...death experience, just the total blankness of a deep sleep. I believe NDEs are caused by malfunctions of consciousness arising from an oxygen-starved brain. The forms NDEs take are influenced by culture and by religious beliefs. I don't think any non-Christian, for example, would see a tunnel lit by brilliant white light and a Christ-like figure in a white robe. George Varghese, Nairne, South Australia...
...nature of real estate that the crumbling may continue for a while yet. "It's way too premature to be talking about light at the end of the tunnel--it's still pitch black," says Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, a research firm.

We heard that again and again and I think any Vietnam veteran or person of my age from that era will tell you that it's very similar. False hope...
...goes into all-out defense. Torrents of neurotransmitters are randomly generated, releasing countless fragmentary images and feelings from the memory-storing temporal lobes. Perhaps the life review is the brain frantically scanning its memory banks for a way out of this crisis. The images of a bright light and tunnel could be due to impairment at the rear and sides of the brain respectively, while the euphoria may be a neurochemical anti-panic mechanism triggered by extreme danger...
