Near-death experience

A near-death experience (NDE) is a personal experience associated with death or impending death. Such experiences may encompass a variety of sensations including detachment from the body, feelings of levitation, total serenity, security, warmth, the experience of absolute dissolution, and the presence of a light.[1]
Neuroscience research suggests that an NDE is a subjective phenomenon resulting from "disturbed bodily multisensory integration" that occurs during life-threatening events.[2] NDEs are a recognized part of some transcendental and religious beliefs in an afterlife.[1][3][4][5]

Etymology[edit]

Ascent of the Blessed by Hieronymus Bosch is associated by some NDE researchers with aspects of the NDE.[6][7]
The equivalent French term expérience de mort imminente (experience of imminent death) was proposed by the French psychologist and epistemologist Victor Egger as a result of discussions in the 1890s among philosophers and psychologists concerning climbers' stories of the panoramic life review during falls.[8][9] In 1968 Celia Green published an analysis of 400 first-hand accounts of out-of-body experiences.[10] This represented the first attempt to provide a taxonomy of such experiences, viewed simply as anomalous perceptual experiences, or hallucinations. These experiences were popularized by the work of psychiatrist Raymond Moody in 1975 as the near-death experience (NDE).
Characteristics[edit]
Common elements[edit]
Researchers have identified the common elements that define near-death experiences.[11] Bruce Greyson argues that the general features of the experience include impressions of being outside one's physical body, visions of deceased relatives and religious figures, and transcendence of egotic and spatiotemporal boundaries.[12] Many common elements have been reported, although the person's interpretation of these events often corresponds with the cultural, philosophical, or religious beliefs of the person experiencing it. For example, in the USA, where 46% of the population believes in guardian angels, they will often be identified as angels or deceased loved ones (or will be unidentified), while Hindus will often identify them as messengers of the god of death.[13][14]
Although the features of NDEs vary from one case to the next, common traits that have been reported by NDErs are as follows:
A sense/awareness of being dead.[11][15]
A sense of peace, well-being and painlessness. Positive emotions. A sense of removal from the world.[11][15][16]
An out-of-body experience. A perception of one's body from an outside position. Sometimes observing medical professionals performing resuscitation efforts.[11][15][16][17]
A "tunnel experience" or entering a darkness. A sense of moving up, or through, a passageway or staircase.[11][15][17]
A rapid movement toward and/or sudden immersion in a powerful light (or "Being of Light") which communicates with the person.[15][16]
An intense feeling of unconditional love and acceptance.[16]
Encountering "Beings of Light", "Beings dressed in white", or similar. Also, the possibility of being reunited with deceased loved ones.[11][16][17]
Receiving a life review, commonly referred to as "seeing one's life flash before one's eyes".[11][15][16]
Receiving knowledge about one's life and the nature of the universe.[16]
Approaching a border,[15] or a decision by oneself or others to return to one's body, often accompanied by a reluctance to return.[11][16][17]
Suddenly finding oneself back inside one's body.[18]
Connection to the cultural beliefs held by the individual, which seem to dictate some of the phenomena experienced in the NDE and particularly the later interpretation thereof.[13]
Stages[edit]
Kenneth Ring (1980) subdivided the NDE on a five-stage continuum. The subdivisions were:[19]
Peace
Body separation
Entering darkness
Seeing the light
Entering the light
He stated that 60% experienced stage 1 (feelings of peace and contentment), but only 10% experienced stage 5 ("entering the light").[20] According to Alana Karran, the NDE stages resemble the so-called hero's journey.[21]
Clinical circumstances[edit]
Clinical circumstances associated with near-death experiences include cardiac arrest in myocardial infarction (clinical death); shock in postpartum loss of blood or in perioperative complications; septic or anaphylactic shock; electrocution; coma resulting from traumatic brain damage; intracerebral hemorrhage or cerebral infarction; attempted suicide; near-drowning or asphyxia; apnea; and serious depression.[22] In contrast to common belief, Kenneth Ring argues that attempted suicides do not lead more often to unpleasant NDEs than unintended near-death situations.[23]

That post by Chris was awesome.

Darth was mad AF. Could you imagine if he were actually around people how violent he might get. He probably beats his wife and kids.
