Editor’s note: onenear-death experienceHarvard neurosurgery authoritative doctor completely changed the “creator‘ view, hematerialismbecome believers in the existence of God. He had a “trip of consciousness” when he was in a coma. He explained the “travel of consciousness” he experienced from a scientific point of view, a doctor’s point of view and various corroborating evidence.near-death experience“. Heaven really exists! This is his final answer.

Tell your story from a doctor’s point of view

When it comes to near-death experiences, people’s reactions can basically be divided into three categories.The first is to believe that others have experienced a near-death experience first-hand., or sheer willingness to accept such experiences.Of course, there are alsoThe second kind of people, insist on not believing(like me before). However, it is not entirely possible to describe such people as “disbelieving”. For them, it’s purely “knowing” that consciousness is generated by the brain, and can’t accept the crazy idea of ​​conscious existence outside of the body (unless they’re just trying to comfort others out of kindness, as I did with Susannah that day).

andThe third kind of person is between the above two: Read about near-death phenomena—because the subject matter is so common; or have relatives or friends who have experienced it firsthand. It is this in-between that my story can help. But when one is willing to open up, listen to a near-death experience, and seek the opinion of a doctor or a scientist—the gatekeeper in society to judge whether something is true or not—it is often gently but firmly told that near-death phenomena are hallucinations—the brain The struggle for survival response, that’s all.

But doctors who have personally experienced it, like me, have different opinions. As I expand my thinking, I feel more and more obligated to do so.

I examine every suggestion made by my colleagues, as well as the way my early days “explained” this near-death phenomenon.

Is my experience a phenomenon created by primitive brainstem function to ease end-of-life pain? Maybe it’s like the “playing dead” strategy adopted by low-evolved mammals when there is no way out? I ruled out this possibility outright at first. Quite simply, because my experience has nothing to do with the sophisticated visual and auditory functions of the brain, and the higher-level function of the brain to receive meaning is nothing more than a product of the reptilian brain.

Is memory disorder deep in the brain’s limbic system, which is responsible for emotional reception? Equally impossible – without the functioning of the cerebral cortex, the limbic system cannot produce the clear and logical images I have experienced.

Is it possible that the hallucinatory effects are due to the many drugs administered to me? The same answer, these drugs must be received by the cerebral cortex, and without the operation of the cerebral cortex, these drugs have no room to exert their influence.

What about rapid eye movement stimulation? It’s a complication (associated with “rapid eye movement,” or REM sleep, the dream-producing stage) that natural neurotransmitters such as serotonin interact with receptors in the cerebral cortex. Sorry, REM stimulation requires the cerebral cortex to work to be possible, and I do not have this condition.

There is also a hypothetical phenomenon called “DMT dumping”. In this case, the brain is under threatening stress, and the pineal gland, which reacts, releases a substance called dimethyltryptamine (DMT). Dimethyltryptamine is similar in structure to serotonin and can cause high levels of hallucinations in patients. I have no personal experience with DMT so far, but I would not comment on the claim that DMT is highly hallucinogenic; perhaps it has something to do with our definitions of “consciousness” and “reality” why.

However, the fact that dimethyltryptamine in the brain affects (cerebral cortex) doesn’t apply to me either. So to “explain” what happened to me, “DMT dumping” doesn’t make sense like any other possible explanation, for the same reasons. LSD affects the cerebral cortex, and my cerebral cortex can’t be affected.

The last possibility, the so-called “reactivation phenomenon”, may explain my experience. This is to put together all the memories and thoughts before the cerebral cortex completely shut down. It’s like restarting the computer after the system crashes to see how much data can be saved, my brain is just trying to piece together the remaining memories.

This can happen when the cerebral cortex regains function and consciousness after a prolonged system failure (my meningitis spread). But such a sophisticated memory reorganization is really unimaginable.because i amspiritual worldWhat was experienced was so real, and not in a natural linear time fashion, I now finally know why many descriptions of the phenomena of the soul seem to be out of order, even from a mundane point of view, so unscientific. In the world above, time moves differently than it does in the human world.

