“As a result of a life-threatening situation due to an accident or illness or during an operation, someone can experience a Near Death Experience (NDE). Although the NDE phenomenon is very old, it has only gained more scientific recognition in recent decades. This is mainly due to the research of the Dutch cardiologist Pim van Lommel. He conducted a thorough scientific study on 344 patients who suffered cardiac arrest in the hospital. Of these, 62 turned out to have had an NDE. The findings of his research are recorded in the book, “Endless Consciousness.” and included in the renowned medical journal “The Lancet”. According to Van Lommel, the reactions of the environment to a near-death experience are often incredulous and critical. Many people therefore feel burdened to talk about their experience.”
