People of all ages and places woke up after they were about to die, and they recounted strange stories, including their leaving their bodies and their ascension to heaven. Are these visions fantasies or is it a mysterious phenomenon whose science has not been revealed so far?

There is an assumption that biochemical reactions within the brain and sensory perceptions are what generate these "visions" at a time when the body is under exceptional tension in which it senses the imminent danger of death.

The German women's magazine "Jolly" published a report on the strange experience of "Christine S." When she was 19 years old, when she lost consciousness after a traffic accident, her heart stopped beating and then lived - according to her words - "near death experience", according to a report by author Hassan Zendand at the "Deutsche Welle" website.

This event changed Christine's life upside down, and she said, "I saw my body on the operating table in the hospital with an open chest .. I looked at myself from above .. I heard the surgeons say hurry up ... We will lose it ... I didn't feel anything ... I was just amazed ... Then I saw a wonderful light, and I suddenly felt a warm and soft floor under my bare feet .. My grandparents came to me calling me by my name (Tina) and hugged me hard .. The two died while I was young before I could remember them .. At that time I understood that I had died in my turn. "

Clinically dead

It happened on April 22, 2000, and Christina was clinically dead for 23 minutes, before doctors could bring her back to life. This is one of millions of stories from different continents and races ... experiences that were once seen as hallucinations, before they became the subject of scientific studies.

Is it about mere fantasies or delirium, or something else that science has not yet been able to decipher? In this regard, German neurologist Wilfried Kon, who has been researching the subject for nearly a quarter of a century, sees that "science reaches here to its maximum limits ... It can of course be the cause of this lack of oxygen or the effect of hypnosis drugs so that hallucinations occur, but if the matter is just delusions How can a patient see things while he is clinically dead?

Experts believe that at least 10% of people have experienced "imminent death" experiences, according to press statements by a neurologist at the Royal Hospital in Copenhagen, Daniel Condesella on the subject, that "all of these people (returning from death) have been resuscitated again, and their brains have survived Alive without any major damage, otherwise they could not tell what they lived in those experiences many years after they occurred, and this means that they are experiments that occur at a time when the brain is still working well. "

Nearing death

In 1892, the Swiss geologist Albert Heim, who was a mountain climber, lived an "imminent death" experience, detailing it in the annual book published by the "Swiss Alps Club" entitled "Notes about death during a fall."

Heim described precisely the seconds he lived falling from the mountain, and how he re-watched his life's tape in a momentum of positive sentiments, even though he was about to lose his life. Strangely enough, the experience was not related to the fear of death. On the contrary, he made it clear that he was swimming in a sea of ​​indescribable inner peace.

What Heim experienced led him to conduct a series of interviews with other alpine climbers, who told him similar experiments published in a study that described 30 experiments of "imminent death." Thereafter, psychiatrists Roy Kelty and Russell Noyes Heims translated Heim's reports into English and published them in the United States, and were the basis for the wave of "imminent death studies" conducted in the 1960s and 1970s.

Visions

A "near death experience" (NDE) is an experience that expresses a set of "visions and sensations" after a clinical death or advanced coma. Among them is the feeling of "separation from the body" and a complete view of the bar of past life, then entering a "tunnel that leads to bright light and a feeling of lasting love and eternal peace."

Although some of the details of his "returnees from death" differ from some of his details and coloring, many elements of this scenario are repeated either partially or completely. But there are also some "negative experiences" associated with feelings of pain and unhappiness.

Raymond Moody

Raymond Moody is an American philosopher and physician, and the most famous contemporary researcher who specializes in studying the mysterious boundaries between life and death. He did not live the "imminent death experience" himself, but he mixed with many people who lived that experience. At the time, there were no scientific or university studies specialized in dealing with the subject, so he tried to develop a precise methodology and investigated 150 cases that were the subject of his famous book "Life After Life" which he published in 1975.

In his book, Moody accurately described the elements that are repeated in the narration of those who "returned from death" as follows: At first he hears "returnees from death" banging or ringing, after which they launch with tremendous speed into a long, narrow, dark tunnel, to suddenly find himself outside his body but with a full awareness of his surroundings Then a slow adapting phase begins to understand and understand the new situation with awareness of owning a body, but it is different from the physical body.

The scenario is evolving so that other beings who say "the returnees" are relatives and acquaintances are dead. There are also those who narrate watching his life tape from birth, but without a real sense of the concept of time. Many tell of their approach to a "symbolic barrier" that separates life and death, knowing that passing it means no return.

The majority of those who have experienced the experience speak of abundant feelings and an eternal feeling of love and happiness that they have never experienced in their lives. "Returnees" say that this experience changed their lives upside down and changed their view of life and death.

The dead hears and understands

According to author Inga Kardushina, in a previous report published by the Russian "FB-R", in general, the human brain lives much longer (after the heart stops) than many believe.

The brain activity begins to shrink and separation occurs gradually, and the different parts of the brain begin to stop working individually and sequentially. Therefore, the human brain may survive for several hours.

The writer stated that awareness continues after the human heart stops working, as it continues to perceive everything that is going on around it, and if he can no longer make any indication of his life. Meanwhile, scientists confirm that the dead hear and understand everything that surrounds it.

She emphasized that in the last hours of brain death, during this short period of time a person feels that he is a prisoner inside his body, and hears and feels everything around him.

Kardoshina explained that many studies have confirmed that the last thing that dies in the brain is the region related to memories. Accordingly, it can be explained why those who have experienced the experience of clinical death pass all fronts of their lives in front of them.

In general, studies are not complete yet, as the human brain is considered one of the most difficult mysteries that have not been solved yet.
