Jeffrey Long, MD: “God and the Afterlife: The 2018 Update from the Largest Near-Death Experience Study Ever Reported” (Lecture: 1 hr)
Dr. Long has scientifically studied over 4000 near-death experiences (NDEs). He reviews his prior NDE research and the powerful evidence of an afterlife that it revealed, and presents his current groundbreaking investigation of the content of NDEs that address humankind’s “Big Questions,” including Does God exist? Is there an afterlife? and What is the meaning and purpose of earthly life? This is the largest scientific investigation of sequentially shared experiences addressing the Big Questions ever reported, and explores the extraordinarily consistent information, unexplainable by pre-existing cultural or religious beliefs, that resulted.

Raymond Moody, MD, PhD: “Adventures in Reincarnation” (Lecture: 1 hr)

R. Craig Hogan, PhD: “Everyone Has Mediumship Abilities: You Just Have to Learn How to Use Them” (Lecture: 1 hr)
There are at least 16 methods currently in use to successfully communicate with transitioned loved ones — that virtually anyone can follow. These communications can be life changing. You just need to enter a state of mind in which the communication can occur, learn how to receive the mind to mind communication, resist analyzing and judging what comes, and be patient in learning the procedure. This presentation teaches a basic method anyone can use to experience their own afterlife communication. (Follow-up workshop: Session 9b)
