In Search of Immortality

11/26/2021 - The Bigelow contest, officially known as the BICS contest, is the first contest of its kind to explore if there is evidence for consciousness outside of the body. Over 1,000 people from around the world participated in this contest. Just over two hundred essays were allowed to proceed to convince the judges that "Yes" consciousness can, and does, exist separately from the body - even after death. Many questions were explored, such as: What is consciousness?; What evidence is convincing? How do we know? A distinguished panel of judges evaluated the BICS essays and constituted one of the most stringent and scholarly peer-reviews conceivable. Dr. Pim van Lommel, one of the leading researchers in the world on Consciousness, and Dr. Jeff Long, founder of NDERF and media personality, brought home significant prizes. Dr. van Lommel was awarded the number 2 prize and Dr. Long was in the runner-up group. (Click the links above to read these papers) For the NDE community, this is one of the highest public affirmations of the validity of NDE, as well as other types of paranormal experiences that are actually "normal." A hearty congratulations for these life-time achievement awards in moving humanity forwards!
