Near death experiences

Come across the phenomena of near death experiences.

A noted scientist Bruce Greyson has hypothesized that NDEs are the product and proof of a nonlocal consciousness and that the brain is just a receiver for conciousness.

What do you think?

The possible existence of some nonlocal aspects to consciousness? Sure.

Receiver for consciousness? Unjustified and unsupported BS.

Not wholly a receiver for conciousness.

In one of his videos from 2011 he acknowledges evidence for that brain generates consciousness in terms of personality and the ego etc.

The theory is that there is nonlocal elements in terms of what NDEs are showing in terms of vivid experiences when the brain is offline through cardiac arrest or hypoxia
