The pioneering research of Dr Raymond Moody and Dr Elisabeth Kübler- Ross has contributed to the development of this discipline. Now there are numerous studies being conducted in the area of spirituality and life after death, utilising the latest technologies and scientific methods. Over the years, significant research has been carried out by such luminaries as Dr Erlendur Haraldsson of Iceland University, past-life therapist Dr Morris Netherton, psychologist Dr Peter Ramster,
Professor Lisa Randall
psychotherapist Andy Tomlinson, cardiologist Pim van Lommel, MD, and many others. Is the quest progressing towards a final answer? Probably never: the more answers unveiled, the more questions revealed. Professor Lisa Randall is a theoretical physicist at Harvard University, a leading expert on particle physics and cosmology, and a member of the scientific staff at CERN. She theorises that our universe exists within a universe of many higher and unseen dimensions, and that the laws of nature may be
34 very different in different regions of this socalled multverse. Then, if this is so, the larger hidden dimensions in which our universe exists may influence our own three-dimensional space-time world and its laws of nature. But what is consciousness, one of the most vibrant areas of study in science today? According to Professor Randall( Discover, 29 July 2006):“ Neuroscience is exciting. Understanding how thoughts work, how connections are made, how the memory works, how we process information, how information is stored— it’ s all fascinating. Experimentally, though, we’ re still rather limited in what we can do. I don’ t even know what consciousness is. I’ d like someone to define consciousness.” Right. So if we want to know more about the possibility of the survival of consciousness
