Out of body and near death experiences. Are they proof of an afterlife? Out of body, mystical experiences are surprisingly common. Does this mean that life after death exists? A third of people who have been near death report experiencing such an event. This kind of experience typically involves feelings of peacefulness, out of body detachment, seeing a bright light or moving through a tunnel. Believers and people of faith say that this is proof of an afterlife, and is evidence of a God that has a plan for our souls upon death. Even scientists say that in order to prove the existence of an afterlife, someone would have to return from the dead to tell us what happened. Doesn’t this near death experience then provide proof of an after life? Or can this phenomenon be explained through testing and science? First, people’s near death experience seems to be almost universally positive, with people reporting feelings of peace, comfort and reduced anxiety. Second, culture seems to influence what people experience. A recent scientific study by Neuroscientists Blanke, Faivre and Dieguez concluded that the “disembodied” experience is due to disturbances in a part of the brain called the temporo-parietal cortex. This is the part of the brain that gives us a sense of self, and body. Electromagnetic stimulation of this area has been demonstrated to produce out of body experiences. What about the people that see tunnels and a bright light at the end of the tunnel? The late Carl Sagan, famous astrophysicist, suggested that death can produce a kind of “remembrance of birth syndrome.” A feeling of being in a tunnel and seeing a bright light at the end of the tunnel is not unlike what a baby might experience as it is being born. And perhaps death can create this connection with latent memories of ones birth, he argued. When the human brain is dying, researchers have found that the body releases endorphins. These are the natural “feel good” drugs tha
