 Near-death experience - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Regardless of the origin of the phenomenon, the subjective experience of NDEs is well-documented by the field of Near-Death Studies.
A 'core' near-death experience reflects — as intensity increases according to the Rasch scale — peace, joy and harmony, followed by insight and mystical or religious experiences (Lange, Greyson and Houran, 2004).
Death related visions can serve to restore a sense of control and order to the universe, which is particularly important in dealing with untimely deaths or the death of a child.

 near-death experiences (NDEs)
Even the experiences of most interest to parapsychologists--such as the “mystical experience,” the “light at the end of the tunnel” experience, the “life review” experience, and the out-of-body experience (OBE)--rarely occur together in near-death experiences.
Similar experiences can be induced through electrical stimulation of the temporal lobe (and hence of the hippocampus) during neurosurgery for epilepsy, with high carbon dioxide levels (hypercarbia), and in decreased cerebral perfusion resulting in local cerebral hypoxia as in rapid acceleration during training of fighter pilots, or as in hyperventilation followed by valsalva manoeuvre.
These mimicking experiences are often the result of psychosis (due to severe neurochemical imbalance) or drug usage, such as hashish, LSD, or DMT.

 Near-Death Experience
--> Many people who die (or nearly die) and come back to life have an experience.
Many if not most of these experiences are not considered real or important by the experiencer, but there are many experiencers who consider their experience to be real and they are profoundly changed by the experience.
Please keep in mind that even these experiences are filtered in the sense that those who do not think the experience carried any significance are not likely to report it.

 The "Near-Death Experience"
Actually a collection of experiences reported by individuals who have approached death, or undergone death and then returned to life, the NDE is widely interpreted as a genuine, representative experience of the afterlife.
The NDE phenomenon aims to remove the fear of dying and replace it with a calm acceptance—or even eager anticipation—of death and an afterlife on the New Age model.
On numerous points it contradicts the teachings of Scripture, the Patristic writings, and Holy Tradition concerning death and the afterlife, and appears to be one element of the emerging religion of Antichrist.

 DEATH HAD A FACE: The Specter of Death in Shamanism and Zen
However, death, the Near Death Experience (NDE), or the Out-of-Body Experience (OBE) that has a major role in various accounts of SOME Awakening experiences, although discounted in most of the Wanderling's offerings, is not totally overlooked either...it is just not emphasized as a key proponent in the various things the Wanderling presents.

The near-death experience as a focus of clinical attention and the inclusion of a new diagnostic category in the DSM-IV called "Religious or spiritual problem" (Code V 62.89) is discussed more closely by Greyson (1997) and Lukoff, Lu and Turner (1998).

Victor Cecilioni, a Canadian physician, examined cancer death rates in various Canadian cities and found that the cancer death rate in fluoridated areas was 15-25% higher in fluoridated areas than in nonfluoridated areas.
He explained that this higher death rate was not due to fluoride, but to a failure to graduate from high school.
