I have been reading a book about coma’s and near death experiences . For someone who has been into these topics for many years , I’m surprised to learn so much about people’s experiences within a coma , the variety of experiences . While familiar with the medical condition of “locked in syndrome,” I’ve never heard of “cognitive motor dissociation.” TERRIFYING!
Anyways …
So many experiences that we say are evidence of it “must be real,” when it comes to , say, NDE’s, like “realer than real.”
People in comas report some crazy stuff and they claim it’s not like a dream, it’s like a memory, and they can “remember it like yesterday.”
Some are clearly hallucinations, but others sound just like NDE’s.
One person even had a bunch of weird experiences but no observable EEG activity , while in a coma ? I don’t know the medical stuff . I’m not a doc . If anyone wants the info of the book just let me know .
I’m just making the point that there is a lot to “accidently … not know.” And the level of expertise is quite specific . Even someone like Sam Parnia, a CPR expert and someone who knows a lot about the brain, never referenced this coma research . He makes it sound like two options . Pleasant NDE’s are “real,” and “bad NDE’s” are related to hallucinations or medical related , earthly stuff … but in reality , lots of other options .
Just food for thought
