In Portugal, Spanish surgeon Dr. Manuel Segarra was presenting his book "Superconsciousness Exists - Life After Life". In the book, he reported several cases of "Near-Death Experiences" that he witnessed in which patients saw everything that was happening in the operating room when they were clinically dead.
Manuel Sans Segarra is a doctor, a specialist in general surgery, with a particular focus on oncological surgery.
TVI/CNN interviewed him and after the news program they will show part of this interview, on three consecutive days.
Manuel Sans Segarra believes that one day we will all be able to get in touch with our superconsciousness. At that point, we will all have the capacity to be good and "Earth will be Heaven". "There will be no evil or inequality", he assures.
He came to Portugal to present his new book “Superconsciousness Exists – Life After Life”, in which he reports on cases of patients who had near-death experiences and came into contact with superconsciousness and the life that exists beyond death… or this life.
Raised in Christianity, he left religion behind, but he kept the values that his parents “instilled” in him and for which he is “grateful”: “kindness, empathy, helping people, not stealing, being a good person”. What he abandoned, he explains, were the “dogmas”. And he explains that coming into contact with superconsciousness is “finding God within each one of us”.
How can you scientifically prove that there is life after death? They seem like two antagonistic things: science and this spiritual dimension…
This has been precisely my research since I began studying near-death experiences. To seek a scientific and objective justification, without taking into account religious or metaphysical aspects. In other words, with the Cartesian and Newtonian scientific method, which is the method that studies the macroscopic world, the objective world and the real world. That was my goal, to demonstrate that there is life after physical death, but with scientific methods.
In studying it, I came across several manifestations of our authentic identity. What I call superconsciousness. What allows us to study it better are near-death experiences, because they are very well defined, they are long, the patient reports what he/she experienced, that is, there are a series of factors that favor its objective study.
And what objective evidence did you find?
In studying near-death experiences, I saw that there are two fundamental aspects. There is real objective evidence.
For example?
They can describe exactly what is happening when I am reliving them, at a time when they are clinically dead, at whatever distance you want. And you can verify exactly what they are describing that is happening miles away, in the antipodes, in Australia, and you are here, making sure that this is exactly what is happening when your body is dead and we are reviving you.
My patients described to me everything that was happening in the emergency room, while I had them dead and was trying to revive them with the defibrillator, poking their hearts, while doing cardiac massage, ... So I verified, and I can certify before a notary, that everything they told me is exactly what was happening.
They are able to detail to us, regardless of space and time, at the same moment in which it occurs, the information of what is happening with all kinds of detail, which clearly shows that they saw it, they did not invent it.
More objective evidence: things are discovered that come during the near-death experience, that directly impact your life and that you did not know, that it was impossible for you to know. They discover, for example, that they are adopted, they discover relatives they didn't even know they had, that they saw them during the near-death experience and then they verify, biologically, that they are siblings and relatives.
Another fundamental thing is that we are doing functional magnetic resonance imaging of patients who have had a near-death experience and they tell us about the whole experience while the magnetic resonance imaging is being done. Look: when they saw an object during the near-death experience, which they had never seen before, nor seen again, that was a great distance from where they were dead, and they comment on this, the occipital lobe is activated.
Is this reflected in the magnetic resonance imaging?
While they are doing the magnetic resonance imaging and then they tell about their near-death experience and talk about an object that aroused their interest, that they only saw during the near-death experience and that was very far away, not where their dead body was. The occipital lobe is activated. It is in the occipital lobe that the human being interprets the images.
So I ask the neurologist: why is the occipital lobe activated? Do you know what the answer is? He says, you can be sure that this patient saw this object. I tell you, he only saw this object during the near-death experience. His body was on a stretcher, dead and had never seen it, neither before nor after. He says: “Then you can be sure that he saw it.”
And can we explain scientifically why this happens?
There are neurons in our brain called mirror neurons, which are responsible for memory. When you see an object that interests you, these neurons become imbued with the image. And you remember it, you can describe it later, without seeing it. And when you see it you say: “Look, that’s the one I saw.” It has memory. So, the patient had a memory of this object that he only saw during the near-death experience. That’s why the occipital lobe was activated during the MRI when he described it, because there was interference with the memory.
The neurologist, who didn’t believe in this, told me that they were hallucinations. When he saw that MRI, he said that he can guarantee that the near-death experience is real. It’s not a dream or a hallucination. This patient really saw this object, which he had contact with only during the near-death experience.
So something of him left his body, went a very long distance, saw that object and conditioned the memory.
Even so, they are near-death experiences. They are not post-death experiences. No one has ever come from another world. Or did these people really come back from the other world?
These are experiences of a person who is clinically dead. He is dead and this is proven with a flat electrocardiogram, a flat electroencephalogram after 10 or 15 seconds. He has no brain activity. He has no heart activity. He does not breathe. He has no reflexes. He is dead. And during this time when he is dead, he has these experiences.
It is neither before nor after, it is during a time when he is dead, when it is impossible to have sensitivity, to have vision, to have all the factors that allow a human being to relate to the outside world.

Silvio Guerrinha - Comment:
I have been studying and writing about these topics for years. It is always good for someone else in the scientific community (in this case, a doctor) to share these topics. It is good to present more evidence and solid clues on the subject.
Three hundred years ago, Allan Kardec, in his sessions, proved that there is life after death. He channeled messages from his spiritual guide, resulting in works such as "The Spirits' Book" and "The Mediums' Book".
In the scientific field, recently, we have the theoretical physicists of quantum physics who explain to us that consciousness is non-local, not limited to the body, and that our brain is holographic and captures the "signal" of consciousness like an antenna. Consciousness is everywhere.
Some scientists, such as Stuart Hameroff and Roger Penrose, propose that consciousness may have its roots in microtubules, structures inside brain cells. They suggest that consciousness may be a quantum effect that occurs within these microtubules, as part of the quantum theory of consciousness. Stuart Hameroff is an anesthesiologist and professor at the University of Arizona, while Roger Penrose is an English mathematical physicist, emeritus professor of the Rouse Ball Chair of Mathematics at the University of Oxford.
The term "supraconsciousness" already existed (it was not created by Dr. Manuel Segrra), it was used in Gnosis to exemplify the state of enlightenment, detachment from the ego and access to a higher dimension of ordinary consciousness; in philosophy, supraconsciousness can be the equivalent of the higher self.
I would also like to add that when someone has this Near-Death Experience (NDE), what happens is that the soul or consciousness leaves the body (it acts like a wave, non-locality) and this is identical to astral projection, which allows our consciousness to feel and see things at a distance (even thousands of kilometers away). When we sleep, our consciousness also leaves the body, this is called astral projection or astral projection.
These situations alone do not prove that there is life after death (we believe this with our faith, I believe), but they prove that consciousness continues to exist even without the body, and that there is a field of information and energy around us (the akasha).
