20:30-21:30 (8:30 pm) - Spirituality and Activism w/Texas Tom

Tonight’s Topic: Can Reports of Near Death Experiences Illuminate Our Understanding of Deep Mystical States?

Since the publication of “Life After Life” in 1975, research into Near-Death Experiences has flourished across disciplines, opening new doors into the study of consciousness. Today, the conversation is shifting: instead of asking only whether NDEs are ‘real,’ we might also ask how they illuminate timeless dimensions of spiritual experience. This interview is presented by Fr. Vincent Pizzuto takes up that challenge by exploring the Trappist monk Thomas Merton’s evocative description of quietud sabrosa—a ‘delicious tranquility’—and considers its uncanny resonance with reports from those who have journeyed to the threshold of death. By drawing on an idealist (as opposed to physicalist) model of consciousness, he suggests that NDEs not only expand our scientific understanding of consciousness but also deepen our insight into the interior unfolding of contemplative states, offering a bridge between modern research and perennial wisdom.

He Father Vincent Pizzuto, Ph.D. is Professor of New Testament Studies and Christian Mysticism at the Jesuit University of San Francisco and is an Episcopalian priest. He is currently working on his third book project in which he studies the nature of consciousness and its importance for spirituality.
