Are near-death experiences (NDEs) just elaborate hallucinations produced by a dying brain? Or the exuberant fantasies of attention-seeking narcissists? As the accounts in this book abundantly demonstrate: Neither!
This book contains over 100 reliable, often firsthand accounts of perceptions during NDEs that were later verified as accurate by independent sources. These near-death experiencers were everyday people from all over the world—many of whom were clinically dead, unable to see or hear, and yet able to perceive new vistas of a world beyond the senses and even beyond death.
The Self Does Not Die is a trailblazing effort to present the most confirmed cases of consciousness beyond death ever compiled. In these cases, the authors have gone back to the original sources, the people involved in each case, whenever possible, rather than relying on secondhand sources. In so doing, they have assembled a unique collection of empirical data that any scholar worthy of the name must take into account.
By carefully studying and describing many convincing and corroborated cases, during cardiac arrest and other cases, the authors conclude that there are good reasons to assume that our consciousness does not always coincide with the functioning of our brain: Enhanced consciousness can sometimes be experienced separately from the body.
This book is a must read for anyone wanting to know more about this fascinating subject with its implications about the very nature of human consciousness and its survival of physical death. It has the potential to radically change the currently still widely accepted materialist paradigm in science.

¿Las experiencias cercanas a la muerte (ECMs) son solo alucinaciones producidas por un cerebro moribundo? ¿O son fantasías abrumadoras de gente narcisista que necesita llamar la atención? Los numerosos testimonios recogidos en este libro demuestran que no son ninguna de las dos cosas.Este libro contiene más de 100 testimonios fiables, a menudo de primera mano, sobre percepciones concretas ocurridas durante ECMs que luego han sido verificadas como exactas, siempre por terceras personas. Los pacientes que han pasado por estas experiencias han sido personas corrientes de todos los rincones del mundo, muchos de los cuales estaban clínicamente muertos, incapaces de ver ni oír, pero al mismo tiempo capaces de percibir escenas de un mundo más allá de los sentidos e incluso más allá de la propia muerte.El Yo No Muere es un trabajo pionero de recolección de los casos mejor confirmados de consciencia más allá de la muerte. Es una lectura obligada para todo el que quiera conocer más sobre esta materia fascinante y sus implicaciones acerca de la verdadera naturaleza de la consciencia humana y su supervivencia a la muerte.

The Matrix of Consciousness is a scientific look at consciousness in all its manifestations. In many of its manifestations it transcends the 3 spatial dimensions and the one temporal dimension that define our everyday reality. This book is about how new discoveries are changing how we view ourselves and our impending deaths. In our evolving view of consciousness and reality, our death most likely means being born into a different state of cognition. This matrix of consciousness introduces a new real science, the science of reincarnation, which is incorporated into this emerging matrix as part of the information and spatial topology. The upload and download of consciousness after death and before birth is a fractal of the upload and download of information to the cloud. The old scientific model posits that reality creates consciousness. Scientists are now discovering that consciousness, in fact, shapes reality. In this cutting-edge work, author Bob Good reexamines the idea of reincarnation in the context of this changing prototype of reality. He explains the mathematical reasoning that proves consciousness is much more expansive than previously thought and that it exists in four spatial dimensions. This leads to a scientific theory of reincarnation that has major implications for the world today.The Matrix of Consciousness is the mathematical analysis of the structure of what happens to consciousness after death. This analysis upends traditional beliefs about death. Written with leading experts in the field of consciousness science, this proves religious belief in an afterlife but homogenizes it, because if it exists here, it exists there, and there is no "right "religion. This conclusion is reached through the scientific method, both proving an afterlife but disproving blasphemy, celibacy, and apostasy mathematically, as well as redefining Sharia and canonical law in light of this new scientific information. While its initial premise is examining reincarnation using the scientific method, its ultimate goal is redefining the matrix of consciousness and its subsequent ramifications.

Reincarnation as a Scientific Concept focuses on the question of whether reincarnation should be recognized as a serious subject by the contemporary scientific community. After a historical overview of the psychical research into reincarnation memories, the authors present well-documented cases that have been studied by scholars from East and West. The authors place themselves in the tradition of American psychiatrists Ian Stevenson and Jim Tucker and their Indian predecessors, as well as colleagues such as the late Dr. Erlendur Haraldsson, Dr. Satwant Pasricha and anthropologist James Matlock. Dr. Rawat has independently studied many children with memories of a past life in Asia, including classic cases in India such as Shanti Devi, Jagdish Chandra and Swarn Lata Mishra. Rivas has investigated cases in the Netherlands that show the same basic pattern, even though most of them remain unsolved. The authors address alternative psychological and parapsychological hypotheses for the findings in the field and demonstrate why reincarnation of a personal psyche offers the best explanation. Based on this assumption, they look at the possible future of parapsychological reincarnation research.
