In this episode, Dani Foffa talks to world-leading NDE expert Dr. Pim van Lommel who explores how NDEs lead to lasting changes—loss of fear of death, belief in a personal afterlife, heightened intuition, and a deep sense of unity, love, and compassion—raising fundamental questions about consciousness beyond the brain. 

Pim worked as a cardiologist at Rijnstate Hospital for 26 years and published several articles on cardiology. He then started his research on near-death experiences (NDEs) in survivors of cardiac arrest in 1986, and he has authored over 20 articles, one book under the title Consciousness Beyond Life, and numerous book chapters on NDEs. He was a co-founder of the Dutch IANDS in 1988. In 2001, his prospective NDE study (the largest in the world) was published in the medical journal The Lancet. In 2005, he was awarded the Dr. Bruce Greyson Research Award by the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS). In 2020, Spiritual Awakenings International (SAI) honored him as a Circle of Honor honoree for his groundbreaking work on near-death experiences. In 2021, the Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies (BICS) launched an international essay contest for the best scientific evidence of a possible afterlife. With his essay entitled The Continuity of Consciousness, Dr. van Lommel won second prize. In 2022, he became an Honorary Member of the Scientific and Medical Network (SMN), and in 2024 he became an IANDS Advisory Board Member. His book was first published in Germany in 2009 and later released in English by HarperCollins in 2010 Consciousness Beyond Life: The Science of the Near-Death Experience. That same year, the book received the 2010 Book Award from the Scientific and Medical Network.

What is an NDE?

A near-death experience (NDE) is typically a profound, life changing, intensely emotional experience that usually occurs during a clinical crisis and has common characteristics and aftereffects. It is not a dream, hallucination, or mental illness (Greyson, 1983). There are no predictive variables to identify who will have an NDE. They happen to people of all ages, religions, socio-economic groups, cultures, educational backgrounds, and belief systems. They occur under a variety of circumstances such as accidents, near-drownings, illnesses, combat, surgical procedures, and childbirth. Following an NDE, experiencers (NDErs) often display some common aftereffects. Research has established a set of common NDE characteristics and long-term aftereffects. Theories used to explain near-death experiences in purely physical terms have been proven inadequate by NDE researchers and others.

In this episode of Afterlife Revealed, Dani Foffa speaks with Swedish firefighter and near-death experiencer Lasse Gustavson, who shares the extraordinary gas explosion that led to his profound NDE and a remarkable shared-death experience involving his colleague, Leif.

Lasse recounts what he encountered beyond physical life, the challenges of integrating such a transformative experience, and the insights he gained about consciousness, healing, and the nature of reality. He also offers heartfelt guidance for others navigating their own spiritual awakening and NDE integration journey.

A powerful conversation about life, death, and what may await beyond.

In this episode, Dani Foffa interviews Peter Panagore, a former pastor and near-death experiencer whose 1980 NDE while ice climbing in the Canadian Rockies transformed his understanding of life, death, and God. Peter describes his union with the Divine, a profound life review, the vast cosmic Void, and his choice to return to life. His experience erased belief and replaced it with direct knowing. Together, we explore how to integrate an NDE, faith vs. belief, mysticism, spiritual awakening, the Bible through a mystical lens, and even how love and ethics can guide artificial intelligence.

After his NDE, Peter dedicated his life to sharing messages of Love, Light, and the Soul’s eternal nature.

In this episode, Dani Foffa sits down with renowned physicist Tom Campbell for a fascinating deep dive into consciousness, reality, and the nature of existence.

With a career spanning work in advanced technology and complex-system risk analysis for organizations like NASA and the Missile Defense Agency, Tom brings a unique scientific perspective to questions that bridge physics and consciousness. For over 50 years, he has explored altered states of awareness without the use of substances and played a key role in founding the Monroe Institute, where he helped investigate out-of-body experiences in controlled environments.

Tom is the creator of My Big TOE (Theory of Everything)—a groundbreaking model proposing that consciousness, not matter, is the fundamental basis of reality.

In Part 1 of this in-depth conversation, Tom explains his virtual reality model of the universe and why it may offer a better scientific framework than traditional materialist views. He explores how this model addresses major paradoxes in quantum physics and relativity, while also sharing insights into time, free will, and the evolution of consciousness.

If you're interested in near-death experiences, the science of consciousness, or the deeper nature of reality, this episode offers a compelling and thought-provoking perspective.

In this episode, Dani Foffa sits down with afterlife researcher and podcaster Liz Entin. A self-described logical atheist, Liz began investigating evidence for the afterlife and the paranormal in 2015 after her father passed away. Though she remains skeptical and identifies as an atheist, the research she uncovered—from near-death experiences to mediumship studies and consciousness science—left a profound impact on her. Inspired by the work of Dr. Bruce Greyson, Dr. Melvin Morse, Dr. Jan Holden, the Windbridge Research Center, and IONS, Liz shares how her exploration led to deep personal shifts: reduced fear of death, greater purpose, emotional growth, and a conviction that consciousness may survive physical death.

This conversation delves into grief, spirituality, neuroscience, mediumship protocols, and the possibility of consciousness beyond the brain. Liz reflects on what she’s learned during years of investigation and offers thoughtful advice for those grieving as well as those who remain skeptical.

Liz Entin is the host of the WTF Just Happened?! podcast and leads “Science and Spirituality” private events, where small groups can learn about afterlife research and receive readings from scientifically tested evidential mediums.

In this episode, Dani Foffa sits down with IANDS President Dr. Jan Holden to explore some of the most compelling questions in near-death experience (NDE) research. Dr. Holden shares groundbreaking insights into veridical perception, lucid awareness during cardiac arrest, and what current science suggests about consciousness operating beyond the brain.

Together, they dive into how NDE research connects with after-death communication, shared-death experiences, and near-death-like experiences that occur without clinical death. Dr. Holden discusses why these cases point toward consciousness as fundamental and possibly eternal, and how we may be witnessing a global shift from a purely material worldview to a more spiritual and interconnected understanding of reality.

She also offers practical guidance for therapists, clinicians, and healthcare providers who support experiencers, shares her own ketamine-assisted transformative experience, and reflects on how decades of studying NDEs have shaped her views on life, death, and the deeper nature of existence.

About Dr. Jan Holden Dr. Holden is Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Near-Death Studies, Professor Emerita of Counseling at the University of North Texas, and a leading expert on NDEs, after-death communication, and transpersonal experiences.

In this episode, Dani Foffa talks with journalist and coma expert Alan Pearce. What happens when someone is placed in a medically induced coma? Does consciousness go blank — or enter other realities? Alan shares his groundbreaking research into what people actually experience during comas, revealing powerful parallels with near-death experiences (NDEs), dark retreats, and expanded states of consciousness. From stories of heaven-like peace to unusual alternate realities, Alan uncovers a hidden world that challenges everything science thinks it knows about the mind, memory, and the soul. Alan also shares how his research transformed his view of death — especially after the loss of his daughter — and why he now knows that we don’t die. He reflects on the parallels between comas and NDEs, the medical challenges of inducing prolonged comas, and the aftereffects and insights he has gained through his research, so be sure to watch until the end!

Alan Pearce is a broadcaster and former BBC correspondent who has worked with publications such as Time Magazine and The Sunday Times. He has also authored several books, including “COMA and Near-Death Experience” which explores the extraordinary states of expanded consciousness that arise during comas.
