Yeah.

Right, right. So many things you've said, Jeremy, are so typical of near-death experiences, having no sense of time, feeling the love, feeling like you don't really need the body and all its restrictions. But let me ask you, with all this new understanding, how does it change your day-to-day interactions with people?

Right, right. Is that true? People often say that it was designed specifically for them, like they had a role in creating it for them. And maybe that's just the way they perceived it. We all perceive the same experience in different ways. That's right. So maybe it's just what they take back from the experience is what's relevant to them.

Right, right. Yes. If you and I took a plane to Paris, we'd come back with very different memories because we have different interests. Even if we were on the same plane. Exactly. Absolutely.

Oprah, I've known Mary for a number of years, and what you don't see in this interview is that she's a down-to-earth, no-nonsense orthopedic surgeon who is very much making her career in this world by treating us, our physical bodies. And yet she's been aware for decades of this other world that we're part of as well that's more important than the physical.

Well, that first episode with Holly was just a fluke. And I thought, well, you know, she's a psychiatric patient. Who knows what's really going on? Yeah. This has got to be an explanation. So I started collecting other cases of people who had come close to death or been pronounced dead and had these fantastic stories to tell. And I was trying to find some consistency in...

Are they related to oxygen deprivation? Are they related to drugs? Are they related to heart arrhythmias? You know, what's going on with these people? Over the last 50 years, we've talked to thousands and thousands of people, done some physiological measurements on people when they were close to death. We found that none of these simplistic hypotheses turns out to be true.

It's not oxygen deprivation. It's not drugs. It's not endorphins being produced by the brain. It's not erratic electrical activity in the brain or the heart. These things just don't explain what's going on.
