Near-Death Experiences

Is death really the end? Find out what science, and the firsthand experiences of those who nearly died, tell us about what might lie beyond.
 
Do we each have a soul or spiritual essence that will journey on once the body has turned to dust? Will death appear as oblivion or a nightmare? In recent decades—thanks to sophisticated resuscitation techniques—more people have returned from temporary death to reveal what they saw and felt. Doctors have noted that these descriptions of near-death experiences (NDE) were remarkably consistent, even though the people had very little in common. All spoke of a sense of peace, of travelling through a tunnel towards light, of seeing cities of light, and hearing celestial music. Some even overheard conversations that wouldn’t normally have been possible. Near-Death Experiences examines in detail a wide range of NDE case studies, encompassing children and adults, skeptics and strong believers, those who expected to die and some caught in sudden accidents. This thoughtful analysis offers a glimmering of what may lie in store for us.
