Short filmTranscript
00:00It's a question that haunts all of us.
00:12What happens when we die?
00:15Suddenly, fear entered our lives.
00:20There are people who have seen the other side.
00:24And it opened a crack in the fabric of reality.
00:29They are no longer themselves.
00:32They are no longer in time and space.
00:36We believe that the end of life is not well investigated.
00:39And more research should be put into it.
00:43Is death the end?
00:45There is no scientific evidence that there is life after death.
00:48Or is there something else?
00:52It was a miracle.
01:05Paranatural.
01:08Life after death.
01:16Christine Stein was 19 years old.
01:19And she was going to help teach in a kindergarten.
01:26She followed the same path every day.
01:32But she was about to start another journey.
01:37That would lead her to face death face to face.
01:49It took an hour and a half to get Christine out of the remains.
02:05It was very bad.
02:07She had a big cut in the aorta and an internal hemorrhage.
02:12It was a miracle that the girl did not die in the hospital.
02:19We were working on the heart to stop the hemorrhage.
02:22And suddenly her heart stopped beating.
02:42At the other end of the world, in Virginia, in the United States,
02:45the Alexander family was about to suffer their own crisis.
02:56On Sunday night we thought that Eden was getting sick.
03:00That he had the flu.
03:02So we did not give him importance.
03:06He was coughing a little bit.
03:09Like the rest of the family.
03:11But that night he slept very well.
03:15But the neurosurgeon, Eben Alexander,
03:17responded with something much more serious than a simple cold.
03:24When I went up to see how he was, I peeked a little.
03:30And he was suffering an attack.
03:36He was writhing.
03:40Just really, really agitated.
03:43And shaking.
03:47And I said, put something.
03:50And he didn't say anything.
03:53And so I called the emergency department.
03:58They took him to the hospital in an ambulance.
04:02At that moment he was very agitated.
04:07And they needed nine people to hold him and put the IV.
04:15Then Dr. Alexander went into a deep coma.
04:23It was very hard.
04:26I remember the first time I went to see him at the hospital.
04:30I remember very clearly that the room was in the dark.
04:39I remember getting close to him and then I found myself standing.
04:44It just looked like his face reflected that he had been left with no life.
04:50He was in a coma all the time.
04:53But once our priest was there and heard it with me,
04:57we heard him scream,
05:00Help me, God, help me.
05:06And I said to our priest,
05:09He's talking.
05:12He's talking.
05:15But those were the last words he said.
05:18The tests revealed that Dr. Alexander had a strange variety of bacterial meningitis resistant to antibiotics.
05:25Ironically, it was a disease that attacks the brain, his medical specialty.
05:30People in his situation only have a 2% chance of survival.
05:38But it is not enough to say that Dr. Alexander is a survivor.
05:44But it was not enough to survive.
05:47One of the doctors said to me that he was really concerned about his mind.
05:54He said that if his body survived, he would be a vegetable,
06:01because his mind would not be there anymore.
06:05That brought me to tears.
06:08Probably that was my worst moment that week.
06:13It was just such a mystery
06:15because they kept on giving him doses of antibiotics,
06:18and it was absolutely not responding.
06:27I definitely thought I was not going to make it.
06:31For the vast majority of time, death is a process.
06:35It's not a moment in time.
06:38Most of us believe that the moment of death is when the brain dies,
06:42and it's probably when you die as a human being.
06:46But that moment in time is not clinically easily delineated.
06:51Then they reach a point where the blood pressure is reduced to zero.
06:56There is no more blood pressure, and the breathing stops.
07:00Normally, the electrical activity of the heart is still maintained.
07:11I was in a hospital in New York,
07:14and the doctor said to me,
07:17and usually, very, very end,
07:19you'll see a few excerpts,
07:21a last breath,
07:25and then, finally, a flat line.
07:31That's when we typically declare someone clinically dead.
07:36There have been situations in which you thought a patient was dead,
07:40but you've been able to reanimate them.
07:43So we're very careful and have to be careful
07:46before we declare someone dead.
07:49A respirator kept Dr. Alexander's body alive,
07:52but meningitis had destroyed it.
07:55He was in a critical condition.
07:58He was in a critical condition.
08:01He was in a critical condition.
08:04He was in a critical condition.
08:07The most disturbing thing was when the nurse came in
08:11and lifted his head up,
08:13and she pointed a flashlight in his eye,
08:16and he made no response.
