Asked about the "light at the end of the tunnel" before you die you see …??

well I was doing homework and i was writing a philosophy essay on eschatology Zoroastrain, when I saw this link purgatory .. i click on it, and although, obviously, purgatory is a Christian / Catholic belief i began to start thinking about "light" we hear about people who have near-death experiences. of course, you learn about the philosophy of many religions, so I kept thinking … thought struck me this chance.
  if that so-called "light" is not the light of God or heaven or whatever, but instead of * drum roll *…… Renaissance?
  I do not want to cause controversy or anything, but it is an interesting thought and I was wondering if you already have thought (I'm sure you have) … and if it did, your name or whatever. I find it fascinating the idea now, but actually I am a Christian, the thought is simply intriguing. * Shrugs *

    Personally I have been very close to death, and there is no such thing as seeing the light at the end of the tunnel just before you die!

  2. Sherry says:

    Therefore, you are saying is that the light of, for example, the lights in the hospital delivery room. Is that true? This is a random thought freaky. I'm not so sure that I like, because I wanted some downtime between lives. Well, I guess there is no rest for the wicked. LOL:)
      EDIT: Well, now I have to admit that your question is freaking me out a little. OMG LOL I give one star.

  3. Take my advice, I dont need it. says:

    could be, but I believe in going to heaven … could also be that when your brain starts to shut down, your peripheral vision is reduced to first slowly and in all that you can see a small white speck in the center of your field of vision. That might seem to some tunnel vision. This happens when you pass out! Personal experience.

  4. aseptic technique says:

    In fact, if we do some medical research, we see that near-death experiences as hallucinations that are caused by oxygen deprivation to the brain. This could add a new perspective to the essay, if not yet complete.

  5. Dreamstuff Entity says:

    1. Near-death experiences are the result of a brain shutting down due to lack of oxygen.
      2. We know how to induce an artificially using ketamine.
      3. Most people see what they expect to see - therefore, people of different religions have different experiences.

    Light talk about is easily explained by the physiological processes that occur during brain death …

    It's just another channel of delivery. Be prepared for another slap on the ass!

    The light comes from God. Personally I would not call it God, but I think it's part of it.
