#768 - What If Consciousness Doesn’t Die? With Daniel Drasin
About this episode
EVEN MORE about this episode!
What if consciousness continues after death—and evidence of the afterlife is already being recorded?
Join Julie Ryan and filmmaker Daniel Drasin as they explore afterlife communication, the Scole Experiment, electronic voice phenomena (EVP), and signs from loved ones in the spirit world. Dan shares the astonishing phenomena he documented while investigating afterlife communication, including the famous Scole Experiment, where objects materialized during controlled séances and spirit communication was recorded under strict conditions.
You’ll hear how spirits may communicate through modern technology—from mysterious voices captured on recordings to messages appearing through electronic devices. Dan also discusses instrumental transcommunication (ITC), mediumship research, and extraordinary accounts involving historical figures, astronauts lost in space missions, and even celebrities said to be communicating from the other side.
With the eye of a filmmaker and the curiosity of a lifelong investigator, Dan challenges the idea that consciousness ends with the brain. Together, he and Julie explore the possibility that our brains may function more like receivers of consciousness rather than creators of it—and that the afterlife may exist closer to us than we think. If you’ve ever wondered what truly happens after we die or whether loved ones can reach us from beyond, this thought-provoking conversation will open your mind to new possibilities about life, death, and the nature of reality.
