## Resource

What happens after we die — and is there actually evidence for it? Researcher Brendan Murphy joins Zach for a 23-year deep dive into near-death experiences, reincarnation, consciousness, and the architecture of the afterlife. From stunning NDE parallels across a century of accounts, to how the oversoul works, to what simulation theory gets wrong — this one changes how you think about everything.
