Contrary to what you think, I'm not shutting my mind to anything. I'm pointing out that I have no way to study the phenomenon in question. Sure, I can read stories that tantalize, but without tools, without an observational framework, without a means of reproduction--you have a disjoint between these experiences, and everything else in existence.

Yes, a huge disjoint, which is why it is so fascinating.

Well... we don't really know how big a disjoint it is: To crack the NDE problem, we first have to crack the consciousness problem.

That said: The existence of a puzzle--is not a solution.

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
