BZZZZZT! Thanks for playing...
You can make me come, but you can’t make me watch.
After facing the review, my official cause of death would have to be listed as boredom.
Yeah, I screwed up. Can I try again?
That was my eevil twin.
He wrote that it was important to talk to the person right after it happened to get the essence of it because over time they would embellish it or if it was a bad experience they would block it completely....
Thank you. Lord.
Yet again.
Raymond Moody, M.D., a graduate of the Medical College of Georgia, defined this phenomenon.
Interesting that in ALL of these NDE experiences NONE were really dead, lest they had stayed that way.
In the brilliant movie “Amazon Women on the Moon,” there is a wonderful parody of Siskel & Ebert reviewing the life of an ordinary mortal named Harvey Pitkin, I believe. The 2 thumbs down are nothing compared to what these pompous blowhards have to say about Harvey’s dreary existence! An absolutely hilarious sketch.
That's why they're called NDE instead of DE.
One question I will dread: “What did you do with the midgets?”
I’ve read Moody’s books and others that claim that it is just one final brain blitz before we dissolve into nothingness.
If it is just our neurons frying at the last moment, how does that explain that aura of interconnectedness where we can feel and empathize the pain we brought on others. How does our brain get inside theirs?
For that the NDE deniers have no answer. Nor can they explain the out of body experiences of patients during surgery describing the operating room (and conversations) during their surgery. Even things that would be out of view and earshot to the patient.
Aye, there's the rub. The trouble starts when some religious guy says "What God REALLY meant was . . ."
My own feeling is that it is just a trick of the mind. I remember being sick with the flu, but went to work anyway. At one point, just for a second, I found myself a few feet away from my workstation, watching me work, then, SNAP! I was back inside my body. Think of all the people who, in violent situations, thought they were going to die (fighter pilots, police, etc.) who said that for a moment, their life flashed before their eyes.
I dunno, maybe it's just a core dump to that Big Computer in the Sky. :-)
...Right, -IIR- Moody's first patient said as he 'levitated' out of the hospital he saw a red tennis shoe on the roof. Doc dismissed that but later asked a janitor to go up on the roof [and recieves a 'what are you crazy' look but returned with said shoe....HA
That’s right. Gives you chills doesn’t it . . . in a good reassuring, comforting way.
I’ve also been to one of John Edward’s events with a friend of mine. He described my friend’s deceased father in ways that only my friend could know. Even knew that his father spoke in tongues; something my friend was always embarrassed about.
