There is a point in every person's life when they contemplate, "What happens when we die?" Consciousness Continues seeks answers to this mystery through first-hand accounts of people who have died, were resuscitated, and have vivid memories of the other side. This series will focus on the continuing impact their near-death experience has had on their lives.
Consciousness Continues is an unscripted television series based on the first-hand testimonials of people who have survived a near-death experience (NDE). An NDE is a memory or collection of memories resulting from a stopped heart or cessation of respiration, where the individual is later resuscitated. It is estimated that between 4% and 15% of the global population have experienced an NDE.
Consciousness Continues intricately weaves the accounts of survivors whose near-death experience changed their lives forever. From the events leading up to their deaths, to "crossing over", to the sights and sounds they perceive, to the aftermath and continuing impact of these happenings, Consciousness Continues delves into the beauty and tragedy experienced by those who have glimpsed the other side.
NDE survivors divulge personal stories and offer interpretations of what they saw after death. They reveal intimate details about how their lives and personal philosophies of how to live have changed since the NDE.
Consciousness Continues satisfies more than a morbid curiosity among audiences: it also presents the hardships that often come in the wake of an NDE for the survivor. When confronted with a skeptical public, disbelieving families and friends, and a society that dismisses the supernatural or humors it only when applied to religion or entertainment, the NDE survivor often experiences depression, difficulty adjusting back to life in the here and now, thoughts ofsuicide, and the metaphysical challenges of straddling a fence between two worlds. In most cases, survivors keep their NDE a secret for fear of being ostracized...until the day they cannot remain silent any longer.
