Near death experiences: What are they?

Sherryjane Cooke
Near Death Experiences Examiner

We are all interested in what lies beyond this life. NDE’s or near death experiences are caused by many different, reasonably explained reasons, and they change people. We can have reasons for these being caused by many scientific or spiritual reasons.

In these articles, I will research the opinions, reality and/or debunking or proving these experiences. Do these NDE’s show an insight into what lies ahead of death? I only know what I experienced, have researched and discussed with ministers, doctors, nurses, spiritualists and friends who have gone through such a mind-changing experience.

Can Near Death Experiences Prove There is Life After Death?

While psychology has long employed the scientific method to help determine cause-and-effect relationships, the experience of near death may not be so easily studied. For many, the chief question of near death experiences is whether there is part of us that is distinct from the body. Questions about the spiritual world, life after-death, and the existence of a “soul” become a proved reality in the minds of some near death survivors.

Skepticism and Near Death Experiences

I never thought much about skepticism before my near death experience. That was before skeptics started telling me I was dreaming, hallucinating, or just making up my experience. I found it odd that these people seemed to know more about my intensely personal experience than I did. Or did they?

Skeptics have been with us a long time. They told George Washington that he could never defeat the British, and they told Lincoln he could never unify our divided country. Every great person had their skeptics to deal with, including Bell, Wright, Edison, Ford, the list is emormous.

Skeptics of near death experiences are only more of the same. We have the evidence now in books, research, videos of surgery, documentaries, and veridical NDEs showing that our consciousness’ will live after the death of our bodies. Dozens of universities with hundreds of researchers are studying near death experiences. Yet the skeptics keep raising old doubts long debunked by the researchers.

Society doesn’t seem to think much about skeptics either. While you can find statues and memorials to the great thinkers, researchers and statesmen of our world most everywhere in parks, you can’t find a single statue erected in honor of a skeptic for his great skepticism anywhere. There are no awards for skepticism, no medals, or prize money.

So while thinkers, reseachers, and statemen go on showing us the path to future knowledge and accomplishments, the skeptics will go on sitting, doing nothing, helping no one, just skepticizing.
