Pam Reynold's Near Death Experience

[@chillyq4341]

I remember having an out-of-body experience, except that I wasn't dead. It happened in the middle of the night. I felt myself floating in the air and saw my body still lying in bed, diagonally across the room. Strangely, I felt that I wasn't alone. Slowly, I floated back into my body, and I became aware of how I was lying in bed. Surprisingly, I just continued sleeping (or maybe I was too afraid to get up). I used to experience a lot of spiritual attacks at night. It got so intense at one point that I became too afraid to sleep. However, after I became a Christian, the attacks have decreased significantly, to the point where they’re almost nonexistent. Praise & thank God!

[@Nicolea9000]

This case of near death experience throws the usual skepticism out the window. You can't argue "well, it was just a self induced drug trip by a stressed brain." No. There were no brain waves, no synaptic chemical reactions. Nothing that would make it possible for the brain to impose that image upon itself.

[@rafaelfreitas8477]

The thing is, it's important to be skeptical but when cases like these appear and there is no explanation you can't just say that it is false and imagination.

[@sarahs2288]

The skeptic would and does argue that it happened as she was dying and her brain was still functioning. Doesn’t explain how she could have possibly observed everything that was happening during the surgery.

[@tim59ism]

@@sarahs2288 Her brainwaves (EEG) were already flattened by the drug she was administered, Sarah, thiopental barbiturate in massive quantities. There is no way she could have seen or heard anything, let alone remember it.

[@Dr.mandril]

@@sarahs2288 There is no physical explantion for this. Not only had she no brainwaves at all but she was wearing headphones and her eyes was taped shut so she couldint hear nor see.

[@elliottfireice4394]

​@jeanbison7435 The obvious explanation is consciousness is fundamental in the universe and is definitely more than the brain 🧠

[@IbnShahid]

I’ve been an atheist for many years. I THOUGHT I was totally subscribed to the materialist view of existence. But I find it impossible to casually reject and dismiss the accounts of NDE experiencers, especially as so many have nothing to gain by telling us all what happened to them. (Quite the opposite in some cases). There is something other-worldly going on here which all our advanced, materialist science simply can’t explain.

[@Google_Censored_Commenter]

You don't need to reject or dismiss them as an atheist, people make up fictions in their mind all the time. How is this news to you as a supposed atheist? The religious do that all the time. You don't seem genuine to me.

[@dushyantthakur5499]

The answer to your confusion lies in the ancient scriptures, one of the Organisation - ISKCON answers this very boldly on this, that we are souls encaged in two, not one, body. The first body is our subtle body, containing mind, intelligence and ego. The second body is the gross visible material body. I recommend you to hear and read the books of Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, you come to know many things unknown to us like Who is God, how He looks, why we die, what happen after death, why we are unhappy.

@@Google_Censored_Commenteryou can’t simply dismiss the veridical aspects of her NDE . To think that the mind made up a hallucination which accurately predicted everything she accurately saw in her NDE is emotional denialism at its finest .

I just found out today that Pam Reynolds died recently, like within the last week or so. She was 53years old. Kinda weird now to watch this and think to yourself, I wonder what she's doing today, how she's living her life etc and find out shes gone. Im glad she told her story and had an extra 19 or so years before going on to that light for good.

...cont In addition - Most importantly: the doctors & the surgical team have stated that they DID say the things she accurately recounted of their conversation & as well she accurately described the surgery, the surgical tools she had never seen before (& had not been shown to her), the sounds of the surgery. Before & after the surgery the anesthetic would have made any meaningful conscious experience literally impossible as well. Best wishes

[@dinomatvij833]

One of the strongest proofs!

[@KTK401]

You have to have been clinically dead to have had an identical experience to Pam's. It may have had similarities, but it wasn't the same thing. You were alive and your brain was fully functioning when the ketamine acted on it. Pam had no brain activity whatsoever and her cortex was off. Also what she experience doesn't fit the description of a hallucination as hallucinations are random, hers was a very cogent experience. Her brain was completely shut down during it as well. Best wishes.

people dream, but not everyone dreams the same thing, and we know the difference between a dream when we awake. with these experiences, they are very similar epecially with people reporting "THE LIGHT" and it is "LIFE CHANGING" and no-one believes it was just in their head, but was objectively real. That is extraordinary since considering that all our brains are different you wouldn't expect such.

I also felt that warm sensation, which would've been odd considering I was in a cool pool.

Well, maybe it makes more sense to you that way as you may not like the conclusions drawn it if were the alternative.... It cannot have happened "while she was waking up" because she would have been recovering from a severe vascular event (literally being killed - blood being drained from her brain) and the effect of the anesthetic would still have been very very severe. cont...

[@elliottfireice4394]

To me this proves beyond any reasonable doubt that consciousness is fundamental in the universe. Also the description of God interests me. God and religion is a belief. The belief we have is made in the brain. She was told about God in death, therefore independent of any belief system. I am convinced now there is more

What if this experience can only occur as long as the Brain remains in the body? What if all the people that have been buried or cremated lost the ability to be conscious after Death? What if there's a part of the brain that NEVER dies? And scientists (after so many years) have been tossing the brain out, rendering it useless after one has been dead.

[@soldier4prophesy]

Dustin Zilbauer the instruments weren't described to her prior to the surgery and neither was the conversation she correctly recalled

[@DustinZilbauer35]

soldier4prophesy Do you really think that a neurosurgeon is going to stop a person's heart, shut down all of the neurological functions, drain all of the blood out of their body and not explain the procedure to the patient? That's what physicians do. Patients have to sign all kinds of forms prior to the procedure as well. Moreover, even if a doctor didn't explain this to me, you'd better believe that I'd research it myself before I underwent a surgery like this, especially one I may not wake up from. Don't be so gullible.

