Also known as an NDE, it has caused many doctors to reconsider what they knew to be true.
Have you heard of it? Near-death experience? Also known as an NDE, it has caused many doctors to reconsider what they knew to be true. And today, with the help of ‘Surreal podcast‘, who interviewed the neurologist Edson Amanciowe’ll tell you a little more about the episodes of those who experienced this moment. Check:
What is a near-death experience?
Normally, in a near-death experience, the person suffers physical discomfort and goes into a coma. For many she is dead, but the moment in which she lives says otherwise. This is because these patients see themselves outside the body and at a certain height. They are not afraid and perceive the situation with a certain naturalness, often accompanying themselves on a stretcher, for example.
“Then the surreal begins. First they feel one with the Universein absolute peace, lots of joy and pure love. Most of them are led through a tunnel, which can be dark or filled with light. They then arrive at a place they describe as shining, wonderful, as if it were an ethereal garden, something out of this world. Some meet people they already knew and knew were dead, others recognize they are dead but didn’t know they were dead. These beings who appear are often the ones who lead them from the beginning to the end of the NDE and are responsible for explaining what is happening.”the expert said in the video.
How long does a near-death experience last?
It’s worth remembering that there is no reason why NDEs happen and they don’t happen to everyone. In reality, according to Amancio, it is a relatively small number of people who suffer from it, around 5% to 10%. And the time of our reality is about five minutes. Sometimes even less. We describe it this way, because from testimonies it appears that the experience lasts more than a few minutes.
“They talk like it takes forever, but typically, in the calculations we do here and assist the patient, it takes five minutes or even a little less. Their time is not our time, it is completely different. Furthermore, they undergo an overhaul of their lives. They can remember the moment they were born until the moment of the outcome, when the NDE occurs – something that we, mere mortals, do not have, since we can remember when we were five or six years old. They watch some kind of movie about their life”he detailed.
What happens after the near-death experience?
As soon as they return, patients remember everything in detail and, when they start living daily life, they notice countless differences. “Those who were atheists now have beliefs. There are those who have become more altruistic and less selfish. There is an overall improvement. It is as if they have incorporated something that they did not have before, as many acquire a keen intuition and a kind of extrasensory perception”he added.
How does science explain near-death experiences?
For those who are curious, science does not yet have a concrete explanation, since they cannot demonstrate, in the laboratory, why consciousness is so expanded and they have already discovered that there is no way to cause an NDE. Despite this, there are several experts who try to find an explanation, and many believe that the mind is capable of going beyond the brain.
Amancio also added that death does not have to occur for NDE to occur, as there are cases where people have experienced very similar episodes through meditation and prayer. However, hallucinogenic substances, such as Ayahuasca, are not capable of causing an NDE.
Examples of NDEs
The interview hosts then decided to ask the neurologist to tell some examples of near-death experiences. That said, we’ve separated out a few and you can check them out below:
- Serious accident: “A patient was the victim of a very serious road accident. He was thrown more than ten meters from the car. He fell dead and there was a collision. Someone came to help and thought he was already dead. Then a lady came, who put “.
- Blind singer: “There is a famous North American case, in which a blind girl, who had never seen anything in her life, saw during her NDE. She worked as a singer in a nightclub and was given a lift by her bosses. Since they were drunk… but he didn’t: they ended up having an accident. She was taken to the operating room and described everything that was there. At first he said he had difficulty interpreting what it was about, but his vision has become clearer and he describes the NDE in this way. He didn’t see it with the eyes of his body, he saw it with other eyes. Another strong indication that consciousness is in the vehicle of us mere mortals. He had never seen anything in his life.”.
- Hypothermia: “UA climber reached a certain height on the mountain and felt unwell, so he decided to stop and fell asleep due to the cold. He had hypothermia and left his body. At these times he saw the guide who drove the horses stealing his food. And when he came back, he said he saw him take his food. It wasn’t death, but it warmed up and came back.”.
