Whenever I read these types of stories I often find myself hoping that they are true. That there is indeed an afterlife. But taking people's word for things that happened to them while they were unconscious... There is no way to verify his experience. He could be making the whole thing up to sale a book. After being burned by Mormonism I just can't take spiritual experiences at face vale.

great story, I believe the good doctor. I have long left the idea of materialism behind. To each their own. I do not judge those who reject these possibilities.

Back to church?

NDE's for the most part contradict the need for organized religion as any sort of necessary function (they may be helpful for some people).

From the story:
“You are loved and cherished, dearly, forever.”

“You have nothing to fear.”

“There is nothing you can do wrong.”

According to some, we are already "saved", always have been and there is nothing that can separate us from our higher self.

If so, Religion and Mormonism create a wedge when they use fear based thinking and the concepts of guilt and "sin".

The again, if it is all good in the end, Mormonism really cannot do any harm either.

I've posted this story before, but it's been a while, so I thought I would bore you all with it again.

Years ago, when I was working as a medical photographer, I went into the surgeons lounge between cases for a cup of coffee. Two cardiac surgeons I knew well were on the couch watching a daytime talk show program on the lounge tv. The subject was near death experiences. At the next commercial break I asked them what they thought about all that.

They both laughed. They told me about a case they had recently.

The day after a very extensive and dicey open heart surgery one of these surgeons visited their patient to see how things were going. The patient said that he had been watching his entire surgery while hovering near the surgery suite ceiling.

He described everything that happened, everyone that entered or left the room and many of the conversations that took place. Things that he couldn't possibly have known.

The doctor was a little disturbed by all this and even had a psychiatrist do an interview with the patient.

I asked the other doctor (from India) if he was disturbed by this. He smiled a big grin and said "I'm Hindu, we believe in all that stuff".
