Of cousre it has to be a mediated experience since the cultural symbols seem to be relative to one's background in such NDE.You know Buddhists see Buddha and Chrsitians see Jesus.

I don't think there really are any experts expect those who have experienced it. But of course he talks like his profession gives him expertise in all things."Quote<br /><br /><br />This quote here is spot on. As far as the NDE is concerned, I believe the experiencers on NDERF more than some biased Anasthesiologist who twists the Holy Bible to support his evil agenda.<br /><br />In those accounts, the people usually say that it isn't a dream, and that they have at least some change in their life, if not great change. Also, a lot of them say that they have no fear of death.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538255877506581515.post-30207608516447759682013-01-22T11:27:29.888-08:002013-01-22T11:27:29.888-08:00I actually didn't get to any of his "wacy...I actually didn't get to any of his "wacy" stuff. It's not significant enough to worry about. I have not argued NDE stuff out like I have other arguments.
