There are many fascinating & beautiful NDE tales and a common counter-argument to these being proof of an afterlife is that it's simply the brain shutting down and as part of that, releasing a rush of DMT (and/or other chemicals).
If that's true, then why? - do you suppose this process is there to ease one's last moments of anguish and fear? (and would that suggest some sort of empathy in the "design"?)
If there's nothing else after you die and it really is "game over", then why would this process exist at all? --It's not like you could care after the fact.
Thomas Edison before passing away awoke briefly from a coma and exclaimed "It is very beautiful over there!", and more famously perhaps, Steve Jobs' last words were "Oh wow! oh wow! oh wow!".
When reading things like this, i'm more inclined to think that there is an afterlife, but if i'm wrong then I guess I'll get over it quick
Thoughts, comments, and insights welcome
