“Are NDE real?” This is a serious, acute question, but to answer it ‘yes’ or ‘no’ is both equally inappropriate, unfitting, - missing the point: the human world is only relative, the NDE are relative too. The human world feels extremely real to us, the NDEs feel extremely real to those, who experience them. From the human perspective, the NDEs seem to be a kind of strangely vivid dreams and projections; from the perspective of NDExperiencers this world appears as an uneasy dream and projection. So, are the NDE real? You see?
Discussion about the “realness” of this world is as old as the civilization. You certainly remember the famous Plato´s analogy with the shadows on the wall of the cave. From a spiritual standpoint, there are many degrees (or intensities) of realness - the human world is only a periphery of reality.
In some way the NDEs are actually more real than the human world: they are nearer to the truth, less subjugated to the time-flow; but in another way of consideration they are less real: the trees and flowers there are not composed of cells, molecules and DNA, the rivers are not filled with H2O.
The death is not an end but a beginning. A beginning of the next chapter.
I am criticizing the mainstream science (particularly neuroscience) not for its materialistic stand, but for its unfair, biased, stubborn, unscientific dealing with indications, facts and evidence. Ashin Ottama
P.S.: I noticed in the graph of "audience retention" that people tend to skip the "Hell NDE". Don't be a quitter, there is an important message exactly there!
