everyone has been to "the other side of death."

the other side of death is life

@Darpinion - In other words your page full of stories is a fabrication, full of undocumented and unverified claims that could be tested but because of circumstance aren't. The only way to verify that they don't have neural activity going on is to put them in an EEG machine. If you're dying that isn't exactly the smartest freaking move because it requires resuscitation stops.

I understand you want to believe, but extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

@92bagder that experiment was conducted in 1901. the patients were dying of T.B, their was an average weight loss of 21g in six patients. the dr. was a christian and believed only humans have soul and so when he tested the experiment on dogs, there was no difference in weight. he never repeated the experiment for anyone. later experiments conducted by other scientists failed to give any conclusive results.

when you're about to die, your brain produces DMT. dimethyltryptamine, the chemical your brain makes when you dream. it's in most plant life on earth, and if you extract it and smoke it you go on a ridiculous trip. most people who have smoked it claim that it's extremely enlightening and like having the whole universe go into your head at once.

Bary Beyerstein is a badass.

riddle me this. there was an experiment if we have souls or not. the guy tested people who were dying on a scale. when the patient died they lost weight by like less than an ounce. anyway he thinking its their last breath he exhaled his lungs till he couldnt no more but nothing happened. Can anyone explain that cause I've been pondering that for a while

Did any of these people talk to people who had a NDE outside their own religious beliefs? Probably not.

[JJPHILLYLG]

Confirmation bias like a motherfucker.

HYPOTHESIS: During an NDE, your brain loses connection to the rest of the body. It can't feel pain. Especially when you compare it to the pain of being in a traumatic accident, feeling nothing in your physical extremities is probably one of the most euphoric experiences possible. People take pain killers when their perfectly fine. It wouldn't be to much of a stretch if that joy manifested itself in something like an NDE.
