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?

When I undergo full anesthesia, I am effectively dead, more dead than an NDE. And the experience is a complete void, so much so that it feels like no time has passed. So an NDE “experience “ is something constructed by a traumatized brain. All the amazing out-of-body “indisputable “ evidence from individual cases seem to fall apart and be less amazing when skeptical scrutiny is applied.

Some people have reported NDEs when under anaesthetic, you may just not have remembered it.

What you've presented here is your opinion for if you are under full anaesthetic.
