Nde's
16 Answers
The other day my friends and I were discussing a programme about near death experiences (NDE's), where people claim to have "left" their bodies and glimpsed the afterlife, with tales of tunnels of light and even saying they communiated with dead relatives or other beings and told to return. I'm not sure what to think, as these people seem very plausible and it does seem to be a rather comforting thought. Does anyone have any thoughts or views about this, or indeed, even experienced this phenomena themselves?

I since see that this question was posed nearly 10 years ago, but I wasn't on this forum then. To Old Geezer, Purist and Baldric - I tend to agree with you about the responses that are completely closed to this concept. One response had nothing to say except to post a link that basically panned the whole subject. I still have an open mind and would have been interested to hear from anyone who had had any form of "out of body" experience. I think it's fascinating. Oh well - c'est la vie. Excuse the pun!!
This is a subject that ive been reading about for 20+ years.
Theres arguments for and against both sides (hallucination or genuine experience) and ive posted questions about it myself. I do find that the naysayers arguments leave a lot to be desired given my own research.
Still don't know what to make of it though.

In some cases, surgeons have been told by patients that while on the operating table, they seemed to experience their spirit leaving their body and soaring up and around. Some theatre staff have responded to these accounts by putting some simple pictures on top of high shelves or cupboards where they could not be seen from the table. Subsequently, no patient has claimed to have seen any of the pictures, whatever else they have claimed.
Near death experience and effects of lack of Oxygen to the brain are remarkably similar!

Not NDE's, but I have had two out of-body experiences, it isn’t that unusual. One of mine came after a tragic loss as a child and the other as an adult about 30 years ago when I had a bad fever in the Far East. Both times I went to the roof of the room, which I believe is the most common place to go.
To understand how it happens you first have to consider how the brain works. We think of ourselves as being in location, but it doesn’t quite work like that. Our senses take the location and recreate it in our brain, then the brain puts us in the right place in our brain. We kind of live in a video game we create in our brain. That is why it takes so long for children to learn balance as they have to learn to put themselves in the right place in their brain. We can lose that ability to locate ourselves through shock, fever etc., and I would imagine an NDE, though that doesn't explain glimpsing the afterlife.
