The light people see when they have a near death experience is really a giant bug zapper, right?

Answer 1

The dawning of the Tibetan Bardot .. digestion back towards source ... dissimilation of the aggregate mini "i"'s of mind, emotion, and instincts ... the little i that used to hum songs goes to a heaven of temporal rewards .. the little i that used to get "so angry" goes to a temporal place of punishment (more dream than material) ... the most polished i mourns the fact that it didn't harness all these little i's to the bigger "I" .. thus the will begins to pull the monad back ... to a womb at other similar planetary alignments where lessons can be resumed ... little "i"'s as numerous as is the host of Elohim ...
A bug zapper ... That would mean freedom ... annihilation .. paranirvana ... and union ... usually alot of "disincarnate" service (bhodhisatva,saint,inner planes teaching if you like ) is done before that can be attained .. once past being human ...
But I hope I get a bug zapper ... that would be a nice relief ... I get tired of the wheels ... and osmosing through lines ..

Answer 2

And just what do you mean by light people..
Near death experience are not confined to light people..
Dark (****** 0 over cook), Yellow (Chines half cook), Brown (Filipinos, Malaysians,- the best race, rightly cook), etc..,Americans (Not cook)

Zapper,, you can do it either the Zen way or the Budhist way...

I am a christian but if what you mean by that giant bug zapper is meditation,,,, believe in the way of budha...

do what the budhist do...

religion do not matter,,, what matter most is your belief in God, no matter how you conceive Him to be..

Answer 3

Some people don't see a bright light at all. They find themselves looking down at their bodies while others work on them trying to revive them. No Bug Zappers anywhere in sight!!

Answer 4

No. It is a visual artifact caused by oxygen starvation to the visual cortex of the brain. The tunnel effect is actually pretty well understood as a complex interaction of the brain's visual edge-detection and response to light/dark. People undergoing extreme G forces have this same experience, hence why it was once believed that if a human being managed to get faster than 35mph (yes, that's 35 miles per hour), his/her soul would be torn from his/her body.

Answer 5

Its heaven to me but if you would like to believe that then ask GOD when you stand in that bug zapper after your death!

Answer 6

Possibly...but if you believe in reincarnation I'd beware of that light. You might just be the bug...

Answer 7

Right!

Answer 8

No, but of course you're just making a joke. On the other hand, some might like to read some answers anyway.

It would be wonderful to believe that the near death experiences we've read about were due to some spiritual/religious miracle. However, medical science can provide medical/scientific insight on the various reported experiences, like the feeling of being in a tunnel or very bright light and feelings of euphoria and once again, proven data can support that these experiences are medically explainable.

Medical science interprets near-death experiences as caused by neurobiological factors.

The angular gyrus is associated with the way the brain analyzes sensory information to give us a perception of sound, touch, balance, memory and speech and thus of our own bodies. Its malfunctioning can also result in visions of floating outside of ourselves. This gives cause for researchers to examine this temporal area of the brain that researchers refer to as the God Spot .

A “being of light” perceived during near-death experiences is probably caused due to increased blood flow to the brain caused by revival efforts. A new study suggests that out-of-body experiences and near-death experiences, especially the ‘tunnel of light’ may be influenced by neuro-chemical pathways activated under stress but the experiment does not necessarily prove that all near-death experiences are illusions.

Another explanation is that oxygen-starved sensory neurons in the eyes may begin to fire at random. Since these sensory neurons are more densely packed near the center of the eye, the person experiences a bright light at the center of their vision-field which grows dimmer towards the periphery thereby creating a tunnel-like image.

Near-death experiences occur most frequently with cardiac arrest because it causes loss of blood flow to the brain resulting in clinical death of the cerebral cortex if deprived of blood supply for more than 10 seconds. Blood flow must be restored to normal levels within six minutes to prevent cerebral cortex death. However, lower brain structures are capable of functioning continuously for much longer periods of time, which is necessary for near-death experiences to occur.

Also since the auditory nerve is located at the lower level of the pons, hearing is the last sense to be anesthetized prior to surgery and the first sense to return in the recovery room. Thus, a person who is clinically dead can hear and form memories of it to recall what doctors and relatives in the room said. Since in the lower brain, early childhood memories are stored about the care received from parents and relatives, people report seeing or communicating with deceased relatives. There is also the argument that when a person is faced with the prospect of dying, the person’s hopes or expectations of being reunited with deceased loved ones will produce hallucinations of deceased people.

Scientific understanding of the brain chemistry involved in the processes of death and what happens to consciousness after death continue to be studied. The results of the loss and recovery of consciousness experiments in healthy humans may provide insight into the normal processes in the brain that occurs in association with near-death experiences.

I too wish the religious stories of continuing on, seeing Grandma and Jesus waiting at the pearly gates for us and living happily on a cloud with family and friends! Maybe attending a concert in Rock and Roll Heaven? All religions have their own ideas of what happens after death and I am not singling any one religion in this response.

In fact, why are people so anxious to be religious? In my opinion, it is because they cannot bear to imagine nothingness, no reunion with loved ones, no heaven or hell. All through time all civilizations have tried to explain things they don't understand with some sort of religious dogma to ease fear and create hope.

However, there is no measurable data to show anything mystical, spiritual or even unexplained about these phenomena.

I recommend that you enjoy this life to the absolute fullest because we are likely just going to die and rot in the ground. I feel so angry and frustrated with people who waste their lives based on fairy tales, waiting for their real, spirtual life to be better. I know there are many good people of all religions do wonderful things for others in the name of religion. But at the bottom of it all, I believe fear of the unknown is the major reason religions exist.

Even if I'm wrong, why take a chance? Do right by others because its the right thing to do and stop trying to prove fairy tales can come true! I am sorry this is so long, but it hopefully will be interesting to those who are really looking for knowledge.

Answer 9

I think it's caused by endorphins being released in their brains.

Answer 10

Could be. But then I haven't seen it yet.
