THE EXTRAORDINARY SCIENCE OF CONSCIOUSNESS
What is consciousness? No one knows for sure. It’s a mystery of modern science. Yet, it’s one of the most profound questions confronting humanity. The study of consciousness, from research in biology, psychology, quantum theory, and parapsychology gives us some insight. But the true nature of human consciousness remains elusive. Join us as we explore this profound mystery and look to the world’s leading experts, who are searching for the answers to this “missing link” in the new docu-film, The Consciousness Connection.
EPISODE 1 FOUNDATIONS
With one foot in the objective realm of material science and the other balanced on the precipice of the unknown in such topics as ESP, near-death experience, UAP encounters, life after death and out of body travel, Our film introduces the leading voices in this difficult field of academic research. We also meet those eye witnesses who’ve come face to face with the phenomena. We explore the fundamental question, “What is the source of consciousness?” It is one of the biggest mysteries of mankind and one of the remaining “hard questions” of science.
Materialist theories, that the brain is the origin of consciousness, are now being challenged by new scientific evidence. The true nature of reality and what it means to be human are in the balance in, The Consciousness Connection.
Released on Gaia Network in February of 2025 the film has opened to many positive reviews and uplifting support from viewers around the world. This important message is being amplified by scholars and proponents of a new paradigm in understanding of our World.

EPISODE 2 NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES
Every person will one day face that moment when life ends— yet a growing body of experiencers and researchers suggest this isn’t the end, but a profound new beginning. This feature-length film explores the near-death experience (NDE) as a window into a possible afterlife. Combining personal testimony, groundbreaking science, and visual re-creations, Near Death Experiences challenges the materialist view of consciousness and delves into NDEs as potentially positive, transformative, consciousness-expanding events. Often with startling evidence of the seemingly impossible. Are these vivid and structured experiences hallucinations from a dying brain — or glimpses into an alternate dimension?
The film examines universal themes of love, connection, transformation, and the survival of consciousness beyond the body.
Soon to be released on Gaia Network and Prime Video in early 2026 the film is in the final stages of post production. Please subscribe below to receive insider information on the premiere and important events discussing the topic with those featured in the documentary.
About the Production
The Consciousness Connection feature documentary film is being produced by the team of executive producer Robert Davis, Ph.D. professor, research scientist, speaker, and author of numerous books on the subject, and the Emmy-winning documentary film-making team of director Dave C. Beaty, and producers Wilson Hawthorne and John Biffar from Dreamtime Entertainment Digital. We are currently in the pre-production phase of development.
To date, we have accomplished so much. By leveraging crowd-sourced funds for travel we have been able to interview numerous experts around the country. These include Ph.D..s and medical doctors in Washington and Virginia, researching Near near-death experiences, and scientists conducting experiments into anomalous events in San Francisco. Along with exciting programs at The Monroe Institute, we continue to collect fascinating material and footage. But we are far from crossing the finish line and ask for your support in funding this important program.

THE CONSCIOUSNESS CONNECTION PROGRAM SEGMENTS
What is Human Consciousness?
We provide the latest theories about the nature of human consciousness and the controversial viewpoints and academic evidence to support those ideas. What evidence suggests consciousness originates outside and within the human brain?
Research into Psychic Phenomena
Are ESP, healing with intent, and psychokinesis real? We examine the fascinating history of academic research into consciousness and parapsychology. We hear from leading experts who say that physical systems at a distance can be influenced by human consciousness. Research has also been done using intention or thoughts to influence illnesses. Can healing take place through intention alone?
The "Peak" Experience
The Peak Experience is rooted in extraordinary events (near-death experiences, out-of-body experiences, effects from psychoactive drugs, interaction with unidentified aerial phenomena, and meditation practices, etc.). Researchers have learned that the resulting transformative experiences can reshape a person’s core beliefs on life, love, and death in often positive ways.
Near Death Experiences and Out of Body Phenomena
Does human consciousness continue after death? We explore the evidence from those who survived clinical death, and talk to witnesses who believe they were given information from another realm of existence. We learn about those who believe their consciousness can exit the body and travel elsewhere.
Quantum Consciousness & Multidimensions
Is it possible that alternate dimensions exist beyond our physical reality? We look at research into quantum theory and other exotic hypotheses to explain the diverse range of reported paranormal experiences, altered states of perception, and other perplexing mysteries. After all, what is considered science fiction today may well be science fact tomorrow.
The Need for a Scientific Paradigm Shift
We explore the need for a radical new way of thinking, wherein consciousness; the subjective dimensions of life, and the physical universe are integrated into new principles of discovery for the next paradigm shift; one that includes the science of the subjective, in the Consciousness Connection

We hear from some of the world’s top academics who have been studying the nature of human consciousness, including Eben Alexander, M.D., an internationally recognized Neurosurgeon, and author of the best-selling book: Proof of Heaven. Other experts include researchers and scientists, and their evidence – based experimental outcomes, some of who believe that quantum theory allows for the existence of alternate dimensions of reality, and the separation of one’s consciousness from the physical body. Yet many experts disagree, and consider these reports an illusion produced by the brain. But, regardless of who holds the truth in this debate, we will learn that the positive transformation is very real indeed.
