We interrupt this two-part blog about my VICE Post Mortem column interview to present a link to my Skeptical Inquirer article "Covert Cognition: My So-Called Near-Death Experience," which is now up.

Coma Girl
I tried to find your full account of your coma-dream (hallucinations) on your blog and Skeptic article but couldn't find it anywhere. From what little description you provide, I am certain you didn't have an actual out-of-body near-death experience. Real NDEs are not hallucinations with bizarre features like yours nor are they like lucid dreams. You briefly mention OBEs but you don't actually describe having one. You brush OBEs off by stating how they can be induced with electrical stimulation of the brain, which is partially true, however such induced OBEs are more like visual hallucinations that full autoscopic NDE-induced OBEs. Citing James Randi as one of your sources in this matter is also troubling considering his limited expertise in such matters. For a better understanding why NDEs are not hallucinations see this: http://www.near-death.com/science/hallucinations/why-ndes-are-not-hallucinations.html
ReplyDeleteYour article is more of a statement about your atheism and skepticism, which is fine; belief in God is not a requirement for having a belief in an afterlife. See this website: http://www.cfpf.org.uk/ However, you use your atheistic beliefs to dismiss people who have actually had real, transcendental out-of-body NDEs. There are many famous atheists who have had a real NDE and have acknowledged them as afterlife experiences. I am thinking of such famous atheists as A.J. Ayers and Anthony Flew - See http://www.near-death.com/religion/atheism/an-analysis-of-the-ndes-of-atheists.html
You mention Kevin Nelson's REM Sleep Study which has falsified in the Journal of Near-Death Studies by NDE experts. See http://www.nderf.org/NDERF/Research/longholdenremintrusion.pdf
You also claim that NDEs do not involve brain death which is incorrect. The Pam Reynolds case is the best example of an NDE occurring while meeting all the standards of brain death. See http://www.near-death.com/science/evidence/people-have-ndes-while-brain-dead.html
For these reasons and others, I was disappointed in your articles because you are obviously very intelligent and underwent a terrible ordeal; but it appears that the professional media skeptics have made you their "darling" NDE skeptic for all the wrong reasons. Such skeptics have not read up on the medical literature and are merely promoting their own beliefs and assumptions. I hope you will accept this constructive criticism and not delete my comment. A healthy dose of skepticism concerning NDE skepticism makes your articles fair and balanced.
Thank you very much.
Kevin Williams, B.Sc.
