Welcome to The Gray Area. I’m your host. Today, we explore what it feels like to die with Sebastian Junger, author of In My Time of Dying: How I Came Face to Face with the Idea of an Afterlife. A veteran reporter and avowed rationalist, Junger survived a life-threatening illness and experienced things that “shocked and shook him,” leaving him with “profound questions and unexpected revelations.” In conversation with Sean Illing for Vox, he examines the mysteries and commonalities of near-death experiences—from out-of-body sensations to life reviews—and asks “what quantum physics can tell us about the afterlife.” Junger challenges us to reconsider the nature of consciousness, suggesting it may extend beyond the brain. Along the way, he shares touching testimonies that blur the line between science and mysticism. Join us on this journey to the edge of life, where the end may just be a new beginning.
