I hope you'll join me for a special talk this Saturday at 10am Pacific (1pm Eastern, 6pm UK), and a chance to win a copy of my book The Next World: Extraordinary Experiences of the Afterlife.
Dr. Gregory Shushan, award-winning author and scholar, will speak online on a neglected area of research for the history of religions with profound implications for our understanding of the possibility of an ‘afterlife’ as he presents challenges to both materialist and metaphysical worldviews.
JOIN US for a lecture and discussion on ‘Near-Death Experience and the Afterlife Across Cultures: A Historical Perspective’.
🗓️ Saturday, 27 July 2024
⏰10AM PDT | 6PM BST (UK time)
Description:
In this talk, award-winning author Gregory Shushan, PhD, will review his decades-long research into the historical, cultural, and religious dimensions of near-death experiences. Shushan reveals the symbiotic relationship between such experiences and beliefs about an afterlife, exploring and explaining both differences and similarities across ancient and indigenous cultures worldwide. In addition to being a neglected area in the history of religions, Shushan’s findings have profound implications for the possibility of an actual afterlife and what it could be like, and also present challenges to both materialist and metaphysical paradigms.
