What do you mean? People will experience a different "trip" simply because its all in your own head so its what your subconscious makes it.

I'm saying there are people who are equally "as dead" as people who have NDEs... but they have nothing.

So why do some people experience this release of chemicals from the brain and others don't?

You'd think if a NDE was a by product of the brain releasing chemicals prior to death for a pleasant transition to nothingness, it'd be much more prevalent, standard experience.

I've almost died several times, never got to meet Allah or whatever(seriously).

Some acquaintances smoked DMT one night they died later that morning but I guess we'll never know. R.I.P.

Im really not sure but I would guess that many people simply don't remember the NDE. My friends who have tried DMT said in their head the trip took years/decades but in real time it was only 15 minutes. Some of them couldn't remember what they had seen. Others explained an out of body experience similar to all of these NDE stories. :yeshrug: Not really sure. Im not advocating for the use of DMT - just saying its a very logic explanation for people "seeing the light of God at the end of the tunnel".

I don't know... I've read pretty in-depth on these and it seems the experience is life altering for almost every, if not all experiencers of the NDE. I don't think that's the same for people who have the feeling replicated by extreme g-forces or drugs.

Bottom line is though... neither of us know.

:yeshrug:

We know so little about the brain. We'll both find out if there's anything after death before science tells us if the NDE is natural or supernatural.

You're def right that no one knows for sure. I've done mushrooms in the past and they opened up avenues into my brain that I never knew existed. Its a very strange feeling and concept of looking at yourself in the 3rd person. You know how they say humans only use 10% of our brains or something like that? Well mushrooms open up wiring to certain parts of that other 90%. I would guess DMT has access to "hidden" parts of the brain as well. I would say NDE's are life alerting simply because people usually have never taken a hallucinogenic in their lives so the concept and reality warp is monumental for them. People that voluntarily smoke DMT sort of know what to expect so its not as spectacular for them. Thats my opinion on it :yeshrug:
