Posted 2000.10.27 The Jerusalem Post 2000.10.25, p. 6 – "The first scientific study of ‘near-death’ experiences has found new evidence to suggest that consciousness or ‘ the soul’ can continue to exist after the brain has ceased to function… [Despite skepticism,] The new study concludes, however, that a number of people have almost certainly had these expeiences after they were pronounced clinically dead…
"’These people were having these experiences when we wouldn’t expect them to happen, when the brain shouldn’t be able to sustain lucid processes or allow them to form memories that would last…’
"’So it might hold an answer to the question of whether mind or consciousness is actually produced by the brain or whether the brain is a kind of intermediary for the mind, which exists independently.’
"’If the mind and brain can be independent, then that raises questions about the continuation of consciousness after death. It also raises the question about a spiritual component to humans…”
Long-time readers will recall that I’ve always likened the brain, especially the subconscious, to an interface between the non-dimensional (non-physical, beyond the universe; popularly 'spiritual') and physical realms, sort of a mortal transceiver in our avatar-body, a combination up-link and down-link with the Creator-Singularity – a connection most folks don’t grasp and don't know exists, much less how to use it (see Mi•shᵊl•eiꞋ ShᵊlomꞋoh 28.9).
