Nde hell visions why

They say that it's absolutely real. And that their consciousness is functioning much like it does in the body, except for some sort of additional abilities. This theory likens the brain to a cell phone or a radio receiving these hellish or heavenly images from some other place.

Science can't say for sure, but regardless of the cause, the effect is startling. Of all those who "die" and return, the vast majority are profoundly changed. Dovel sobered up, moved to Las Vegas and devoted his life to suicide prevention through International Suicide Prevention, his nonprofit organization. He helps people deal with the aftermath of suicides. Dovel said, "I see horrific things that we do to ourselves … and people say, 'How can you handle that?

In , the apparition of Mary, the mother of Jesus, appeared to six young people in the village of Medjugorje, Croatia.

These young visionaries were shown Heaven, Purgatory, and Hell in visions that were like watching a movie. Two of the visionaries were also physically transported to see these realms. A comparison of their observations of the other world with those of near-death experiencers NDErs shows a close similarity between them.

The visionaries' observations provide some corroboration for the City of Light and Realm of the Bewildered Spirits elements of the NDE and suggest the possibility of a third division called Hell.

Further study of frightening NDEs may reveal whether or not those NDErs who travel to a less than heavenly realm may be going to two separate places instead of one. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution.

In , a study was published in the Lancet that looked at the medical records of people who experienced NDE-like symptoms as a result of some injury or illness. Why would the brain react to death or even imagined death in such a way? Well, death is a scary thing. Imagine an alpine climber whose pick fails to catch the next icy outcropping as he or she plummets towards a craggy mountainside.

If one truly believes the next experience he or she will have is an intimate acquainting with a boulder, similar NDE-like sensations may arise i. You do not have to be, in reality, dying to have a near-death experience. What does this make of Heaven? Explaining the near death experience in a purely physical way is not to say that people cannot have a transformative vision or intense mental journey. The experience is real and tells us quite a bit about the brain while raising even more fascinating questions about consciousness.

But emotional and experiential gravitas says nothing of Heaven, or the afterlife in general. How can I dismiss the theological importance of NDEs so easily? As I said, I fully understand how real and valuable they can be. But in this case, as in science, a theory can be shot through with experimentation. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong. The experiment is exploring an NDE under different conditions.

Can the same sensations be produced when you are in fact not dying? If so, your rapping on the Pearly Gates is an illusion, even if Heaven were real.
