Like, okay, you stir up the memory banks of the brain when you die with the gamma and all that stuff.

So, all right, so suddenly I'm five years old and we're playing by the swimming pool.

Now suddenly I'm camping with my buddy at 12.

Yeah, there's a whole array of memories.

That's different than dad showing up.

Like dad showing up saying, come with me into the afterlife.

That's not exactly memory recall, right?

That's something else, right?

And then I started talking to hospice nurses.

And it's a super common experience.

Older people, people dying of cancer in their last days and hours, what are they doing?

They're having conversations with people in the room that no one else can see and

They're having conversations with the dead who are clearly there to take them.

It's OK.

Come with me.

It happened to my mother.

She suddenly scowled in her last hour.

She scowled and looked up at the corner and said, what's he doing here?

And she had a terrible relationship with her brother who had died in his 50s, you know, like decades earlier.

Right.
