The digression into mysticism in this thread is weird. Finding a physical correlate of NDEs reinforces the materialist view, which is basically the null hypothesis for "sceptics". Everyone who didn't already believe in an immaterial soul can calm down.
- akomtu 4y agoWhat is "materiality"? Electrons guided by magnetic field that form one universal wave function? In that case even the hardcore materialists are fundamentally in agreement with mysticism.
- andrewflnr 4y agoNo they aren't, despite the superficial similarity, and I think you know it. At best you haven't actually thought about the difference between a measurable field defined by math and a mystical "field" ultimately defined by feelings.
- akomtu 4y ago"Mysticism" is a belief that everything and everyone are different manifestations of the one (law, origin, something that's beyond words and imagination). Science is a belief that there is one universal law of nature and that everything is its different manifestations.