08:19The pupil didn't grow or shrink.
08:22That wasn't good.
08:24Normally, there's a reaction,
08:27and the pupil shrinks.
08:30It means that this part of the brain is still working.
08:34But the fact that the pupils didn't respond
08:37implied that the bacteria had gone so far
08:40that they had affected the most resistant parts of the brain.
08:48For his family, Dr. Alexander was brain dead.
08:58In Germany, Christian's doctors were also losing the battle.
09:02They couldn't reanimate his heart,
09:05and in a few minutes, his brain would stop working.
09:12We tried to reanimate his heart with a defibrillator.
09:20We gave him several medications.
09:24He had lost too much blood.
09:27He didn't get enough blood to his organs.
09:30I thought I couldn't save him.
09:35Christian's heart had stopped beating,
09:38and many would consider it dead.
09:41However, it seemed that something was happening in his brain.
09:46Suddenly, I saw myself floating on the ceiling of the room.
09:50I saw myself lying on the operating table.
09:53I saw the surgeons, and I heard them talking to each other.
09:57The situation was chaotic,
10:00and I realized that I was between life and death.
10:06I was in a state of shock.
10:09I couldn't believe it.
10:12I couldn't understand what was going on.
10:20To understand near-death experiences,
10:23some researchers focus on the content of those episodes.
10:29A common element of near-death experiences
10:32is what is called extracorporeal experiences.
10:35The person is able to see and hear what is happening,
10:38but from a high perspective,
10:41they can't see what is happening above their body.
10:46And they often describe that the doctors
10:49are frantically trying to bring them back to life.
10:53Medical science has an explanation for what happened to Christine.
10:58For a neurologist, a near-death experience
11:01is nothing more than a crisis.
11:04Christine's brain was in a critical state.
11:08The switches in the brain that control consciousness
11:11didn't work.
11:14And she entered a very strange and unusual state of consciousness
11:18that mixed awake consciousness
11:21with the consciousness of the REM phase of dreams.
11:24When they leave the body,
11:27they begin to traverse a connection
11:30and they begin to travel from what is this life
11:33to what is the life beyond this life,
11:36after this life, outside of this life.
11:40I can't describe very well how I went from floating on the roof
11:43to the special place I went to.
11:49The world in which I found myself
11:52was entirely bathed in a warm and bright light.
11:58I was in a very strange state of consciousness.
12:01I was in a very strange state of consciousness.
12:04I was in a very strange state of consciousness.
12:07I was in a very strange state of consciousness.
12:12The bright light that often accompanies
12:15near-death experiences
12:18for a neurologist means that the visual system
12:21has been activated very intensely.
12:24And there are many ways to activate the visual system
12:27and among them the most powerful is REM consciousness.
12:31Christine's awareness of that heavenly realm is classic.
12:34Those who live near-death experiences
12:37always talk about dimensions that are not earthly
12:40and often describe them as celestial.
12:44It looked like the earth,
12:47but the colors were much brighter and prettier.
12:50They were beautiful.
12:53And the floor looked like cotton, warm and soft.
12:56I know because I was barefoot.
13:04I wore a long, pale blue dress.
13:07It was very beautiful.
13:10It seemed strange to me because I didn't have any dress like that.
13:20We couldn't revive his heart.
13:25The medication and the shock treatment didn't work.
13:28It was hell.
13:31We had to give him a manual cardiac massage.
13:37But we couldn't reactivate his circulation.
13:45I remember asking God to help us
13:48because I saw that we could save that girl.
13:51In Dr. Alexander's hospital room,
13:54there was also little hope.
13:58But then...
14:06On Friday, the fifth day,
14:09I felt that he was trying to save me.
14:12I felt that he was trying to save me.
14:15I felt that he was trying to save me.
14:18I felt that he was trying to save me.
14:24He was trying to open his eyes.
14:29It was amazing.
14:37He actually opened his eyes
14:40and took the tube out of his mouth
14:43and then he was able to breathe on his own.
14:47The doctors said that they had received help from above.
14:50The doctors said that they had received help from above.
14:58We hardly knew what to do
15:01except to enjoy the miracle that he was still with us.
15:09But soon the family realized that,
15:12despite the miracle, something was wrong.
15:16Even from the first moment I started talking to my father,
15:19even from the first moment I started talking to my father,
15:22I realized that something wasn't right.
