However, if human consciousness is independent of the physical brain and survives its death, why is it that 82% of the 344 patients studied by Pim van Lommel had no NDE at all? Variations on a theme of Calvin?-
Humans vary, as certainly do our brains. Using the disputed IQ as an example, it has a huge range. Some folks are psychic, as my wife. Some are privilaged to be able to have NDe's. Nothing else makes sense.
