[Poleschs]

Deepak Chupra is a conman, writing idiotic crap which he know nothing about. Just watch his debate with Sam Harris and Michael Shermer, for example.

lack of oxygen in the brain? That's how they explain NDE? Wow...

[petermacaluso1]

@Edelien Well yes, and lack of oxygen to the brain isn't the only cause of the events someone experiences while near death. If you read some of the science, such a prospect wouldn't seem so far fetched, though if you think about it it's hardly far fetched intuitively. And another thing that needs to be pointed out: NDE- near death experience-is something quite distinct from death or being dead.

I really enjoyed hearing him talk about his daily routines and writing strategies. I might have to take notes and copy his style a little bit. Great uploads! : )

[pawsoned]

Questions from the listeners are brilliant but I find his answers opaque

[humbabwe]

@Edelien you should probably read about it before you try and make it sound ridiculous... it actually makes a lot of sense.

the brain is a 3D structure the mind is relative to the observer.
