By my grandmother's report, she had a near death experience, but it was when her husband died and it was his death she was near. She was visited by an apparition of him upon his highway related death.
In sum, the inability to test with falsification (Popper) and the inability to achieve a high percentage statistically, does not debunk the results although we may receive the information with less confidence.
Thank you for summing that up! as I'd only alluded to it. And thank you Mr. Popper for rising up for science.
I had two identical experiences when my mother and my sister entered a deep coma preceding their physical deaths. In both cases, I felt their spirits go through me and a non-verbal communication of joy and well-being. In my mother’s case I was outside the door in the emergency room. In my sister’s case, I was four floors away and outside the building.
When my husband died, in the emerald sea outside Panama City, the experience was different. We were diving. The water was greenish and becomes bluer at depth. His heart attack was at 15 feet but he fell back under the pull of his weight belt to 70+ feet at the floor where I picked him up. At that depth, all around the water was deep blue except where he lay, the water was golden, like a spotlight was shining on him. But in the instances when my other husband, father and brother passed on, I felt and saw nothing.
IMHO, it would be helpful if we all consistently had the same experiences. However, I do not believe the failure to have an experience in one instance discredits the experience we have in another instance.
But without the ability to falsify (Popper) we cannot expect others to receive our testimony with confidence. Sigh...
