More Epicycles: Science and the Near-Death Experience
2013 April 7 by macyafterlife
Scientists are still dancing around the afterlife… trying to make sense of it in Newtonian terms.
Yet another study of near-death experiences (NDEs)—based on
interviews with people who’ve died briefly and recovered—explores
neurochemical explanations for the tunnels, doorways, glowing light,
departed loved ones, and other lucid experiences… and notes that the
crystalline afterlife memories are often much more profound and
transformative than our normal, day-to-day memories.
Read that Plos One report….
In a nutshell, the study concludes that about 5 percent of the
general population and 10 percent of heart-attack victims report
near-death experiences, yet no one really knows what they are… other
than “flashbulb memories of really perceived hallucinations.” Adding
complications to the study is the fact that healthy people sometimes
have similar experiences during meditation and when taking certain
serotonin-mimicking hallucinogenic drugs.

Well, you and I know what NDEs really are. If you follow this blog
you know that afterlife and the finer realms of spirit are the greater
reality, while life on Earth is maya… illusion. That’s why, when
our earthly blinders come down momentarily during an NDE or meditation,
our glimpse of the other side is so lucid, so profound, and so
life-changing.
Once we experience the greater afterlife reality and process it
through our physical senses, our noble motivations take the steering
wheel, guided by the finer spirit within, while our savage
inclinations—fueled by hormones, ego, and our carnal composition—move to
the back seat.
