#187 Children’s Near Death Experiences with Dr. Melvin Morse
Dr. Melvin Morse, M.D. is a graduate of George Washington University School of Medicine and a recipient of the National Service Research Award. He is a recognized authority in the field of near-death studies and has researched near-death experiences in children for eight years. As a medical student, Dr. Morse always pursued his interests in consciousness research. During a neurology rotation at Johns Hopkins, he worked under the legendary Vernon Montcastle and cared for patients who had half their brains removed or split-brain surgery. He assessed the effects such surgery had on consciousness, his first understanding that consciousness does not depend on brain function. He attended lectures by the early pioneers of functional neurogenesis. This is the revolutionary concept that all thoughts and experiences change our brain and our brain is capable of repairing itself.
After an internship at the University of California at San Francisco and a residency in Pediatrics at Seattle Children’s Hospital, he was in private practice of Pediatrics for over twenty years caring for three generations of patients. He retired in 2006 to concentrate on his consciousness research. He was a Professor of Pediatrics at both the University of Washington and the John Bastyr Naturopathic College.
Dr. Melvin Morse has come to understand that by learning the neuroscience of the brain, we can rediscover ancient wisdom long forgotten by the dogmas of religion. After learning about his work, I read his book "Closer To Light", which opened my eyes to the spirituality of children and the reality of near-death experiences, God and eternal life. Listen to learn how Dr. Melvin Morse was transformed from a spiritual skeptic into a real evangelist of the misunderstood world of near-death experiences.