15:25He almost seemed like a zombie.
15:28He wasn't the same person.
15:31He didn't have the same amount of life that he had before.
15:34He wasn't the same person.
15:37He didn't have the same amount of life that he had before.
15:40That was what scared me the most.
15:43Did he have to pay such a high price?
15:51In the German city of Koblenz,
15:56Christine was going deeper and deeper
15:59into her near-death experience.
16:02I heard someone calling my name.
16:05I looked in that direction
16:08and I saw two people approaching me.
16:14I recognized them,
16:17although I had never met them.
16:20They were my grandparents.
16:23I had only seen them in pictures
16:26because they had both died a long time ago.
16:34There are many near-death experiences
16:37in which they say they meet someone
16:40who is a relative of the deceased or someone in the family,
16:43even a dead relative
16:46whom they never met
16:49and who died before they were born.
16:54I realized that I was in heaven.
16:57I knew it because I had found my dead grandparents
17:00and as a child I learned that when someone dies,
17:03they go to heaven.
17:06And what other place could it be?
17:10What kind of thoughts do you have
17:13when someone is about to die?
17:16It seems very natural that you think of your loved ones,
17:19both alive and dead.
17:23Very often in these unearthed celestial dimensions,
17:26people interact with people
17:29they met in their earthly lives.
17:32But with one important difference,
17:35even if those people were chronically ill and died,
17:38they were always in good health
17:41when they are found in near-death experiences.
17:47In addition to my grandparents,
17:50I recognized two more people among the crowd.
17:53Both had been sick and had died,
17:56but in heaven they were healthy.
17:59And the same can be said of all the people there were.
18:02They were overflowing with happiness, smiling.
18:08So I understood that all the dead
18:11were in a very happy place.
18:17Christine had a peaceful vision of heaven.
18:20Dr. Alexander says that he also undertook a journey
18:23during his coma,
18:26but it was very different from Christine's.
18:33I was underground,
18:36with suffocating heat,
18:39full of mud and dirt.
18:47I had no memory of my life.
18:50I had no words.
18:53I could not speak.
18:56There was only a monotonous sound,
18:59like machinery,
19:03I had the feeling
19:06that there were black and fine roots
19:11that went back many years,
19:14even to eternity.
19:26A few percent of near-death experiences
19:29contain creepy images
19:32that frighten those who live the experience.
19:35We do not know why some people
19:38have terrifying near-death experiences
19:41and others do not.
19:44It seems that they have nothing to do
19:47with the previous lifestyle of the individual,
19:50or their beliefs, or anything like that.
19:53While the doctors tried to save Christine,
19:57there is often a dialogue
20:00with the people she meets,
20:03who tell her to return to her earthly body.
20:06My grandparents told me
20:09that the time had not yet come for me,
20:12that I had to come back
20:15and fulfill a great mission in my life.
20:19Finally, I was able to apply a bandage
20:22on the crack of the aorta
20:25and we recovered a little blood pressure.
20:31Then he beat his heart again
20:34and we stabilized the circulation
20:37with transfusions of blood and medication.
20:43I looked at the operating table again
20:47and heard the doctor say,
20:50we did it, we saved the girl.
20:57I cried when my grandparents said goodbye
21:00because I wanted to stay with them in heaven.
21:16About two hours later,
21:19we finished the operation.
21:22Christine was stable.
21:25But we did not know
21:28if we had acted in time
21:31or if she had suffered brain damage.
21:34We did not know
21:37if she had suffered brain damage.
21:40We did not know
21:43if she had suffered brain damage.
21:49I remember crying during the recovery.
21:55It is very unusual.
22:00Normally people do not wake up covered in tears.
22:09Christine recovered
22:12because she had had a revelation.
22:18I know what I experienced.
22:21I know for sure that I did not dream it.
22:24It was not a dream.
22:27My near-death experience really happened.
22:37I know her well, she is my patient
22:40and she told me about the desperation
22:43we experienced at the operating table.
22:46It is incredible.
22:49But she described it as it happened.
22:54When someone is in critical condition
22:57in a hospital bed,
23:00the medical staff may seem to be in a coma
23:03because they do not move,
23:06but in reality they are in a state of hyper alert
23:09and they know who comes in and goes out.
23:12They see everything with their eyes closed.
23:15And with all this they can form very precise memories
23:18that become part of their near-death experience.
