Re: On Death Bed
It’s hard to say. People also have out of body experiences, and see a white light, and those experiences have been explained by brain chemistry. It’s hard to separate placebo from fact. When it comes to near death experiences, spirituality, and out of body experiences, my position is that we can only explain how things happen scientifically, and it’s a matter of philosophy to try to make sense of it. You can choose to believe that it’s God and the afterlife, and that the chemistry in your brain is the mechanism by which God is making you see things, or you can choose to believe that it’s just chemistry, with no deeper meaning outside of what you choose to take away from the experience.
Ultimately, the reason for why one thinks these things happen, imo, is a choice.
is brain chemistry affected by religious beliefs and other experience of a dying person, as most of the time dying person experience and say same things on death bed, which were previously said by those died before him/ her.
