    missing forums...

    @Alex I really think the "debate between skeptics & proponents" section should be brought back. To me the main purpose of this forum is rigorous debate between skeptics and believers, I know of no other forum that's not either full of bigotted pseudoskeptics, or new age woo believers.

    Octopus research shows that consciousness isn’t what makes humans special

    My family has a cat. I can say for certain it has many human characteristics. My budgies before didn't exhibit this level of anthropomorphism though.

    Syncope and NDEs

    I have low blood pressure and when i crouch for a long time then sudden stand up, I always experience syncope for a few seconds. I sometimes see flashing lights, but it feels VERY peaceful and pleasant for those few seconds. Just then I experienced it again and thought of this study, I can say...

    Syncope and NDEs

    I supposed I should be glad with no replies, one study with no corroboration and no in depth description of what the subjects really experienced. Is @Bart V a skeptic? I would like all skeptics to read this thread and see if they know anything, please reply and tag any skeptic you know. How do...

    Syncope and NDEs

    I was reading Kevin Nelson and he cited a study here http://www.anesthesiaweb.org/images/hypoxia/Lempert-1994a.pdf, syncope & NDEs by Lempert Brauer & Schmidt. Does anyone know of a source with actual interviews of the patients? The table recording the frequency can be quite misleading, DMT...

    Sleep paralysis

    Did a being of light approach you and give you a choice to stay or go back? Did it feel more real than waking consciousness? Did you know about NDEs before this incident?

    Everything Doesn't Happen for a Reason

    I'm with the author 100%. Anyone who disagrees obviously hasn't experienced real pain for decades on and seeing no end in sight. You experience some minor temporary problems in life and think you've "learned" from the process, you have no idea what true pain is like.

    Where do bad folks go when they die? ("Bad People" NDE Talk)

    There aren't enough suicide NDE reports to overcome possible "cover up". The main aspect of NDEs are far too common for a cover up, i.e. anecdotal evidence in the masses will eliminate cover up/fraud. I wish veridical perception with 3rd party verification is as common as NDEs themselves.

    Where do bad folks go when they die? ("Bad People" NDE Talk)

    I think terrifying suicide NDEs are just a scare tactic, society has huge prejudice against suicide for some reason. There's no way a god with unconditional love will do that to the suiciders, unless they did it without a good reason (like to hurt those around them, suicide when their life is...

    veridical perception during sleep

    That's the kind of perception I'd expect from OBEs, I have it all the time during dreaming, e.g. https://drpennysartori.wordpress.com/2011/11/04/are-all-obes-accurate-some-findings-from-my-hospital-nde-research/ I find it hard to believe people can hallucinate accurately during OBE using just...

    veridical perception during sleep

    Were you sleeping in your room? Were you able to hear what's going on outside? Because if you can't receive any information and you still dreamt of it, that's telepathy. I'm asking about someone who's sleeping and people are standing right next to the person, describing what's going on in the...

    veridical perception during sleep

    Has there been any studies of people accurately hallucinating what's going on around them during sleep, by having other people talking around the sleeping subject and describing the scene? A lot of skeptical arguments against veridical OBEs focus on the person being able to construct an accurate...

    If AWARE 2 got 10 hidden target hits, would you kill yourself?

    I know this sounds like a troll thread. But I'm want to know other people's opinions. It would make so much more sense to just take your life and enter a realm of unconditional love and never experience pain again. After all my research I'm convinced by "everyday standards" NDEs are real, but...

    Lots going on in the brain even when it appears dead

    I'm saying if materialism turns out to be correct (I'm agnostic but leaning towards NDEs), it must be a variety of unknown chemicals working together and not some other explanation like anoxia/brain functioning during flat EEG. I've seen NDEs happen in enough situations to rule out all the usual...

    Lots going on in the brain even when it appears dead

    I find it hard to believe you can have accurate veridical hallucination and hyper real consciousness 1 minute into cardiac arrest. The fact is non of the materialist explanation have ever successfully induced an NDE with dramatic life change afterwards. And thinking there's a small amount of...
