Near-Death Experience Links
The Best NDE Links on the Internet

Many near-death experiencers have observed a "web" or "network" of interconnecting light existing above and around the globe unseen by humans. This "web" of light has also been described as a "grid" and a "matrix."  Here are a few examples: [1], [2], [3], [4]. From these near-death insights, I believe the Internet will eventually become a physical manifestation of this invisible spiritual "web" surrounding the globe. Such an Internet will allow people to access information and communicate with other people in a way never thought possible. These near-death concepts of a "grid," a "web," and a "matrix" all have applications in computer science and physics (see "grid computing," "cloud computing," and "Matrix Theory"). Current trends reveal the Internet gradually becoming a "virtual reality" existing mostly or entirely in "the cloud" - a technology which will make personal computing devices obsolete and provide everyone access to vast amounts of information practically instantaneously and nonlocally. But until then, here are the best NDE related links on the web.

Nour Foundation - www.nourfoundation.org

The Nour Foundation seeks to study, explore, and stimulate an objective and intelligent discourse on existential questions from an unbiased and interdisciplinary perspective that is rooted not only in theories, but in shared commonality of personal experience as well. Through a multidisciplinary and integrative approach that blends the sciences and the humanities, the Nour Foundation seeks answers to the age-old existential questions of humankind: Who are we? Where have we come from? Why are we here? And where are we headed? The Nour Foundation funds an important NDE research project called The AWARE Study.

The Institute for the Scientific Study of Consciousness (ISSC) - www.spiritualscientific.org

ISSC was founded in 1979 by Charles Tart, PhD, the Grandfather of Consciousness Research, who did pioneering research, inspired several generations of fellow researchers and served as a sounding board and guiding light. ISSC is currently led another pioneer, Dr. Melvin Morse, who specializes in childhood NDEs. Their guiding principle is to be a part of changing our current culture and intellectual paradigm so that grieving parents can trust their own spiritual visions. ISSC believes that spiritual visions contain the seeds of grief resolution, if only they can be understood and trusted by those who experience them.
