Your heart stops. You float above your own body. You watch doctors try to bring you back. Then you wake up and describe things you shouldn't have been able to see.

This has been reported for thousands of years. Ancient Greece. Battlefields. Modern ICU units. Same experience. Every culture. Every century.

Halley and Blaire cover the full history of out of body experiences — from the ancient world to the AWARE II study, a peer-reviewed resuscitation study that tested whether consciousness survives after the heart stops. We present both sides: the believers who say this is proof of something beyond the brain, and the skeptics who say the brain is just doing what brains do when they're dying.
