22. Science & NDE*
The Narratives have themes that are
unchanging over time and across cultures
Hence there is not much reason to doubt the
veracity of the accounts
Science keeps evolving and giving us new
paradigms
This helps further our understanding

Not everyone in Near-Death situations
have had NDEs
28. The trifling of life create difference but in the
higher order of things we are
ONE
29. An event that is remembered
Usually pleasant and life changing
Sometimes engenders fear
Universal
Varied explanations are offered
Science for an unified explain
I must add that there is a vast literature and much written on the topic and with the time I have I will try to summarise or help you have a better understanding and for those interested to follow it up further