23:24But it is hard to believe that someone
23:27would float two meters above the operating table
23:30and hear everything we said.
23:33It is hard to accept it,
23:36I was scared when she told me about this kind of thing.
23:39I can only talk about near-death experiences
23:42from my point of view,
23:45and since I am a doctor, I have to reject them.
23:48There is no proof.
23:51And everything sounds like nonsense,
23:54with angels singing, bright lights, tunnels,
23:57everything too beautiful to be true.
24:00It has to be some kind of delusion.
24:03Heaven exists, although science cannot prove it.
24:06I can not imagine it, it is reality.
24:13I think most people who say
24:16they have had a near-death experience
24:19is because they have had it,
24:22but I do not think it is real.
24:25It is rather a hallucination caused by a dying brain.
24:29If Christine's experience is a hallucination,
24:32she is not the only person who has had it.
24:43Millions of people claim to have had
24:46near-death experiences.
24:49The term near-death is confusing,
24:52because you do not need to be about to die.
24:55In our research,
24:58we have found that one of the most common sources
25:01of such experiences is fainting.
25:08Near-death experiences can occur under many circumstances.
25:11A very common one is cardiac arrest,
25:14when the heart stops.
25:17Others are car accidents, diseases,
25:20surgical complications.
25:23Most people who have had a cardiac arrest
25:26live a near-death experience.
25:31Dr. Long's research confirms
25:34that almost all near-death experiences
25:37are related to something enjoyable.
25:40And only a small percentage
25:43starts like Dr. Alexander's with an underground nightmare.
25:46I have no memories of my life,
25:49no words, no language,
25:52no knowledge of humans,
25:55no knowledge of this universe.
25:58There was only an underground,
26:01bubbling, fluffy and dark world.
26:04Suddenly, Dr. Alexander's experience changed.
26:07And then,
26:11out of nowhere,
26:14a spinning melody of light.
26:25And it opened up like a crack
26:28in the fabric of that reality.
26:32And I was coming out of the darkness
26:35into this beautiful valley.
26:40And I was a speck
26:43on a wing of a butterfly.
26:46I heard choral chants
26:49that reflected like colors
26:52on the clouds
26:55against the deep blue sky.
27:02One of the most precious memories
27:05was the indescribable joy
27:08that I felt
27:11and the unconditional love
27:14of that unconditional love
27:17of that divine presence
27:20coming through the whole scene.
27:23And I understood that I was here
27:26to learn many things.
27:29But you're not here to stay.
27:32You'll be going back.
27:35Many people who have lived
27:38through those experiences
27:41and then they are completely overwhelmed
27:44by how powerful that love is
27:47that constitutes the core of that experience.
27:50And it's just being able to convey that
27:53with the words that we have
27:56to try to express it.
27:59After his coma,
28:02he became more religious
28:05but he became more spiritual.
28:08Eben Alexander
28:11and Christine Stein
28:14almost died.
28:17Their traumatic experiences
28:20included them in a select group of people
28:23who believe they have touched the beyond.
28:26The similarities of their stories
28:29are very striking.
28:32Undoubtedly, past personal experiences
28:35and cultural baggage
28:38influence experiences close to death.
28:41Experiences close to death
28:44are nourished by memories.
28:47It's one of their most prominent characteristics.
28:50Understanding death as part of religion
28:53has been a great influence
28:56in considering
28:59if there is life beyond death.
29:06It certainly is a critical part of religion.
29:09It has been a major factor
29:12in the development of religions
29:15and it has influenced what we believe
29:18and what we think about after death.
29:26There is a cultural conditioning
29:29that has been present since we were born.
29:34If a child goes to a catechesis
29:37and is immersed in religious teachings
29:40it is not surprising that he sees Jesus
29:43if he has an experience close to death.
29:48Dr. Nelson believes there is a more basic reason
29:51why there are similarities between
29:54experiences close to death.
29:57People who have experiences close to death
30:00have the same biological conditioning
30:03that causes those experiences.
30:08In fact, there is a researcher
30:11who may have recorded the brain
30:14while generating an experience close to death.
30:18I'm an ICU doctor.
30:21I take care of patients who are seriously ill.
30:24They are the sickest patients in the hospital.
30:27Some are so sick that they don't respond
30:30to medical assistance and die.
30:33We try to make sure that patients die without pain.
