Calling yourself a psychic investigator indicates you are more than likely living in a magical (i.e. not evidence-based) world and that you really can't be taken that seriously when making claims about that which you're investigating.

I don't see any proof there. The guy is just making a bunch of claims about the "mind" but doesn't actually give any proof of any of them.
Additionally, the article cites TV psychic John Edwards as a quality medium. Anybody who's been to a taping of his show knows that he constantly gets stuff wrong and they only show the parts where people are agreeing with him on TV.
His argument also twists the burden of proof. He demands proof that there is no afterlife. However, in order to prove the nonexistence of the afterlife, we would need to prove the nonexistence of souls. Proving the nonexistence of souls is impossible because people who believe in souls claim that there is no physical evidence that could prove or disprove their existence.
His argument that the brain survives death because of near-death experiences is the result of a misunderstanding of biology. When patients are close to death (and even for a slight period after pronounced dead) there is still brain activity. Neurons are still firing, and this can cause hallucinatory experiences.

Soul can not be proved by science. For example, a human being, near death, could be placed on a very sensitive scale to measure the weight of the body one second before death and one or more seconds after death ... no change will be detected.
Soul is the non-material and duplicated by God, YOU -- just like you without a physical body -- who will ascend up to the next higher Heaven, be re-personalized into a much higher, more real body with much higher intellectual and spiritual discernment capacities.
Some humans have been given a "WOW ! I am just like me !" but 100% out in space (no body) and 100% still in body-brain, and partly also higher DEEP MYSTERY Spirit identity. The thinking is now in perfect "stereo" -- every thought in human mind is also IDENTICAL in you as soul in space ! I highly recommend this "stereo" soul-reinforced thinking, or super-thinking spiritual reflecting. Those who do become soul aware, usually around ages 35 or so, do not stay there long. In some weeks to a few years, they progress to a higher Born-Eternal existence in Jesus Christ. (see John 16:7-16 and Rev 21:3-7)
Any here who have ever faintly believed in a loving Father God (by any name) should take their eternal salvation for granted ! Granted freely by our loving Creator Father-Son of God Jesus Christ ! (aka Jesus Christ Michael) Rejoice !
Peace and progress,

The so-called evidence of that psychic is just based on the testimonies and stories of people who claim they have had various out of body, psychic experiences, near death experiences, hauntings and poltergeists, etc. It is no more proof than what anybody else says about their own experiences, and all of it can be attributed to mental illnesses, drugs, hallucinations, and lies from people who want attention.
I have my faith and my religion. It is evidence to me for God and for His revelation to His prophets and apostles that He exists and we are spirit rather than just physical beings. But there is no scientific proof for either of these points of view because you cannot prove the supernatural through the scientific method. It boils down to faith and believing.

Complete garbage.
The mind does not conduct "'thoughts' faster than the speed of light".
Neither does it have "the capacity to move solid objects and levitate objects and humans".
These are only two of the absurd claims this deluded individual makes.
He even believes that John Edwards is legitimate... hahahaha.

If we remove your brain and you can still think, I'll believe in God.