In the world above, things don’t always happen one after the other. There, an instant can be an eternity, and an eternity can also be an instant. Just because time in another world works differently (by human standards) doesn’t mean everything is going to be chaotic.

Recalling all my memories during the coma, in chronological order, my connection with the world should be on the fourth and fifth nights, Susan. Regis interacted with me through consciousness, followed by the six faces that appeared at the end of the journey. In terms of time, some things in the world do happen simultaneously during my journey. You might say that all this is pure afterthought.

The more I understand the situation, the more I seek to explain what happened through the existing scientific literature, and the more I feel the lack of literature. Everything—the unbelievably clear visual phenomenon, the clear flow of thought concepts—points to the functioning of the upper regions of the brain, not the lower ones. But the upper part of my brain was no longer functioning.

The more I read the “scientific” explanations of near-death experiences, the more amazed those arguments are so obviously weak. I also started to feel annoyed that these people were just like the “me” I used to be; if someone asked me to “explain” what a near-death experience was, I would only vaguely pass it on. But the average person is not a doctor after all, and is unlikely to know these things.

But when I pieced together these unlikely details, especially after E. coli meningitis devoured my cerebral cortex and I recovered quickly and completely, I had to think hard, maybe this happened , there really is a reason for it.

In situations like this, I feel even more obligated to tell my story correctly.

I have always prided myself on keeping up with the latest medical literature and contributing what I know.

And I’m leaving this world and entering another world is news — medical news.

Now that I’m back, I’m not going to simply take everything with me. From a medical point of view, my complete recovery is an impossible phenomenon, a medical miracle.

But the real story is about where I go, and it’s my duty to tell it, not just because I’m a scientist and someone who respects the scientific method, but because I’m telling the story from the point of view of a doctor, a healer . This is a true story, and its healing effect is no less than that of medicine.

After about two years of sobriety, I visited a friend and colleague who was one of the world’s topNeuroscienceDirector of the research unit. I’ve known John (that’s not his real name) for decades, and he’s a wonderful man and a first-rate scientist.

I told John about the journey of his soul while in a coma, and he looked surprised, not by how crazy I had become, but by finally finding the answer to what he had been puzzled by for so long.

It turned out that a year ago, John’s father was nearing the end of his life after five years of illness. At that time, he was incapacitated, deranged, in great pain, and wanted to die.

“Please,” his father begged him on his deathbed, “give me some medicine, or whatever. I can’t just leave like this.”

Suddenly, my father became more awake than he had been in the past two years, as he brought up deep conversations about his life and his family. He then turned his eyes away and started talking to the air at his feet while lying on the bed. During the conversation, John discovers that his father is talking to his deceased mother (John’s grandmother), who died sixty-five years ago when John’s father was a teenager.

During John’s life, his father rarely mentioned his mother, but now he was full of joy and discussed with her vividly. John couldn’t see his grandmother, but he was sure her spirit was there, waiting to welcome his father’s spirit home.

After a few minutes, John’s father turned to look at him with a completely different look in his eyes. He was smiling and calmer than at any time in memory.

“Dad, sleep well,” John found himself blurting out the words, “let it all go, it’s alright.”

His father did. He closed his eyes, his face was very peaceful. Died shortly after.

John felt that the encounter between his father and his late grandmother was very real, but he didn’t know what to do because, as a doctor, he knew this kind of thing was “impossible”. Before the death of many demented elders, there is often a phenomenon of extraordinary clarity of mind, such as John seeing his father’s transformation (this is called “end-of-life awakening”).

For this phenomenon,NeuroscienceNo explanation was offered. Hearing my story seemed to give him a long-awaited license to believe what he saw, and to know a deep and comforting fact that the eternal soul is real in the physical world. , and the Divinity will take the soul to where the Creator is, to receive the infinite love of the Creator.
