Experiences
Out-of-body experiences (OBEs) are
one of the most common elements
of NDEs. What “NDErs” see and
hear of earthly events in the out-ofbody state is almost always realistic.
When the NDEr or others later seek
to verify what was observed or heard
during the NDE, the OBE observations are almost always confirmed
as completely accurate.
Even if the OBE observations during
the NDE included events far from
the physical body and far from any
possible sensory awareness of the
NDEr, the OBE observations are still
almost always confirmed as completely accurate. This fact alone
rules out the possibility that neardeath experiences are related to any
known brain functioning or sensory
awareness.
This also refutes the possibility that
NDEs are unrealistic fragments of
memory from the brain.
even legal blindness. Several people
who have been totally blind
since birth have reported highly
visual near-death experiences.
This is medically inexplicable.

Consciousness During
Anaesthesia
Many NDEs occur while
under general anaesthesia—at a
time when any conscious experience
should be impossible. While some
sceptics claim that these NDEs may
be the result of too little anaesthesia, this ignores the fact that some
NDEs result from anaesthesia overdose.
Additionally, the description of an
NDE differs greatly from that of
one who experiences “anaesthetic
awareness”. The content of NDEs
that occur under general anaesthesia is essentially indistinguishable
from NDEs that did not occur under
general anaesthesia.
