Yes, I believe those who have seen "spirits" or had a "near death experience" are either not being truthful, or are misunderstanding the chemistry of their own brains. There are studies that report a massive hormone surge as the brain dies - it's like the body's natural shutdown mechanism, to make death more bearable and pain-free. The surge of things like serotonin makes the mind do strange things, even see strange things, but it's all within our own minds. It's amazing how people's "near death experiences" reports are all conditioned to their own culture and belief system - but it make sense, because they exist only insofar as their own brain hormones condition their experiences.[/quote]

I had a near death, out of body experience. I am a Christian with a strong faith and yet I did not see or experience any kind of spiritual aspect at all. All that happened to me was that my vantage point in the room changed. Instead of lying in the bed looking north, I was in the upper corner of the room looking south out into a hallway. I saw my mother walk into the room, speak to a doctor and faint on the floor. All of which would have happened out of my eyesight if I had only been seeing the room from the bed, and would have required me being conscious. I know my body never moved from the bed, obviously I wasn't floating near the ceiling but my spirit or something shifted perspectives. I have no idea how or why or what. I don't even try to understand or explain it because I can't. It just was what it was. [/quote] [/quote]

I've had dreams like this. The human brain is a wondrous thing. [/quote]

Amen![/quote]
