Richmond IONS September Meeting Program
“Near-Death Experiences in Childhood and their Lifelong Impact.”
Our September 21, 2019 program will feature a talk by P.M.H. Atwater, L.H.D., world-renowned Charlottesville author and NDE researcher. She will speak about her latest book, which was just published, The Forever Angels (September 3, 2019).
Celebrating the release of her latest book, P.M.H. Atwater will share her groundbreaking study of the lifelong effects of near-death experiences in the newly born, babies, toddlers and children up to age five. Drawing on interviews and communications with nearly 400 childhood experiencers, both fully matured and young, P.M.H. will share their accounts of what it is like to be alive on the other side of death, as well as what makes them different from others.
How Early-Life Near-Death Experiences Are Different
Moreover, P.M.H. will explain how, in contrast to adult experiencers, child and infant experiencers of near-death states cannot compare “before” with “after” as adults do because they don’t have a “before.” As a result, the world of these “forever angels” is the life continuum, a stream of consciousness that always has existed and always will.
Consequently, integrating “where they once were” with “where they now are” is a lifelong challenge. Examining the “forever angels” memories of the womb, birth, early childhood and the other world, Atwater investigates the wide-awake consciousness of babies being born, the vivid recall of mature childhood near-death experiencers and how memory of the life-continuum never fades, nor does the desire to go back.
P.M.H also will explore how those who have a near-death experience very early in life, or even in utero, grow up “different” – sometimes geniuses, sometimes lost, yet unusually psychic and smart, all at the same time.
Her research reveals how these experiences and a knowledge of the afterlife affect the individual in many areas, including family life, dating, health, education, and spirituality, as well as increasing the experiencer’s potential for thoughts of suicide, out-of-body experiences and PTSD symptoms.
The Forever Angels is filled with surprises, as will be Ms. Atwater’s talk about it. We are blessed to have her back on our stage once again, and grateful for it.
