Coma as a Window into the UnconsciouswithAlan Pearce

Books Mentioned In This Interview

Alan Pearce is a journalist, broadcaster, and former BBC correspondent. He is coauthor of Coma and Near-Death Experience: The Beautiful, Disturbing, and Dangerous World of the Unconscious, coauthor of Deep Web Secrecy and Security and Make Your Smartphone 007 Smart, and author of Deep Search – How to Explore the Internet More Effectively and Deep Web for Journalists – Comms, Counter-Surveillance, Search: The Digital Journalists Handbook. His website is alanpearce.com.

Alan shares that people who have been in a coma can report deep and vivid inner experiences, despite the widely held belief that they are not capable of having any level awareness. These people are frequently dismissed and told they are hallucinating, delirious, or having false memories. If coma survivors were debriefed there may be greater understanding of levels of consciousness, possibly other levels of existence, and past lives.
