This week I'm reading from Donna Thomas's book 'Children's Unexplained Experiences in a Post Materialist World'.'...a groundbreaking work with the potential to fundamentally transform the current clinical practice.' Evelyn Elsaesser, expert of death-related experiences and project leader of an investigation into spontaneous After-Death Communications (ADCs)Historically, children's inexplicable experiences -- from telepathy and conversing with deceased relatives to out-of-body or near-death experiences, and more -- have been theorised through traditional scientific lenses that may not have the explanatory power to account for such experiences. In Children's Unexplained Experiences in a Post Materialist World, Donna Thomas shares research that she and other scholars, past and present, have conducted with children and young people across the world. By placing children's unexplained experiences and views about reality in the contexts of culture, consciousness and the nature of self, this book offers a middleway for explaining these childhood experiences within post-materialist science and philosophy. Thomas suggests that children's experiences could greatly contribute to a new paradigm for understanding the mystery of being human and the nature of reality.BioDonna Thomas is an independent researcher and a Research Fellow at the University of Central Lancashire in the UK. Donna has a PhD in Linguistics and Identity awarded from Lancaster University and teaches postgraduate students in her current role. Donna has researched with children and young people since 2004 in local government, community and academic settings. For the past several years, Donna has been researching the nature of self and unexplained experiences with children, as an independent and academic researcher. Donna has published academic papers and public interest articles and was awarded best paper for her presentation “Child as Alter” in 2019 by the Consciousness and Experiential Section of the British Psychological Society. Donna's research was motivated by an NDE type experience at the age of 15, that led to her experiencing a range of anomalies. This motivated Donna to challenge mainstream systems of thought that label unexplained experiences of children as disorder, without first exploring them with children. Donna works with children and academics across the world, still actively researching children's unexplained experiences and the nature of self. Donna voluntary supports children and young people who find themselves in crisis or who just want to share their unexplained experiences. She volunteers in school settings and runs a website “A Children's Guide to the Unknown”, to develop spaces for children to share their experiences and learn about different ways to understand their experiences.

In the best episode of 'Essentia Readings' yet, Nadia Hassan reads Dr. Donna Thomas's 'Re-thinking identity: Children's experiences of self.' Nadia also introduces us to her young niece, a child who very matter-of-factly states that she is aware, during sleep, of the fact that she is asleep. This suggests that our original, natural sense of self and consciousness, before culture tells us how to think about both, is much different than our adult understanding.
Donna Thomas is a writer, researcher and Research Fellow at the University of Central Lancashire. Her research is around consciousness and the self, especially as experienced by young children. Her website "A Children's Guide to the Unknown" examines what children can teach us about self and reality.
