Near-death experiences have been a source of ongoing
controversy for centuries. Depending on whom you ask, you’ll get totally
different interpretations regarding these profound phenomena of personal
experiences related to impending death. Descriptions from those who are usually
clinically dead often include bright light, sensations of detachment from the
body, travel through space, and intense emotions. Many in the scientific
community refer to these experiences as hallucinations, while paranormal
experts and others support them as evidence of an afterlife.
The Medical Research Council and Brain Sciences Unit
states, “These experiences classically involve the feeling that one's soul has
left the body, approaches a bright light and goes to another reality, where
love and bliss are all encompassing. Contrary to popular belief, research
suggests that there is nothing paranormal about these experiences. Instead,
near-death experiences are the manifestation of normal brain function gone
awry, during a traumatic, and sometimes harmless, event.”
