I realize that both you and dhw probably view me as "copping out" on the NDE issue, but I really feel like I'm being dishonest by engaging in an issue where all we have is wild speculation:

Where you see wild speculation, I don't. I see an unexplained phenomenon that begs for an answer we do not have, I've not offered an answer. I've simply wanted acceptance that an unexplained phenomenon exists and wants for an answer.
These are not hallucinations. I've met lots of those in practice, but what they are I do not know. Are they significant? Yes. I have my opinion that conscousness which is an emergent property from the brain, can at a quantum level exist independent from the brain. Van Lommel feels the same way, if the early part of his book is any indication. Does this prove anything? Of course not. Is it worth discussing? Yes, because we should not avoid any alley, even if we think it may be blind.

David, it IS wild speculation when you have a disjoint like this. Quantum mechanics? Does Lommel discuss that these interactions are very rare in nature, and that for we humans to be able to induce large-scale entanglement, we have to operate in temperatures colder than liquid nitrogen?

Physics needs to be able to induce entanglement at temperatures of the human body before THAT road leads to any enlightenment.