How come in this account of her NDE, she doesn't talk about hearing the vascular surgeon talking to the brain surgeon? In another, later report, Pam reports that she heard the vascular surgeon say that her artery was too small. The surgeon then said to the vascular surgeon to try the other side.

What I've been thinking a lot lately is about the actual brain. If it's dead, how can it be that people come back and remember everything? I thought memories were stored in a part of the brain. That part of the brain is dead during all of these NDE's. How can a person be resuscitated and have memory of what happened AFTER the brain died. And if consciousness really does exist after death, shouldn't we stop cremating bodies and be preserving the brain from rotting underground?

The thing is, there is no way to know at what point during her experience these memories came from, they may have come before she was actually "dead" or while she was waking up which makes more sense to me.

[@elliottfireice4394]

The problem with this explanation of her see all this either before or after is the verifiable aspects of her out of body experience. This tells you when it happened. She also said in another interview she saw herself being defibrillated.

[@chrisswildlife7166]

Guys, not all of these evidences can be fake. Atheists just ignore a bit too much sometimes, just saying. She couldn’t have just been imagining, and if she would just have been imagining, why would she be imagining exactly about death? So many things like these have happened and not all could have just been fake. Life and afterlife is a big thing, it’s not like little everything things.

[@CCP-Dissident]

I'm skeptical about NDEs because they can be fake but this seems real

[@Kopyrda]

Interesting, but her brain wasn't dead during OOBE. Go to Google graphics and type "Pam Reynolds timeline". According to book "Light & Death" from Michael Sabom the events in the operating room that Reynolds recalled (the surgeon using a drill on her skull and a female voice saying her veins are too small) happened BEFORE the standstill. The entire first part of the NDE happened BEFORE the standstill. Second part of the NDE happened during and/or AFTER the standstill.

The heavenly light seen on Sunday, August 22nd 2017, at 14.30, in a service in the church Óháði söfnuðurinn in Reykjavík Iceland. I have seen and felt the heavenly light energy from God through my fifth eye through my third eye. Big white bright shining light to me sending gold folding on the edges towards me from the other side and through a hole. Like two worlds. Gold moving like small lines and brighting movements going one. I did see this with my eyes closed for two minutes - within made me feel so much loved and cared for, safe and expanded my soul and spirit within - time: the two minutes passed like this and still going on the gold flooding from the other side to us. At our side the wall was black endlessly to all sides. My side black and the hole opened and stating sending this light energy. This happened in church when the priest was starting to pray for some people and also for my family. The preast Petur Thorsteinsso was sitting on he floor and four people lying on the floor forming a cross from him. He praised about ten minutes. The light was brighting too like it was a life. I got scared a little after the two minutes and then opened my eyes to see if the light would be there again when I closed them. It was gone but inside me a big changing happened got stronger then ever and not afraid of dying at all. Still today January 28th 2019 I am feeling it in me, Knowing the truth of our life and about heaven and God. Why me? Why God chose me is probably because of my difficult life during this time. My life change a lot since this happened to me to the better. Since this I have been full filled in life. My spirt change enormously. Deep within us we are just not alone and together on a journey here on Planet Earth. Love your knowledge more, believe in God and connect and you will hopefully find the heavenly light too in you.

There are some points you need to realize when studying the case of Pam Reynolds: 1) When Reynolds heard someone say that her arteries were too small, she wasn't entirely hooked up to the hart-lung machine. At that time she was only under general anesthesia. The anesthesia is often incomplete which makes the patient only partially unconscious and it can also cause dysphoric effects like confusion about the position within the body. This seems to point out that her supposedly "Near Death Experience" started hours before her "actual death", and if the operation had been cancelled for some reason, many of her "death" experiences would still have occurred, even though she would only have received an anesthetic. 2) An EEG is not 100% reliable. Sometimes there is activity in the brains which isn't being registered by the equipment. 3) The speakers in the ears do not stop all external sounds. People with earplugs can still hear sounds from their environment. 4) People who believe in NDE often misrepresented the exact period of Reynolds cardiac arrest. The real timeline of the operation shows that her brain was inactive for 5 to 6 minutes tops, and there is no proof that she had any experiences or memories during this exact period, but during the rest of the hour-long operation instead. Her experiences before and after her cardiac arrest could have been perceived as one cohesive experience: loss of consciousness would not necessarily have disrupted her hallucinations. Most people do not experience or remember the interruptions between being awake, dreaming and waking up again.

[@timberdome6482]

+Thrillseeker303 aka Ava. Like many so called sceptics, I'm afraid you are not in possession of the facts about this case. BTW.. ONLY.. under general anaesthesia ? :) General anaesthesia is a drug induced COMA which flattens brainwaves ( to varying degrees) .But ...in this operation, Pam was placed in the deepest anaesthetic state possible, given thiopental barbiturate infusion in sufficient quantities to establish burst suppression early in the operation, before any of her observations occurred. With burst suppression, consciousness is not possible (FACT) so it is quite IMPOSSIBLE for Pam to have been aware in any shape or form physiologically. Not only that she had 100 decibel clicking nodules in her ears (testing the integrity of her brainstem) about the sound level of a jack hammer.Her brain WAS completely inactive when she observed the bone saw and heard the conversation about her femoral arteries being too small for canulation. Pam's heart was stopped further on in the operation (standstill) for a period of one hour. These are the facts of the case as told by Dr Spetzler and suggesting that she was hallucinating is a non starter. Everything she saw and heard was correct and timed to the specific point in the operation and therefore cannot be a hallucination. I do wish "sceptics" and "commenters" in general who don't find the idea of a separating consciousness possible, would stop trying to supply the public with misinformation in order to influence the debate. Facts are facts, like it or not.
