Near-death Experiences:
Where Science points to spirituality
The MysteryHow can we be conscious when we are not conscious? Near-death Experiences (NDEs) are the extraordinary perceptions of physically unconscious people who were close to death
NDEs – two aspects
Other-worldly perceptions: scientifically unexaminable This-worldly perceptions: scientifically examinable

Operation standstill: Pam Reynolds
Giant basilar artery aneurysmBody temperature lowered to 60 F, Heartbeat and breathing stopped,Brain waves flattened, and Blood drained from her head. Special earpieces emitting 90 to 100 decibel clicks at a rate of 11 to 13 clicks per second.
Operation standstill “At that stage in the operation, nobody can observe, hear, in that state, And I find it inconceivable that your normal senses, such as hearing, let alone the fact that she had clicking modules in each ear, that there was any way to hear through normal auditory pathways. I don't have an explanation for it. I don't know how it's possible for it to happen, considering the physiological state she was in. At the same time, I have seen so many things that I can't explain, that I don't want to be so arrogant as to be able to say that there's no way it can happen.” - Dr. Spetzler
The Implication"What is clear is that something profound is happening. The mind - the thing that is 'you' - your 'soul' if you will - carries on after conventional science says it should have drifted into nothingness." - Dr Sam Parnia
