IS THERE LIFE BEFORE DEATH?
Portrait
Most people spend their lives in a kind of hypnosis under the influence of what was suggested by their upbringing and socialization. They die without ever waking up. This is a core thesis of the successful psychiatrist Andrew (András) Feldmár, who lives in Canada. His talks attract large audiences. For many of his listeners, Feldmár’s observations on love, family and death are a revelation. He is also known for his alternative treatment methods, for instance for depression and schizophrenia. Because of his views on the possible therapeutic application of LSD, Feldmár is a controversial figure and even unwelcome in the USA. Benedek Fliegauf accompanied the charismatic explorer of the soul on a lecture tour through Hungary.
