My next blog posts will continue to consider near-death experiences (nde), with reference to a book by j. steve miller entitled, near-death experiences, as evidence for the existence of god and heaven: a brief introduction in plain language, wisdom creek press, llc, 2012. jeffrey long, m.d. wrote the forward to this book. my preceding blog post identified his extensive research into nde’s coupled with that of miller. i am addressing this topic due to the growing public interest and because it considers the communion between jesus and humans, both in the present age and in the “hereafter.” are nde’s revelations given to mankind through the years and across our world to amplify the “already but not yet” relationship believers have with eternity to come through the indwelling holy spirit in our time? in my writings i have presented evidence that substantiates dualist interaction between the immaterial mind of god and of man and the material synaptic networks of the human brain. specified information encoded and transmitted within neural networks is bidirectional. we can pray to god and communicate with other people, and we can also receive communion from god via his holy spirit, which process has been extensively discussed in my books and blogs. but in more recent years we are learning about the reality of nde’s in which communion occurs between individuals in the absence of neural networks. the extensive studies of nde’s by this author and others cited are uncovering evidence of life beyond ours on earth, life in heaven blessed to be in the presence of god.
