What is a near‑death experience and how did Scott’s tragedy begin?

Mark Gagnon 0:00
What if death isn't the end? And what if someone still living could travel part of the way with you? In 1981, Dr. Scott Taylor experienced a tragedy. His girlfriend passed away in an accident, and just a few days later, he watched his girlfriend's seven-year-old son die in a hospital room. And at the moment that the boy's heart stopped, Scott says that he saw the child's deceased mother return, lift him from his body, and lead them both into a realm of overwhelming love and light. But Scott wasn't the only person in that room who experienced it. 15 years later, another family member independently described virtually the exact same journey. What happened? Well, today we explore shared death experiences, the three kinds of light that people report encountering in the afterlife, what happens during a life review, and the evidence suggesting that consciousness may exist beyond the brain.

We also discuss reincarnation, hellish near-death experiences, remote viewing, and whether binaural beats can help ordinary people access altered states of consciousness. If you are interested in what may happen when we die, well, this is the episode for you. So sit back, relax, and welcome to camp.
Dr. Scott Taylor 1:18
Dr. Scott Taylor, how are you? I am awesome. And thank you for the invitation because it's lovely being here, smelling the campfire.
Mark Gagnon 1:26
Oh, thank you.
Dr. Scott Taylor 1:26
Listening to all the little crickets in the background. This tent is amazing.
Mark Gagnon 1:32
I appreciate you saying that. We spent a long time building it out in the woods of upstate New York and we, you know, we had to block out the sounds of the crickets, you know, just so, you know, it's a cleaner audio experience between us. That's true. Yeah, the audience is always good. How do you get them to behave? Yeah, exactly. That's why I do so much mysticism here. You know what I mean? We've got to figure out how to control nature. Well done. Yeah, we work with the local natives too, and they're able to quiet them. They have some type of trick or something. I don't know exactly how it works. I'm very excited to chat with you. There's a few things, I guess, in life that have kind of brought us together in a way.
Mark Gagnon 2:03
Not only the invitation to come on, but we were supposed to speak in March of this year. And in that window, my sister passed away. And you were very kind and thoughtful to write me a note, which I really appreciated. But it was just strange kind of like doing research and prepping for our conversation and then having to cancel the conversation to then deal with the reality of the research I was doing and dealing with in real time. It was a bizarre thing. And in a way, even in kind of doing research and thinking about death, it was a helpful preparation. So thank you from afar for being there.
Dr. Scott Taylor 2:34
And I'm sorry for your loss. I get from you that she was really a
Mark Gagnon 2:39
remarkable person. The best. She's awesome. And so we'll chat about that and sort of that whole experience, which is a very strange thing to go to see someone die is bizarre. But your work is fascinating. Now, to take us kind of through the arc here, you have a very remarkable experience that happened to you. a shared death experience. But before we jump to that, I just want to get everyone on board. What is a near death experience?
Dr. Scott Taylor 3:05
Oh, a simple explanation of a near-death experience is that the body has some sort of massive physical trauma. Car accident, maybe it happens in childbirth or heart attack. Usually those are big causes. And the body dies. And when that happens, our non-physical body, our consciousness leaves, goes up into the non-physical world, has some sort of an adventure. And then the wonderful people back here on Earth, the EMTs with their paddles or the surgeons or whomever, they reanimate the body. the consciousness comes back into the body. And then the person who did that was able to tell about their adventure that they had in the non-physical world. So in most cases, the body dies and and it's reanimated and people get to come back and talk about what it was like to be dead.
Mark Gagnon 4:14
Interesting. The first time I heard about this phenomenon, and I imagine a lot of kids that go to Christian school, like I was raised Catholic, went to a Presbyterian high school, and they would tell us stories of people that die, go see Christ,
