More NDEs

Here's another NDE site. Where the first one hosts accounts that have been carefully composed for publication, this welcomes submissions from anyone who can bang about on a keyword. There's a value in the rough and ready. I was especially happy to find a (small) section of reports from non-Western sources. It seems Buddhist, Muslim and Hindu NDEs aren't so very different from Christian ones.

I asked my elderly male relative about the tunnel of light. "What f***ing tunnel? I was in agony I didn't see a thing!"

Not everybody does.

There's a documentary on the moment of death, called, oddly enough, Moment of Death -- I streamed it from Netflix a few days before my sister died. Apparently there's a physiological reason for folks seeing a tunnel of light in a NDE.

Yes, I've read about that. I believe some of the features of the NDE can be reproduced in the laboratory.
