Sheila S NDE


Classification NDE4794 Sheila S NDE 9025

This experience is told to 🕊️ Peggi, a friend of 🕊️ Sheila's for almost 30 years.

Sheila passed away three ☠️ times, with the longest time being approximately ☠️ 15 to 18 minutes while in the hospital. Here’s the actual recording with a tiny bit of editing. Once Sheila could talk and I heard her say that 🕊️ Jesus came to her, I immediately got my recorder out.

A Doctor’s Fascinating Investigation of Near-Death Experiences (ft. Dr. Michael Sabom)


Sean McDowell 210K subscribers 6,528 views January 12, 2024
 
As a critical cardiologist, Dr. Michael Sabom first thought near-death experiences were "hogwash." After designing and implementing the first scientific study of NDE's in the 1970s, he was stunned at what he found. In this interview, Dr. Sabom discloses his surprising findings and discusses how the professional field of NDEs has radically changed since its inception in the 1970s.

AGelbert NOTE: This thread is a continuation of this one.

dreamjoehill said, "Do NDEs prove that "there is an afterlife of far more longer duration and importance than this one"? I don't see it. They are by definition short lived, the dying return to life and only get a glimpse of what is on the other side. They don't prove that ego or individual personality live on."

AGelbert > dreamjoehill
Well, I do see it. WHY? Mainly because of scientific evidence that, during an NDE, when there is ZERO brain activity and a person is 100% flat lined, our being exhibits, not just normal, but increased sensory awareness while irrefutably NOT observing surroundings (e.g. a VERY long number on top of a medical machine, the number on top of an ambulance, a leg amputated and put in a yellow plastic bag during surgery on somebody else in the same hospital, etc., you get the picture) from within the physical body.

Your POV is, perhaps, based on the idea that this brief excursion out of the body is some quasi-physical part of our physical being, that science has not been able to measure yet, that "goes away" when we have been physically dead "for long enough". Modern medicine does not accept that as an objective basis for excluding the permanent existence of our conscious being outside the physical body. An NDE is not the same as being in a Coma without visible life signs. Those in a Coma have brain wave activity.

If your hypothesis was true, it would be expected that people in a Coma (about as close as you can get to being dead - and yeah, severely stressed physiological life support systems cause people to enter into a Coma - Severe Physiological Stress is the excuse most use to "explain" NDE experiences, that is, when they are unable to hang the "hallucination" hat on them.) would report experiencing NDEs, but there is no causal link reported by NDE researchers between a Coma and an NDE.

You CAN trigger a Coma. Doctors do that all the time when absolutely required for some medical procedure, though you certainly can enter a Coma from severe stress without some doctor pumpimg you with massive amounts of insulin. You CANNOT trigger an NDE by putting someone in a Coma.

Clinical death means no senses, period. The fact that there are proven out of body sensual perceptions (e.g. even from people blind FROM BIRTH before AND AFTER the NDE) is evidence for the physical body being subordinate to the spirit, not the other way around. Thus, this objectively presents the uncomfortable case, for those who think that the 3D Universe is "primary", that  our consciousness is a function of that non-physical part of us commonly called the spirit or the soul. The inescapable logical corollary is that the body requires, in addition to all of its physiological mechanisms, a soul to be alive. No, medical science makes no such claim.

So, believe what you will about that brief glimpse of what is on the other side. Anyone that reads what you wrote, and accepts your hypothesis, will come to the conclusion that the "other side" is not really there.

You cannot have it both ways, bro. IF there IS life after death (i.e. the Other Side) it is permanent, not a transitory hallucination on the way to oblivion.

Do you, or do you not, believe in the reality of the metaphysical nature of our Universe along with its physical nature?

Paul the Apostle was not a medical doctor, but without having to resort to Plato's Cave (though that works quite well for that purpose 😁), to explain the overriding eternal reality and importance of the afterlife, compared physical life with that of a seed. Paul is exactly right.

1 Corinthians Chapter 15 (selected verses for brevity: my emphasis)
35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:

44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a 🌱 spiritual body.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

AGelbert NOTE: This thread is a continuation of this one.

Collectivist Action  > AGelbert
May god bless you, my friend.

Could you , or someone, post this song for me. It succinctly sums up my views on 'morality':

"Open Up Your Senses", by Horace Silver (on Youtube)?

AGelbert > Collectivist activist

As you say, Hmmmm...

The bottom line is that you are an ethics based person of good will who firmly believes, through EVIDENCE BASED REASON resulting from your senses being FULLY OPENED, that Naturalism is all there is. Therefore, your worldview, of ideological necessity, draws a line in the sand that EXCLUDES THE SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY of ANY human experience on the other side (i.e. AFTER physical Death) of "properly opened senses" of that LINE (i.e. "The physical Universe is all there is and all life evolved by random undirected processes").

And yet, you see no irony in the fact that your worldview is actually far more exclusionary than my worldview, which argues, among other things, that life exists on both sides of that line.

Okay, if I am the "closed senses" dude here, why is it that you flat refuse to accept THE SCIENTIFIC  EVIDENCE that NDEs take place on the AFTER PHYSICAL LIFE side of that line, if not because you are the one who has chosen to limit your senses?

May God Bless you with an appreciation of the reality of NDEs obtained, not via superstition, not via religious beliefs, but only via scientific method obtained empirical evidence.

#GaryHabermas #NearDeathExperiences #CarpentersDesk #Jesus #Resurrection

In this engaging conversation with Asher John of the Carpenter's Desk, Dr. Gary Habermas discusses Near Death Experiences (NDEs). He makes a distinction between non-verifiable, out-worldly NDE claims and verifiable, this-worldly claims, and surveys us through the NDE research in the last few decades. By walking us through several evidenced cases, he presents a thorough case against 🐵 naturalism and evidence for an afterlife.

