Tue 2 Apr 2024. New research into the dying brain suggests the line
between life and death may be less distinct than previously thought
by Alex Blasdel
------
Since the 1960s, advances in resuscitation had helped to revive thousands of people
who might otherwise have died. About 10% or 20% of those people brought with them stories
of near-death experiences in which they felt their souls or selves departing from their bodies.
A handful of those patients even claimed to witness, from above, doctors’ attempts
to resuscitate them. According to several international surveys and studies,
one in 10 people claims to have had a near-death experience involving cardiac arrest,
or a similar experience in circumstances where they may have come close to death.
That’s roughly 800 million souls worldwide who may have dipped a toe in the afterlife.

In his book (Life After Life), Moody distilled the reports of 150 people who had had intense,
life-altering experiences in the moments surrounding a cardiac arrest.

Clinical death.
My neighbor came home from the hospital after clinical death and told:
“Suddenly I found myself upstairs and see my body lying below,
around which doctors and nurses are fussing . . .
I wonder why they are worried - - I feel myself very good . . . .
Suddenly I remembered: oh, my children . . . and I quickly entered my body.
The neighbor told her story and laughed happily.
