A near-death experience (NDE), a term coined by Dr. Raymond Moody in the mid 70’s, is a subjective experience that typically occurs during life-threatening situations. Many people who have had NDE’s often report feeling a sense of peace and well-being, as well as seeing a bright light or other otherworldly beings. They may also report feeling detached from their physical bodies and having out-of-body experiences.
NDE’s are often described as being very vivid and life-changing. Some people who have had NDE’s say that they have a new appreciation for life and that they no longer fear death. Others say that their NDE’s have given them a sense of purpose or direction in life.
NDE’s are a controversial topic, and there is no scientific consensus on what causes them. Some people believe that NDE’s are simply hallucinations or delusions that occur when the brain is deprived of oxygen. Others believe that NDE’s are real experiences that offer us a glimpse of the afterlife.
Regardless of what causes NDE’s, they are a fascinating and mysterious phenomenon that has captured the attention of people and artists for centuries. NDE’s are still being studied further.
