He does not seem to be giving proper consideration to the possibility that 'near death experiences' are always similar due to an underlying physical process which occurs in most all humans in those situations. Analogy: |

Wait, where is the evidence? I don't see it. |

Needle filled afterlife! |

I'm with thegnome54. Sure, people's experiences are similar, but I'd be more inclined to think along the lines of some kind of "last-resort" mechanism built into all human brains- with the sole function of hiding the true terror of death and working as an alternative to fear. Like how people sometimes automatically disassociate from themselves in extremely stressful situations to avoid facing it. |

Agreed. When people nearly die, they may experience similar sensations and hallucinations because we are all humans and have similar brain chemistry. Doesn't prove the existence of an afterlife. |

The burden of proof lies with the one making the claim
Goals:
10 Lucids [X]
Look at my reflection [X]
Dream sex [X] with climax [X]
"MementoMori, the lucid machine"
"There's nothing better than knowing what it's like to fly like superman. Being fully aware of the air whipping by you, controlling every movement of every single atom in your body with a single thought. It's real freedom, and there's not a word good enough to describe it, so I'll just call it dreamy for now."
What a terrible experience (the fact you came close to dying, the expanding thing sounds awesome)! |

I would like to read his book regardless. I would like to see what actual evidence he does provide if any. The book is less than $20 on Amazon so it's not much of an investment =P |
