A Note from James:Imagine you are dying or you're about to die. Let's say you were hit by a car, you're bleeding out, you're on the way to the hospital but you just have this sense that you're not going to live, and you see visions of someone you knew in the past, maybe a mother or a father, and they're saying, "Don't worry, we're here for you." Come down this light at the end of a tunnel. Does that change your experience of life if you then survive? Well, we're going to hear from Sebastian Junger, who wrote "In My Time of Dying: How I Came Face to Face with the Idea of an Afterlife." And if you don't know who Sebastian is, he's written many books about being a war reporter, his experiences in war zones, and other intense situations. But this is perhaps his most intense book that I've read, where he's not talking about deaths on the battlefield or in a war zone, but his own experience of dying and what happened to him during that experience. It really makes you think. And I've been thinking about it a lot for personal reasons this past week. I hope everybody enjoys it. If you do, please retweet it, share it with your friends, and subscribe to the podcast so all the good little algorithms work for me. Thanks so much, and here is Sebastian.Episode Description:In this compelling episode, James Altucher converses with Sebastian Junger, acclaimed author and war reporter, about his harrowing near-death experience and his exploration of the afterlife in his latest book, "In My Time of Dying." Junger shares the profound and mystifying moments he faced at the brink of death, challenging his atheistic beliefs and scientific understanding. This episode isn't just about a personal encounter with mortality but dives into the larger implications of consciousness, the mysteries of the human mind, and what it means to truly live after facing death.What You'll Learn:The profound impact of near-death experiences on one's worldview and beliefs.The intersection of scientific rationalism and mystical experiences.Insights into the psychological and emotional aftermath of surviving a near-death experience.Theories about consciousness and the potential for an afterlife from both scientific and experiential perspectives.Practical lessons on living a more appreciative and meaningful life after a brush with death.Chapters:00:01:30 - Introduction: Sebastian Junger's Near-Death Experience00:04:41 - The Moment of Crisis: Abdominal Hemorrhage and Medical Intervention00:09:00 - Encountering the Void and Seeing His Father00:14:22 - The Medical Miracle: Innovative Interventional Radiology00:24:26 - Rational Explanations vs. Mystical Experiences00:31:30 - Unexplained Phenomena: Quantum Mechanics and Consciousness00:41:29 - Personal and Philosophical Reflections on Life and Death00:52:30 - The Aftermath: Dealing with Anxiety and Fear00:56:35 - Finding Meaning and Appreciation in Life Post-Trauma01:02:15 - Writing About the Experience: Structuring the Narrative01:05:28 - Final Thoughts and TakeawaysAdditional Resources:Sebastian Junger's Official WebsiteIn My Time of Dying: How I Came Face to Face with the Idea of an AfterlifeTribe: On Homecoming and Belonging by Sebastian JungerWar by Sebastian JungerQuantum Enigma: Physics Encounters Consciousness by Bruce Rosenblum and Fred KuttnerBiocentrism: How Life and Consciousness are the Keys to Understanding the True Nature of the Universe by Robert Lanza ------------What do YOU think of the show?

In honor of ALS Awareness Month, I catch up with 4 people who are in the fight of their life as they battle ALS, a terminal illness that has no cure. My guests are Bernadine Okeke, Taya Jones, Bruce Rosenblum and Zamir Kociaj. I asked listeners, what they were most curious about when it comes to ALS. My gracious guests, open their hearts and answer those questions and more. A few examples, How do you find joy every day, knowing you have a terminal illness? After being diagnosed with ALS, is your faith more or less? Do you see the world differently now? It’s powerful to hear from those who realize their time on earth is more limited due to a fatal disease that doesn’t have a cure. All of us living with ALS, ask you to share this inspiring episode and help bring others into our world. Having others join our fight for a cure will help end this horrific disease and spare future generations to come. Thank you for listening and sharing.

In this episode of the Lit To Life Podcast, Matty and Nick take on the wonderful world of the New Age. We discuss claims of divinity by people, consciousness, christ consciousness, the exploitation of quantum theory, "energy" , the law of attraction, and much more. We didn't get to everything that encompasses the New Age because it pulls ideas from mainly every religion but we hit the foundational arguments which lead further down into reiki, chakras, astral projection, and a host of other practices. If you have questions about any of these topics, feel free to dm us @lit.to.life_podcast and we'll be happy to clarify any points of contention. Enjoy!
