What’s fascinating is that they re-live everything that they’ve done, but actually not like a movie and not based on chronology.” Lead study researcher Dr. He continued: “People on the brink of death undergo a deep, purposeful, meaningful re-evaluation of all of their life that is focused on their thoughts, their intentions and their actions toward other people. “Like, ‘Oh, there it is and it’s gone now.’ And that’s not how it is.” “When we say, ‘Life flashes past you,’ it’s almost like a movie, like, ‘Phew,’ like an asteroid,” Parnia stated. The British doctor has similar feelings about the colloquial phrase “life flashing before your eyes.” These are real experiences that occur when we die.”įor such reasons, Parnia said he dislikes the term “NDE” or “ near-death experiences,” stating that such language is stigmatizing - and too broad. “It demonstrates that these are not hallucinations, they are not illusions, they’re not delusional thought processes. “It’s a confirmation of what people have been saying for years and who unfortunately have been poo-pooed and dismissed,” Parnia told The Post.

The accounts from survivors, researchers said, are distinguishable from “hallucinations, delusions, illusions, dreams or CPR-induced consciousness.” Parnia, director of critical care and resuscitation research at NYU Langone, has long been fixated on what happens to the human brain after death. Survivors’ experiences are distinguishable from “hallucinations, delusions, illusions, dreams or CPR-induced consciousness,” according to the study. Survivors told researchers they experienced a “perception of separation from the body, observing events without pain or distress, and a meaningful evaluation of life, including of their actions, intentions and thoughts toward others,” according to the university.

“From their own perspective, their consciousness had become more lucid - and more heightened - and as part of that lucidity, they undergo an experience where they’re able to re-live” life. “People have been reporting that when they were at the brink of death or when they had gone just beyond death, when they were brought back to life again, they had this incredible experience even though they appeared to be dead or in a deep coma from the perspective of the doctors,” Parnia told The Post Wednesday. Sam Parnia said millions of people across the globe have experienced the phenomenon, known as “lucid dying.”
