[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP with the NDE mom here -- I think you have to allow for the individual's socially and culturally influenced interpretation of the NDE after awakening. Raymond Moody has collected many stories of NDEs from people of all/no faiths, and each person tends to assign meaning to the experience that aligns with his or her belief system. Some felt the presence of God, some of Jesus, some of departed family. A few even felt they experienced "Hell." It's like remembering and explaining a dream -- a lot is lost/twisted in the telling.[/quote] It would be interesting to do a study of brain waves during NDE's -- to see if they are basically all the same, or differ by religion or other factors. I've heard that studies done with different types of religious meditators (Buddhist/Catholic monks) show exactly the same kind of activity in the same location in the brain -- indicating that it's a mental thing, not a religious thing,[/quote]
