The NDE phenomenon is an event that happens in consciousness or rather is witnessed within consciousness. While the body may be going through some kind of trauma or belief altering event the NDE is experienced within the mind or consciousness. It is an experience of mind similar to what we experience in watching a riveting movie wherein we experience the movie vicariously in our mind/consciousness, with sweaty palms and increased heart rate. This being the case why is it NDE is regarded as extraordinary?
First off there is a lot of superstition and paranoia associated with so-called "death". These misleading ideas are nothing more than someone attempting to control others through fear. Death is a part of life - can't have one without the other. Therefore life and death are one. Death as an event is nothing more than a change or switch in consciousness. The body may die (because of our belief in death) but the mind and soul continue as they are not the body but the eternal I AM.
When one arises in the morning clothed in PJs and mulling over dreams and coffee one is in a specific state of mind/consciousness. As one moves into the day by changing clothes, losing focus on dreams and focusing more on puting on work clothes, the commute, contemplating the people we will soon encounter, etc. and of the coming daily activities - it could be said this person undergoes a form or level of "death" from the arising condition of mind shifting into the daily activities mind. So just as one changes clothes and mind-sets early in the morning to a completely different mind-set one could, in a sense, be considered as undergoing a death of one mind-set and a rebirth into another mind-set. So how is actual "death" as witnessed through an NDE be anything other than a shift in mind/consciousness?