30:36That generally means that we give them
30:39the right amount of analgesics
30:42in order to make sure that the patients are comfortable
30:45and we often use electroencephalograms
30:48that help us supervise their level of consciousness.
30:51When the patient approaches death
30:54the level of consciousness that the electroencephalograms
30:57measure falls to very low levels
31:00and eventually goes to zero.
31:07So at that point they stop breathing
31:10and this patient is considered to have died.
31:16But when a patient dies
31:19the monitor records an increase in brain activity.
31:27The level of spikes that we see
31:30are comparable to those of a person waking up and talking.
31:36This spike pull lasts two or three minutes
31:39and I will impress upon you
31:42that you are sitting next to a patient
31:45who has just died
31:48but has an encephalogram similar to that of someone
31:51who is awake and alert interacting with you.
31:54This is an extraordinary discovery.
31:57The reaction of doctors, staff and nurses
32:00to these spikes is very variable.
32:03Some say that they are afraid
32:06and nobody knows how to explain it.
32:09The spike pull almost always occurs
32:12when the blood pressure drops to zero.
32:15It has never happened to a person with normal blood pressure.
32:20Some of the patients we reanimate later
32:23remember that episode as a near-death experience.
32:31I do think the research makes us think
32:34that it may have a physiological basis
32:37or something that they imagine.
32:44Dr. Alexander does not agree.
32:47Now he believes that we can be conscious outside our bodies
32:50and that explains the experiences he had during his coma.
32:57I am a neurosurgeon
33:00and I have spent more than 20 years
33:03working in prestigious hospitals
33:06and the better I knew my specialty
33:09the harder it was for me to accept
33:12that there could be consciousness
33:15after the death of the brain and the body
33:18because I thought that the brain was necessary for consciousness.
33:24But then I had a profound near-death experience
33:27and the most transcendent thing
33:30was that there was no place in my brain
33:33for it to happen.
33:36Dr. Alexander says that his meningitis
33:39created a very precise simulation of death.
33:42The reason why meningitis is a perfect model
33:45of human death
33:48is that it attacks the entire exterior surface of the brain
33:51the part that makes us human.
33:54The upper layer of the brain, the neocortex
33:57controls thought and language.
34:03These are the tomographies of my third day of illness.
34:06There is pus in the entire surface of the brain
34:09that flows through these cracks
34:12through these small cracks that can be seen here.
34:19Dr. Alexander is convinced that he had conscious thoughts
34:22even though the meningitis had turned off his brain.
34:28The meningitis, by eliminating the neocortex
34:32by deactivating my neocortex during that week
34:35made it impossible for my brain
34:38to live such an incredibly rich experience
34:43which suggests that it is possible to enjoy a full consciousness
34:46with total independence of the brain.
34:51But Dr. Nelson is skeptical.
34:55There is no evidence that consciousness is possible without the brain.
34:58It is not possible that Dr. Alexander or anyone
35:01can know when he had those memories.
35:04It could have been during his recovery.
35:07He himself admitted that he lost the notion of time.
35:13Dr. Alexander and Christine say that their experiences
35:16close to death changed their beliefs.
35:29But in Hong Kong, there is a woman who says that her visions
35:32close to death caused her miraculous physical changes.
35:39Anita and Danny Morjani were married for seven years
35:42when her life changed forever.
35:48In April 2002
35:51I felt a lump in my left clavicle
35:55and I went to the doctor to have it checked out.
36:01He did a biopsy.
36:04The results came three days later.
36:09We were both sitting in the doctor's clinic
36:12and he just came out and said that he had seen the tests
36:15and that he had Hodgkin's lymphoma, a form of cancer.
36:19I was... I was not... I was actually really scared.
36:25Fear suddenly entered our lives
36:28like never, ever before.
36:35It continued to progress and get worse
36:38and spread throughout my body
36:41for a period of three years and ten months.
36:44I had decided against chemotherapy
36:47because I watched my best friend die
36:50and my husband's brother-in-law die
36:53while I had chemotherapy.
36:56And it appeared to me that it was chemotherapy
36:59that was actually killing them.
37:05Anita continued alternative treatments
37:08but it got worse.
37:11My lungs were filled with fluid.
37:14I was breathing.
37:17I had open scars on my skin.
37:20I weighed about 80-80 pounds
37:23because my muscles were very deteriorated
37:26and so I just started to accept
37:29that the fact was that I was going to die.
