In 2001, he and his fellow researchers published a study on Near Death Experiences in the renowned medical journal The Lancet. He, then, wrote the Dutch bestseller Endless Consciousness in 2007; over 100.000 copies were sold in the first year. [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_column_text]The NDE is an authentic experience which cannot be attributed to imagination, psychosis or oxygen deprivation. After such an profound experience, patient\u2019s personalities underwent a permanent change. In Van Lommel\u2019s opinion, the current views on the relationship between the brain and consciousness held by most physicians, philosophers and psychologists is too narrow for a proper understanding of the NDE phenomenon. The author provides examples and ways that our consciousness does not always coincide with brain functions; that consciousness can even be experienced separate from the body.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”parallax” parallax_content_width=”in_grid” text_align=”left” full_screen_section_height=”no” background_image=”240″ section_height=”352″][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css=”.vc_custom_1508406561729{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 28px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”174″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”custom_link” qode_css_animation=”element_from_fade” link=”\/eindeloos-bewustzijn\/”][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
