Cs beyond death. Blue railings. We paint death colorfully.

July 23, 2023, Cardiologist Dr. Pim van Lommel gained international recognition after his groundbreaking study of near-death experiences (NDEs) was published in the prestigious medical journal The Lancet in 2001. The study was remarkable in that it was prospective: the conditions were determined before the patients' cardiac arrest. The results showed that purely physiological explanations for the NDEs were inadequate, raising profound questions about the nature of consciousness and its relationship to brain function. In this in-depth interview, Natalia Vorontsova of the Essentia Foundation discusses the philosophical implications of these findings with Dr. van Lommel at his home in the Netherlands.

Background on Natalia Vorontsova and the Essentia Foundation
Natalia Vorontsova:
Role: Natalia Vorontsova is a journalist, interviewer, and communications manager at the Essentia Foundation. She conducts interviews with scientists, philosophers, and researchers on topics such as consciousness, metaphysics, and non-materialistic worldviews, as in the video with Dr. Pim van Lommel.

Background:
Vorontsova has an academic background in journalism and communications. According to her profile on the Essentia Foundation website (essentiafoundation.org), she specializes in science communication and translating complex philosophical and scientific concepts for a wider audience.

She was born in Russia but lives in the Netherlands, which gives her a multicultural perspective. Her work focuses on building bridges between academic research and public debate.

In addition to her work as an interviewer, she writes articles and moderates discussions for the Essentia Foundation, often on topics such as idealism, quantum physics, and consciousness research.

Style: In her interview with van Lommel, she demonstrates herself as a sensitive and precise questioner, enabling in-depth answers without dominating the discussion. Her questions are well-researched and aim to make the scientific and philosophical implications of near-death experiences accessible.

Other work: She has conducted interviews with other prominent thinkers, such as Bernardo Kastrup (philosopher and director of the Essentia Foundation) and Federico Faggin (physicist and inventor of the microprocessor). These are available on the Essentia Foundation's YouTube channel (Essentia Foundation YouTube).

Essentia Foundation:
Mission: The Essentia Foundation is a Netherlands-based non-profit organization founded in 2019. It promotes a non-materialist view of reality, particularly metaphysical idealism, which states that consciousness, not matter, is the basis of reality. The foundation aims to unite scientific and philosophical perspectives to support paradigm shifts in science.

Founder and Director: Founded by Bernardo Kastrup, a philosopher and computer scientist who is considered a leading exponent of analytical idealism. Kastrup is also the foundation's scientific director.

Activities:
Publication of articles, essays, and videos on topics such as consciousness research, quantum mechanics, and near-death experiences.

Production of interviews and documentaries, such as the video with van Lommel, which are freely available on YouTube and the website (essentiafoundation.org).

Organization of online courses and conferences, e.g., on the topic of "Analytical Idealism."

Relevance to van Lommel: The Essentia Foundation is a natural platform for van Lommel's work, as his hypothesis of non-local consciousness aligns with the foundation's idealistic philosophy. The interview with Vorontsova was specifically produced to bring van Lommel's research to a global audience.

Reputation: The foundation is valued by supporters for its intellectual depth but is sometimes labeled "esoteric" or "pseudoscientific" by critics because it challenges materialist paradigms. Nevertheless, it collaborates with renowned scientists and philosophers.

Connection to the video:
Vorontsova's interview with van Lommel (2023) was produced as part of the Essentia Foundation to explore the intersection of science and spirituality. The recording in van Lommel's home lends a personal touch to the conversation, and Vorontsova's questions reflect the foundation's mission to present questions of consciousness in an accessible and scientifically sound manner.

Lana Del Rey releases music video for "Blue Banisters"
In the video, Del Rey is seen with her closest friends and her pregnant sister, baking cakes and painting her patio railing.

INSERT:
Exciting in these times and makes her even more sympathetic to us!: musikexpress.de, October 21, 2021

"Del Rey has deleted all her social media accounts
Lana Del Rey last announced in September that she was deleting all of her social media accounts indefinitely. She posted a roughly two-and-a-half-minute video on Instagram and explained to her 20 million followers: "Hi guys, I just wanted to let you know that tomorrow we will be deactivating our social media accounts, my social media accounts. This is simply because I have so many interests and other jobs I'm working on that require privacy and transparency." Nevertheless, Del Rey assured her fans that she shouldn't fear that she's completely withdrawing from show business – she will continue working on her spoken-word projects, albums, and poetry. "I'm still very present and love what I do," Del Rey said. "I'm absolutely here for the music."

"In the song, Del Rey sings about an old love that still haunts her mind and expresses gratitude for her closest confidants who help her get over said man. The metaphor is the railings that her old love always wanted to paint blue with her – but never showed up. So now her friends are taking his place and painting those railings green with her."

...that's the opinion of "musikexpress"
Personally, we believe there's so much more to art and poetry.
And it's a very personal piece, which is also evident in her serious expression at the end of the film.
A great insightful video - bravo to the artist and her team!
