EPISODE 2 NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE
A bold inquiry into life after death. Following the success of The Consciousness Connection: Foundations, this second film in the acclaimed docuseries explores one of humanity’s most enduring mysteries: what happens when we die? Does consciousness survive physical death? In The Consciousness Connection: Near Death Experiences, scientists, researchers, and experiencers explore compelling evidence suggesting that death may not be the end — but a passage to a greater reality.
THE MYSTERY OF NDEs
Every person will one day face that moment when life ends— yet a growing body of experiencers and researchers suggest this isn’t the end, but a profound new beginning. This feature-length film explores the near-death experience (NDE) as a window into a possible afterlife. Combining personal testimony, groundbreaking science, and visual re-creations, Near Death Experiences challenges the materialist view of consciousness and delves into NDEs as potentially positive, transformative, consciousness-expanding events. Often with startling evidence of the seemingly impossible. Are these vivid and structured experiences hallucinations from a dying brain — or glimpses into an alternate dimension?
The film examines universal themes of love, connection, transformation, and the survival of consciousness beyond the body.
Soon to be released on Gaia Network and Prime Video in early 2026 the film is in the final stages of post production. Please subscribe below to receive insider information on the premiere and important events discussing the topic with those featured in the documentary.

CONSCIOUSNESS AND NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE
What is an NDE?
Defining the Near Death Experience: common elements, cultural universality, and firsthand witness accounts. Includes interviews from experts at the International Association for Near Death Studies (IANDS) and Near Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF).
Science at the Edge
Leading scientists, medical doctors and acdemics discuss possible neurological, quantum, and metaphysical mechanisms behind NDEs. How these experiences often transform the world views of scientific researchers and experiencers alike.
Beyond the Brain
Introducing theories of non-local consciousness and multidimensional reality. Features Dr. Eben Alexander’s case — a neurosurgeon whose own NDE defied science and redefined his own materialistic view.
Veridical Perception
We examine the documented cases of witnesses seeing their own bodies and others during clinical death. Some of the most compelling evidence of receiving messages from beyond.
Personal Accounts
Hear emotional and incredible first hand accounts from people from all walks of life who experienced NDEs. A young mother died for 45 minutes – A young father lost his entire family to tragedy, A young man encountered his dead grandmother.
Transformative Awakening
The long-term impact of NDEs. How experiencers live with new spiritual awareness, loss of fear of death, and reconnection to source. The life review as a mechanism of spiritual accountability — experiencers describe shifts toward compassion, altruism, and unconditional love.
The Need for a Scientific Paradigm Shift
We explore the need for a radical new way of thinking, wherein consciousness and life after death; the subjective experiences of people who have pierced the veil, and the connections to the physical universe are integrated into new principles of discovery for the next paradigm shift; one that includes both the science of the material world and the science of the subjective, in the Consciousness Connection Near Death Experiences
