Out of Body experiences and the dying computer syndrome...

[coffeehubby]

Computer scientist at some large computer firm found when they are destroying the harddrives of their biggest computers a strange thing happens that no one can explain.The computers suddenly kick back everything in a frenzy. Medical biologist believe the human brain does the same thing when it learns it is dying....they see lots of electrical impulses act up in the portionx of the brain that stores our memories. I think it is called the "lower cortex", if I'm wrong feel free to correct me.



Perhaps this explains SOME out of body experiences, the life review and such.
It It can't explain when someone can describe in perfect detail what procedures a doctor was doing on them,or arguements among family members about a will!



Another interesting fact is certain drugs produce the exact same elements of an OBE. The sense of the experience being so "Real" is reported among these drug users and OBE,so the fact something we experience "felt so real" proves absolutely NOTHING. We need an objective SOURCE for TRUTH outside our own frames of reference....our own preconcieved ideas of things.

.

Also pilots testing the limits of human endurance have found after the extreme
g forces in these chamber they also experience a temporary OBE,and feelings of bliss. They report watching themselves outside their bodies. The doctors studying their brain found a much lower level of blood pressure to their heart that affected the lower cortex of the brain....which produces images and feelings of relaxation, as well as our memories... a survival reflex the brain kicks in under severe stress?? Something the brain really thinks is happening,but all heart monitors and so on showed the person was not dead.



Some OBE can not be explained away, but if anything you read or someone says they experience contradicts the scriptures remember their are dark forces that wish to decieve us too, as well as naturally occuring yet mysterious events.... like the images our brain kicks in when it is under tramau or assumes it's dying..



Just some random thoughts, things I think about at my boring grocery store job...WHAT DO YOU THINK?????

I don't have any special insight as to what causes an out of body experience, but I can relay something that happened to me as a child. When I was six years old I had my tonsils removed. I very clearlly remember the sensation of floating to the top of the operating room, but I was on my stomach and looking down at the doctors as they worked on me. It was very strange and I never thought too much about it until I was an adult and heard people describing very similar experiences. It seems logical that it would have been caused by the medication. But I found it interesting that it matched up with so many other accounts you hear from other people.

Also, a few years ago my brother had a severe reaction to pain medication that he was given after a hospital procedure. He has a VERY strange set of health issues that his doctors can't quite figure out. But anyway, his heart stopped beating and they almost lost him. He said that he doesn't remember any of that, but that as he recovered in ICU the best way he could describe what he went through was that it seemed that his brain was "rebooting", just like a computer.

I think the brain is a very complex and amazing creation of God.

I guess I wanted to point out that the debunkers have some truth to the fact the brain does in fact spit out lots of memories under severe shock or stress, that drugs produce some of the elements in OBE.

However, when a woman blind from birth describes procedures accurately or someone tells family members he's changing the will because he heard word for word their arguements/ what they were wearing....it can't be just a abnormal brain function.

I just found studying this interesting.

I find it all very fascinating. My grandmother just passed away in January. It was a four day process and I kept finding myself wondering what she was experiencing. We took her off life support but her tough little heart kept going. The doctors and nurses encouraged us to talk to her because they said her hearing would be the last thing to go. I just wonder if she could understand what we were saying or if it all just seemed like some strange dream. And I also wondered what that moment of passing from this world into the next was like. Since she was a strong Christian it must have been amazing. I'm getting off topic here I know. But it's all so interesting to think about. I guess we won't know for sure until we go through it ourselves.
