Afterlife Meeting - 9th April, 2017.
Near Death Experiences and Afterlife Beliefs In Ancient and Indigenous Cultures
Some skeptics of Near Death Experiences (NDEs) suggest they are merely hallucinations emerging at the time of death, shaped by the cultural beliefs and social values of the time.
Yet some anthropologists and religious researchers have found that NDEs of ancient cultures share commonalities worldwide regardless of their beliefs, and are actually the causal inspiration
for the spiritual beliefs of these communities. In this presentation Sheryl explores the NDEs and afterlife beliefs of various ancient and indigenous cultures, where we find the very earliest records of near death experiences suggesting they are a universal "core" experience that is part of mankind's spiritual heritage.
