Both NDE and the experience of an afterlife could be attributed to the brain activity right before the cessation of activity. Since time is subjective to the perception of the brain, a lot can happen in those last few moments. Dying doesn't suspend the laws of physics, but the perception of time co...

Are you saying that we are not surrounded by fields of radiation, gravity and microbes? By radiation, you mean heat. Gravity does not work in the way you think, And bacteria to not form into auras. There is a small barely detectable electrical field from nerves, but nothing you could call and aura....

The "five" senses is also a myth.

Radiation fields, gravitational fields (albeit tiny) and microbiome clouds are real. One of the definitions of "aura" is: The radiation we tend to emit is probably individual in its detail. Further, identification using a person's microbiome is reported to be potentially more reliable tha...

Greetings my fellow Christian brothers and sisters, ..... Thank you. God bless you, Rachel Henderson You have strayed into the wrong Forum, sweetie. You have no brothers nor sisters here, and only a few people here are Christians. But since I am a genuinely good person, and acts as such without the...

No. An example of "everything", in which you say "everything is question-begging".

To put these down to auras is a a nice description not an explanation. I don't look for an explanation any time soon, worse luck! Auras do not work. There are no ...

"I AM NOT REAL. GET ON AND ENJOY WHAT LITTLE LIFE YOU HAVE.!!!!!"

"Oh, yes, and eat a little less fat."

I simply can't see how atheism makes "nothing possible". Just does not add up. First atheists deny reality and then claim that everything is possible. No and no. I puzzled to fathom what the hell you are on about. Theists deny reality, so much is obvious, by believing in their invisible f...

Exactly, a very long time can be experienced subjectively in a very short time, both the NDE and eternity can be experienced in a very short time when the brain is being deprived of oxygen and hallucination are happening. No you have this exactly backwards. you must be an idealist without knowing i...

I can't see how dying would suspend the laws of nature for an individual. Whilst the rest of reality simply carries on. Neither do I see how this even relates to NDEs. I'd ask you how, or what you mean in more detail, but I'm afraid you might answer. Both NDE and the experience of an afterlife coul...

Greta wrote: The aura question is interesting in that the boundary between "you" and the environment is not your skin. Each of us is surrounded by a radiation field, a microbiome cloud (that is more individual than fingerprints), a weak gravitational field, an abstract (but very real) fie...

What is consciousness then? And how does it get the volition to want to express itself?

The problem essentially seems to be that everything is question-begging and nothing is established. The beginning of a solution might be to focus on the nature of this 'nothing' that is established, rather than getting lost in whatever falls under the umbrella of 'everything'. One might then ponder...
