Surprise - and Discovery? - in the Near-Death Experience

Article exploring expressions of surprise and puzzlement that lend a ring of authenticity to self-reports of near-death experiences (NDEs). Surprise typically indicates the discovery of novel features of reality during the cognition-reality interplay that makes learning possible. If at least some NDE surprises are discoveries in a nonsubjective sense, then that cognition-reality interplay can continue during moments near death as subject learn that self and reality must be understood to include a nonmaterial realm.

Recreating Near-Death Experiences: A Cognitive Approach (open access)

Recreating Near-Death Experiences: A Cognitive Approach

Abstract: I describe a guided meditation that, when used by near-death experiencers (NDErs), recreates fragments of their NDEs. The meditation is based on Michael Persinger's neurological theory regarding the "God Experiences," and its success supports that theory. The present study included too few subjects to support quantitative analysis, and must be regarded as a pilot study.
