What do people see when they die?Over the past few decades, countless Western scientists and medical scientists have done relevant research, and many Westerners claim that when they die, they will see tunnels of white light, God and even the Great Flood recorded in the Bible.
Our research in China in this area is not inferior to that of the West, but in contrast, Eastern culture is more taboo about death, so many research results have not seen the light of day. Today, let's take a look at the research on near-death experiences in our country.
The first person in China to conduct research on human near-death experience was Professor Feng Zhiying, director of the Department of Psychiatry of Tianjin Anding Hospital, an expert who enjoys special allowances, and his partner Professor Liu Jianxun, director of the Tianjin Biomedical Research Office. In the past few decades of their careers, in addition to their own work, psychiatric research, the two professors have also conducted in-depth research on human near-death experiences, and even conducted questionnaires on many near-death experiencers, and published many **. Let's take a look at the research results of the two professors.
As the name suggests, a near-death experience is a time when a person is condemned to death due to illness or serious injury and miraculously resurrected, recalling how they felt during the time of their death. Due to the special situation of near-death experience, scientists all over the world who study this subject can only investigate a single person, but these two professors in China conducted a questionnaire survey on more than 100 survivors of the natural disaster that occurred in the 70s, and obtained a large number of first-hand information, which is the most successful in the field of near-death experience research in the world, and no one has surpassed it so far.
Among the survivors, the more representative near-death experiences are more representative.
Case 1, 28-year-old bank clerk Xiao Wang said: "I was asleep, only to hear a loud noise, felt the ceiling fall, smashed on my chest, I tried to struggle, but I couldn't move, I wanted to shout but no matter how hard I couldn't shout, at this time, in the haze, I entered another world, only to see a man in a robe and coat appeared in front of me, he limped to me, although very close, but the appearance can not be seen clearly, the face is blurred." He took me into an unfathomable black hole, I was dark in front of me, I only felt the body, involuntarily followed him, to the end of the black hole I found that in front of me was a splendid underground palace, the man went inside to report, a moment later I heard someone inside, his name is not in the book of life and death, let him go back first. At this time, I woke up and found that I was lying on the hospital bed, and the doctors were rescuing me, until ten years later, when I was interviewed by the two professors, Xiao Wang still thought that he had entered the Netherworld that night.
Case 2, 12-year-old rural child Li, was interviewed by two professors in 1987, when Li was already an adult, in the disaster more than ten years ago, although he came back from the dead, but he was also a high paraplegic and could only lie in bed for the rest of his life. He recalled that he was 12 years old at the time, and he didn't know what ** was, and he was hit in the cervical spine by a falling beam. He said: "I felt as if I was in the morgue of the hospital, and saw many dead people and ghosts and people I didn't know, the body seemed to no longer belong to me, and the lower limbs seemed to be missing, and then it seemed to suddenly fall into the abyss, and I heard an indescribable sound, and then his brain began to involuntarily recall his life."
Case 3: A female primary school teacher who did not want to be identified was hit on the head by a falling object. "I met my deceased parents, and he smelled a strange smell, but he couldn't tell which one it was," she recalls. She is the only near-death experience in the world to have olfactory memories.
Case 4, a 23-year-old woman, Liu, has the most representative near-death experience. She said: "After being smashed, he didn't feel scared at all, but felt that his thinking was unusually clear, and his thinking speed was obviously speeding up, and the past was speeding through his mind like a slide, he first saw the scene of playing and playing with his partners in his childhood, and then saw the sweet scene when he fell in love with his husband by the lake, and then saw the scene when he was rated as a model worker because of his excellent work, and the leader gave him an award."
Case 5, 56-year-old female university teacher Cao, Teacher Cao is a staunch atheist and never believes in ghosts and gods. During the NDE, he said, "I didn't see any ghosts or gods, but I quickly saw the flashing images of my life." This kind of situation in the brain before death, ** slide, looking back on one's own life, is a very common phenomenon in the cases of near-death experiences all over the world, and it can be said that it is not a coincidence.
It is not easy to conduct such a questionnaire, Professor Feng Zhiying said: "Although more than ten years have passed since the disaster when the survey was conducted, most of the interviewees have resistance, and even some interviewees suddenly have a nervous breakdown and throw things during the interview, Professor Feng also feels very guilty, after all, doing this kind of survey is also revealing people's scars, and in Eastern culture, death is relatively taboo."
The following are the results of a survey of people with near-death experiences conducted in recent years.
Case 1, Ms. Wan from Hunan, she is the costume manager of a theater in Xiangtan City, as a person who does not believe in ghosts and gods, she said that she has entered the underworld. Once, Ms. Wan was in a coma for 3 days due to penicillin injections, and when the family and the doctor had an argument, Ms. Wan gradually became conscious in the coma. She opened her eyes and saw that there were clouds and fog all around, and she floated lightly in the clouds and mist, very comfortable, when he saw a bridge in the sky, and in front of the bridge, suddenly there was a person with an axe with a very ** expression. Ms. Wan wanted to cross the bridge, but the person refused to let her live.
Case 2, Ms. Pi from Sichuan, she is a dancer who once had a high fever of 40 degrees for 5 consecutive days, and was in a semi-coma at that time. In these 5 days, he saw a lot of people, and saw a lot of cartoons flashing in his brain, and then she suddenly felt that she was sitting up on the bed, but after she sat up, she looked back, and saw that her body was still lying on the bed in a coma, she suddenly looked back and saw something like a black hole, and felt beautiful and comfortable in an instant, and then heard a voice say, "Come here!".Come here!”。At this time, she was very hesitant, on one side was the black hole that summoned him into, and on the other hand, she saw her parents taking care of herself by the bedside, after some hesitation, she was reluctant to leave her parents, so she chose to stay, and soon after she woke up from the coma and found herself playing a hanging bottle in bed.
Through some cases, the two professors concluded that although each person's memories are different among people who have near-death experiences, they are generally nothing more than the following experiences. 1. Slide-style life review;Second, the tunnel experience, see the glowing tunnel;3. Comfortable and pleasant;Fourth, I saw my relatives who had been dead for many years;5. Consciousness is separated from the body, there is a sense of physical strangeness, and you can even see yourself lying on the hospital bed being rescued6. A sudden sense of falling, weightlessness, and the destruction of the world;7. Feeling that you are one with the universe, that time stops, that emotions are lost, and so on, .......
According to the research of the two professors, some people have only one or two of the above experiences when they have near-death experiences, and some people have multiple experiences intertwined, so how should we speculate about people's near-death experiences from a scientific point of view?First of all, the two professors believe that there is a striking convergence between the East and the West regarding the performance of near-death experiences, as we just said, looking back on one's own life, seeing light and tunnels, and seeing dead relatives, not only in the East, but also in people all over the world.
For near-death experiences and whether people have souls, in fact, scientific research has just begun, the human body, especially the human brain and spiritual world, just like the universe, is vast and complex, there are still too many things waiting for us to explore, for these we do not need to worry, with the progress of science, this mystery will be slowly solved.
