Understanding Near-Death Experiences

Near-death experiences (NDEs) are characterized by various phenomena occurring when individuals are close to death, with 5 to 10 percent of the general population reportedly having them. These experiences often involve a sensation of leaving the body, moving through a tunnel, and encountering a light, alongside feelings of love and joy. Significantly, individuals may reflect on their lives from a moral standpoint, evaluating how their actions impacted others rather than focusing on how others treated them. Overall, NDEs are not uniform, but share recurring themes that provide insight into the human experience at the brink of death.
