NDEs may complicate what science teaches us about death and consciousness. Dr. Bruce Greyson

Thank you, Tony.

Based on this article, Bruce Grayson’s findings about NDEs could be summarized as follows:

- NDEs are common and have been reported by people from all over the world and from all walks of life.
- NDEs share many common features, including a feeling of peace and well-being, a sense of being useparated from the physical body, and a feeling of being in a different realm or dimension.
- NDEs often have a profound impact on the experiencer, leading to changes in their worldview, values, and priorities.
- Some NDEs include experiences that suggest that consciousness may survive death, such as meeting deceased loved ones or seeing a panoramic view of one's life.
- However, there is no scientific consensus on the meaning or significance of NDEs.

Greyson cites the case of Jack, who had an NDE in which he met his deceased nurse, Anita. Anita told Jack that she had died in a car accident and asked him to tell her parents that she loved them. Jack had no way of knowing about Anita's death before his NDE, and her parents confirmed that she had died just hours before. This case, and others like it, suggest that NDEs may provide some evidence for the survival of consciousness after death.

However, Greyson also acknowledges that there are other possible explanations for NDEs. For example, he suggests that they may be caused by changes in brain activity or by hallucinations. He also notes that NDEs are often reported by people who are under extreme stress or who have been using drugs or alcohol.

Ultimately, Greyson says that the meaning of NDEs is a mystery. However, he believes that they can teach us valuable things about ourselves and about the nature of reality. He says that NDEs can help us to see that we are all interconnected and that we are part of something greater than ourselves.
