Evidence, intuition, and the new frontier of neuroscience
Summary
•
Humans may have 34 senses—not just 5.•
Grief can expand consciousness and reveal hidden connections.•
Near-death experiences suggest the mind may outlive the brain.•
Signs and intuition could be a language across worlds.•
Healing comes from blending science, spirituality, and love.This post is a detailed summary of the video “Neuroscience Expert (Dr. Tara Swart): Evidence We Can Communicate After Death!” from The Diary of a CEO. It explores how grief, neuroscience, and consciousness research intersect to suggest communication beyond death. From expanded senses to near-death experiences, the video highlights surprising scientific evidence and deeply personal stories. All insights and claims are based on Dr. Tara Swart’s explanations and lived experiences.
Who Is Dr. Tara Swart—and Why Should We Listen?
Dr. Tara Swart is more than a scientist. She is:
•
Neuroscientist & PhD in neuropharmacology•
Psychiatrist and medical doctor•
MIT Senior Lecturer•
Bestselling author of The Source and The Signs“If I can optimize my brain, why wouldn’t I also be able to connect with my husband after death?”
Her work matters because it’s not just theory—it’s the raw intersection of grief, science, and love.
The Hidden Truth About Our Senses
We were taught to trust our five senses. But what if that was never the whole picture?
•
Humans may have 34 senses•
The brain filters reality, only showing us what’s necessary for survival•
Meaning: much of life is invisible—until we learn how to noticeGrief as a Doorway
When her husband died, Dr. Swart’s world collapsed. And yet—something extraordinary happened:
•
Robins appeared outside her window•
A hazy figure by her bed—her husband’s presence•
Bodily sensations tied to the moment of his passingAt first, she feared madness. But then she realized: grief wasn’t an ending. It was a doorway to another kind of connection.
Speaking With the Dead: Signs, Symbols, Synchronicities
Signs became her new language of love:
•
A phoenix appearing again and again, even in the city of Phoenix on her husband’s death anniversary•
A random infinity symbol on the street, arriving right after she asked for reassurance•
Messages in thought—so vivid they felt undeniably real“It’s like learning a new language together—the living and the dead both must practice.”
The Science of Near-Death Experiences
Some of the most striking cases:
•
Terminal lucidity: Alzheimer’s patients regaining clarity before death•
Doctors’ own NDEs, describing other realms•
Over 10,000 cases worldwide, many medically verifiedTogether, they suggest: the mind may not be confined to the brain.
Healing the Body, Healing the Heart
Dr. Swart emphasizes: grief lives in the body too.
•
Healing through yoga, drumming, singing, and art•
Trauma stored in fascia and posture can be released through movement•
The gut-brain axis influences intuition as much as emotionsGrief isn’t only tears—it’s also in our muscles, our stomach, our heartbeat. Healing means listening with the whole body.
Ancient Wisdom, Modern Light
•
Dark retreats: complete darkness to simulate near-death experiences•
Nature: robins, butterflies, cloud patterns as timeless symbols•
Art & beauty: noticing beauty produces oxytocin, lifting the spiritScience is finally catching up to what ancient wisdom has whispered for centuries: we are more connected than we imagine.
Why It Matters
When someone we love dies, we feel abandoned, cut off, alone.
But what if:
•
Love doesn’t end with death?•
Signs are reminders we’re still connected?•
Healing is not forgetting, but learning to listen differently?“We don’t know everything. And maybe that’s the most exciting part.”
Final Reflection
Perhaps communication after death isn’t about words at all.
It’s about noticing the small miracles—a bird outside the window, a white feather on the ground, a sudden thought that feels like a whisper from someone you miss.
It’s about letting love take new shapes.
Because maybe grief is not the end of the story—
but the beginning of a conversation that never truly ends.
