Far from a run-of-the-mill manual, “How to Be Unprofessional At Work: Tips to Ensure Failure” takes a unique approach to professionalism, offering a glimpse at what NOT to do in the workplace. Each tip outlines a specific unprofessional action and contrasts it with the appropriate professional behavior.

Deep Dives in Extraordinary Times - A podcast with Marie Trout

Lisa Smartt is an author of best-selling books, a poet, and a linguist. Lisa's research on the Final Words Project has broken new ground. Realizing that her father's language went through a personality change when he was close to dying, Lisa decided to research a missing area of our knowledge base: the language of the dying. Her book, Words at the Threshold catalogues and analyzes some of the patterns of liminal language. Since 2013, she has worked closely with Raymond Moody (who coined the phrase and conducted initial research on Near Death Experiences and who is the author of the book Life After Life). In this podcast, we also talk about the many little deaths each of us go through in life - when relationships end, when circumstances throw us off, and when we lose someone. Ultimately, we talk about the potential for transformation when we - again - find, and connect to, the light. http://www.finalwordsproject.org/ https://lifeafterlife.com/book-coaching/ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/marie-trout/message

And Lisa Smartt, literacy expert and the best-selling author of a brilliant book on final words called Words at the Threshold, about their elevating new project, The University of Heaven. And that's just what I want to talk with them about, about life beyond life and answers to life's greatest questions from near-death experiences, shared death experiences, and even after-death experiences.   Key Points Discussed:  How Dr. Moody learned about near-death experiences. What happened when Dr. Moody went to medical school after becoming an expert on NDE's. How did Lisa Smartt get interested in people's final or dying words? What can we learn from the language of nonsense – people's last words, or words of delirium? What can we learn about life, and life after life, from Near Death Experiences? Who is Anthony Cicoria and what happened with his near death experience? What are the different levels of experiences people have with NDE's? What are some of the common things that take place in NDE's? What does it mean that death is a transition into another reality? Are people who have had NDE's on a mission when they come back? What can we learn from early greek philosophers about NDE's? What can we learn from Plato and the cave allegory about near death experiences? What happened to Carl Jung and how did it change him? What do people start saying before they die? What is a living dream and what can we learn from it? What does it mean that final words has meaning and patterns to it? What happens to people when they're out of their body? What do we realize when we leave our bodies? What do near death experiences teach us about life? What are shared death experiences?

Lisa Smartt is the author of Words at the Threshold, a book dedicated to the final words of the dying. When Lisa's father became terminally ill with cancer, she began recording his conversations and noticed that his personality showed some curious changes. Once a skeptical man with a secular worldview, he developed a deeply spiritual outlook in his final days — a change that was reflected in his language. Lisa came from a background of linguistics training and majored in linguistics at UC Berkeley so this provoked her to track his final words. http://www.finalwordsproject.org/

By paying attention in the ways she recommends, we can hear more of what’s being said.

Raymond Moody, MD, PhD In 1975, coined the term near-death experience in his book Life After Life. For half a century,  Dr. Moody has researched some of life’s greatest mysteries. As both a PhD in philosophy and an MD, Dr. Moody has had a strong interest in how medical realities intersect with the ineffable realm of philosophy. In his multiple roles as author, professor, public speaker and grief counselor, he has heard thousands of accounts of near-death, shared-death and after-death experiences. Lisa Smartt, MA, is a linguist, educator, and poet. She is the author of Words at the Threshold: What We Say When We’re Nearing Death (New World Library 2017). The book is based on data collected through The Final Words Project, an ongoing study devoted to gathering and interpreting the mysterious language at end of life. She has worked closely with Raymond Moody, guided by his research into language, particularly unintelligible speech. They have co-facilitated presentations about language and consciousness at universities, hospices and conferences. https://www.theuniversityofheaven.com

