Natasha Tassell-Matamua: Close encounters with the afterlife - NZ ...


These readings are very interesting to me. Based on my religious beliefs, as a Buddhist,
I always think that death is normal, no one can escape it and everyone has to face it at
some point of their lives. I believe that if you do good things you will go to heaven in the
afterlife and if you do bad things you will go to hell in the afterlife. Some elders also told
me too that hell will be the first place to go after someone dies. The reading, Near-Death Cases Desegregating Non-Locality Disembodiment
is interesting to me because it explains near death experience as a theory and I am surprised how it can be related to science
because I have always thought about it from a religious perspective. The reading mentions
that death experiences “involve  a feeling of peace and tranquillity, a sensation of floating
through a tunnel towards a bright light while undergoing a complete life review” (952). This
reminds me of when I meditate, it is a similar feeling but I am still conscious and I know that
I am not dead. According to the reading, cardiac arrest patients are the most studied cases
with regards to near-death and out  of body experiences. I have never experienced anything
like this before but my mother did. She was one of the cardiac arrest patients who experienced
death before. She told me when she was young, she was very sick and her heart stopped
functioning when she was at a hospital. She told me it felt like a dream. She saw my uncles
were rushing into one of the patients’ rooms and when she called, nobody saw or answered
her. Then she heard my grandmother was crying and calling her name. She then saw her own
body in the patient's bed and that was all that she could remember. After I read these articles,
I understand that our near death experiences and death are just us passing from one
dimension to another.    


Question: If we really researched this topic with proper funding and the right people could
we get a better understanding on what happens to our soul when we pass?
