In this episode, Dani Foffa talks to near-death experiencer Doctor Eben Alexander. Eben spent over 25 years as an academic neurosurgeon and had a profound near-death experience at the age of 54, after a severe case of meningitis, which led him to reconsider some of the assumptions materialists have about the nature of consciousness. Dr. Alexander’s profound NDE challenged decades of materialist neuroscience and sparked a global conversation about consciousness, healing, and the nature of reality. Today he is a well-known figure in the field of near-death studies and has authored several books on NDEs. With decades of medical practice and a deep interest in consciousness, Eben offers a unique perspective at the intersection of science, spirituality, and the mysteries of the mind, and in this episode, he discusses what NDEs can teach us about the nature of consciousness, the filter theory of the brain, the future of society, and what NDEs reveal about miraculous healing, so be sure to watch until the end!

Dr. Eben Alexander is the author of Proof of Heaven and Living in a Mindful Universe.

In this episode, Dani Foffa interviews Dale Graff, former director of the U.S. military’s Stargate Project, the government program that investigated remote viewing and psi phenomena.

Graff shares insider insights into the Stargate Project and explains how remote viewing, precognitive dreams, synchronicity, and consciousness research intersect with physics and our understanding of time. The conversation explores whether consciousness can access information beyond space and time — themes often reported in near-death experiences (NDEs), including timelessness and expanded awareness.

Dale Graff, originally trained as a physicist, spent 18 years working in various capacities within what became known as the Stargate Project. In this discussion, he provides a comprehensive overview of remote viewing, explains how the U.S. military studied psi abilities, discusses the nature of time and precognition, and reflects on the long-term effects of studying and practicing psi phenomena.

If you’re interested in consciousness research, remote viewing, the Stargate Project, precognitive dreams, or the scientific investigation of psi phenomena, this episode offers rare firsthand insight.

In this episode, Dani Foffa talks to world-leading NDE expert Dr. Pim van Lommel who explores how NDEs lead to lasting changes—loss of fear of death, belief in a personal afterlife, heightened intuition, and a deep sense of unity, love, and compassion—raising fundamental questions about consciousness beyond the brain. 

Pim worked as a cardiologist at Rijnstate Hospital for 26 years and published several articles on cardiology. He then started his research on near-death experiences (NDEs) in survivors of cardiac arrest in 1986, and he has authored over 20 articles, one book under the title Consciousness Beyond Life, and numerous book chapters on NDEs. He was a co-founder of the Dutch IANDS in 1988. In 2001, his prospective NDE study (the largest in the world) was published in the medical journal The Lancet. In 2005, he was awarded the Dr. Bruce Greyson Research Award by the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS). In 2020, Spiritual Awakenings International (SAI) honored him as a Circle of Honor honoree for his groundbreaking work on near-death experiences. In 2021, the Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies (BICS) launched an international essay contest for the best scientific evidence of a possible afterlife. With his essay entitled The Continuity of Consciousness, Dr. van Lommel won second prize. In 2022, he became an Honorary Member of the Scientific and Medical Network (SMN), and in 2024 he became an IANDS Advisory Board Member. His book was first published in Germany in 2009 and later released in English by HarperCollins in 2010 Consciousness Beyond Life: The Science of the Near-Death Experience. That same year, the book received the 2010 Book Award from the Scientific and Medical Network. In this episode, Dr. van Lommel discusses how he first entered this field of research, what decades of scientific study have revealed about consciousness continuing beyond the moment of death, and the profound insights he has gained along the way, so be sure to watch until the end!

In this episode, Dani Foffa talks to Near-Death Experiencer Cara Currey. Cara is a 4x Near-Death experiencer who works today as a vibrational seer and harmonic guide. As a child, she sang melodies that seemed to come from nowhere, and somehow knew which song would play on the radio before it started. She felt things differently than other people, picking up on undercurrents of emotion and energy and connecting to something deeper in the earth itself. Cara often works in collaboration with Oversoul partners of similar tone including non-verbal autistic members Noah and Adriana Smith. Together, they activate vibrational fields through group resonance, sacred breathwork, temple body coherence, and remote Oversoul transmissions across space and time. She is also involved in research at the University of Washington exploring how consciousness can affect water.
