I grew up in an evangelical Christian family. I wasn't allowed to listen to rock music, play dnd, watch scary movies, or anything else fun. He-man, ninja turtles, and other magic or alternative spirituality related toys were off-limits.
When I grew up and moved out, I did all the things. I made up for lost time. Even though I was sort of a "model kid" (not a brag, trust me), I was already fringe. First and foremost, I had a mind of my own. I was asking lots of questions from an early age. I was attracted to Wicca, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Shinto, and other paths very early. I was aware of Buddhism at 15, thanks to a fascination with ninja and martial arts. I discovered Wicca when I was 16, and have been fascinated with the idea of magic ever since. I learned about ancient runes BECAUSE of the Satanic Panic, and that discovery fed an already strong love of languages and linguistics. All of these experiences kinda make me laugh. There's a kind of irony in it.
Now I guess I'm a black sheep in my family, but I'm okay with that. Religion isn't really my cup of tea now, but that subject and the subject of magic still fascinate me to this day.
I like your channel and videos, Dr. Sledge. Keep up the good work. 👍

8:03 FIY, in the 21st century, the medical field of hospice care now does acknowledge what they call Visioning. It is regarded by professionals working in this field as a sign the person is nearing death. Hospice workers inform & educate their dying patients and their families that the dying person may very likely begin to experience visits from deceased loved ones, often parents, siblings, spouses and even pets. The visioning seems generally to begin about a month prior to death, and tends to ramp up as the person gets closer to death.
Visioning is not a result of the administration of drugs because people not given drugs also have visioning experiences as death nears (it's been reported that this happens to dying people for hundreds of years), and also because the dying are sometimes visited by loved ones whom neither they nor the family were aware had predeceased the dying patient.
Also, the visions of deceased loved ones do not cause fear or anxiety in the patient but in fact the opposite: they bring comfort to the dying person. This is an important distinction from hallucinations, which tend to be confusing & even upsetting to the dying person and are an indication something is wrong, a symptom of their terminal disease, or a problem with the drugs the person is being given. So to be clear, visioning is not the same as hallucinations despite the title of the research paper shown at the 8:03 mark.
Visioning people see their deceased loved ones in the room with them, sometimes floating up near the ceiling, and even carry on conversations with them while others in the room see nothing. Dying people who cannot speak sometimes reach out to invisible figures, or their eye movements indicate they are seeing something, paying attention to something nearby that no one else sees.
Amazingly, this phenomenon appears to occur to dying dogs, cats, & horses-- Rupert Sheldrake has discussed this.
Reliable and well-presented information on visioning and other death & dying topics can be gotten from Hospice Nurse Julie's Youtube channel.
Peace to all.
Thank you for this brilliant channel, Dr. Sledge. 👻
