Near Death Experiences : Afterlife Journeys and Revelations

Thousands, perhaps millions, of people have had near-death experiences (NDEs). What are they--a simple trick of the mind and body or something more? What are we to make of them, and do they tell us anything about religion or science or the possibility of an afterlife? An illuminating and thought-provoking journey into the enigmatic territory where science, spirituality, and human consciousness converge, Near Death Experiences: Afterlife Journeys and Revelations presents a comprehensive journey through historical accounts, modern research, and personal testimonies as it seeks to bridge the gap between empirical evidence and metaphysical truths. The similarities in NDE stories--often including the surrounding details of the room or place where the person lay dying--are uncanny, but neurologists point to similarities between NDEs and epileptic seizures or ingesting hallucinogens or other possible scientific explanations. So, are NDEs real or imaginary? It also looks to the Bible, the Tibetan Book of the Dead, the Talmud, the Quran, and other faiths and stories of NDE-like experiences throughout antiquity. Acknowledging the disagreements between scientific methods and metaphysical evidence, this fascinating book challenges you to explore all possibilities. While faith-based interpretations might provide the answers, Near Death Experiences also addresses whether quantum physics might hold the key to unraveling the mysteries surrounding NDEs. It will have you reconsidering your understanding of life, death, and consciousness! With more than 100 photos and graphics, this tome is richly illustrated. Its helpful bibliography provides sources for further exploration, and an extensive index adds to its usefulness.
