These links are a good place for those interested to start.
Dr. Raymond Moody, Dr. Elizabith Keubler-Ross, Dr. Kenneth Ring, Dr. Melvin Morse, and many other NDE researchers, need to be read to find truth. The materialists seldom read material by experiencers, so this material has not found its way into the general public yet. But it will.
You seem to be addressing your remarks to the readers of this thread instead of the posts, as if you think they are not intelligent enough to make up their own minds. Typical materialist mistake.
No, I am addressing my remarks to a person that will use any excuse to promote his own website, no matter how weak the link to the subject at hand is.
And I am telling this same person to stop doing this. Now.
I have to ask, have you actually read the information you’re linking to? Because all the study does is examine what factors are important in determining whether or not cardiac patients experience a NDE; It doesn’t address whether NDEs are real or not in the least.
From that site:
It is quite obvious that damage to the brain can result in things like loss of memories and changes in personality. This would indicate that they do originate in the brain. The whole “the brain as an antenna” concept has no proof, is unnecessary, and results in adding another layer of complexity to the situation without successfully explaining anything.
My web site is where my research is stored. I access it in order to be brief and not need to type the same links over and over.
When I post a link to my site on the Doppers board it usually results in somewhere between 25 to 40 hits in a week. There are usually over 1000 hits a week by others. I really am not after the number of hits. I do not sell anything on my site. You can’t buy 1 cent of anything and it costs me a lot of money to support it on social security. I keep the site going for educational and informational reasons. It is a help to those who have had spiritual experiences and want to talk about them and learn.
It is also a help to those who wish to know more about near death experiences than the materialistic media is willing to show.
Now, telling me I can’t access the research information on my site effectively bans me from participating in spiritual debates because the board doesn’t allow large amounts of quoted material either.
The only thing really important about the study was:
P. van Lommel went on to say: “Several theories have been proposed to explain NDE. We did not show that psychological, neurophysiological, or physiological factors caused these experiences after cardiac arrest.”
Now this doesn’t tell us what a NDE is, but it does tell us what it’s not. NDEs are not caused by the dying brain, or the dying body.
So, with that out of the way, we can look for other causes, one of which is the possibility of the “soul” or “spirit”. The research indicates the consciousness and the body are separate entities.
More studies are underway to verify this founding and should soon be heard from.
No, it actually doesn’t. They didn’t show that psychological, neurophysiological, or physiological factors caused NDEs, but they also didn’t show the aforementioned factors did not cause of NDEs.

The University of Virginia is collecting what they call “Veridical NDEs”. These are experiences where the individual dies and then comes back to life with information not known before their death.
In the research study there was the one about the “false teeth” that surprised the doctor. The most famous Veridical NDE is Pam Reynolds surgery. This is the most documented of all, and what I believe started the current interest and research into NDEs.
These experiences form a bridge between consciousness in the body and out of it. They show that life continues after the body is dead. Thus indicating the existence of a soul or spirit. Scientists in four universities are now studing this aspect of the NDE. I hope we will hear more from them soon.
Wherever you find a group of experiences you will find these NDEs. There are hundreds of them and by sheer numbers bring meaning to the word “soul”. I think with this information you will have enough material to ponder.
Having read hundreds of these accounts, the majority say they exited their body from the top of their head. This would indicate the soul resides in the brain, maybe. Or further down, not for sure. I have also read many spiritual accounts that say the soul surrounds the body and that’s the reason for the aura that some people can see.
So if your soul and your aura are one and the same, the “quality” of those colours could be a reflection of the collection of thoughts and actions (a page in the Book of Life)?
Yes, the aura is brighter in relation to spiritual growth.
The colors reveal emotions and thoughts.
Some people see these colors surrounding others all their life, it is just natural to them and they believe everyone sees them. At least until they get old enough to learn different.
I can see auras only by meditation. I am not very good at it.
