The belief in life after death is one of the oldest, most widespread, and most persistent human beliefs. It can be seen in ancient burial practices, ancient thinkers such as Plato, and ancient and modern religious ideas from around the world. In addition, we now have more data to consider—near-death experiences (NDEs) and deathbed experiences (DBEs).
I have recently become interested in NDEs and DBEs from listening to two interviews given by Dr. Steve Miller, who is a professor and NDE and DBE researcher:
After watching those videos, I read about a dozen books on the topic, several articles, and watched more videos. Then I wrote a few blog posts:

- Part 2: Summary of Key Research Studies
- Part 3: Evidential NDE Cases
- Part 4: Seeing Paradise
- Part 5: Responding to NDEs and Striking Features

Ritchie’s experience is told in the book Return from Tomorrow and you can find videos of him on YouTube.
