Credit the progression of the Near-Death Experience (NDE) over the past 50 years from an event that raised eyebrows about the experiencer’s sanity to a phenomenon that merited serious consideration by scientific and medical professionals…
My work, The Anathemas: A Novel of Reincarnation and Restitution, rates an “honorable mention” in this excellent article on The Shift Network site, “Visionary Fiction and the Global Pandemic: A Brave New World” by Jodine…
