This sounds cynical, but we need also to consider the experiences of NDE-ers, who report that they were still themselves, consciously experienced feelings of overwhelming peace and happiness, and met up with dead people they knew. There are lots of other psychic phenomena involving contact with the dead (often with messages), and I’m not prepared to dismiss every single one as fraud, delusion, coincidence etc. The door remains open.

This is a big subject, especially because it calls into question the relevance of God to life on Earth, not to mention the promise offered by many religions that earthly suffering will somehow be compensated for by a loving, caring God in a better world to come.

There are two new books for me to review on NDE. I have them and will report. One is by van Lommel! the other a good review.
