濒死体验与死后生活

People who were once near death have sometimes reported various mystical experiences (such as going into a tunnel and emerging in a light, being reunited with loved ones, a sense of peace, etc.) that may suggest an existence beyond the grave. While such experiences are profound, no one has returned with proof or verifiable information from "beyond the grave." Skeptics suggest that the experiences are explainable as natural and predictable hallucinations of a traumatized brain, yet there is no way to know with certainty what causes near-death experiences, or if they truly are visions of "the other side."

曾经濒临死亡的人有时会宣称自己有各式各样的神奇体验（比如进入一条隧道、出现在光之中、与亲爱的人重聚、获得一种平静感，如此等等），这样的体验也许暗示着人死后有知。但是，尽管这些体验让人刻骨铭心，但却没有人从“坟墓那边”带回过什么证据或是可资验证的信息。怀疑论者的看法是，濒死体验可以解释，但是是受损大脑可以预期的自然幻觉。然而，我们还是不能确切知道濒临体验的来由，也无法知道它们是否真的是“那边”的景象。
