul, after the death of the body, continues in the afterlife the same fate of the same person living in a different reality.
