SUMMARY
The ubiquitous belief that, after
death, our consciousness might persist in some discarnate form is
fueled in part by phenomena like near-death experiences (NDEs) and
deathbed visions, mystical experiences reported on the threshold
of death.
Some NDEs, called “Peak in Darien” experiences, include
visions of deceased people who are not known at the time to be dead.
Cases of this kind provide some of the most persuasive evidence
for the survival of consciousness after bodily death.
