Imaginal Inspirations with Natasha Tassell-Matamua
David Lorimer's guest today is Natasha Tassell-Matamua PhD, Associate Professor in the School of Psychology at Massey University and Director of the Centre for Indigenous Psychologies in New Zealand. She is of Indigenous Māori, Cook Islands and European descent. Her research focusses primarily on near-death and other exceptional experiences of consciousness and their implications for humanity, as well as the interface between such experiences, spirituality and Indigenous knowledges.
Why do near-death experiences and psychedelics have a transformational effect? – Steve Taylor
Key points: 1) A new study has shown that both near-death experiences and psychedelics can have powerful transformational effects. 2) Both experiences brought a more positive, accepting attitude to death. 3) Although both experiences have different characteristics, they each take us beyond our normal limited awareness, and reveal a wider reality.
David Lorimer on the Unravelling the Universe podcast
The conversation largely revolved around the question: what happens after we die? Topics discussed include Near-Death Experiences, Consciousness, Reincarnation, Psychic Phenomena, and more.
