Hi - amazing post. Just to clarify - does Dr Fenwick believe in life after death or does he think it is a part of the brain's reaction during the process of dying?

[LightBehindGod]

@ASilvershade I think he leans towards life after death - but he is very objective and precise as a serious scientist.

Mr. Jorgensen: Thank you for your response from a few months ago.I want u to know that I WANT NDE's to be true.I want there to be a life after death.I just have trouble believing that these experiences are genuine. Seems like Christians see Christian imagery;Muslims see Islamic imagery;Hindus see images consistent with their tradition.What to make of this?It seems that you see what you expect to see, before it all goes black. Then nothing.

[LightBehindGod]

Its only on the surface that the mind of each individual interacts with the experience and pre-existing belief is projected into the experience. But underneath are what is called the core features of the near-death experience and these are close to universal: out-of-body experience, the light, sensations of love, peace and joy, a life-review, pleasant/unpleasant experiences, etc. It does not go black rather people say that the Light full of profound love and joy seems to be our destination.

Also you can read my new book The Light Behind God, which goes into this in depth. It explains why these testimonies are real and we should listen together with separating the religious dogma from what people actually experience.

I'm not sure I understand this gentleman clearly. Is he saying that NDE's are NOT an indication that there is continuation after death?

[LightBehindGod]

No, he is saying that there are two different kinds of NDEs - those happening during clinical death (= indication of continuation) and those that happen under different circumstances: fear, pain, spiritual inspiration, drugs, etc.

@Ilir7777 did you read the article? Current scientific theories say NDEs shouldn't be possible at this period. I never said it isn't scientifically proven, only that science has not proven it.

Strange that you would talk about DMT. Rick Strassman, the man who connected DMT to dying people, have only theorize that DMT is released upon death. other researchers have disproven it. DMT does occur in the body, but it is not release in mass amount during death

[Ilir7777]

@DStrike0083 the brain is more complex than you think...showing no activity from the brain doesn't prove nothing happens. In my opinion, the brain releases a kind of dimethyltryptamine which will allow you to enter a stade of extasy, before really dying....

When people have had their arms cut during accidents, they said they could control the fingers for a certain amount of seconds, which is weird considering that the brain wasn't connected to it.

NDE doesn't prove anything to me

@DStrike0083 the person could just as easily have only dreamed after they were revived but before they became conscious. merely claiming it does not make it so. they need more evidence before i will jump boat.

@ultradumbass

1) cardiac patients show the closest signs of death. Their heart stops and we can record their brain electrical activity. You're basically clinically dead if you lack heart movements, 0 blood pressure, and no electrical activity. Yet how on earth does one see these things when their brain is shut down?

2) I think it's like dreaming. We all dream but rarely does one remember such dreams

I think share death experience are more interesting

MBA! MBA! MBA! MBA! Congratulations to all people who have commented saying that NDE's are nothing more than hallucinations from the dying brain. You've just won the Materialist Bravery Award! You have shown how INCREDIBLY SUPERIOR you are to those worthless quivering Afterlife-believers who think they're going to heaven. You are so much BETTER than they are! I do hearby bend down and kiss your glorious arses! And keep hoping nobody ever proves NDE's real or your exclusivity is GONE!

[ultradumbass]

@manners75 one thing i don't understand which is keeping me skeptical is why is it they only do these experiments on cardiac patients and why do the majority not remember their ndes?

[ultradumbass]

what is the most recent update with project aware? have they yet come out with positive results that there is in fact a life after death?

[MsSarabruno]

What the heck is his stance? I domt think he answered the question

[TheXxmmgg]

atheists have seen God. Jews have seen Jesus. Maybe all roads lead home and religion here is a tool to help us to understand God. There has been crossover of religious beliefs and NDE's. All religions have their points.
