i have been reading and discussing more about the NDEs of children . |

It's obviously real, I just don't think you're seeing heaven or god when you see the light, it be your brain going all dopey. |
|
If they are able to talk and draw, then I'd say that they were exposed enough to replicate results similar to those of the adults. You have some data and you have your brain going all dopey, perhaps that's why the results are what they are. |

that is a good question. but i have a few objections. the writings are most often written by the child as he/she gets older. and the drawings are done by children who are younger. some as young as three or four. they just draw what they experienced. the question is how did they get these ideas about life after death when they are not yet old enough to understand the religion they are being raised in. Some ideas that are common in adult and child NDEs are not common ideas with religion either. A lot of children said they talked with “people made out of light”. But they talked “in their heads”......while adults describe this as they talked using telepathy with “beings made out of light”. |

Why does only 12% tell of NDE's and the rest nothing? kinda makes you wonder if it's the brain with certain people then "death" itself. |

Here's my take on the situation: |
|
I very much agree with you there. And I think you worded it very well. |

I mean that the experience is being interpreted by the subject himself, that he is under the experience's influence. And therefor, his judgement of its reality is clouded and biased by how real it feels. When some one says they had an encounter with external beings (angels, Gods, deceased loved ones, etc...) during an NDE, they are describing the experience as it appeared to them. They aren't describing the experience as it occurred in terms of physiology. We may well find that the two perspectives reveal wildly different stories; that the perceived experience is not what's really going on. |

well, this brings to mind a few ideas. i dont know if they are really objections but.... yes, afterwards people interpret their experience in a way in which they feel comfortable. But many of the features are the same throughout the world and the features seem to appear in the same order. Now you could say that this is only because 95% of adults have been exposed to religion for a good portion of their lives and influences how they see and perceive things..ok.. but this brings us back to the subject at hand, NDEs of Children. These children are arriving at the same conclusions as adults but they did not possess or understand the adult knowledge that would influence their conclusions. They are un-biased. the children are being influenced by the experience itself, but its odd how when they come out of this they have ideas and insight that no 3-6 year old would normally know or have the capacity to grasp. |
