Yes, you are the one who said that..and if you believe it to be so.....then why do you not also suspect NDE accounts?  If a brain in trouble is not to be trusted...why do you trust the experience of a brain in trouble?

"Brain in trouble says I floated out of my body."
-...........sounds legit....?
Rolleyes

Moreover, brain in trouble, it seems..from those nde accounts, does not actually have to -be- in trouble to produce the effect.  The perception of the threat is sufficient.  People who are not near death, or in any danger at all...but under extreme stress make up a disproportionate amount of nde reports.  Why do you believe the brain in trouble, Rik?  Why do you believe the brain in trouble that;s so dumb it only -thinks- it's in trouble....that can manufacture these experiences regardless?

On an even more specific scale...why do you trust your troubled brain?  Wink



More and more confusion Khem.  Panic

Hallucinations are produced by a brain in trouble and of course I do not trust them.
They come and go, they are not clear, sharp and vivid experience and they manifest when the brain is  sick but alive.
NDEs instead they manifest when the brain is off and the consciousness has already separate from the dead brain.  Lightbulb

Cut the crap. 

You, "NDEs are real".....

Me, "Yes, a real delusion, a real false perception".

And again, if your consciousness could be separate from our brains, then how come the worldwide scientific community does not decapitate humans as a control group to test that? 

We get that you like the idea of something being there, but there is nothing there. Your bullshit is no different than a kid wanting to believe Santa is real because they get real gifts. You have false sensations and those false sensations can feel real when it is just your brain fooling you.
