Hi,
First, I want to say my position on NDEs is agnostic. The evidence is compelling but not quite strong enough for me to believe, so I'm doing a lot of reading on it. My name is because I have a huge grudge against the inevitable nihilistic philosophy of materialism, even if materialism is right I will still think of life as more than just meat.
In NDEs many people say reality is "vibration". The first time i came across vibration is this NDE http://www.near-death.com/reincarnation/experiences/arthur-yensen.html At the time I thought the guy is a fraud when he said "master vibration" and every thing is vibration. But this vibration thing gets mentioned fairly consistently by NDErs, e.g. (skip to 20:30)
Eben Alexander mention vibration too.
I remember a NDEr who said the being of light showed her what consciousnes/love is, and she saw a vibrating 3D lattice in the universe (can't remember link). I never made much about this vibration thing, until yesterday when I watched this
and reading this http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/blogs/physics/2013/08/the-good-vibrations-of-quantum-field-theories/
I was like HOLY SHIT. For people who don't want to watch it, it says each elementary particle (like electron) is a VIBRATION in its respective field (electron is a localized vibration in the electron field).
Oneness of consciousness gets mentioned consistently. NDErs say consciousness/afterlife is a "higher state of vibration". Also Michael Persinger, a confirmed materialist, believes consciousness is a magnetic field from his telepathy experiments

Vibration is definitely not part of western culture's perception of afterlife. If NDEs are hallucinations, it's rather strange it keeps getting mentioned. My questions are:
(1) does eastern culture/buddhism have the the notion of vibration in soul/afterlife?
(2) might consciousness be a "higher state of vibration" like with electrons/quarks? So consciousness is PHYSICAL, just like elementary particles. In the video it says the Higgs field is everywhere but very difficult to detect. Also dark matter is very difficult to detect. Is it possible our instruments just aren't sensitive enough to pickup the conscious field? That why no one ever detected soul particles. So brain really does act like a receiver of the conscious field, and a person's soul is like a (very large) elementary particle in the conscious field
What are your thoughts on this? And any skeptics, please point out what you see wrong. Can someone get Bernardo Kastrup in here? I would like his view on this, if he's willing to comment.
