 Timeless
I wanted to start a new thread explaining why I feel the way I do about the legitimacy of NDEs and psi experiences, so the Skeptics here might have a better idea of where us "believer" folk are coming from. I think this might be better than just trying to change the each other's views.
The main reason I believe NDEs are "real" experiences (and also psi to a smaller degree) is because the best, most meaningful and beautiful experiences in my life have always been accompanied by a sense of "timelessness". This sense is emotional in that it is a feeling of stillness and satisfaction and intellectual as an understanding that no moment is really lost to time. Those moments, which I experience often through meditation and sometimes drugs, feels more "real", which is probably why it feels so good.
These emotional and intuitive peaks have led me to believe that all physical "time" is simply part of a greater reality of timelessness. When people who have had NDEs and psi experiences describe something similar I take them seriously.
Don't get the impression that this all about emotivism because I also feel I have equally valid intellectual justifications as well but I just wanted to let you all see where I'm coming from and if ya'll have experienced something similar.  |
