As this photo re-creation depicts, Deb Foster's memory
of being "dead" had a profound effect on her.

What the heck was Beverly Brodsky, who was legally blind, doing on a motorcycle? There was no mention of a side car or that she was a passenger.

Whatever's going on in the universe is going on.

She wasn't dead. Bring back somebody that's been really dead for a couple of years....It says in the Bible..."The dead know nothing..."

NDE ping

I've always hated NDE. It's a natural phenomenon that's often used as a con game by half-assed tv "psychics" to bilk the easily fooled.

I had a near-death experience 15 years ago. I had a reaction to a routine drug administered during a routine outpatient exam. I went into shock/

My experience was not as detailed as the ones featured in this article. But I am certain of three things. There is an afterlife. It is very peaceful. And, the last human sense to fail when you are dying is hearing. After I had gone blind and lost any sense of touch, I heard the nurse report to the emergency doctor that my "B.P. is seventy over zero." LOL.

The belief that death is not the end would have had a profound effect on peoples' willingness to take chances, so I suppose evolution could have selected for a tendency for near-death hallucinations as a facilitator of riskier (and potentially more highly rewarded) behavior.

The neat thing about evolution is that whatever happens can be cited as evidence it's true. ;^)

There are things we just won't know until death happens. But the clinical explanation doesn't explain see a staircase or seeing your family grieve at your bedside. I read a book by Betty Malz once and it was a wonderful account of her NDE. I'll have to look the title up.

While that sense of bliss may accrue to most in NDE or DE, near term, I'll postualte that things change as the clock in the closer dimensions of spiritual time tics out (unrolls). At first the released "soul" is incredibly liberated and so feels a genuine ecstasy -- but as spiritual levels of time are experienced post death, one comes to take account of the what-could-have-beens, the shouldn't-have-beens, to considerable shock for some. So my present thinking is.

Hey, Quix, a coincidence LOL! Those people in a prayer group at Joel what his name's church in Houston prayed and got this poster back from the "other side."

I know, how could that be because Joel what his name from Houston is a televangilst, Heaven forbid. So, Quix, must have been brain chemicals released while that sheet was over my face that made me hallucinate being in Heaven--not anything to do with Joel what his name in Houston's prayer group.

Those nurse's aides were just playing a silly joke on this poster when they said this poster sat up on his gurney in the icebox and started asking where that Jesus fellow ran off to...
