Different models have been described to explain NDEs.[5] Neuroscience research suggests that an NDE is a subjective phenomenon resulting from "disturbed bodily multisensory integration" that occurs during life-threatening events.[6]" . Wikipedia
She, like everyone else, was always intrigued and fascinated by the anecdotes of near-death experiences. The bright light, the tunnel, the peace and the sudden return to life.
Her life today was like a very slow-motion NDE. She lived looking at herself from the outside of her body, the world moving around her unresponsive body, reduced to mere reflexes to social stimuli. No intent in her actions. She watched the living world in a jail-like box seat in the life's theater that was featuring this long running show that she had no part in it.
What she felt today was a kind of perverted NDE. While most accounts of NDEs show this smooth pilgrimage-like stroll towards the light, finishing with a sudden thrust back into corporeal life, her life now was different. She'd been suddenly thrust into the after-life where she was now trapped. She had known about some negatives accounts of NDEs involving anguish and despair, but they all finished with a resolution. She was now dragging herself in a suspended state of despair that saw no end. It seems to her that others recounts of NDE felt they were still "alive" inside of a lifeless body, her sensations were clearly showing someone dead that felt trapped in a living body.
Hers was not a near-death experience. It was an all-around-death experience. There was no light. No serene stroll, no reassurances and she felt the certainty of death every single moment of her so-called life.
