Rene Jorgensen is a philosopher of religion, who after his own Near Death Experience in March of 2000 has been studying the nature of this phenomenon.

He is a member of the International Association for Near Death Studies and conducts his own research into Near Death Experiences, where he studies the parallels between religion and these profound experiences beyond death.

Rene is author of Awakening After Life and The Light Behind God (released in November), and he is both a contributor and consulting editor of the Journal of Near Death Studies. Besides having been interviewed as an expert on Near Death Experiences on countless radio shows across America, he also does speaking engagements at conferences, nursing homes, church groups, spiritual festivals and other venues.

He is originally from Denmark but now lives near Montreal in Canada with his wife.
