Mystical experiences — such as deathbed visions, out-of-body journeys and communication with the departed — have been recorded since the beginning of human history. These accounts appear in sacred texts across cultures and religions, but did not enter the realm of contemporary academic research until the 1970s, when Dr. Raymond Moody and Dr. Melvin Morse published their findings on near-death experience. Since then, the topic has been widely studied and reports from resuscitated patients have entered the medical mainstream. This lecture will cover topics such as:
~ Historical/inter-religious accounts and cultural influences
~ Communion with the divine or psychotic episode?
~ Current and classic research on NDEs and OBEs
~ The intersection of spirituality and psychology
