In 1975, Dr. Raymond Moody became the first scientist to point out that although each NDE is essentially different, they all share common elements. Researchers have attributed these differences to the cultural and religious background of each individual. However, the study of childhood experiencers age 5 and under defies this conclusion. These kids, as proven by pioneer researchers Dr. Melvin Morse and Dr. PMH Atwater, among others, also display the same commonalities reported by adults despite the fact that they still haven’t had the chance to learn about religion or be socially conditioned. ¿What then determines the differences and similarities found in their near-death experiences?
To answer this question, AJ Parr explores key aspects in quantum metaphysics, non-local consciousness, Jungian archetypes, and interdimensional perception, which served to inspire his Tower of Babel Theory, developed to explain the paradox of why NDEs are so different yet so alike.
In 1991, AJ apparently stopped breathing during his sleep and had a near-death episode in which he left his body, went to the Void, merged with an infinite Light, gained 360-degree vision, and experienced universal Oneness. Driven by a compelling desire to comprehend what had taken place, he spent the next three decades studying the common roots of world religions, during which he wrote over twenty spiritual books. So far, he has interviewed over 100 near-death experiencers and written two specialized books on the subject.
AJ is presently an IANDS facilitator and moderator. He also hosts the AJ Parr Spiritual Journalist YouTube channel and recently participated as a researcher in a groundbreaking scientific mediumship study at the Institute for the Scientific Study of Consciousness.
AJ PARR is an internationally recognized Venezuelan journalist, bestselling author, and Senior Research Associate at the Institute for the Scientific Study of Consciousness (ISSC). His lucid dreams and near-death-like experience led him to study comparative religion for three decades and become a near-death experience journalistic researcher. He has authored over twenty books on topics that include near-death experiences, comparative religion, human consciousness, and spirituality, including two books on NDEs. He is the founder of Grapevine Books and an IANDS facilitator and moderator.
