Near-Death Experiences, Deathbed Visions, and Past-Life Memories: A Convergence in Support of van Lommel's Consciousness Beyond Life
No full textABSTRACT: This review supports cardiologist Pim van Lommel's continuity claim for human existence in his recently published book Consciousness Beyond Life: The Science of the Near-Death Experience (2010). Van Lommel and colleagues (van Lommel, van Wees, Meyers, & Elfferich, 2001) studied NDEs among 344 Dutch hospital patients who had been resuscitated following cardiac arrest. From their and others' NDE research findings (e.g., accurate perceptions during the arrest period), van Lommel and colleagues concluded that mental activity can take place even in the absence of cerebral function. Extrapolating from this conclusion, van Lommel claimed in Consciousness Beyond Life a fundamental continuity for individual human existence: that death and birth mark not final limits but instead the transition from one state of consciousness to another. In the course of making his continuity claim, van Lommel referred to other topics such as deathbed visions and past-life memories. In addition to reviewing NDE research, this article reviews research and illustrative responses pertaining to these related phenomena. A convergence of corroborative evidence is consistent with van Lommel's continuity claim. KEYWORDS: Near-death experience; deathbed vision; past-life memory; consciousness; non-locality John C. Gibbs, Ph.D., is Professor of Developmental Psychology, Psychology Department, The Ohio State University, 1835 Neil Avenue, Columbus, OH 43210. He thanks Jonathan Gibbs, editor Jan Holden, Melvin Morse, Denis Purcell, Lea Queener, Ken Ring, Mike Sabom, Carol Stover, Carisa Taylor, and JohnAlexis Viereck for helpful comments on a preliminary version of this article. Reprint requests should be addressed to Dr. Gibbs at [email protected]. JOURNAL Of NEAR-DEATH STUDIES Pim van Lommel is a distinguished cardiologist, researcher, author, and lecturer with a particular interest in near-death experiences (NDEs). With colleagues As van Lommel acknowledged, the continuity claim for human existence is "nothing new" (p. 82). The view of humans as having a continuing, non-material essence has found advocates throughout human intellectual and religious history. The third-century neoPlatonist philosopher Plotinus posited that humans have souls that originate from and return to a timeless, unitary realm of light and truth. The continuity claim has also found expression in the works of philosophers, theologians, and mystics such as Baruch Spinoza, Meister Eckhart, Paul Tillich, John Shelby Spong, and Kahlil Gibran. Reincarnation in particular has been thematic to Eastern religions or traditions (Hinduism, Jainism, Tibetan Buddhism), ancient Egypt, most tribal traditions, Christian Gnosticism, Jewish mysticism, Norse mythology, and spiritualist literature such as that of theosophy and New Age. Van Lommel is also not the first to base the continuity claim on research findings in psychology and other disciplines. Transpersonal psychologist Jenny Wade (1998) used NDE and ostensible prenatal memories to suggest that a transcendent source of consciousness "predates physical life at the moment of conception and survives it after death" (p. 249). Radiation oncologist Jeffrey Long (2010) concluded from a large online NDE self-report data base that "death is not an end but a transition" to an afterlife (p. 201). Edward Kelly and colleagues (Kelly, Kelly, Crabtree, Gauld, Grosso, & Greyson, 2007) argued the need for a twenty-first century psychology that can adequately accommodate many currently anomalous phenomena, including NDEs and deathbed visions. Their prototype toward a new psychological paradigm retrieved the insights of two of psychology's founding figures, Frederick W. H. Myers and William James, and en-JOHN C. GIBBS 305 compassed contributions ranging from process theology to quantum physics. Yet something importantly new pertains to van Lommel's NDE research-based articulation of the continuity claim: in two words, The Lancet. The prior publication of his and colleagues The challenge meets understandable opposition. How can van Lommel or anyone justifiably use near-death studies to make claims regarding death and beyond? It has been said that an extraordinary hypothesis requires for its acceptance extraordinary evidence-and the continuity hypothesis would certainly seem to be extraordinary. Has not neuroscience established that mind or consciousness is totally