Near Death Experiences: What Is The Evidence?

www.TheDrWaltonSeries.com - Part 3 - Dr. Jim discusses the difference between hallucinations and Near Death Experiences. He also discusses what happens when someone has a negative experience.

There are ordinary people who have journeyed very close to the boundary between life and death and may have even glimpsed the potential for life beyond death. People who are believed to have had a close brush with their own mortality while perceiving life beyond our own Earthly experience are said to have had a near-death experience or an NDE.

The NDE is a self-reported encounter with death. During the experience, such people claim to have traveled to an apparent world beyond the one that we know of in this physical reality. They often return with the belief that they had died and were returned to this reality for some reason that is not always clear to them. With the advent of modern technology for saving lives so close to the brink of death, reports of such incidents are on the rise.

People who have reported a near-death experience often have been pronounced clinically dead for some period. During that period, such individuals may have begun what could be considered the journey to the realm of life after death. They might experience a separation from their bodies, meeting with other beings, and a life review. These individuals, however, perceive that they are not able to remain in that realm and for various reasons will self-report an experience of being called back into their body. For obvious reasons, we may never know with certainty what takes place after death; however, those who say they have undergone a near-death experience may be able to tell us what happens at the border of the frontier beyond this life.

Dr. James E. Walton, PhD, counseling Marriage and Family Therapist in Los Angeles, discusses his research on what occurs during an NDE. In this segment, he goes through the stages of the experience. You may also read the full body of his research on NDEs at LAtherapist.com.
