Doctors and Psychologists seem to think what they declare as gospel truth is final.Evidence collected by them alone is correct,not description by those who underwent the experience.
By the way , have these gentlemen defined ‘Mind”?
Is it the Brain or the activity of the Brain?
Are you aware of Brain because of its activity or the activity because of brain?
Indian Philosophy classifies Mind as an organ just like other sense organs like eyes,nose,ear,mouth,body.
These are the organs endowed with the functions(functions are different from organs-you may have organs, but no function,as in a deaf),seeing,smelling,hearing,tasting,and tactile sensations.
Activity of the brain is Mind;activity of mind is intellect;intellect is guided by Chiththa(modifications of the mind)
Brain is like a CPU,collects information,mind sifts them category wise,intellect discerns action to be taken and chiththa watches all
In near Death experiences, Chiththa cuts through brain,mind and intellect and experiences directly.
Straight perception by Chiththa is grasping knowledge unfetterd by prejudices.
It is experience, pure and simple.
Near Death experiences can not be wished away by offering high sounding pseudo scientific non sense.
Those interested in the subject may refer Rev.Leadbeaters book on this and also works published by Theosophical Society of India.These works contain proofs as well as photographs taken at the time of life or soul leaving the body.
Story:
For Laura Geraghty, April 1, 2009, started out just as any other day. It was sunny but cool, she remembers.
Laura Geraghty was shocked 21 times before she came back from cardiac arrest with tales of the afterlife.
The mother of two, also a grandmother, was at her job, driving a school bus for the Newton Public School District in suburban Boston, Massachusetts.
Her passengers, special-needs children, were wheelchair-bound.
Seemingly in good health and in good spirits, Geraghty was finishing up her late-morning run, transporting a student and teacher back to Newton South High School, when she realized she was in trouble.
As she was pulling into the school parking lot, she began having sharp stomach pains. She was able to park her bus, but she kept feeling worse.
The pain “went right up my arm and into my chest, and I said, ‘Uh-oh, I’m having a heart attack,’ ” she said.
The teacher ran from the bus to get help. Newton South’s nurse, Gail Kramer, and CPR instructor Michelle Coppola arrived moments later with the school’s new automated external defibrillator.
Geraghty, barely conscious, was fading fast. She was weak and having trouble breathing. And then she went into full cardiac arrest.
“Her eyes were wide, and all of a sudden she stopped talking to us,” Coppola said. “I grabbed the two pads, stuck them on her, started it up, and I’d say within 20 seconds, she had her first shock.”
Coppola and Kramer performed CPR while they waited for paramedics. See an expert give a quick lesson in CPR »
At that point, Geraghty says, her body died. She remembers watching the scene unfold — as if from above.
“I floated right out of my body. My body was here, and I just floated away. I looked back at it once, and it was there.”
Geraghty says she saw deceased loved ones, her mother and her ex-husband.