a function of the brain-and hence cannot possibly continue once brain activity has ceased? What evidence could be extraordinary enough to challenge this established materialist view of mind qua brain-let alone support a leap into a claim for the existence of an afterlife? Does not such a claim drag scholars back to pre-scientific days of baseless belief, dogma, and superstition? Yet as I will show, there is extraordinary evidence. And as the evidentiary base broadens, the existential and ontological claim becomes compelling. Although van Lommel (2010) based his continuity claim largely on NDE studies, he referred also to related existential phenomena such as deathbed visions or "nearing-death awareness" as well as past-life memories. Such related phenomena round out the picture and merit more extensive attention than that afforded in van Lommel's book alone. Accordingly, in this article I primarily review not only NDEs but also deathbed visions and past-life memories (cf. E. f. . I will illustrate the experiential "feel" of these phenomena as well as review corroborative and converging evidence
Cardiac Rehabilitation Intervention and Quality of Life Indicators: A Validation Estimate of Ware's Model
No full textAuthor Institution: Dept. of Counseling & Mental Health Services, University of Toledo, OHAuthor Institution: Dept. of Educational Foundations & Leadership, University of Akron, OHAuthor Institution: Dept. of Counseling, Summa Health System, University of Akron, OHAuthor Institution: Cardiac Rehabilitation Institute, Summa Health System, University of Akron, OHThe present study tests Ware’s (1987, 1990) prediction that patient evaluations of quality of life (QOL) are related to physical ability. QOL data from 302 patients were collected prior to initiation and upon completion of a 12-week cardiac rehabilitation program. Physical ability was measured in metabolic equivalents (METS). Pearson product moment correlation coefficients were calculated for the variables under study. Multiple regression analyses were conducted to test these relationships covarying patient diagnosis, and pre-treatment QOL score and patient demographics. Significant improvements from
pre- to post-CR were found for METs and all QOL variables. Improvements in physical ability were significantly correlated with improvements in physical health related QOL indices, but not with mental health QOL indices. These relationships were present even when moderating variables were co-varied. Improvements in physical ability were predictive of decreased expectations that physical health would interfere with work or other daily activities. As the physical capabilities of our patients increased, they reported feeling less physical pain and were less limited by any pain they did experience. And, increased
physical ability was associated with a brighter outlook on current and expected future health status. These findings provide support for Ware’s theory of QOL

A CITY tiOl.lt. MINE
Those shanties at Thirteenth and
Market street*. Philadelphia, have
b«iong*d to only two families In
1.4 yasrs.
In 1712 Thorns* Leip*r bought j
ths Isnd at public suction from tb*,
mate ot Pennsylvania for 33,G00 to John
Sharp Jr.
Eighty-two years bave passed;
Sharpa descendants still own tb*
property.
Th* century-old building* sre
worthless, but the land baa Increased In value enormously, because th* city hss grown.
la 1232 tb* city contained about
204.000 people. In 1*16 U contained about 1.700.000.
Tbe ass***m*nt for It IS Is 2.101,COO, every cent produced by
the city—not by the Sharps.
In addition to Income, the principal Itself bss gained In value almost
6.275 per cent, or 7C 1-2 per cent
annually on grandfather'* Investment The land Is now Assessed st
6,000.-
000 an sere.
If tb* Sharp* should cash In today they could enjoy an annual Income of fully 33,.*)O0.
The worst feature Is that this
enormous gsln bas been secured not
by service, but even In spite of th*
fact tbst tbey have maintained a
nuisance: for thl* corner ahouid
hav* been Improved forty years ago.
See the pillar to tbe right; that
is John Wsnsmsker'a store. His
building, without tbe ground, is
worth 52,000, at th* same
time the tax on almost an •mail
bouses would be difrsassd. A
heavier sp pi teat ton of site tsx
would levy 5 per day. saving half hla wages,
lt would take blm 2.727 years to
save $2.12S,000, the anm tbe Sharp*
will get from the city of Philadelphia, not for working or for letting
others work, but sa a reward for
defacing and disgracing tb* city.—
