Near Death Experience: 'I've studied near-death experiences. What do people see right before they die? One feels a 'film' of one's entire life and a mysterious entity. At last they completely merge into that light. That power was so dazzling that he had never seen it before.
Recalling one such experience, a person said that he saw a huge being and felt completely united with it. A connection that seemed to extend to everything around them. This was one of 50 experiences that were studied by researchers who were finding out what strange places people talk about when they get close to death.
France Lerner, chief researcher at the 'Contemplative Neuroscience and Neurophenomenology Lab' of the University of Haifa in Israel, told 'Daily Mail' – 'What attracted me the most was. That is how a person's perspective of place and his own existence completely changes. It seems as if the usual distinction between the observer (person) and the world around him disappears. It is an extraordinary experience whether one looks at it from a spiritual, religious or any other perspective.
Scenes go by too fast
Some people reported seeing scenes that were extremely bright and full of vibrant colors. Others saw vast expanses of light, dark corridors, or events of their lives passing by at breakneck speed. One man reported that his experience began with darkness and then images of his life appeared on the walls around him like a movie, with vibrant colors and sounds.
Most people saw similar shapes
He also talked about seeing a being made of pure light. Also saw a very big garden where there were sloping hills. Apart from this there was long grass, children were playing and animals were roaming around. A study of 50 cases of 'near-death experiences' has shown that people have seen similar figures during this period.
there was light everywhere
Researchers believe that a person can glimpse a new scene before fully entering it. One person reported that he saw a white light down a dark corridor and that entering the place was like stepping into the sun. Others said that he was surrounded by lights from all sides.
become separated from the world
'I was in the middle of a huge bubble of light,' one person said. It completely surrounded me. I can say that I became a part of it. Researchers believe that this experience of feeling completely connected is like ego dissolution, in which the person stops feeling that he is separate from the world around him.
But France Lerner emphasized that these results do not provide any evidence that consciousness persists after death or not. He further said that these results offer a new way to investigate the structure of these experiences.
Study published in 'Frontiers in Psychology'
This study, published in 'Frontiers in Psychology' on October 15, tried to find out whether pictures can depict those experiences which are difficult for people to describe in words. The researchers recruited volunteers through the website of the International Association for Near-Death Studies and examined their experiences using two established questionnaires.
