"Norm, Storm, Conform and Reform: And Dr. Morse, You Are the Storm"

Melvin L Morse MD, a former Pediatric Intensive Care Physician, was a pioneer in Near Death Research, particularly in children.  His books Closer to the Light, Transformed by the Light and Where God Lives: How Our Brains are connected to the Universe, are International Best Sellers.  He has post graduate training in Neuroscience from the University of Washington.  He was an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the U of W for 20 years.  He is a neuro-scientist and Board Certified Pediatrician.

Dr. Morse was honored by Best Doctors as being one of the best Pediatricians in America from 1996-2006.  He has numerous teaching awards and honors.  He has published extensively in the medical literature on near death experiences, consciousness, and Reiki/energetic healing.  He has been honored by the World Health Organization for his recent research  and presented at the upcoming Science of Consciousness 2011 Conference in Stockholm. 

Dr. Morse's current research interests include 1) Spiritual Neuroscience: an understanding the hardware of spiritual understandings  2) Controlled Remote viewing, which he considers to be a window into the near death experience.  3) The right temporal lobe, our "god spot" which connects our brains to the divine.  This “god spot” has been more recently been extended by Mario Beauregard MD to be the “Spiritual Brain”. His book Spiritual Brain presents  a greater understanding of our brain as a filter of consciousness.   3) Reiki and energetic healing 4) Applications of near death experiences to death and dying, hospice and our cultural understanding of death 5) Medical applications of remote viewing.

To Download chapters from my books Click HereCloser to the Light

Dr. Morse's first book, Closer to the Light, was an international best seller and is published in 38 countries and 19 languages. It explored the near death experiences of children.

Transformed by the Light Cover 

 His best-selling second book, Transformed by the Light , is a long-term follow up of these children as adults, and documents the physical and psychological transformations resulting from near death experiences.

Parting Visions Cover

 His third book, Parting Visions, documents the entire range of spiritual visions associated with death and dying, including premonitions of death and after death visitations. It focuses on how we can use these experiences to help us to understand death, grief, and the often overlooked spiritual miracles in everyday life. Where God Lives Paranormal Science and How Our Brains Are Connected to the Unive

 His fourth book, Where God Lives: Paranormal Science and How Our Brains Are Connected to the Universe, presents a comprehensive new scientific understanding of how the brain can resonate with energetic patterns of the universe to permit communications with the dead, viewing at a distance with the mind, past life memories, premonitions of the future, and to establish a relationship with a "god" (as the children call it) or quantum non-locality in our daily lives.
