I was sitting outside, sipping a caramel late and had a moment where numerous interests collided like 3 drunken ravers in a mosh pit.

Recent Publication - June 2010

June 9, 2010 | posted by Ryan | Leave a Comment

I have another article coming out on the emotional, cognitive, spiritual, and potential neurophysiological impact of hearing of an exceptional experience, such as the Near-Death Experience. In this article I compare my own research with that of Kenneth Ring’s study from 1995 wherein he discusses how students changed during a course on NDEs. My article is short and fairly easy to read. If you are interested, I would invite you to contact The Windbridge Institute and ask for their June 2010 newsletter called Winds of Change. You can visit them at http://www.windbridge.org/
