Head in sand response by you....

The Near Death Experience has been experienced and documented by thousands of people around the world. It is the subject of numerous research projects and has been written about in top medical journals for decades.

It has also been experienced by many medical doctors who were previously non-believers.

To respond as you do shows that you are close to being a member of the “Flat Earth” Society.”

I’ve had many medical Dr’s tell me of numerous accounts of their patients experiencing death and returning. Some ER physicians, some cardiologists, and some surgeons... It’s very common with the improvements in medicine.

At a Duke University Hospital Medical School Grand Rounds about a year ago the presentation was on research conducted at the hospital with MRI brain scans.

They took a group of people and asked them to imagine standing in place hitting tennis balls. While doing that, the MRI of their brain was performed and the researchers found that the same place in the brain lit up for each person.

They then repeated the process and changed the imagination to running around on a tennis court, but not hitting tennis balls. A different part of the brain lit up, but was similar for each subject.

Then they had them imagine standing still and hitting balls for 30 seconds, at the bell sound they switched to imagining running around but not hitting tennis balls. This was done for several consecutive sequences for several minutes. They found that the respective parts of the brains lit up on the MRI consistent with the previous studies.

Then they asked questions of the subjects. If the answer was yes, they were to imagine standing in place hitting tennis balls. If the answer was no, they were to imagine running around the tennis court not hitting balls. From this process they were able to get yes or no answers to the questions from patients based upon them merely imagining their response and the MRI recording of the part of the brain that was active.

Then it got really interesting. They gave the instructions and questions to people who had been in an extended coma and found that their MRI yielded answers to Yes or No questions from the patients.

However, while a patient can answer the question of whether to pull the plug and let them die or keep them on life support, how can the DR be sure that the patient is competent to answer on their own behalf?

Medical research dealing with consciousness can be very interesting.

For example, by changing my consciousness frequency or action potential firing rate of the pyramidal neurons in layer three of my brain, my perception of reality changes to the point that I perceive the stored memories of other people as physical objects, all the way back to their conception.

This resulted from damage in my brain to the inhibitory GABA neurons which serve as a braking system to keep brain frequencies in the lower Delta, Theta, Alpha and Beta frequencies. Our perception of reality is a function of the frequency of consciousness from which we view it.

This is how the mystics do their unusual abilities.

When Jesus taught us to “Love God”, He was telling us to always tune our consciousness to the highest frequency possible. When He told us to Love our neighbors as ourselves, He was telling us to find and remove the obstacles to Love that exist in our souls so we can remove the anchors and ballast that keep us in fear and anger so we can reach the higher frequencies of consciousness. This is the neuroscience of religion in a nutshell.
