Woah, that's an article that's full of implications! Makes me wonder about the connection between NDEs and the reports of similar experiences with DMT, which the brain is reported to release in high quantities when we die. Or what about the spirit? Or the mind (which I'm pretty sure science inadequately defines as brain activity)? WOW. Thank you for this amazing work!

Hello there @naturalmedicine :)
What a privilege to have you come around to support my work and take the tie to leave such an insightful comment! You're spot on! The implications of these findings are numerous, and immensely overwhelming (to say the least.)
I am still in the processes of investigating DMT. I understand that there are various parallels between its effects and the features of the NDE phenomenon. Still, I do not have sufficient knowledge to formulate an argument that go towards that direction. Well, not yet. I am still puzzled by the fact that NDEs take place during periods when cortical activities are down. So ... here we come to your observation about the spirit ... what about it? All possibilities must be taken into account.
I was interested in your observation about science regarding the mind as a result of brain activity as an inadequate one. That has been my understanding for my entire adult life. And here I am facing research results that challenge that! :)
Thank you for your kind words. I am so pleased you found this work interesting. I am very sorry I am too late to enter the challenge. Next time! ;)
I wish you a wonderful weekend ahead.
Best,
Abigail
To me, this research points at the need for a much deeper definition and recognition for the mind. Maybe even the spirit. Neither of which are covered in science because modern science is such a new thing with such a shallow understanding of the world.
This is the start of a scientific look into the afterlife! That's exciting to me.
I'm a bit of a mystic myself, and believe in the existence of a spirit. My science type friends are always wanting sources so I can defend my ideas, and obviously they don't exist. Somehow you can't look at the spirit world with a microscope and take pictures of it. Maybe they're worlds that won't ever mix -the spirit world and the science world- but your post here shows me a little glimmer of hope.

😊 So nice to hear this! I think there must be flexibility from both sides (scientific and spiritual). For the sake of clarification and deeper understanding forces should be joined rather than polarized. Who knows, it might bring us all a sense of meaning and purpose :) The world seems to be in great need it it.
Oh my gosh, you're SO right!
