I don’t think your vision will ever come to pass.The need to believe in something beyond all the pain in this mortal world is just too intense.
I’m curious if you have investigated the NDE believers.Are their tales merely brain chemistry gone awack?Or is”the tunnel’and “the light”real?
We know very little about the various physiological processes that make the brain work as it is. NDE is probably akin to the kind of pleasure masochists and others obtain through strangulation, etc.
Besides, NDE, if looked at from the religious perspective, would be a totally absurd thing, that actually ridicules religion more than it encourages it. Why did this person get into the after-life and back? Wouldn’t that render the purpose of the life that had just been lived, again from the religious angle, meaningless?
The biochemical reactions in animal brains are very similar to that of human’s. Wouldn’t the thought of an animal experiencing the “afterlife” and being back, be absurd, in the view of religion?(read Abrahamic religion) Or maybe it’s just what I stated earlier, a dying brain squirting neuro-transmitters in one desperate attempt.
It’s easy to believe that the earth is flat, to gain the false knowledge of the limits to avoid. But it’s much more beautiful to realise that the earth is round, and thereby lose the fear of falling off its edge.
