Questions about near death experiences

[ChiroDoc]

I don't give death or dying a lot of thought. When it's my turn, it's out of my hands anyway. I am sure there is something waiting for me on the other side, but we can't be certain.

Through my course of being a state trooper for 37 years, I have seen a lot of death. I have held the hand of a dying person while they quietly passed away. You can almost feel their life slipping away from that person.

I was called to a scene were a gang had shot another 15 y/o on the street in Chester, PA. The ambulance was a few minutes away and my victim had almost bled out. You can tell by the size of the puddle. He took 2 shots. One to chest and one to the neck. I knew I was too late to help, so all I could do was hold his hand. He looked me straight in the eye and told me to tell his Mom he loves her and he's sorry.

They killed him because he owed the dealer $75. Senseless killing.

Lord, 911, those are powerful stories. God bless you.

I don't know if you've listened to or read any Rupert Sheldrake, PhD, a British biologist. Among many many subjects he discusses is consciousness as not residing in the brain, but outside like a force such as gravity, or electromagnetism. He has an extensive load of videos on YouTube: Rupert Sheldrake

You might enjoy his discussion on God, nature, and consciousness; or his lecture on transcendence.

After learning about Rupert Sheldrake I ordered his book, Science Set Free, used, from Abebooks.
it has arrived and I have been jumping from one chapter to another and enjoying.

A further thought. Could it be that the spirit part of us as it separates from the mortal body, possesses the ability to observe in the vicinity? Not affect, but merely observe dispassionately, at near death or after death.

Yes. That is exactly what I experienced when I had my NDE. Not unpleasant, or scary, just felt new, but natural and I was not afraid. This was in 1979.

Here is an interesting talk:

NDE

Been there, had one, watched the medics save me, recovered. Saw the number on the back of one of the medics turn out coats from where my spirit was on the ceiling and when I recovered I called and thanked him.

Why isn't it wishful thinking that is quite powerful and brain function that is not understood yet. The rest is spiritual beliefs
