About this episode
Near-death experience podcast 542 guest Dr. Karl Simanonok, Former Scientist who worked at Nasa that had a near death experience. During this podcast we talk about his NDE experience and what he learned from it. Dr. Karl Simanonok received his Ph.D. in Physiology (the study of the body) from the University of California at Davis, where his research involved the development of a new countermeasure to the headward fluid shift problem that astronauts experience in weightlessness. His postdoctoral work followed up on that research with computer modeling of the countermeasure at the NASA Johnson Space Center's Cardiovascular Laboratory as a Research Associate for the National Research Council, and later as a Visiting Scientist with the Universities Space Research Association. During his time at NASA JSC he also performed human research on other countermeasures which could be used to help dehydrated Shuttle astronauts returning from space retain more fluid volume upon landing, and he discovered significant statistical correlations in the historical astronaut biomedical data that linked for the first time, preflight variables relating to fluid shifts with the space sickness problem that affects many astronauts, sometimes severely and even dangerously. Dr. Simanonok was also invited to attend the first meeting between Russian and American space physiologists in history, in Vienna after the fall of the Soviet Union. In semi-retirement, Dr. Simanonok is developing and writing about the Nexus Theory of consciousness, the first and so far the only end-to-end physical description of how consciousness may be enabled in our brains, leaving no 'explanatory gaps'. Nexus Theory describes how the light our own living cells emit at very low levels called 'biophotons' are used in our brains to construct a 3D holographic 'nexus' (connection point) within the spaces of our brains that 'tunes in' resonantly to the holographic Source of consciousness spanning the entire volume of the universe in the Zero Point Energy, to enable consciousness in us. The inspiration for Nexus Theory arose from Dr. Simanonok's Near Death Experience many years before, and it explains in physical terms exactly HOW we are all One with that Light that so many NDErs report seeing or even merging with, as Dr. Simanonok did.
