See how you just embarrassed yourself. Show me where I emphatically stated anything has been proven scientifically.

I referenced the study as a comparison for the trash you brought because you don't know what makes study a. valid. Or you want to pretend?

Now, you want to turn it around as if I said it is proven. But at least it said it can't be proven scientifically, and if you understand science very well you should know what that means

When something is not proven scientifically it means either of this; it may be true or not true, but we don't know

Besides, you just picked what to troll on and skipped the below from the others.The article you sheepishly swallowed claim without evidence that brains mechanism can still function to produce the vivid imageries associated with NDEs.

This not the first time you have brought in trash study that are invalid
What's there to be embarrassed about? You need to stop projecting.
What I posted and everything you've posted point to brain activity, no matter how limited, being responsible for NDE/RDE. You are the one who thinks there is something more going on and have failed over countless exchanges on this thread to prove your position is more than mumbo jumbo.,

Modified. You said they should tell people who may not know if they will experience OBEs or NDEss to go into a room and describe something? Do you even know the difference between something happening spontaneously and at will?

You certainly don't know.
I asked you about OBEs (not NDEs) and the ability to see things that are not in your immediate vicinity. It's apparent that NDE or RDE are due to brain activity and wholly dependent on what the person knows or believes. That much is clear.
You brought up spontaneous OBEs and said you have experienced such multiple times. However, your "OBE body" spontaneously coming out of your physical body should not prevent your "OBE body" from willfully going to another location. Unless it is mumbo jumbo. I asked you to clarify your statements about OBEs and you refused.

And supposing, anyone can do what you're asking you expect them to let you know about it, and then you ask them to fly to your house to confirm what you're doing right now?
Absolutely. You don’t tel me bullshit and expect me believe you. But you don’t have to fly to my house. That’s why I asked those questions to see how far your “OBE/NDE/RDE Body” can travel.

It’s like the ones who say a ghost bleeped a virgin who gave birth to super jew. Well, I would love to see that happen again.

OBEs is expansion of consciousness, and what is experienced after that depends on the level of awareness of the individual.
“expansion of consciousness” is mumbo jumbo but you are correct that what they experience depends on “the level of awareness” meaning what they already know or believe.

triplechoice:
It is not special powers but natural phenomena which everyone experiences in varying degrees.
Yes, people dream, daydream, and hallucinate because of the same organ.

triplechoice:
Having a strong sense of knowingness about something going on somewhere far from you that you later confirm to be true, means your consciousness has expanded to perceive things outside of your body.
More mumbo jumbo. If I ask you for an example now, you will clam up.

triplechoice:
People think if they don't experience the usual dramatic NDEs or OBEs of leaving the body, then they have not experienced it. Not true.
They leave their body just like they leave their body during dreaming. I was in Japan last night or maybe it was just a dream. Lol

triplechoice:
Scientists are confirming that everyone do have the experience, but can't consciousness recall their experiences due to psychological or biological reasons.
Scientists are confirming that people have experiences? Wow!

triplechoice:
My approach to the phenomena is mostly from a scientific point of view,so don't place me in the category of those who want to show they can demonstrate they have super powers.
And the scientific point of view indicates that it’s all in your head and you don’t exist independent of your body.

triplechoice:
Any further questions similar to the ones you asked above will be ignored.
That means your approach is not scientific. How can you ignore questions meant to shed light on the topic?

In May, Parnia led a multidisciplinary team of national and international leaders who published the first peer-reviewed consensus guidelines for the scientific study of recalled death experiences. The published guidelines end with this statement: “Although systematic studies have not been able to absolutely prove the reality or meaning of patients’ experiences and claims of awareness in relation to death, it has been impossible to disclaim them either.”

Lmao, oh yeah? It’s not impossible to disclaim you disingenuous clown. It’s all your head.

OK, sorry I have not shared any link.

The project is tagged AWARE, Awarenesses Resuscitation studies, A collaboration between top scientist from different parts of the world. Doctors ,nurses and other health practitioners in hundreds of hospitals spread across Europe are involved too. It is a massive project, not something done by an individual scientists working alone.

The first phase ,AWAERE1 started in 2014 has ended you can search for the report by doing a simple Google check with the key word, AWARE1. However, the first phrase didn't meet with much success.
.It is the second one ,AWARE11, that has raised some hope from the teasers already released.

You don't need to parody anything now until you get the full report, and also know about the strict methodology used in the study.

They are not set out to confirm any assumptions. The rigorous methods used has eliminated any form of researchers bias.

More nonsense.
The experiment should be easy. Just tell them to go to a specified room when they are in their NDE or OBE or any other nonsense state, and enumerate or describe the contents of the room.

