Commentary thread for tim's "NDE's" thread

Damn, tim, that was good enough to be a Psience Quest Interview.

Thanks, Ian. He is a very interesting guy. It's the same kind of report as the one from Dr Rajiv Parti's patient, "The Frozen man." If anyone has any questions, maybe Kevin would come on the forum and answer them (possibly). I don't know of course, he might be too busy.

Mario Beauregard was researching this area (out of body experiences during hypothermic standstill) previously but it came to a stop because he couldn't get funding to do it, I think.

will you leave it up if you get her permission? I mean, it doesn't have any PID information in it so it should be fine.

Thanks Tim - that was lovely.

You're very welcome, Obiwan I'm glad you liked it!

This is a remarkable report from a medically retired anaesthesiologist. It was published on a question and answer forum and has received over 100,000 views and many comments so I can see no reason why it shouldn't be available for comment here.

You're welcome to argue in the appropriate place for our guidelines to be changed, tim, but as they stand, the reason why the article shouldn't be available for comment here is that doing so breaches those guidelines.

I found this brief report on the net a few years ago.

This True Mystic Experience appeared in the November 2011 edition of FATE

Seriously? It’s from 2011, I doubt that anyone gives a damn about it being published on an obscure forum that hardly anybody reads. In the big picture? Is this unfair?
I think that’s a bit extreme. Does Fate itself have permission to write about the incident?

Hi Steve,

Like I wrote to tim, if anybody, including you, wants to make a case for our existing guidelines to be changed, then you're welcome to do that in the appropriate place.

Thanks, Stan. I agree with you. I don't think it's even remotely likely that Fate magazine would be bothered; that's why I posted it. Even if it did come to their attention, all they would do is ask admin to take it down. To be fair to Laird/Doug though, "rules is rules,"  so no hard feelings from me.  

I suppose I'm a bit like the phantom NDE content poster. I stick it up hoping they (the site police) won't notice...and they're on me removing my "graffiti" quicker than you can say "paranormal".  Damn, foiled again !
