2 Twenty-eight of those had a true medical crisis, while the other 30 were not medically endangered at the time. An excellent but seldom cited study examined the medical records of 58 people who experience near-death.
So far, inundating the public with near-death topics has most served to reinforce media stereotypes rather than rooting out mistaken ideas.įor half of the instances of “near-death” the term is a misnomer because the person does not face imminent death. Today’s early 21 st century view of these NDE starts by first training our gaze on near-death’s many overlooked scientific truths some facts deliberately ignored and others simply neglected. Yet, NDE fulfills his expectation of a spiritual experience whereby “feelings, acts and experiences” touch “whatever they may consider the divine.” 1 In the early 20 th century, American physician, philosopher and psychologist William James makes little mention of NDE in his seminal work, The Varieties of Religious Experience. The drama of going through a tunnel, being enveloped by “the light,” floating above one’s body, and sometimes meeting deceased loved ones or spiritual beings constitutes a narrative thoroughly portrayed by the media. In our time, near-death experiences (NDE) dominates the discussion of spiritual experience. Nelson explores near-death experiences through the lens of science and discovers that near-death fits within the conventional neuroscience framework as securely as the Germ Theory of Disease and Evolution stand in other branches of science.
