Thanks my good fellow-
Yes indeed the NDE subject is a fascinating one and I also have looked into it with great interest. You may or may not know that in recent years it has been looked at again more seriously by neuroscientists and is now being taken more seriously. It is no longer view as a think of ridicule. Apparently the turning point was the notorious case of Pam Reynolds. Basically she had a tumor in the brain in a location that surgery would kill her. However there was a new procedure being tried where the brain is completely drained of blood so that the tumor can be removed. Pam Reynolds survived the surgery and made a full recovery. After the operation she described the watching herself begin operated on including the conversation the doctor had with the assistant nurse. All of what she described was 100% accurate. Which of curse was impossible because for all intensive purposes her brain was dead. The operation was recorded on camera which meant that there was an exact time. This meant that it was the first time it could be proven that the brain was 100% dead and therefore the argument of hallucinogenic chemicals were responsible for the out of body experience could not be used. This case basically turned neuroscience on its head. Hover there are still many doctors who simply will not accept that something more is going on. Since then even more evidence has been uncovered and discovered which points to a truth that our consciousness is not located in the brain as we have thought for hundreds of years. As far as neuroscience goes, we are back to square one.
If you are interested in the Pam Reynolds case here is a link to a shortened version on youtube:

Thanks for posting the video!

That is a fascinating discovery made in the Pam Reynolds case especially when general anesthesia can itself stop a person from hearing or feeling anything during the time that it is in effect. Here the brain gets emptied out and she still hears a conversation - that is indeed ultimate proof that there is something that is beyond the realm of human understanding and outside the scope of all information and knowledge possessed my mankind.

You're absolutely correct when you say that as far as neuroscience goes, we are certainly back to square one!

Glad you liked it my friend, I had a feeling you would appreciate that.
