563 Admir Serrano - Out-of-Body Experiences, Healing Grief & Discovering Immortality

Actually, I'm from Brazil.

Um, and we speak Portuguese, Brazil was colonized by Portugal.

So we, we, um, I was born on a, on a coffee farm.

So I'm farm boy and, and had a wonderful experience, wonderful childhood in, in, in nature was my back, my, my backyard.

And I grew up in Catholic faith, and I used to be an altar boy at one point, and I loved it extremely, extremely much.

It was a wonderful experience.

I liked the ritual of the church and all that.

There was something that was amazing, something, a memory, very vivid, and that I deeply cherish that.

But it got to a point that religion didn't answer some of my questions.

I think that happens to a lot of people.

And at one point, I just gave up.

And it was a little bit exacerbated by when my father died, I was 19 years old.

I was going to be 19.

He was 44.

And then it's, it's that you, you also study grief and bereavement and, and, you know, that, and, uh, things that when we don't understand, especially when we lose a loved one.

We blame, many times we blame ourselves, even though it's not, we shouldn't, but we do anyways.

And then when we need to blame someone, some higher power, guess who we blame? We blame that very being that we run to when things get tough and we don't know what to do.

Then we appeal for the higher forces, God or whatever it is.

But depending on the circumstance, you blame him, and I did.

And then I started studying, like, humanism and all that kind of has nothing to do with sexuality.

That, you know, the theory of evolution, that the brain is everything.

It didn't exist before you were born, and you're going to cease.

You're going to end existing after your body dies.

dies but then i think i i had a another path that was um my destiny let's say that in in the year 2000 i started having spontaneous out-of-body experiences like all of a sudden i was totally lucid i i knew where i was and uh you know i was in places there were that I asked and they told me this is the other side of life.

I said, but this is too real to be true.
