    Living in a Quantum World.

    Recent paper on NDE memories

    Bear in mind, this doesn't necessarily mean that the experience was outside their heads. However, it does suggest that the experience was 'real'. http://journal.frontiersin.org/Journal/10.3389/fnhum.2014.00429/full

    Interesting ESP experiments.

    Make what you will of the site, it's not particularly credible. However, the scientist in question is presenting her work at this year's parapsychology conference in Concord. So enjoy. http://www.presidentialufo.com/component/content/article/39-articles-a-papers/546-a-nobel-prize-for-woo-woo

    Resource Thread

    http://www.neuroquantology.com/index.php/journal/article/view/591/541 This paper discusses how some kind of 'soul' is possible, even in a purely mechanistic type universe. The 'soul' is likely to be pure consciousness as postulated by the author.
