b'No one really knows what happens after we die, except of course those who have died and then lived to tell their stories.\\xa0 This week\'s guest,\\xa0Dr. P.M.H. Atwater (http://pmhatwater.hypermart.net/),\\xa0is not only one of the world\'s leading researchers of near-death experiences, she also died three times herself ,\\xa0all in 1977 (http://www.amazon.com/Died-Three-Times-1977-Complete-ebook/dp/B003WQBIM8/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1416529618&sr=1-1&keywords=died+three+times+1977),\\xa0and thus brings her own personal experiences to the subject.\\xa0 Viewed from the perspective of materialism, which says that we are nothing but collections of particles with limited shelf-lives, near-death experiences may seem like so much new age quackery.\\xa0 But Dr. Atwater, in her new book,\\xa0Dying to Know You: Proof of God in the Near-Death Experience (http://www.amazon.com/Dying-Know-You-Near-Death-Experience-ebook/dp/B00P9XQMCI/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1416529338&sr=1-1&keywords=pmh+atwater),\\xa0shows that those who have had near-death experiences tend to bring back common stories, change their lives in similar ways, and\\xa0 have similar psychological and physiological aftereffects.\\xa0 As Dr. Atwater writes, the "pattern of aftereffects is what verifies the experience."\\xa0 Science honors repeatability.\\xa0 So maybe we are not mechanical robots after all, but instead spiritual beings experiencing one level of a multi-dimensional reality. Tune in as Philip and Dr. Atwater discuss the reality of the afterlife.
