True~ I can say anything,for example I know a guy who was in a coma once,he became sooo good after he woke up because he said that he saw hell in his coma O.O True story. But yet you can't deny that not everyone in a coma acts like that after they woke up eh =/ ....barely anyone actually >.>It would be great if it' s true and he did witness afterlife but you can' t just blindly believe him. First of all afterlife is for when you die which he didn' t as he was in a coma. And second it could be just dreams or sideeffects from medication and coma.

Their brain most likely just produces images of what they expect to see, Hindus and Buddhists have very different near death experiences than Christians

Who knows? Maybe some people' s subconscious takes control while in a coma so when they finally wake up they realize things they had no idea of before and look to something otherwordly to find an explanation (afterlife,hell whatever). Still it is fascinating how complex the human mind is and life/existence in general.

The brain is sooooo magnificent indeed!Who knows?

Do you take comfort in that idea?What?:? what is there to take comfort in? I am a psyc major so this is what we learn, if you have a problem with it and think it's false just say so. Otherwise I am not really sure what point you are trying to make?

So science trying to fit what is experienced then? Enough people have had similar experiences be it the white light or seeing themselves as though they are a third party observer to just dismiss it out of hand. That's what I think anyway. And that would be more in line with how scientific studies are done. Don't dismiss what isn't understood. Unless those psych teachers have died and come back to life....I don't consider them to be experts. But hey.....whatever helps you sleep.[QUOTE="Bane_09"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] Do you take comfort in that idea?LJS9502_basic

Unless those psych teachers have died and come back to life....I don't consider them to be experts. But hey.....whatever helps you sleep.What do you think psychology is? A great deal of it has to do with our perceptions and sensations of the world. It's very easy to simulate near death experiences
And I'm not just dismissing it out of hand, you act like there has never been a study done on near death experiences. It is understood, just because you don't understand it doesn't mean everyone else doesn't
Lucid dreaming can also simulate things like third party observation and white light.
And why do you keep saying it helps me sleep?:| That part literally makes no sense, I am just reiterating what psychology has taught us about near death experiences, maybe you should do some research before you decide to attack someone for having a different belief than you

The opposite side can be true as well......[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="Bane_09"]

Who knows what the brain does when the body is comatose...This wouldn't be the first time someone had a visceral hallucination or dream comatose or not. That doesn't mean there is an afterlife...
Interesting. I still don't know. I don't believe in a religion. But that doesn't mean the universe didn't create the afterlife(s)
[QUOTE="FMAB_GTO"] I see,well I dunno much about brains unfortunately =/ LJS9502_basicNeither does he. It's what he wants to believe.
Except the post above says he's a psych major.
Enough people have had similar experiences be it the white light or seeing themselves as though they are a third party observer to just dismiss it out of hand.LJS9502_basicWhy is it important that people have similar experiences? Up to a point, everyone has a pretty similar brain; is there any reason why, if those experiences were purely illusory, we should expect them to be highly diverse?

Hates gays too.[QUOTE="TacticalDesire"][QUOTE="Fightingfan"] That's not up for debate, obviously a man since women are 2nd class in the bible. Fightingfan

Hates gays too.Certainly making God sound like a d*ck. Hopefully if there is one he/she/it is not too similar to how God is represented in the Bible.
Embarassing, he of all people should know the body dumps all it's serotonin and dopamine at once when the body dies causing hallucinations.
Nothing nobody on LSD hasn't already seen. Shame he's a brain surgeon and doesn't understand what the brain does when dying
wis3boi
Pretty sure he understands more than you.
I'm pretty sure people can go to jail for saying that. And I forget, in the article, did it say his brain shut down? Just curious. I'm not sure what to make of it. I hope that he isn't deluded or lying, because that certainly would be amazing. Does anybody remember the kid who said he went to Heaven, and then came back and knew about his aborted sister and stuff? I really hope that these aren't just people cashing in, but I dunno.If he wants help killing himself ill be glad to help!
