Raymond begins this lecture by describing what defines a Near Death Experience, how they are often catalysed by some type of crisis, indeed how such events might at the time seem to be a crisis in itself. His work as a psychiatrist has led him to conclude that Near Death Experiences can be instrumental in helping individuals take a quantum leap forward in the evolution of their consciousness because they represent the most profound experience of the self. One response to a crisis is to use it as a mechanism for growth something which near death experiences nearly always produce.
