This week on Here's What We Know, our host Gary Scott Thomas sits down with the author of “Impression of Near-Death Experiences,” Robert ‘Bob’ Christophor Coppes. His book gives an impression of what Near-Death Experiences are like by giving hundreds of quotes from more than 100 experiences from all over the world. They explore Bob’s unexpected journey from a finance background to becoming an NDE researcher and discuss compelling stories that challenge our understanding of life and consciousness. You don’t want to miss this thought-provoking conversation. Tune in now!

In This Episode:

• Bob's Background: Despite having a career in finance and working at the Central Bank of the Netherlands, he developed a keen interest in spirituality and NDEs.
• Bob shares insights about life reviews during such experiences, where individuals relive moments from their lives from multiple perspectives, including those they interacted with.
• Hear our host Gary as he shares a story about his mother's NDE during a lightning storm, where she had an out-of-body experience and was given a choice to return or not.
• Discover cases where people have observed details during their NDEs that were later confirmed to be accurate despite not being conscious or able to see at the time.
• Discusses how many who have had NDEs report experiencing unconditional love—a concept difficult for some to grasp—and explains there is no external judgment; rather, individuals feel empathy towards others affected by their actions.
• Explores how life reviews allow individuals to understand the ripple effect of their actions on others' feelings—emphasizing missed opportunities for kindness as profound learning moments without any external judgment attached.

Bio:
Robert ‘Bob’ Christophor Coppes, based in The Netherlands, is a scientist, author, and NDE Researcher. He is a Board Member of IANDS (That's the International Association of Near Death Studies), and has given keynote talks, and compiled hundreds of quotes from Near Death Experiencers.

With a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Groningen, Bob held roles at the Dutch Central Bank as a banking supervisor, risk manager, and insurance supervisor. Now retired, he supports children with their schoolwork and works with refugees.

Bob's fascination with near-death experiences (NDEs) led to "The Essence of Religions" and "Messages from The Light." His latest book 'Impressions of Near-Death Experiences' includes many of these quotes along with recurring themes of the Near Death Experience.
