‘Death is not an absolute state’

From Sputnik News

“The vivid mental recollections that people who survived near-death experiences typically describe are not hallucinations, as some have hypothesized, claims a new study.

“Nor are they consistent with illusions or psychedelic drug-induced experiences, but are rather a distinct cognitive process, claims the research that has expanded on the current understanding of death.

“An estimated hundreds of millions of people around the world have shared unique experiences of unexplained, lucid episodes of heightened consciousness when standing at death’s door, so to say. This is the direct result of advances in resuscitation and critical care medicine over the past century.”

The brain continues to function after heartbeat stops. The study determined “a heightened state of consciousness” following official death.

The last time I saw my father, he was in a hospital bed, watching a baseball game. His actions and written statements led me to believe: Given the opportunity, the soul prepares to separate itself from the physical body.

The referenced study does not mention actions before death, but witnessing and explaining actions after death is not in the realm of human understanding, except with improving technical devices.
