...the white tiger in the room...

...nothing irritates me more than skeptics who have such big opinions on areas that they have done NO research on...

i have read over a thousand accounts of near death experiences... yes, over a thousand in the last 15 years so i have a pretty good idea of what's involved...

for those doctors out there and everyone else (oh ye of little faith) who defensively and quickly dismiss any possibility of such occurances, i suggest looking at the evidence first before making such concrete decisions...i would never pretend to know everything about politics for example because i don't...i say i don't and i really don't because it just doesn't interest me (all politicians are liars)...oops...an uneducated opinion...

there was a doctor on some near death experience program the other day on discovery or something who was 'sitting on his big intellectual high chair' and giving us all idiots the explanation, (the real) explanation of near death experiences..

"you see, when the brain goes without oxygen for some time, we begin to perceive sparks of light due to some electrical stuff through the brain's neurons, and then this also takes the shape of a tunnel that so many people report seeing"...so while it may seem that these patients are leaving their bodies, no matter how real it seems to these patients, its nothing more than a physical (yet again) explanation...

...here's why the 'physical' explanation doesn't hold up:

it doesn't explain how during these moments of death, or near death, or surgery, these patients who report leaving their bodies are able to recount every single word, action or tool that was being used on them during the time they were out of their bodies...

it doesn't explain how during these moments of death, these patients were able to come back and discuss procedures and conversations that were going on in other rooms, other levels in the hospital (with remarking accuracy by the way)

and finally, it doesn't explain how these patients, while having their nde, and upon their 'return' have reported seeing friends from their past whom they lost communication with and didn't know they were dead...after some research, they had come to learn that they were in fact dead and did 'meet' with them on the other side...

...geez, the brain is a remarkable thing when it lacks oxygen!

also, i'd like to add this scenario:


if you were in the waiting room of a hospital with say 7 other people...one at a time, each patient that was called in walked into the room, shut their door behind them and quickly ran back out yelling that there was a big white tiger in the room! They gave details too-white with black stripes, a short tail, and about 3 feet high and 5 feet long...one ear also looked to be wounded with blood on it...

...so by the time its your turn to walk into the room, all 7 people who walked in the door before you, all came running out saying the same thing "there's a white tiger in that room!", all with the same detail...

...before going into that room, would you expect to go in and see a white tiger in the room with a wounded ear, and about 3 feet tall? yes, you would...why? because 7 other people testified to the exact same thing, one at a time, without knowing each other, and probably hold different income levels, religions and are of different races...

so why, with so many people around the world who all come back and state the exact same things, do we not believe them?

oh ye of little faith...
