Near death experience

[David1967]

I believe in NDEs as far as people experiencing something, but those same people need to understand that it is called a "near death" experience, and not a "death" experience. No one has died, started to decomp, gone through rigor mortis and then came back to tell a tale. If anything, a NDE still allows for the brain to be firing neurons and such and what is experienced is an altered mental state.

Once someone has a legal death (and not clinical, which is what all NDEs are) and comes back, then we have a story!

You have a point. And I think many NDE's may fall into that category but I don't think they all due. It is interesting that most NDE'S that I have read tend to correspond to the religion of the one having the experience.

I agree. Luckily for me I was brought up in a non religious household so my own experience was free from its influence. I also would like to add that their maybe ancestral and past life influences play their part.

The only religious imagery was the cathedral in my own NDE, and being asked did I believe in God ! The Source of All Things has a sense of humor ! Wicked ! It played on my mind for a few years the God 'thing', I was a staunch atheist in a way although I had an inner knowing that there was a purpose in all this.
