Out of the people you just listed, yeah. I'm not claiming to be the only person in the world who doesn't talk rubbish.
You're committing two very severe errors:
1) You assume that what someone has experienced is "real", without any form of verification
2) Further, you assume that their interpretation, assessment and memory of the experience is accurate
If you care about reality, you should hold your own experiences (and testimony of others) to higher standards. If you just assume both of the above when an extraordinary anecdote lines up with your beliefs, you are gullible.
I may well assume something.
You also assume something Rob.
You assume that a verification should be done according to some sort of physical parameters.
Actually Dr. Parnia that is an expert in mind studies went a lot further and yet he could not find
anything that confirm or deny NDEs.
The problem with you guys is that you do not yet get in your mind that to understand consciousness you must practice and nor you nor Dr. Parnia practice this form of activity therefore nor you nor Dr. Parnia will ever be able to understand and produce any verification.
Verification can be found of course but not by people that do not practice the discipline of consciousness expansion.
No way.
