Do you think near death experiences are real or are they just memories of a still active brain and thus-?

Question

are more based on a psychological experience and not based on an actual vision of life beyond death?

Answer 1

I think a vast majority are psychological only. People can be so emotionally distressed that they actually cry blood, so why couldn't they envision such things when near death?

Answer 2

I had a near death experience as a result of surviving a house fire, barely. I was actually out of harms way and fully awake when I had it. The experience went like this. I felt myself "gently rocking" out of my body, then going through the tunnel everyone talks about, spinning and spinning, until I arrived at the most brilliant white light that can't be totally described. It was all colors but it was white. And it was the brightest white I ever saw, but it didn't hurt my eyes. There was literally a knowing, not a belief, but a knowing that this was God. His message to me was to learn meditation. I didn't know much about meditation and I lived in a small town in Colorado at the time with no gurus around. But as fate would have it, within the week some people started offering meditation classes in the basement of the Lutheran Church and I learned how to go within, changing my life. When the student is ready the teacher will appear.

Answer 3

Because the experiences seem tailor made to fit a person's belief system I think it's likely they're a psychological construct.

After all... many of those near death experiences come from the basis of an exclusionary religion. For example - a Christian having a near death experience and meeting Jesus might proclaim the vision evidence that their faith is true... but in doing so they would also have to accept a near death experience from a Pagan that meets Gia as evidence that their faith is true.

Answer 4

I have experienced it myself after my heart bypass operation in 1990.
It all look so real, and I was so happy, seeing myself completely a different person, working and my wife and our daughter doing the washup and hanging wet cloths to dry on the line. The area, the country, the whole environment, the timber house, the country side with mountains on the horizon.
All of these are not me!
Then I came to my consciousness and opened my eyes, a veil of sadness drop on my subconscious, to see the situation I was really in.

Answer 7

I believe they're real. As a child, I had a brain abscess. I was in a coma, but I remember having a test done. There was a machine above me, someone was holding my hand, and there were men facing me. I was watching from an upper corner of the room. I told my dad years later and it freaked him out. I had described one of the tests perfectly--the men were doctors, and he was the person holding my hand.

Now i believe it to be literal, no longer symbolic. i imagine I had an NDE in clinical institution, then an OBE.