37:36Anita ran out of time
37:40On the morning of February 2, 2006
37:43I didn't wake up.
37:52The oncologist told me that it was his last hours
37:55that he would not live until that night
37:58and that if he had to let someone know
38:01to call him now.
38:04And I think it was at that moment
38:08I guess you could say that I felt like
38:11I was being drained for the rest of my life.
38:16During that night, Anita seemed inert
38:19but her mind was a whirlwind.
38:23During this experience
38:26I felt as though I crossed over to another dimension
38:32where I became aware of things
38:35very far from the hospital where I was in.
38:44Anita has clear memories of life after death that she saw.
38:49I saw my best friend who had died of cancer.
38:55I felt guilty for not having been with her
38:58in her last days because I also had cancer
39:01and it was too painful to see her die.
39:06When I met her in another dimension
39:09I all of a sudden felt her unconditional love
39:12and her understanding.
39:15She completely understood why I wasn't there for her
39:18and it was just really a great relief for me.
39:29I was given a choice as to whether to go back
39:32or whether to go on to death.
39:36At first I absolutely wanted to go on to death
39:39because the other dimension was so amazing.
39:42It was just so beautiful.
39:45And also because I didn't want to go back to a diseased body.
39:48But then the next thing I realized
39:51was that if I decided to go back into my body
39:54my body would heal a lot faster.
40:02My best friend seemed to say to me
40:05go back and live my life without fear.
40:11And it was from that point on that I started to open my eyes
40:14and I started to get out of the coma.
40:19I guess I was one of the happiest moments of my life.
40:22I could feel myself ecstatic.
40:25Probably the happiest person in the world,
40:28in the universe.
40:33But Anita's body still had cancer.
40:38I kept saying I'm going to try.
40:41I know that I'm going to be fine. I don't worry about anything.
40:46My initial reaction was to give her the reason like a fool.
40:49But I was thinking like any professional
40:52that she had suffered brain damage.
40:55She had run out of oxygen.
40:58But Anita's situation took another unexpected turn.
41:02Even though everybody thought that I was in a coma
41:05I didn't realize I was in a coma
41:08because I was aware of everything that was going on around me.
41:13When the doctor walked in, I recognized him straight off.
41:16He was very surprised when I told him
41:19everything that he had done on me.
41:22He was very surprised.
41:25He asked me how he knew I was in a coma.
41:28He began to tell us about the things that had happened to him.
41:34And right away we realized that they were not very normal.
41:43They were not normal, but also miraculous.
41:49Everybody was very surprised because in four days
41:52my tumor shrunk by 70%.
41:55This is something that only happens in one case out of every 100.
42:01And in three weeks I couldn't find any traces of cancer
42:04in any of the tests.
42:16There are medical manuals that describe how rare it is
42:19that a malignant tumor spontaneously remits.
42:22It's something that only happens in one case out of every 100,000.
42:25And the remission means that the cancer is reduced.
42:28But for it to completely disappear is much rarer.
42:33Several doctors studied my case
42:36and each doctor found a different explanation.
42:41The doctors who treated me thought it was because of their treatment.
42:46But I believe it was my state of consciousness alteration.
42:49As soon as I realized who I really was,
42:52I knew I was going to be cured.
42:58Anita has associated two fortunate events.
43:01Her near-death experience and the remission of her cancer.
43:06But although she lived it at the same time,
43:09it doesn't mean that there is a cause-effect relationship.
43:22Everyone was about to die.
43:26But they recovered their health,
43:29convinced that they had seen life after death.
43:34It was absolutely spectacular.
43:37And I really feel that when I talk to people about it,
43:40that I'm simply reminding them of something
43:43that they already know in the depths of themselves.
43:47Life after death challenges any scientific explanation.
43:52It's a topic that seems esoteric to me.
43:55It's surrounded by anxiety and insecurity,
43:58but it lacks any scientific basis.
44:01Belief in the future is a matter of faith,
44:04not science.
44:09Real or not,
44:12near-death experiences have an effect on the real world.
44:16Life after death gives people hope.
44:19We know, thanks to psychological studies,
44:22that people are much more resistant
44:25to the blows that life gives them.
44:36I'm not afraid to die anymore.
44:39I don't want to say that I don't mind dying tomorrow.
44:42But I want to die when I'm old.
44:45Because I know there's something else after this life.
44:48And I've seen what it is.
44:51And it's a wonderful and comforting thought for me.
