Can near-death experiences provide evidence that the mind is greater than the brain? On today’s episode from the archive, host Robert J. Marks interviews Walter Bradley about near-death experiences. Dr. Bradley discusses the mind-body problem and delves into near-death experiences, including common threads, stand-out examples, and even some discussion of near-death experiences in the ancient world. Near-death experiences have gained visibility recently, with several medical studies and the release of the Angel Studios film After Death. A closer look at these unique accounts provide evidence that the mind is greater than the brain.
