"I believe once you have opened that window, or crack the door to what happens in the afterlife, you carry it with you as a marker of sorts, or you are able to be in touch with things that you can't quite understand," he said.

I've noticed things like this claim again and again. My theory is that the NDE is a separation of the astral/soul body from the physical and once you have a strong one, it becomes easier to have separation and spiritual/psychic experiences in the future. Kind of like a mother that has had multiple babies having easier deliveries after the first.

A lot of these people that have these experiences claim to be going down a dark tunnel or void towards a point of light.

I can''t remember where, but I read the medical examination for it once. It is like a chemical reaction of the brain at the possible end of the brain function.

Is that concrete proof or theory by scientist?

Might not be exactly what you're thinking.

And yet you felt compelled to comment about it.

I had a near death experience, it happened when I was a child of fourteen and I still don’t understand it after all these years have gone by.  I’ll be sixty this week.

Would it matter?

You and PG are room mates on this voyage.

Yes. Because i want to know why i should listen to this guy. I know it's a foreign concept to you, but it's called "LEARNING". You ask questions and hopefully, the answers supply you with information you did not have before. Strange, i know.

Isn't that enough reason, to learn. Learning for the sake of learning.

The experience has been around for a very long time.  I'm not sure how I feel about these experiences because many of the reports have elements that go against Biblical belief.  I'll stick to scripture.  If the skeptics are correct, I'll never become aware of it.  If my belief is correct, death will be a simple transition of consciousness from the physical body to the spiritual body.

It is the most boring NDE I have ever read. Next!

I know a guy that had a near death experience that handed his life. He was very anti-gun until someone took a few shots at him then he bought a gun.
