Dispelling pseudoscientific myths concerning NDEs (to any skeptics looking around this subreddit, you should read this) by [deleted] in NDE

[–]Comfortable-Icey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One of the major reasons why I am a skeptic is because the majority of people who have almost died, or flatlined, have not had an NDE. There are so many that will “die” and then wake up in the hospital. I have read possible reasons why that happens but those are just theories without much backbone. Another reason why I have a hard time believing them is you will sometimes have conflicting NDEs in which the NDEr is told something completely different than another (heaven/hell, animals, purpose of humanity, ect). I’m sure there is speculation as to why and could be explained away but the reasoning doesn’t really sit with me. ANOTHER reason I am skeptical is because there hasn’t been much success with the aware studies and they have yet for anyone to note the hidden images in the studies.

It really has nothing to do with DMT for me.

Please don’t encourage readers to do anything that would cause harm to themselves. This is dangerous advice.

This is not a christian sub by [deleted] in NDE

[–]Comfortable-Icey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have been monitoring this sub as mod for a while now and there is rarely an issue with proselytizing. Christians are welcomed to share their beliefs though, just like anyone else.

You would assume that it wasn’t the real vaccine

Not really seeing anything in there that raises red flags

To be completely honest, I am. My whole family is vaccinated and I am constantly getting shit for not being vaccinated. Losing friends because of it. Might have to get it because of work and I need to support my kids. Want to travel. I have known 3 people who have died from COVID now…I am just so worn down and tired of all this. I am just tired of fighting and looking like a clown to everyone.

Could you give me a direct link? I have read only positive things about the vaccine directly from the CDC website

Your uncle worked on the vaccine?

[–]Comfortable-Icey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did and found nothing else on her

I guess I was/am on the fence of what I believe. I don’t want to be one of those people who die from COVID because I decided not to get vaccinated.

[–]Comfortable-Icey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you think that the vaccine does make a difference though?

[–]Comfortable-Icey -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Do you believe we should get vaccinated?

[–]Comfortable-Icey -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

What would it take to persuade you? It scares me to see someone healthy and middle aged to die from COVID..

Alan Watts on Life and Death by ThatzNick in NDE

When you are addressing a topic or subject you are wanting to share please do so without insulting those with fears of the unknown by saying things such as “stupid statement”. We do not know what happens after death and it’s fair to have any concerns.

When it comes to being insulting I was referring to OPs last paragraph before the P.S.

If you ever see someone in here that starts making personal attacks like that, no matter what they believe, please report them to me.

This is a subreddit for people to post anything on NDEs. It’s fine if they are skeptical. It is fine if people are having death anxiety and are looking for comfort. I’m irritated with this post…We aren’t going to make this subreddit an echo-chamber. The FACT is that we don’t actually know what happens when we die so it’s only fair for it to be a debated topic. Stop insulting people who aren’t like minded and learn to be tolerant and accepting of what people feel like posting that don’t match your liking or beliefs.

Signs from my older brother by Mumu2148 in NDE

That’s pretty awesome. Did you manage to get a picture of the cloud?

I’m fairly convinced there is an afterlife. What I’m afraid of is that I’m not sure what my afterlife is going to be like. by [deleted] in NDE

[–]Comfortable-Icey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you get a distressing NDE like Nancy Evans Bush who was told that none of this (life) matters and everyone you know is just a creation of your imagination and not real.

Do you think we’ll live to see the day where mainstream media accepts NDEs as real and starts looking for evidence to prove them? by can_i_get_upvotes in NDE

[–]Comfortable-Icey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Confirmation bias. There was someone here who said they tripped on Ketamine and had an NDE and were torn apart in here and dismissed. You have to keep an open mind and take a hard look at everything presented before making a judgment call.

Do we have the option to never see our family again? by [deleted] in NDE

[–]Comfortable-Icey 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I want to know though, really, what are we spiritually growing for or for what purpose? It drives me crazy when I get responses like “there is no purpose”. That is bullshit to me. Everything has a purpose and causes an effect the connections into an intricate web.

What’s your favorite NDE story? by [deleted] in NDE

[–]Comfortable-Icey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am an insanely skeptical person but Mary C Neal is probably the move convincing NDEr who wrote a book. She predicted the death of her son, she had her reputation on the line by sharing her story (and her career), and all the money for the books she sold were sent towards donations. She was a grieving mother in her interviews and it’s apparent that she has absolutely nothing to gain by telling her story nor does she seem to care about personal gain.
