NYU Study - Revived Patients Share Life-After-Death Experiences

Another study on NDEs. This one from NYU. This study talks about oxygen and the brain and how long the brain is still functioning after a person flatlines and so on. It also talks about what people experienced while technically dead. Click on the link to read the entire article. It's interesting.

NYU Study - Revived Patients Share Life-After-Death Experiences

“I remember seeing my dad,” said one patient after flatlining.

“I caught glimpses of my life and felt pride, love, joy and sadness, all pouring into me,” recalled another after being pulled back from the brink.

“I do remember a being of light … standing near me. It was looming over me like a great tower of strength, yet radiating only warmth and love,” a third survivor shared.

These and many other haunting recollections were described by cardiac arrest patients who underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation as they hovered on death’s doorstep.

‘I was shown the consequences of my life, thousands of people that I’d interacted with and felt what they felt about me, saw their life and how I had impacted them. Next I saw the consequences of my life and the influence of my actions.’

One of the most common shared experiences among people who have been revived following cardiac arrest is a 360-degree awareness of the space around them.

n that state of awareness, they’re often observing doctors and nurses working to save their lives, but their observation is completely placid and free of fear or distress.

‘I was no longer in my body. I floated without weight or physicality. I was above my body and directly below the ceiling of the intensive therapy room. I observed the scene taking place below me.’

And, yes, many people actually do see their lives pass before their eyes, much like in stories from folklore and popular media.

“Somehow in death their entire life comes to the fore,” said Parnia. “It’s a deep, purposeful and meaningful reevaluation of their lives.”

‘I was asked if I wanted to come home … or wanted to come back here. I told them that my two sons needed me and I had to go back. I was suddenly in my body again feeling my achy joints flaring in pain.’

Is it proof of true life after death or just a common halousination that occurs to most people as just part of death? One is an afterlife. The other is a shutdown of the brain that occures when the body fails. Neither can be proven in my opinion.

For someone to have real proof, they are beyond the ability to tell anyone else about it.

You sure are sharing a lot of threads lately about death, Flyersfan.

I hope this doesn’t mean you anticipate it soon — as I tremendously appreciate you! 🍻

Pretty much all of humanity has been programmed to have an expectation of the afterlife, and it's been proven at times of extreme stress or when the body is going through a crisis the hallucinogenic, D M T is released by the brain. Perhaps our pre-programming allows us to create the vision we most expect to see?

a reply to: beyondknowledge2

I guess what’s the difference? What is true life? Could it all be an hallucination? Life itself a long script of code projecting packets of existence. On the experience of the now and the memories of previous projections. The past.

i think you have it backwards. of course we could both be right.

since all humans have the same brain, that functions the same way, and has barely changed since we first came about, it just makes sense that we would have the same experiences in general.

so back in the caveman days, some flatlined and came back to tell the story. this became lore and religion, and it fed on itself. the lore creates expectation, then stories reinforce the lore, which creates the expectations and so on.

an actual afterlife or dmt hallucination, i have no clue. logically its dmt and lack of oxygen. hopefully, its an afterlife. we just wont know till we get there.

a reply to: stormson

Well, you could be right. I'm not sure we really know if cave men actually had near death experiences, though.
I think our ideas on an after life came much later when tribal shamans imbibed in certain plants that created other-worldly visions.

Something interesting my daughter told me more than once, she is a nurse and was an ER nurse for many years, now she has move up to administration, she used to tell me all kind of stories of when people are near dead, they would be pointing to areas in the room or will be found having conversations with people that nobody else could see.

She said it was a very nice elderly men that told her his wife was coming for him, but he wife has been dead for decades.

Also, she has witness people that were flat line and after been revive would be very angry to the staff for bringing them back to life, many wanted to stay dead.

Yeah I know someone who was like that when he was revived...

I dont remember being revived, but I remember my NDE, had my soul weighed, thats about all I want to say in regard to my own NDE.

