Examining ancient and modern accounts of NDEs from around the world, including China, India, and tribal societies such as the Native American and the Maori, he explains how NDEs provide evidence of consciousness surviving the death of our bodies. He looks at the many psychological and physiological explanations for NDEs raised by skeptics\u2013such as stress, birth memories, or oxygen starvation\u2013and clearly shows why each of them fails to truly explain the NDE.<\/p>\n<p style='text-align:left'>&copy; 2010, <a href='https:\/\/aleroy.com\/blog'>Lekatt<\/a>.
