Scientists who monitored the brain waves and breathing patterns of a dying patient might have clues into this mystery.<\/p>\n<p>When using continuous electroencephalography (EEG) to record the brain waves of an 87-year-old epileptic man, an international team of scientists\u00a0monitored his brain activity as he suffered a heart attack and died.

The New York Times listed the book as a bestseller for five consecutive months after its 1994 publication.<\/p>\n<p>Brinkley told readers about his near-death experience in September 1975. Brinkley, 25, was home talking on the telephone with a friend when a bolt struck him through his telephone line. This threw him into a cloud of dust.<\/p>\n<p>Brinkley said that he felt his soul leaving his body after enduring extreme pain and heat. He also felt surrounded by peace and tranquility. He described feeling like he was floating in the air, watching his friends and family panic and giving him first aid. He witnessed ambulances rush to his aid and transport him to the hospital. Brinkley\u2019s soul went through a tunnel into a place of light.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1942525\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2016\/01\/15\/iStock_000025351907_Medium-1200x697.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy size-medium wp-image-1942525\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/themes\/eet\/images\/white.png\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/iStock_000025351907_Medium-600x348-1.jpg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"600\" height=\"348\"   style=\"display:none\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1942525\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/iStock_000025351907_Medium-600x348-1.jpg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"600\" height=\"348\" \/><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a> EEG shows different patterns in brain activity (brain Activity\/iStock).<\/figure>\n<p>Brinkley started to take a look back at the 25 years of his own life, noticing the smallest details. Surprisingly, he could understand the feelings of others who were affected by the incidents he was involved. Brinkley was an aggressive bully and grew up with a love for humiliating and fighting others. He felt the pain, fear and helplessness that his victims felt when he looked back at his past.<\/p>\n<p>One such memory was when Brinkley killed and shot a North Vietnamese officer in Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Brinkley experienced the same confusion as the officer when he was shot in his head. He also felt the helplessness and sadness that he couldn&#8217;t see his family again. What\u2019s more, he felt the pain the officer\u2019s family felt for years after they learned of his death. He was overcome with shame and remorse after the flashback ended. Brinkley made a complete change after returning to the mortal plane. He did all he could for others.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Near-Death Experiences Are Not Uncommon<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The term \u201cnear-death experience\u201d Raymond Moody, a psychologist and professor at University of Nevada, coined the term. Moody published his 1975 book. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Life-After-Bestselling-Investigation-Experiences\/dp\/006242890X\">Life After Life,<\/a>\u201d A book that he based his study on 100 patients who had been through the same experience. \u201cclinical death\u201d He came back to life. He spoke in his own words about their experiences with the afterlife. Many scientific studies have been done on near-death experiences since then.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fnhum.2014.00203\/full\">2014 Study<\/a> published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, researchers studied 190 near-death experiences with different characteristics, including those that occurred after non-life-threatening events such as sleep, meditation, and fainting\u2014as well as near-death experiences that occurred during coma caused by lack of oxygen, trauma, or disease.<\/p>\n<p>Several similarities were found in the near-death experiences, including seeing bright lights, the sensation of being outside of one\u2019s body, and flashes of past events. Near-death experiences are the most common. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/files\/Articles\/83395\/fnhum-08-00203-HTML\/image_m\/fnhum-08-00203-t002.jpg\">Reports by 89-93 percent<\/a> Each category had a different number of participants \u201ca feeling of peace or pleasantness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One fact that might surprise some people is that many people have had near-death experiences. In a study,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/8295976\/\">Psychiatry<\/a> in 1993 estimated that about five percent of the adult U.S. population has had a near-death experience\u2014that\u2019s 30 to 40 percent of individuals who come close to death. A 2001\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/11755611\/\">Dutch study<\/a> published in The Lancet found that of 344 patients who were successfully resuscitated after a cardiac arrest, 62 (18 percent) reported having a near-death experience.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Hong Kong Writer Shares Miraculous Near-Death Experience<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Chip Tsao, a Hong Kong writer, recounted his 1994 miraculous near-death experience in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zOI4OHuRqaU&#038;list=RDCMUC16vXVRfHGax4QSLXhMoNfQ&#038;start_radio=1\">interview<\/a> on the YouTube channel of Stephen Chan Chi-wan, the chief advisor of Commercial Radio Hong Kong.<\/p>\n<p>Tsao recalled that in 1994 when he was 36, he was taken to a hospital dying after a serious car accident. After 15 hours of emergency surgery, the doctor told him that all medical options had been exhausted and \u201cnow it\u2019s up to your willpower.\u201d As he lay dying, Tsao saw a large sea in front of him, with golden and pink lotus flowers as big as round tables floating in the sea. He also heard sutras being chanted in his ear.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5036100\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/02\/06\/Chip-Tsao.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy size-medium wp-image-5036100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/themes\/eet\/images\/white.png\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Chip-Tsao-600x400-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5036100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Chip-Tsao-600x400-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a> Hong Kong writer Chip Tsao told about his miraculous near-death experience. (Yu Gang \/The Epoch Times)<\/figure>\n<p>Tsao said the experience was very clear and real as if there was a force pushing him over, but there was also a voice inside him telling him not to cross over because he had so many unfinished undertakings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a feeling of fear, but also peace,\u201d he said. \u201cI kept asking myself. It would be comfortable to cross over. Those lotus flowers would take me to another place like a boat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The famous writer also experienced several things that even science couldn\u2019t explain.<\/p>\n<p>As he lay in the ICU, Tsao could hear his parents discussing his treatment and whether to hire a second chest doctor to join the team. He also heard his parents crying. Half a month later, Tsao was moved from ICU to a general ward. When his parents came to visit him, he told them that while he was unconscious, he heard them discussing hiring a specialist.<\/p>\n<p>His father said it was true but was surprised because they had discussed it in a hotel room away from the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow could you possibly hear it, so far away?\u201d The father asked.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3092274\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2019\/09\/23\/near-death-experience-i-a-1200x686.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy size-medium wp-image-3092274\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/themes\/eet\/images\/white.png\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/near-death-experience-i-a-600x343-1.jpg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"600\" height=\"343\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3092274\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/near-death-experience-i-a-600x343-1.jpg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"600\" height=\"343\" \/><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a> (Illustration \u2013 Shutterstock)<\/figure>\n<p>Yet Tsao was assured that he was not hallucinating since he heard the conversation clearly and could even repeat it.<\/p>\n<p>Another miraculous event was that when Tsao was in ICU, his friends came to visit him. The next day, Tao saw these friends visit him again, wearing the same clothes and speaking the same words. Tao felt very strange. After inquiring, he learned that he foresaw his friends visiting him the next day in his near-death experience.<\/p>\n<p>These experiences gave Tsao a deeper understanding of the meaning of life and death.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving seen things in the future and left this space, there should be another place for people after death,\u201d he said. Later in his life, Tsao had two more brushes with death, which gave him a new view on life, space-time, and afterlives. His experience also made him believe that there is a higher force above mankind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To humans, death has been mysterious since infancy.
