Canton, Michigan – 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?
This engrossing book also looks at why so many report uncannily similar experiences: the sensation of floating outside of one’s own body, sometimes observing the surroundings or themselves from above; the sense of moving through a tunnel toward something; a vivid, rapid, and comprehensive life review; the appearance of deceased relatives, friends, or even Jesus; an overwhelming sense of peace, love, tranquility, and connection; or an encounter with a loving white light, often at the end of the tunnel.
Take an illuminating and thought-provoking journey into an enigmatic phenomenon.
Near-Death Experiences is an enthralling look at the neurological process, the dream-like explanations; the spiritual, religious, and faith-based interpretations; the psychological views; the philosophy possibilities; quantum reality; and the ongoing debates about the nature and meaning of NDEs. It will challenge you to explore all possibilities!
