A Spiritual Hypothesis
Daniel Punzak, P.E. has a chemical engineering degree from Carnegie Mellon University, and worked in the environmental field for over 30 years. At that same time he has been fascinated with near-death experiences and other aspects of soul and spirit. Traditional Western religion explains that each human has a spiritual aspect called a soul. Moreover, several passages in the Bible allude to humans having a soul and a spirit. Dan has explored this idea and found numerous modern psychological findings that support this notion. Shamanism and some Eastern religious concepts also support this idea. Dan believes diverse concepts such as creativity and mental illness can be explained by the idea that two spiritual forms are in each human. Through the study of diverse physical and psychological concepts, as well, Dan has evolved an integrated overall theory of human behavior which led him to author the book, A Spiritual Hypothesis: An Inquiry into Abnormal and Paranormal Behavior. |

Changed in a Flash: Elizabeth Krohn
When Elizabeth Krohn headed to her Houston synagogue to attend a memorial service for her beloved grandfather, she couldn’t have known that her life would be changed forever. As she drove the pleasant weather gave way to a downpour and fierce thunder and lightning soon followed. She arrived at the synagogue and, with her young son in tow, started to make her way from the car to the building. It was then that she was struck by lightning. Elizabeth saw herself lying on the asphalt as she floated up to what she describes as a garden electrified with vivid, unearthly colors and infused with a sense of unconditional kindness and love. She felt herself communing with a spiritual being, while her sense of time was upended. She was given the choice of returning to her earthly life or remaining in the otherworldly paradise. When she was told that if she went back she would have a third child—a girl who had already selected her and her husband as parents—she rejoined her body and the temporal world. Then it got even stranger. After the lightning strike her life was changed forever. She began to have dreams about future events, developed synesthesia, started seeing auras, and sometimes had a sense of inanimate objects radiating a life force. Oh, and she also gave birth to a daughter. In CHANGED IN A FLASH: ONE WOMAN’S NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE AND WHY A SCHOLAR THINKS IT EMPOWERS US ALL (North Atlantic Books, October 2018, hardcover) Elizabeth recounts her wondrous and unsettling story. |

Know Death Well
Nathalie Millar is a sister, wife, mother and friend. At the age of 17,
and again when she was 30, Nathalie crossed over from this life into
the afterlife where she was “told” it was not her time and was
returned to this life with the message, "know death well". Motivated by these experiences, Nathalie embarked on 36 years of self-study, including conversations with souls before, during and after their death and acting as an empath for the recently deceased whose communications manifest themselves in the fibre art that Nathalie creates and has presented to organizations such as the International Association for Near Death Studies (IANDS). Currently she is the Grief and
Bereavement Coordinator for the Mission Hospice Society, is a certified Death Doula, and cofacilitates
afterlife conversations groups. |
