Have you read it? He's a neurosurgeon whose brain went completely nonfunctional due to a bizarre meningeal infection, while "he" went to another whole world, similar to many others' near-death experiences. He writes from a position of expertise on both the brain and near-death experience, which is great. Here's a lovely quote from him:<br /><br />"True thought is not the brain's affair."Kenna Jnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30912075.post-40654694652074092742013-05-03T04:52:39.989+01:002013-05-03T04:52:39.989+01:00That's a nice bit of writing.

After it does it, if there are scientists left to debate it, they will come up with theories as to why whatever happened was in fact inevitable and that the thinking before was naive and nobody thinks that now.

By definition of what is science (and what is not), it shrinks the prespective and what that perspective is about. (the "object" and its relationship with the "subject)- So, science knowledge while valueable is by necessity limited, partial. It can not tell the whole story, much less the truth. It is still to concern with certanity (and truth is fluid not necessarily "certain"). So, what we get from science is what it can give us at a given moment. The big questions and the good answers are not to be found in the science raum! Even though, it can very well point at the limits and connections with other kinds of knowledge and when it does that then science is fascinating!<br />Cheers,<br />NicMagic Dragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03058470485175140238noreply@blogger.com
