I recently stumbled upon a weblink that purports to be an authority on N.D.E's. So, with interest, I purused:
What I found was a library full of these experiences. Instantly, the skeptic in me searched for the ones relating to religion. Sure enough I found what I was looking for. I also found it odd that with the souls of man exposed to such peril as to which religion was the True one, so many of these N.D.E's had nothing to say at all about god or religion. After all, I rejected the Jehovah's Witnesses last year. I was told that since I "knew too much" I would be only a void in Jehovah God's mind in the next life. I took offense to such a blatant coercive tactic. I also found humor in it after I thought about what just happened to me when they "witnessed" to me. I have studied with the top five One and Only True religions now. Just a little quirk I noticed in all of them in that they all must wash their hands of me after I progress to a certain point. When it is plain that I am rejecting their doctrine, I am invariably told how sad my fate is in the next life. It is a little strange to be on the doom list of so many religions. Which is part of my point to the near death experiences.
So, with doom and gloom surrounding the souls of man, one would think that such an important choice as to what religion one should focus on here on earth would be illuminated through NDE's in some form or another. After all, one's eternal soul is at stake!
It is rather strange that the N.D.E's do not do this. Rather, they add to the confusion. Christians see Jesus, Buddhists see Buddah, Eckankarists see Sri Harold Klemp, Jehovah's Witnesses see Jehovah God, and Catholics see the Virgin Mary and so on. What about the atheist NDE? According to the reports, they are in good hands too. Peace and comfort awaits even the staunchest of atheists! Hmmmm? Think about that one won't you?
How does that interest me?
If there were one and only one true religion on earth, and if salvation depended so heavily for mortals to be found in the correct one... ever doing and being what that religion required... why would these incorporeal enitities come and show themselves to mortals without telling them to switch to the "correct" or "approved" religion? (Perhaps, after all, it really does not matter? Perhaps the N.D.E's are fabricated?) And why is everyone's NDE relative to the current religious world view?
In fact, quite the opposite happens. Many times these N.D.E's have the message that the religion they are in presently is the correct path back to god. Yet we get this message in nearly every major fundamental One and Only True church that holds a belief in an afterlife. They all are replete with N.D.E's confirming what they already "know". And that is their religion is the true one.
Science has an explanation for N.D.E's. There is, in the brain, a partitioned "god spot" that is responsible for the experience we humans call religious or spiritual. In the lab, scientists can now recreate spiritual experiences by poking and prodding the human brain in different parts of this god spot. Certain chemically induced flushes will invariably produce a range of tangible feelings from euphoria, to serenity, to hearing voices, to seeing other worldly beings to finally provoking one to feel as if the soul has left the body in an astral projection type experience.
I find this highly fascinating.
