Full Version: Near Death Experiences

Anyone here had any? and is the fact that most sound familar coincidence or not?
Yes i had one once...
I beleive they are real
I beleive they are real
I had one, I was moving through a tunnel towards a white light and people said "you can't come here yet because you are not finished with you work" I then threw up some poison and regained consciousness. I don't know if I was moving toward another dimension or just entering an altered state in my own mind. As I get older I find myself leaning towards the new diemnsion. Don't know why. 
If you mean near death experience as in almost getting your self killed than yes(I've had more than my fair share of those!).If you mean the bright light thing and the dead relatives than I have no idea.
Of course they are real, but its how the person interprets it
spiritual or just the brain in the process of dying.
I say, Brain dying
spiritual or just the brain in the process of dying.
I say, Brain dying
there are many cases of ppl who have not been near death but have had experiences that seem indentical to NDE's...from psychosis or the use of drugs...so it's def something w/ the brain.
nope i havent had any
I had one. I was able to ask anything I wanted, which was extremely cool. One of the things we discussed was drugs.
Alot of times people doing acid and some of the harder stuff would pop up through the layers that separates the living from the place you go when you cross over, ie "heaven". While on drugs you see through the illusion we've created down here. Some people can't get all the way back to 3 D reality down here and are "weird" ever after. They can't get back. Some ended up in mental hospitals in the 70's. I don't know what happens to them now-a-days.
p.s. If you see through the illusion...well...governments don't like that. They think it makes you uncontrollable, etc. Go figure.

I don't know. It's a controversial issue. I mean. How do you know its to do with a spiritual thing or a physical thing. I've heard it said that you get this tunnel vision thing when your brain has a lack of oxygen. Maybe it has something to do with the brain and nothing to do with God or another dimension. But I think, if it makes you a better person afterwards and makes a person appreciate their life and maybe live better, then it doesn't really matter.
We'll all find out in the end.

I believe they're real, but then my beliefs include a afterlife so for me it goes hand in hand.

Because we all have the same brains and the same chemicles make us experience the same things...
So dying brain would be exactly the same.
As some1 said above, NDE can be re-created with drugs

strange thing for a dying brain to com up with...
i had one.
it was kinda wierd i was watchen my self do awlful cruel things, from 3rd person view, althought at the time i didnt know who i was looking at it was like looking at a complet stranger that only looked familer.
their was some one beside me asking all kinds of questions and direting me where to look and leading me places.
i dont remember getting from point "a" to point "b" but i recall at each location the person kept saying "what is he doing,why is he doing that, do you know who he is?" id keep saying he seems sad or lonly hes aroagant mean disrespectful he should nt be doing that, i felt alot of pitty for that person.
it seemed like the whole thing lasted an eternity i began to hate the really dislike the person i was being shown, theres more but to make a long storie shorter when i recovered i remebered the whole expirence very vividly.
i wouldent know exactly what to call it but im a better goodwilled human being for it

This is a very emotive subject...........
My mother had a NDE back in 1998. She was being treated for cancer of the spine and one of her vertabrae had collapsed, pressing on the spinal column and causing extreme pain. She was taken down for a CAT scan, and the nurses bundled her awkwardly onto the trolley and left her. She was in so much pain, and totally unable to move or call out for help. She thought she was dying. She said she blacked out and felt herself being dragged down into a black pit of agony. Then a woman with dark hair and blue eyes appeared, and lifted her out of the pit. The woman told her that when the pain got this bad again, she would come and fetch her.
Then she heard other voices shouting "Oh my god - we're loosing her" and the pain came rushing back.
I dont know if it was a combination of the drugs and the agony caused by the tumours - but it brought her great comfort.
Also - if NDE's are a glimpse into the after-life - why are they sometimes horrific and filled with images of hell??

people go to heaven other people go to hell
This is gonna sound really funked-up but I've had one but it was my friend's death not my own. She was getting... well... you get the picture. All I remember was seeing someone strikingly familiar pushing the guy off of her, and we both think that it could've been me, although it doesn't let me remember faces for some very weird reason...

Here's something to ponder. If it's simply a brain function, then what is the explanation for people being able to see events after they've been pronounced dead? Many nder'ers have shocked medical personnel by repeating their conversations when there was no way they could have heard anything since they had flatland, etc.
The classic example is the woman who floated through the wall to see a tennis shoe on the building ledge outside. She re-entered her body and told the doctor, who of course, refused to believe her until he looked.
The brain is a powerful thing but so is the soul.
Heres a site and Forum run by and for people who have had a NDE....I would especially reccomend the sceptics to go visit.........these people know it's not a dying brain....they just know.
Anyways here it is......highly reccommended for anyone.

one day we may cum very close, but i suspect sum aspects will remain a mystery. i wuld like a neurologist or such to express their view of what they think NDE culd be and if it can be easily explained.
my husband's cousin had one, he saw the same thing tunnel with white light at the end, but he didnt reach to the end of the tunnel cause they where able to bring him back to life.
i believe in it.
i believe in it.
Everyone will have a near death experience atleast once in their life, because everyone dies! To say there is no such thing as near death experiences would be like saying noone ever dies.
I had an NDE 3 years ago.
There is no way anyone is going to convince me that the experience was a dream,
No dream totally changes your outlook on life, or changes the very fabric that is you.
I am not the person I was 3 years ago.
We have all been programmed.
It is this programming that prevents you from knowing more, because you THINK you already do know it all.
Open your minds.

Just because noothing happened does not mean that you did not have an NDE.
One of the types of NDE's is being in suspended animation.
There you are held by an angel until your human body recovers enough for you to re-enter your body.
This is the most common type of NDE

When you die your heart ceases to pump blood. Your brain takes a deep breath, holds it and awaits for the heart to start pumping again.

Easy tiger.. Don't jump ahead of yourself.
wot interests me is that the heaven/hell premonitions are very similar despite everyones different circumstances and all of us been unique. 
There is no point in asking about NDE's to anyone who hasn't had one.When i got curious on this subject i went to
www.nderf.org
and asked questions of people who have had them.Turtle has also rightly reccomended this site...so check it out and ask the experts.
Of all the nde reports i have read there ...not a single one believes that it is a dying brain...in fact they are 100% sure it is not...and this includes all kinds of formerly sceptical people...including doctors who would previously have backed the dying brain theory.
I myself was sceptical but hopeful that i would be convinced.....what i am convinced of is that not one of these people are liars or con artists....they know what they know....until we ourselves experience it we cannot know for sure.....but for me i do feel more reassured about things .....There a great account on there of a woman who had a car crash...when she died she floated above her body and saw two red cars pulling up at traffic lights a few streets away...when she got better she set about verifying this...it was pretty easy to do as she lived on a smallish island and it was very early in the morning...it turned out that the hire car company had indeed hired out 2 red cars at that time for people arriving from or going to the airport on the island....i could post a link if anyones interested ?
