This seems to be a good example of many NDE accounts...the tunnel, light, feelings of intense love and such.
Three things in the description I found interesting are the door, the vivid colors and the extreme reluctance to come back. The door, which she said she "knew" if she passed through, she could not return is an event some of the accounts I have read also experienced. It was not always a door, but something symbolic of "passing" through or over. To me, this is not something one would come up with if they were simply hallucinating. The vivid, or vibrant colors is charactristic of many of the reports. This could be drug-induced, but her memory was so clear, it all but eliminates the possibility she was drug-induced. The extreme reluctance to come back due to the intense feeling of love is another characteristic of many NDE reports. This is interesting since other than NDE reports of afterlife conditions include this same concept of intense love.
You don't give much if any of a critical analysis. What background does this woman have? How many NDE stories has she previously heard.
When she says something happened how does she know? For example she says her heart stopped. How does she know? She says she was carried towards a real place, heaven. Huh? How does she know it was a "real" place. How does she know it was heaven or what a heaven is supposed to look like? How does she know that if she had some experiences and memories that these didn't occur while semi conscious? I only listened to about 2 minutes, paused the tape, went to play it again and it wouldn't ..so at that point I quit. It was so unscientific, that I lost interest.
by the way. Q.W. in a previous post you write: "Does Bell's theorem have anything to do with the afterlife? Maybe, maybe not. What it does is provide scientific evidence that there is a lot more to reality than we perceive with our five senses."
I would agree there is more to reality than what we are able to perceive. But to continue from that assumption and conclude one can scientifically speculate (that there is a connection using current scientific knowledge) an afterlife is nonsense, unfounded, pure speculation, not the least bit scientific..and is simply wishful thinking. it is piggy backing onto science to make one's belief appear respectable. Believe whatever you wish Q.W., whatever makes you happy or is satisfying but do not attempt to hijack science in order to bolster your beliefs and have people take them seriously.
Can you please explain to me what you mean by "scientific evidence"? How does it differ from non-scientific evidence? Can you also explain the relevance, the direct causal link between Bell's theorem and it being evidence for an afterlife?
