Question

Do you believe it really is a spiritual experience, or is it just chemistry?

Answer 1

I believe, people have floated out of there bodies and they’ve seen what’s happening all around them and the doctor confirmed there’s no way these people could have seen this while going through a cardio arrest, no pulse, nothing! Children from 3 years old also have had NDE; on the age of 3 you haven’t form a basis for religion. This One boy had a heart attack, 3 years old, he kept on asking when is his mother taking him to the pretty place with the nice lady and his mother couldn’t understand were this place is. So a couple of years went by and one day they went through a photo album and he said to his mother this is the lady that hold his hand in the pretty place and you know what it was his grandmother that he never meat before. This NDE book was a doctor that didn’t believe but he started a study and today he believes!

Answer 2

As someone that supports the validity of a great many paranormal events I seriously doubt the caims of near-death experience. In many years of looking into the paranormal i have only uncovered a very few of of those experiences that were not pleasant, even among people that by should not HAVE such things (unrepentant murders, rapists, pedophiles who are not only unrepentatn but are glad they did what they did and willingly acmit their desire to do it again). The one that have reported unpleasant experiences were only misinterpreting another experience as those that I have found were more similar to the reports of shamanic initiatory experiences that anything else...I fully accept that there is a physiological phenomen responsible for the reports of near-death experiences...although such things CAN have a profound spiritual impact on the person experienceing it.

Answer 3

One of my paternal grandmother's brother had a vivid NDE when he was young. He forgot it later though but all his family member cannot forget the elaborate descriptions that he gave just after miraculously come alive from being dead for about 12 or 14 hours! He was not much of a tell-tale and not too religious. SO, I do think that it may have been a spiritual experience. Plus, his descriptions matched with physical manifestation of some of the wounds and scratches on his back that appeared when he came alive but were not there before.

Answer 4

I provide this 10 hugs! ma wrote one the different day that spoke to me on an intuitive point. Deep as though related I felt her poem. i know this poem and desire i'm going to have arise with the methods you used to grant it- i like the way you chosen the dictionary, calendar, properly meaning and destiny desire. i myself do no longer think of a few people will ever sense the top of deeper information. This leaves me with remembering the grief that i'm relatively on my own because of the fact no longer something and no possible at circumstances make it extra desirable. My spirituality is the only porthole or perhaps then because of the fact i'm no longer appropriate, I doubt. i know i've got "long gone off" from the place this lead yet lol this is me. BTW- Love the final line so very plenty.

Answer 5

NDEs, i cannot explain bec. i never experience it yet, but i passed out 3x on different occassions of my entire life and it happened very fast, maybe more than a minute or two, but what i remembered out of 3, first it felt like a long time where i went and felt like i was surrounded by a lot of people, a bit hazy, and what i only saw are like mostly heads of people shadowy and all of them were like saying something to me all at the same time, i don't know and don't remember what they say, and when i am being revived back, always have this feeling of being pulled back to consciousness like a rocket back to earth very fast (like a vacuum)...i am not sure where i went but one thing i do know after those 2 vivid experiences, i am definitely going back there (spirits or souls) for whatever reason, that's yet to be seen..

Answer 6

Thanks for the link.

I would say that there is a case for an afterlife considering the lack of brainwaves in some of the investigated experiences. How they will prove it - - - therein lies the challenge.

I personally have no beliefs but am curious - and I do hope there is something past the stage of death. It's a very interesting topic.

Answer 7

Hi,

six years ago i was giving birth to my daughter and the pain was immense i tried telling the nurses but they thought it was all part and parcel of giving birth, then the next thing i know i was moving forwards in to a black tunnel, don't ask me how i knew it was a tunnel as it was pitch black but somewhere deep down i knew it was i was half way down the tunnel yet again i dont know how i knew this when i heard my husbands voice shout my name in the distance, every time i heard him shout i got jerked violently back up the tunnel, i had mixed emotions about this it was so peaceful in the tunnel but i longed to be with my husband, when i came round the nurses told me i had gone in to stress and it was touch and go ...it just makes me wonder.

Answer 8

I have an open mind at the moment. I have heard of many people who have had a near death expeirience, so who am I not todisbeleive them?

Answer 9

It's very real! There have been too many experiences documented for it to be any thing but real!