Some dude I know says hes an atheist because he had an NDE and there was nothing--so I resopnded "If you were there, is that nothing?" and continued on about the conscious and his lack of depth of character and imagination, and that this 'nothing' is a blank slate to create your own reality and sh^t.

Thank your daughter, first of all, Doctors get so much credit, esteem, and financial compensation. Nurses are the ones who get chit-done. We have one unbelievable hero nurse who undoubtedly saved my BIL's life

Here is my brother-in-law's story when I get a chance to get him alone, I'm going ask him what he experienced those times he didn't have a pulse.

Interesting thread.

Now, as KKLOCO pointed out, we love you, FlyersFan. I hope you're doing well. What's the reason behind your recent interest in the subject of death and going to heaven?

You're alive for a reason and you're a beautiful person. God bless

This study says that 40% of the people revived had memories or were aware. That means that 60% did not. Many people report a 'void' or 'nothingness' when having a NDE. So the what is typically thought of with an NDE ... the tunnel and bright light, dead relatives, etc ... doesn't happen as often as people think.

I didn't think it was that many. Just think it's very interesting.
Death is something we all have to face.
Might as well know as much about it as we can ... and that's not much really.

NDE's are simply that - NEAR death experiences. I want to believe they are an indication of what happens after dying, and I do think our energy goes on in some form or another.

But if someone comes back from 'death' they weren't actually dead. IMO death comes after a person cannot be resuscitated and and electrical activity in the body has ceased. Of course we'll never really know until it happens to us

I simply don’t understand this obsession with winning between those who think there’s an afterlife and those annoying atheist types who want to just cease to exist forever when they die and they won’t be able to sleep each night until they convince two MORE Christians that God is STOOPID! Gods DUMB! What, you love your grey bearded clique walker man!? You know, those insufferable type people (and yes, it’s always Christians, never anyone else…they love and respect other religions…what a perfect sign by the way to just chalk up to coincidence…I’m sure the universe does whatever the equivalent of the universe shaking its head then smacking its forehead in defeat would be).

Why don’t people side with option 3? And my God, Liberals, I’m ashamed you didn’t think of it ALREADY! That NEITHER of those things happen, at least not yet!

No ancient civilization EVER believed in turning off for eternal sleep. And no, I would argue that saying it is just because they were too stupid to understand death so they made up an explanation they found comforting.

Nope…no way. The beliefs we do find all over the world have such incredibly deep, complex, and intertwined systems describing their every concept. And it’s no simple math or anything. There are complex numbers, seriously complex and so called divine math and geometry. Those people got this information somewhere and I promise you, it wasn’t made up in boredom.

So how is it we can’t be so sure that the idea death is the end is WAY outta left field and a belief which is VERY unexpected because in reality, what is suggested is the OPPOSITW ENTIRELY of that. How do we know that upon leaving this body, we don’t continue into the next dimension and a form of existence we can’t even fathom with this brain in some eternal fractalling that is being done with our essence or soul and that we are well aware of and only forget so as some side effect of being in the matter dimension.

Maybe the idea we die at all is so absurd and again, it seems to be a solely modern belief…and it only came about now that we have been so far removed from spirituality by some enemy that the universe is even concerned now with the beliefs floating in our heads as of late, even if those beliefs couldn’t BE more ridiculous in reality? I think this universe and the pyramid of dimensions is so so so complex and just beyond anything a third dimensional being like ourselves could even start to put together but that’s why we will be moving higher and leaving this body.

Not because anyone…DIES…silly goothe!

But you actually lived a one dimensional existence you don’t remember…and you have been judged worth sending along a step higher and you will need a more powerful BRAIN and body to begin your NEXT experience, my child!! You thought in this giant complex machine of beings of all levels of dimensions, you were only going to get to experience life as one of em!?”

❤️❤️❤️😌

I ran across this purely by accident this morning, but gave it a viewing any way. Given that this topic is of interest to you, I thought you might want to see it. It hasn't changed my own mind, but it did give me a few things to consider.
