Does consciousness survive death?
Darnella Ford, award-winning author, speaker, and consciousness explorer, joins Justin and Erik on ParaTruth: Reborn to explore one of humanity's greatest mysteries: what happens after we die?
For more than two decades, Darnella has consciously explored out-of-body experiences (OBEs). Following the traumatic loss of a close friend in 2021, those experiences took on an even deeper meaning and eventually inspired her bestselling book, The Next Breath: Life After Loss and Journeys into the Hereafter.
In this conversation, we explore:
• What an out-of-body experience actually feels like
• OBEs versus lucid dreams and near-death experiences
• Whether consciousness can exist independently from the brain
• Encounters beyond the physical body
• Skepticism and spiritual discernment
• Grief after devastating loss
• What may happen immediately after death
• Life reviews, reincarnation and soul evolution
• Quantum Theory and consciousness
• Whether our loved ones truly remain with us
• How contemplating death can change the way we live
Darnella doesn't ask listeners to simply accept her conclusions. Instead, she encourages curiosity, discernment, and contemplation as we explore questions that may not have easy answers.
Join Justin and Erik as belief meets evidence, and we search for the truth beyond human understanding.
Some truths are hidden in the dark. We're here to bring them to light.
