Most people including scientists already know for a fact that the
brain is indeed organic. However the claim that these NDEs are caused
by hallucinations of a dying brain are merrily speculation and so far
I have yet to see any hard unambiguous evidence in support of that.
People who accept the likely existence of a paranormal afterlife have
the understanding that though the brain in the stage when an NDE is
usually experienced is still working, it is not necessarily working
effectively. People who are extreme meditaters already know that once
they go deeper then REM there is actually a decreased chance of having
such hallucinations as the brain cannot be fully aware of them.
There is a paranormal art similar to meditation which is known as
"Astral Projection" which people train to enter themselves into a
severe trancelike state which drops their brain wave levels well
below the common levels associated with REM sleep. So the question is
of course, with such little brain activity when compared to the
much more active (REM SLEEP when there is even eye movement), can
people be simply hallucinating these things? When you enter this
stage which is far below the dream state you even lack the ability
to breath and resporate properly and your pupils begin to dilate.
This is *NOT* the same thing as REM SLEEP. This is how serious this
issue is.
Those who claim that these are simply hallucinations created by the
brain at this point are only speculating regardless to the fact that
measurements of brain activity during these NDEs and OBEs do not
reflect their theories and claims when compared with those brain
activity measurements taken when one undergoes the typical stages
of REM sleep.
