Essentially the article is propaganda for the religion of New Age. Beware.

I appreciate the warning. However, this kind of stuff has been around for ages. I, myself, have had three near-death experiences and the visions and sensations were very vivid and real. Still, I don't rule out brain physiology and natural chemical secretions, along with conditioned thought processes, as the cause. In this article, a couple of the recited experiences seemed more than just coincidence and that was my comment.

On other occassions I have experienced things that seem a direct answer to prayer, answers from "out of nowhere" which couldn't have been anticipated. Coincidence? Maybe.

Near death experiences may be biochemical and/or considered a grace from God. I have no problem with them, and many of my patients admit to having these things occur to them, and are better people for it. However, some people who have had such experiences brought back teaching other than Christianity, so discernment must exist before accepting them. After all, the devil can appear as an angel of light also. You need to discern what some people write if what they claim is true, or imagination, or even a deception...

However, the article goes on and talks about mediums and other such things as the explanation for it. This is the part that goes against Christianity.
