Ascent of the Blessed by Hieronymus Bosch is associated with aspects of near-death experiences

[Fido969]

I'm a Believer, but I remember once when I passed out from heatstroke. One minutes I was standing, the next I was on the ground with a bump where I hit something on the way down. There was no sense of time between the two moments. I have wondered since if that showed that it is possible to exist without consciousness.

I’ve been put under for surgery twice. It’s a fascinating experience and I think it is what death will be like.

For me it went like this: the anesth... aneste... ansthesiol... the guy that knocks you out told me to take a breath. In the middle of the breath my wife is waking me up in the recovery room two and a half hours later.

But for us, rather than 2.5 hours it will be the length of time between our death and the great white throne judgement.

I can't quite correlate the title of the post to the narrative.

The story describes clinical death at the cease of heartbeat. Further in the story, a doctor says the brain can function for up to 3 minutes after loss of heartbeat. The brain may not be shut down during this period of awareness as the headline implies only the heart.

** “We know the brain can’t function when the heart has stopped beating. But in this case, conscious awareness appears to have continued for up to three minutes into the period when the heart wasn’t beating, even though the brain typically shuts down within 20 to 30 seconds after the heart has stopped.”**

Many of the near death experiences had longer intervals of NDEs that what this man is saying.

LOL.
The snag of believability USED to be "BRITISH SCIENCE has found that...."

Now it's simply "Researchers" and "Scientists." They always and always and always and always have an agenda and their hypothesis, population and methodology are HOPELESSLY skewed to prove their pet hypothesis.

All I have to say is:

Bah, humbug!

I am somewhat skeptical of the statement that the brain cannot function when the heart is not beating.

Perhaps a stopped heart leads to unconsciousness, but no one would say the brain immediately “dies” the second the heart stops.

[Salvation]

This is a great book to read because it gives the doctor's scientific explanation of what was happening with the patient and then gives the story of the patient's NDE.

I recommend it wholeheartedly.

Had my code blue flat line moment last Memorial Day weekend when I went in for an angiogram. In the middle of that procedure the lights went out. Up to that point I was aware of everything that was happening on the screen. And then darkness.

Saw nothing, heard nothing. Woke up in a weird place called ICU with doctors swarming around me. Cardiologist tried a bit of humor by saying they re-booted me.

Actually they brought me back with a defibrillator. Best moment was when that cute little nurse removed the pads from my chest.

Maybe that higher power didn’t need me yet because I saw nothing at all.

Some said they saw a bright light

If you don't see the tunnel and the bright light you are facing in the wrong direction!

Consciousness does not reside in the brain, the brain connects us to the akashic plane where, ahh google it the baseball game is coming on... Later

I love this Rabbi!