Until then you’re NDEs, OBEs, are as real as dreams and just like dreams, it’s all in your head.
You must have missed this when you posted an earlier screenshot

PARNIA: As the heart stops and we die, the brain is flatlined and nonfunctional. However, using brain electrical monitoring, there is growing evidence that in this state (as people pass away), there are markers of activity (beta, delta, and sometimes gamma waves) that emerge for a very short period.


And this statement below from your proof is just Parnia’s unfounded opinion including “aspects of reality”, “the totality of of person’ as conscious experience”, etc. It is clear that the brain creating hallucination and illusion while his claims about “aspects of reality” at the height of bullshfit.

So, in short, it is not so much that the brain is creating these experiences as a hallucination or illusion but rather than the brain is enabling access to aspects of reality and a person’s own consciousness, including the totality of a person’s conscious experiences throughout the entirety of their lives, real and correct memories of their own interactions with others in life and the meaning of those actions, thoughts, and intentions.

The questions you're asking have their answers in what I already wrote. Please take time to read them again.

Your thoughts are still influenced by all the mumbo jumbo nonsense you have heard.

Md.
You didn’t answer any questions but make further claims about OBE happening spontaneously. When questioned about it, you claim it’s in what you wrote. If the answers were there or if you were telling the truth, those questions should be a walk in the park.
The only mumbo jumbo is your writings and posts. So your OBE,
NDE, and whatever else are all nonsense.

I have seen any evidence that Bishop Crowther said Igbos were cannibals. However, guess who he called cannibals…..?

In Africa’s Forest And Jungle, Stone narrated how Crowther, a young boy from Osogun, was captured at about 13 years by Fulani slave raiders and “on the night that he was taken prisoner, his father was killed and he had seized his bow and quiver and fought in his place until overpowered.” Crowther was then “captured and sold to the Portuguese by the slave-hunters” and sold multiply until he was purchased by Portuguese traders who intended to pawn him on the transatlantic market. In later years, specifically in 1864, he was consecrated as first Black Bishop of the Anglican Church by Charles Longley, Archbishop of Canterbury, at the Canterbury Cathedral. The part of Stone’s encounter with Crowther that relates to this piece was that after his capture and on board a Portuguese slave-ship, alongside other captives, “they were told by the captain that the English had ships out looking for black people to eat…When he saw large pieces of meat hanging from the yard-arms of the Englishman’s ship and piles of cannon balls on the deck, his terror knew no bounds; for he thought that the balls were the heads of little darkeys like himself, and that their meat had been hung up to cool before being eaten.”

It was a Yoruba Christian Called Ajayi Crowther who first felt the Great burden to Carry the Light of the Gospel of Christ into the Heart of Darkness called Igboland

Can you please refer me to where Crowther made these claims?

Below is brief description of current approach used in investigating NDEs. Nothing like creating fake evidence, simulation, to deceive the public
The only people deceiving the public are those selling stories about NDE and OBE experience. The “current approach” looks like nonsense or maybe your screenshot didn’t provide enough information. What types of scientists are doing these studies?

“ Emergency Department or Research
staff will be alerted to cardiac arrest and
will attend with portable brain oxygen
monitoring devices and a tablet which
will display visual images upwards
above the patient as resuscitation is
taking place.”

Seriously?

After that fanciful activity, the whole thing still hinges on whatever fantasy the subject wants, which will be wholly dependent on what they already know or believe.

“Survivors will then be followed up and with their
consent will have in-depth, audio
recorded interviews.”

Below is an uncommon OBEs experience. I can confirm this because I was having almost the same kind of OBEs spontaneously while growing even till adulthood. Singing in the choir, and the next thing ,I am watching my body singing. Walking home, and the next I am observing my body from up below. Those experiences were the things that pushed me to investigate the phenomena everywhere; esoteric groups, sciences reading everything I could lay my hands..

I have leant a lot ,and the most important I learnt is that no group has the complete answer, science or others, but by combining all that I learnt from everywhere I have to a certain extent being able to put the different piece of the puzzle together to create a near perfect picture behind the reasons I had those experiences in the past.
Do you still have these spontaneous experiences?

Are these spontaneous experiences limited to your body’s location?

Can your “OBE body” view things that are not in your body’s vicinity?

Can your “OBE Body” travel? If yes, how far?

You don’t know the difference between faith and indoctrination.
Faith
1. complete trust or confidence in someone or something. e.g. Parents

2. strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof.
"bereaved people who have shown supreme faith" e.g. Okcornel who believes Jesus crawled out of a virgin.

Care to google the synonyms for TRUST? undecided
In the context of religion, one can define faith as "belief in God or in the doctrines or teachings of religion".[3] Religious people often think of faith as confidence based on a perceived degree of warrant,[4][5] while others who are more skeptical of religion tend to think of faith as simply belief without evidence.[6]
