That is really freaky that something like that can be the result of an oncoming seizure.
That point of my post was “this is how it happened to me” - information for those interested.
I still do not understand why you assumed it was a challenge, when it did not contradict any statement you made.
I’m finding this place a bit unpleasant these days …
Simplest explanation I’ve heard is that the brain starts shutting down from lack of oxygen. The last part of the brain to check out is the visual cortex - which would explain the common ‘floating-in-a-tunnel-toward-the-bright-light’ experience most NDE people describe since peripheral vision fades to black 1st & central vision last (picture the last second of the series finale of *the Sopranos *for central vision cutting out). Then, while unconscious, they dream about their lives, including dead relatives (another common theme, talking to the dead). If they’re revived in time, their short-term memory still has the tunnel-dead relative imprint - and think that they were propelled thru a tunnel & ‘saw’ the dead. Criminals and evildoers, on the other hand, have visions of hell - for even if they don’t believe in such things, their sub-conscious tells them this is their possible fate as drilled into them from childhood.
In sum, most NDEs can be physiologically explained by brain (near) death. Notice how the tunnel-bright light theme is not common for most ordinary sleep dreams, when the brain is not oxygen-deprived.
OTOH, when I was a wee tot, I had surgery under general anesthetic (they used ether in those days) and vividly remember a falling thru a tunnel, bright light at the end, etc. which parallels many NDE descriptions. So the “losing consciousness” paradigm makes sense no matter how you are getting there.
No, I didn’t see Jebus. Guess he was tied up somewhere.
