    Received a phone call from my Medical Centre.

    A curious aspect of Near Death Experiences

    In the beginning, there was no religion, there were only people, when they started being bad, some kind of policing was needed. The elders of each family probably had meetings, to try and fix it, they came up with the idea of heaven and hell, I believe, to try to control the hotheads, every...

    Received a phone call from my Medical Centre.
