I've been listening to Skeptiko since March, hoovering up as many episodes as possible. Really fantastic content. My sincere thanks to Alex and anyone else involved.
I am endlessly fascinated by what these conversations reveal about how the universe might work. But i'm especially interested in what they suggest about how we're meant to live our lives.
The biggest thing I've picked up so far from listening is the idea of the life review. That when we die, part of the arrival-in-the-beyond process involves looking back at how we lived our lives and the choices we made. My question is: what do people learn from this? There are always things that could have been done differently, but how? Do NDEs suggest that we should be more kind and compassionate, less complacent, less angry, more forgiving? Are there any guidelines that can be distilled?
And are there other similar how-to insights?
I would love to see a synthesis of everything along these lines that can be learned from the conversations over the years. If a team is needed to do this research I would be very interested in being a part of that.
