A Lawyer Argues the Case for the Afterlife
NDE experiential evidence is also consistent with other experiential
evidence for psychic phenomena - including the OBE, with the information
obtained from mental and physical mediums, apparitions and survival.
Although some closed minded skeptics refuse to believe there is such a thing
as a near death experience, the more informed and the more formally educated
closed minded skeptics now acknowledge that there is no dispute at all about
the existence of the NDE. The dispute now is narrowed to understanding what
it means.
Psychics say that in a crisis situation, where death is almost inevitable or
is perceived to be inevitable, the duplicate physical body, the
astral or
etheric body, leaves the physical body and experiences the first stages of
the afterlife. When death does not occur, the duplicate body resumes its
place in the physical body. Skeptics say that there is no such thing as a
duplicate body and whatever one experiences has to do with the problems of
the physical body itself - it's all in the mind.
Studies have shown that NDE's occurred following illness, surgery,
childbirth, accident, heart attack and suicide attempt.
The pioneer in this area was a medical doctor and philosopher, Dr Raymond
Moody Jr, who began his work as a skeptic and is now totally convinced of
the reality of life after death. His first book Life After Life in 1975 is
considered the classic work which opened this area to modern research was
followed by two others in 1983 and 1988.
Since 1975 there have been many studies in many countries - so much so that
there are now several international associations and journals for the
investigation of near-death studies.
"Skeptic" vs. "Believer"
Religious groups and scientists are divided on the issue, of the near
death experience, and if it offers any evidence of life after death.
Most religious groups believe in life after death but only within the
systematic standard of doctrine. Some religious groups support the
near-death experience and others debunk it as the "work of Satan."
Scientist main argument is on the chemistry of the brain. The near-death
experience is as controversial as much as it is a mystery.
