The topic of life after death has always fascinated humanity. However, in recent years, more and more people who have experienced clinical death report nearly identical experiences: peace, light, a feeling of unconditional love, and clear consciousness outside the body.
Common Elements of Near-Death Experiences (NDEs)
People from different parts of the world and various cultures describe almost identical phenomena:
Leaving the physical body
Observing their own body from above
A sense of immense peace
Encounters with beings of light or deceased loved ones
A feeling of “returning” with new insights about life
The Scientific Perspective: Consciousness Without a Brain?
While medicine claims that the brain “shuts down” during cardiac arrest, many witnesses describe incredibly clear thoughts and realizations at that very moment. This raises the question: Is consciousness separate from the body and brain?
What Does This Mean for Spirituality?
If consciousness exists independently of the body, then death is not an end but a transformation. This supports many spiritual teachings that say this life is just one stage in an infinite process of existence.
A New Perspective on Life
People who have gone through NDEs often return with a deeper sense of purpose, forgiveness, and a changed value system. Some claim to have recognized their soul and the true reason why they are here.