Hello Beautiful Light-filled Souls! If you don't know me, I'm Tricia Barker, and I have a YouTube channel called Near-Death Experiences: Healed by the Light and a memoir titled Angels in the OR: What Dying Taught Me About Healing, Survival, and Transformation. This is the audio from one of the early videos I uploaded to YouTube about three years ago. It discusses common psychological/spiritual changes after a NDE including becoming less materialistic, experiencing out of body episodes, psychic abilities, increased intuition, childlike states of love for all people, and electrical sensitivities and energy surges. Most NDErs immediately feel like an immortal soul residing in a finite, material form. Many NDErs no longer fear death and want to be of service to others, if only to remind others of their connection to the world beyond form. In many ways, NDErs become more childlike and have to learn how to live again as many of the old rules for living no longer apply or make sense. They have to integrate a profound experience into the reality of their day to day lives. My memoir , Angels in the OR, is available in several outlets as an e-book, paperback, and Audible. You can get a free trial of Audible for 30 days if you haven’t tried Audible. https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Angels-in-the-OR/Tricia-Barker/9781642931594 I'm also excited to let you know that I am hosting The Second Annual Online Near-Death Experience Summit with The University of Heaven.

The University of Heaven, an online platform with courses and conversations about near death, shared death and after death experiences, was just launched by Dr. Raymond Moody, PHD, MD, and Lisa Smartt. It is in honor of Dr. Moody's half century of research into these areas and includes contributions from leading edge writers and thinkers ranging from Kenneth Ring to Eben Alexander to Mary Neal to Hearts of Space composer Kevin Braheny. The content will include descriptions of out-of-body experiences, being in the presence of a light, appearance of deceased friends and family members along with a life review and the feeling of unconditional love and spiritual peace. Many of the guest faculty are physicians who bring the dual perspective of being scientifically-minded as well as being spiritually transformed by their research and experiences.

It often sounds like gibberish as our departing loved ones suck in their last breath of life. But those last words may hold the key to their passion and a glimpse into what is on the other side of the veil. In this interview we hear of dying people who speak of great events, crowds of people, loved ones, and even helpful, radiant strangers standing on the threshold. The things we love most often await in our transition. People, with their last words, refer to the big dance they are to attend, or the great art opening, or the golf tournament they are experiencing at that moment. Their passions in this life are brought forward into a vivid beyond-this-world reality- though it may sound like complete nonsense to those listening. One example is a dying Vaudeville Magician who told his hospice worker to witness his greatest magic trick, whispering “Watch me disappear!” He died a moment later! In this joyous and heart warming interview, Lisa Smartt shares enchanted, profound and even silly ways we choose to exit this world as expressed in our final words.   Visit Lisa's site: http://www.finalwordsproject.org/   Subscribe to my newsletter: https://reginameredith.com/join-my-community Support my work on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/reginameredith Join Our Neighborhood: https://www.ourneighborhood.earth/   Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in the following program do not necessarily reflect those of ReginaMeredith.com.

Why is it that people speak differently when they're dying? Lisa Smartt's father had always been a skeptical and rationalist person. But three days before dying, her father announced, "The angels say only three days left now." He spoke of a "green dimension" and his room crowded with people who were unseen. He also spoke in a poetic and metaphoric language, describing the big art show that was approaching and the boxes he had to carry for his ceramicist wife of 54 years. She listened in awe as she transcribed his final words that not only painted a world unseen but were rich in language patterns that appeared to be unique to the end of life. Formally trained in linguistics, Lisa was deeply curious about the language she witnessed. When she discovered little or no research had been done into people's final words, she established The Final Words Project (2014)  with Dr. Raymond Moody to learn more. Raymond, who coined the term near-death experience, has had a lifelong interest in language and joined Lisa on this exploration into last words. Her book, Words at the Threshold, offers the early findings of their investigations.   Special Guest: Lisa Smartt http://www.finalwordsproject.org/   Creator & Host: Ashton Szabo www.anatomyofliving.com   Sound Engineer: Zach Cooper   Producer: Benn Mendelson www.sivanaspirit.com www.sivanapodcast.com   Enter to win our weekly contests at: www.sivanaspirit.com/contest/

I have had many guests on my show who had a near-death experience or who wrote about other's experiences of being on the other side and coming back. No one, however, has focused in on the words of those near death. This is so unique that I want to quote my guest: I listened in stunned silence as my skeptical and rationalist father described seeing angels in his last days of life. Three days before dying, he announced, 'The angels say only three days left now.' He spoke of a 'green dimension' and his room crowded with people who were unseen to me. He also spoke in poetic and metaphoric language, describing the big art show that was approaching and the boxes he had to carry for his ceramicist wife of 54 years. Some might think he was hallucinating. Others might realize that he was seeing the next chapter in his existence and preparing to move forward without fear.
