Doctors pronounce them dead but they come back to life sometime after a CPR other times under different circumstances so dead is not always dead.

Quote:I confess to not having read Ms Atwater's book. I've read a synopsis of it, however, and it seems to be a collection of anecdotes. Anecdotes are not evidence. On the other hand, I have read some of Moody's work regarding NDEs and OBEs and I find it remarkably unconvincing.
You wouldn't be convinced even if you see the real evidence.
That is what the dogma do to people.
It is like going around with the blinkers on the eyes.
Quote:With all due respect, I don't give a rat's char-broiled arse about your yoga philosophy, except to this extent: If you believe that yoga exercises are good for you, you're probably right. But when you adopt yoga (or anything else) as a philosophy, you're that much more apt to seek out things that agree with what you already believe, without doing all that messy critical thinking that's supposed to take place.
In yoga meditation you do not think otherwise you can not do any meditation.
Again you show that you float in the dogma by judging things which you haven't got a clue about.
Quote:*chuckle* When damage to the brain (from injury, disease, or something else) results in impaired memory, it isn't in the least dogmatic to decide that memory is a brain function. Couple this with the established fact that specific areas of the brain affect and control memory and we're left with the position that to DENY that memory is a brain function is intellectually perverse.
You again fall in a terrible confusion.
When you say.......... memory is clearly a brain function.........i say to you that you fall in the dogma not because you say that the memory is a brain function but because you say CLEARLY as to say that only with the brain you can have a memory.
Thousand of NDE experience have demonstrated that you can remember things that you have perceived when your brain was off and this demonstrated that memory is not exclusive a brain function.
Capish?

Quote:On the contrary, science accepts built-in limits. It's woo-woos like yourself who want to chuck science, decide you don't need it, and insist that any fuzzy-headed notion that makes you feel good deserves to be legitimately placed on an equal footing with the work of men and women who are actually figuring out how the universe works.
Did anybody told you that enrico does not need physical science?

As far as i know enrico only said ............give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's.
Any idea what this means?
