Near death experiences showing another realm of the reality.
How is "another realm of reality" shown throughout history? That would strike me as a MAXIMAL NDE concept, not a minimal one...

One can cobble together the idea that when the ancients talked of entering the land of the dead through incubation (see Peter Kingsley) that what was actually happening was similar to the OBE. In Kingsley's book, "The Dark Places of Wisdom" he is basically piecing together a history to show that the ancients used incubation to bring back higher knowledge that then aided in the further development of civilization through more refined laws, etc.How is "another realm of reality" shown throughout history?

In the story of Ur, for example, but I would no longer be discussed.
Are you talking about the Myth of Er, a literary tale taken from pre-existing sources for didactic purposes in Plato's Republic?
Dr Greyson got back to me today. He said the proposal is very old (at least a couple of years), and that Parnia wrote it while applying for one of the Templeton Foundation 'Immortality Project' grants. He said Parnia was trying not to sound too anti-materialistic. It worked. It was the only project funded by Templeton dealing directly with survival evidence. So take that for what it's worth.I just e-mailed Bruce Greyson about the AWARE II proposal. I got an automated response that he'll be out of the office until November 10th. I'll let you know if I find out anything interesting.
