After a dream vision of visiting his friend in the Great Beyond, Martini went on a literary quest to find out what the prevailing science and philosophical opinions on the Afterlife are. He journeyed into Tibetan Philosophy, made documentaries in Tibet and India, and eventually was introduced to the work of the Newton Institute, founded by renowned author and hypnotherapist Dr. Michael Newton ("Journey of Souls").

All Experiencers are Welcome.
We are creating an opportunity for experiencers to sit and share just with other experiencers. So we may discuss how our experiences changed our lives, what obstacles we overcame, and what obstacles we are now facing. Helping us all through the integration to healthier lives.
When we say experiencer, we are talking about any Spiritually Transformative Experience (STE). That includes NDEs, NDLEs, OBEs, Kundalini Experiences, or any form of Spiritual Awakenings.
Our definition of a spiritually transformative experience or STE:
"An experience is spiritually transformative when it causes people to daily perceive themselves and the world profoundly different: by expanding the individual’s identity, augmenting their sensitivities, and thereby altering their values, priorities and appreciation of the purpose of life."
A STE can occur at any time, to any person, under any circumstance.
David Bennett and Rene Jorgenson were on a PBS TV show on March 29, 2011 and I want to share the link with all of you. It was a very interesting show.
David Bennett, leader of the Upstate NY IANDS group, was one of four “expert” panelists on the WVIA PBS TV station program “Call The Doctor” moderated by George Thomas that was broadcast live Tuesday, March 29th. David joined NDE researchers and authors, Dr. Jeffrey Long and Rene Jorgenson on the hour long program. Representing the materialist point of view with frequent references to the work of Susan Blackmore was the fourth panelist, Tim Cannon, PhD, professor of psychology and neuroscience from the University of Scranton.
