Critics Review
“Changed in a Flash is a captivating collaboration between a remarkable woman who survived a lightning strike, only to discover inexplicable new—but not always welcomed—abilities and insights, and an acclaimed scholar of religious studies. Elizabeth Krohn’s spellbinding account of her experience and its striking after effects will astound you, and Jeffrey Kripal’s examination of their potentially revolutionary implications will inspire you to rethink how you understand humanity, death, and an afterlife.”
—Bruce Greyson, MD, Carlson Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry & Neurobehavioral Sciences, Division of Perceptual Studies, University of Virginia School of Medicine
“Near-Death Experiences are often recalled as shockingly vivid events with unexpected consequences, including newfound psychic abilities. Such a case is covered in the first part of the book. But it’s the second part that explores how to interpret the meaning of NDEs. Are they literally true reports of the afterlife, or hallucinatory dreams of a dying brain, or something much stranger? Changed in a Flash explores each of these interpretations, and it ends with a stunning conclusion. A thoughtful, fresh look at NDEs that threatens to exceed your boggle threshold. Highly recommended.”
—Dean Radin PhD, chief scientist, Institute of Noetic Sciences, author, Real Magic
