Any suggestions on the following…

@LeopoldBloom interesting article.

@TangledUpInBlue I first read about NDEs in Raymond Moody's book Life After Life which was one of the first popular treatments of the phenomenon. Since then I've read other accounts and am familiar with the so-called "proofs," like the Shoe on the Ledge, the Denture Man, and the Pam Reynolds case. These are more out of body experiences but the concept is the same - that human consciousness can persist and have experiences independently from the body. The problem is that these are anecdotal and not conducted under rigorous laboratory conditions. And the books about people dying and meeting Jesus or visiting hell or whatever come across as pure grift. I don't care if someone swears that they met their grandmother in heaven who told them where a long-lost piece of jewelry was, and they shocked their family when they went back and retrieved it. As Thomas Paine said, is it more likely that nature deviates from its course, or a man tells a lie?

Nevertheless this is a fascinating topic that deserves serious research as it could illuminate aspects of consciousness even if it does nothing to answer the question of what happens after we die.

@TangledUpInBlue I’ve run across most if not all of them- granted not a whole lot describing meeting religious figures and the tunnel of white light. A life review process, being shown how their impact on people in their lives have affected them. Being told information about the nature of reality as mainly by religious figures/deities/angels. Similar to those on psychedelics, similar stories…I’m just curious hear about what else it is in different way.

@Wiseacre Really? I would be happy to die in my sleep rather than struggling through that transition while awake.

@ThePatientAnarchist I never liked nasty surprises.

@DyingDaily lol says the person with your username.😎

@therighttothink50 I question the validity of what a soul is. Too many stories about what that is, it’s function, it’s supposed memories and plans for the individual and what it isn’t. But I understand what you mean.

@Infamous607 I know what you want to accomplish, just saving time. You know what you mean, I know what you mean. So anything else you have to say, what’s the point? This is all you are going to get with me. But go on if you must.

@MentalDisturbance it doesn't matter

@Infamous607 👌

@LeopoldBloom thanks, I watched the first three episodes.

@MentalDisturbance The level of quality continues throughout the series.

@LeopoldBloom seems like it👌