Gary Habermas on the Scientific Evidence for Near-Death Experiences


Discovery Science 209K subscribers Nov 1, 2023 ID The Future Podcast
 
Is there strong scientific evidence for near-death experiences? On this ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid speaks with Dr. Gary Habermas about his chapter evaluating the evidence for near-death cases in the new book Minding the Brain: Models of the Mind, Information, and Empirical Science. As Dr. Habermas explains, most near-death accounts contain both objective and subjective elements. Personal testimony about other realms can't be independently corroborated, but objective evidence rooted in this world can be confirmed and evaluated. "I can't verify heavenly discussions or heavenly sites," says Habermas, "so the kind of NDE data I'm talking about virtually always occur on this earth in normal kinds of situations, like parking lots or in your home two miles away. That's where the evidence comes from." Dr. Habermas relays several examples of near-death cases with strong evidential support. He also lays out five different lines of verifiable phenomena. Tune in to learn more about the scientific case for this intriguing phenomenon.

After Death: The Science Behind The Movie (An Interview with Dr. Jeffrey Long)


Discovery Science 209K subscribers Oct 25, 2023 ID The Future Podcast

Is there life after death? Can science shed any light on this age-old question? And is the mind simply the workings of the brain, or is it something else? On this episode of ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid chats with Dr. Jeffrey Long, a radiation oncology physician and one of the scientists featured in the new Angel Studios feature film After Death.

As founder of the Near-Death Experience Research Foundation, Dr. Long has investigated over 4,000 near-death experiences (NDEs), the largest number of near-death cases ever assembled and studied. The results of his research are published in the New York Times bestselling book Evidence of the Afterlife: The Science of Near-Death Experiences.

In this interview, Dr. Long explains the hallmarks of a near-death experience and the common themes found in most near-death accounts. He also shares nine lines of evidence that support the scientific case for afterlife consciousness. And he explains why skepticism is a healthy part of science, while ideological rigidity can inhibit the scientific pursuit of truth.

Learn more about Dr. Long's work at the website of his research foundation, www.nderf.org.

After Death — A Riveting Glimpse of the Hereafter

October 18, 2023, 6:38 AM


I’ve just watched a remarkable, riveting documentary that releases in theaters on October 27 – After Death. It’s too bad the famous line from Hamlet has become a bit of a cliché — “There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy” — since it so perfectly captures what I took away from the film. There sure are a lot more things about reality than are captured by a narrow naturalistic view.

The message of the film, by directors Stephen Gray and Chris Radtke, is extremely well conveyed. It’s beautifully photographed, produced, and enacted, making use of actors and ordinary people who describe what they say happened to them while briefly dead, before being revived in a medical setting. No small number have died, only to be brought back thanks to advances in healing unknown to past generations. Of these, some number offer reports of an otherworldly realm, beyond yet somehow connected to our own. For those who go and come back, there is both joy and grief. Make of it what you will.


Lots of Ways to Die

We meet doctors who have had the experience themselves or who carefully documented what others have gone through. There are lots of ways to die: A horrific car or airplane accident. A catastrophic health emergency. Attempted suicide by kitchen knife. A drowning. Each of these is followed by seeing visions that often, but I think not always, follow a pattern.

The “dead” person may see the room or other locale where he lies and observe actions by others going on around him. This is “autoscopy” — seeing yourself from outside, and reports of it have in some cases been objectively verified. More subjective (perhaps) are accounts of travel to a heavenly realm to meet loved ones who have passed on, and to meet God. Disturbingly, according to the film, 23 percent of near-death experiences (NDEs) are not of heaven but of hell. “One of the scariest moments in my life,” says one man. (Only “one of”?) “A pit of despair and hopelessness,” says another.

The interviews are fascinating. The subjects describe being, while dead, “more alive than I’ve ever felt,” ““conscious and then more conscious,” immersed in “an ocean of love.” Some are anguished to realize they’ve been returned to our earthly existence, from their true home, against their will. Nor is everyone who comes back necessarily improved by the experience, at least not at first. A man who died with his life disordered felt he went down to hell, then was rescued by Jesus. He wished to share what he learned with others but became, in his own words, a “zealot” who alienated everyone around him. A neurosurgeon recalls talking with a patient who, after being medically dead, recounted details of her autoscopic experience. “As she spoke,” says the surgeon, “I became spooked.” That makes two of us.

Hope for the Hereafter

The filmmakers plainly wish to give hope for the hereafter, and no doubt with many viewers, they will succeed. But After Death is not a simple vehicle for that. Parts of it are scary and disturbing. While generally appearing to reflect a Christian perspective, the theology here, insofar as it’s articulated, doesn’t clearly match any one recognizable religion. The heavenly imperative seems to be, above all, that humans in their lifetime on Earth should love each other. That makes sense to me, but I’m not sure that it’s an orthodox view, or more of a modern one. Being modern doesn’t mean it’s not true. It’s suggested, also, that these experiences are cross-cultural. It would be interesting to know what people outside the American context report.

One could ask other questions, like why is the information imparted here, while pertaining to ultimate matters, conditioned on something wholly worldly like advances in life-saving medical techniques? And if God is love, indeed an “ocean of love,” and if that figure of 23 percent is meaningful, how can it be that he sends approximately one quarter of humans to hell?

For audiences, there will be much to discuss afterward. For the materialist, in particular, there is a great deal to ponder and to try to explain in naturalistic terms, if he can.
