What might near-death experiences, reincarnation, and UFO encounters reveal about consciousness—and the nature of reality itself?
Join Dr. Seng-Beng Ho for an evening exploring these three subjects and their possible connections. Drawing from his book, Science and Sensibleness: An Intellectual Survival Guide for the UFO Age, Seng-Beng will examine research and reported experiences that he argues challenge a purely material understanding of consciousness.
The presentation will move from near-death experiences to reincarnation, then explore the UFO connection, including reported telepathic communication and similarities between some encounter accounts and near-death experiences.
Designed for curious newcomers as well as those already exploring these questions, the evening will include a roughly 45-minute presentation, followed by Q&A and time for attendees who wish to share their own experiences.
Limited copies are available on our New Books table. Books will also be available for purchase before/after the event.
Please arrive 10–15 minutes early to allow time for parking and check-in.
