April 10, 1998: NDEs, OBEs, & Lucid Dreams - Dr. J. Timothy Green
Published 2 years, 1 month ago
Description
Art Bell opens with weather updates from Stan Dale in Australia, who reports alarming signs of a new El Nino building on the heels of the current record-breaking event. Dale notes rising sea surface temperatures east of Japan and warns that the pattern mirrors the early stages of the previous cycle. The conversation touches on the connection between solar activity and ocean heating, drought conditions in Western Australia, and the importance of securing fresh water supplies.
Clinical psychologist Dr. J. Timothy Green then joins to discuss his research into near-death experiences, out-of-body experiences, and lucid dreaming. He presents compelling evidence for the reality of NDEs, noting that children who have them consistently report seeing only deceased relatives and never living parents. Dr. Green argues that NDEs, OBEs, and lucid dreams are all forms of what the ancients called ecstasy, the experience of conscious awareness outside the physical body.
Dr. Green describes his mastery of lucid dreaming and explains how he teaches it as a therapeutic tool for clients facing terminal illness. He recounts a case where shamanic journeying produced verifiable information from a deceased person and discusses the connection between these experiences and the right temporal lobe of the brain.
