Personal and Professional History

Melvin L. Morse is consistently voted by his fellow pediatricians as being one of America's top Pediatricians. From 1997-2006, he has been identified by Woodword-White's Best Doctors in America (view) as one of the top pediatricians in the country. In 2006 he retired from a busy private practice in the suburbs of Seattle, Washington, USA. In 2007, his wife Pauline and he founded Spiritualscientific.com, an independent think tank.  He has applied what he learned from children’s NDEs to his own life threatening illness that he was given only a 5% chance of recovery from.  He has now returned to part-time practice of Pediatrics in lower Delaware.  The private practice of Pediatrics and the ability to facilitate and witness children growing to adulthood is his true passion and profession.

Dr. Morse has researched near death experiences in children and adults since 1980. He and his second wife Pauline have five children between them. His strength in understanding spiritual visions and near death experiences is based on his previously full time practice of pediatrics and that he remains completely grounded in the non-spiritual aspects of daily patient care. His wife Pauline is a true partner in both their family life and in his spiritual research. He supplies the scientific research and she supplies the spiritual insight, the faith and courage needed to not both perceive spiritual insights with our right temporal lobes and how practically to apply them to our ordinary lives. Their current research has documented how to differentiate spiritual insights from our wish fulfilling fantasies, dreams, and fears. Ultimately we must learn how to apply the lessons that children have learned from nearly dying to transform our own lives. Dr. and Mrs. Morse are currently working on practical ways to access spiritual information to find happiness and spiritual meaning in our everyday lives.  They have studied with the top Department of Defense trainers in Controlled Remote Viewing, which is a verifiable way to access information from non local reality (Dr. Morse) or the mind of God (Pauline).  Less than a few thousand people world wide have developed this natural talent.

In 2005, Dr. Morse, in collaboration with the Childrens Therapy Center of Valley Medical Center, founded the Austism Spectrum Diagnostic and Treatment Clinic. Before retiring, one half of clinical time was spent working with children who have autism spectrum disorders, disorders of attention, post traumatic stress syndrome, dissociative identity disorder, and severe behavior disorders.

His interest in near death experiences evolved from his experiences working in Critical Care Medicine at Seattle Children's Hospital. He published the first description of a child's near death experience in the medical literature and was funded by the National Cancer Institute to complete the first case control prospective study in near death experiences. He was the head of the Seattle Study, the largest study in adults of the transformational aspects of the near death experience to date.

Dr. Morse graduated with academic honors from George Washington University School of Medicine. He interned in the Pediatrics at the University of California at San Francisco and then completed a residency in Pediatrics at Seattle Children's Hospital. He is the recipient of a National Service Research Award and spent two years studying brain tumors and leukemia, also at Seattle Children’s Hospital.

Dr. Morse was a founder of the Pediatric Interim Care Center, one of the nation’s first therapeutic foster homes for infants affected by prenatal exposure to cocaine. He has won numerous teaching awards.

Dr. Morse's research has been featured in documentaries in Japan, Australia, France, Canada, England, and the United States. He has appeared on numerous television and radio shows, including 20/20, The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Turning Point, The Tom Snyder Show, the Larry King Show, Good Morning America, Dateline, and Unsolved Mysteries, and has been the subject of lengthy profiles in the Seattle Times, Tacoma News Tribune, and the Los Angeles Times. He has numerous scientific publications on death-related visions, including The Lancet and the American Medical Association’s Pediatric Journal.

Dr. Morse's first book, Closer to the Light, was an international best seller and is published in 38 countries and 19 languages. It explored the near death experiences of children. His best-selling second book, Transformed by the Light , is a long-term follow up of these children as adults, and documents the physical and psychological transformations resulting from near death experiences. His third book, Parting Visions, documents the entire range of spiritual visions associated with death and dying, including premonitions of death and after death visitations. It focuses on how we can use these experiences to help us to understand death, grief, and the often overlooked spiritual miracles in everyday life.  His fourth book, Where God Lives, presents a comprehensive new scientific understanding of how the brain can resonate with energetic patterns of the universe to permit communications with the dead, viewing at a distance with the mind, past life memories and premonitions of the future. Book Descriptions

In 2007, Pauline and Dr. Morse founded Spiritualscienific.com, a small independent scientific think tank.  In two years, they have produced an extraordinary body of research, including 1) A study of Controlled Remote Viewing and the mind’s effect on a true random number generator, with IRVA.org  2) A study of REIKI healing and its effect on both a true random number generator and white counts in severely neutropenic patients, with the Department of Alternative Health at Beebe Hospital in Lewes, Delaware, and 3) A study of remote viewing of tomato plants infected with plant viruses, with Sacred Mountain Sanctuary. 4) A theoretical analysis of comparisons between Controlled Remote Viewing and Near Death Experiences, paper presented at IRVA.org on June 20^th, 2009.
