    Help With Upcoming Interview: FREE BOOK

    I believe that their experiences are genuine, but their interpretations are flawed. We don't merge into some kind of amorphous mass and lose our identities. Nevertheless, I think that harmony and interconnectedness with the Creative Force may be possible at some level. I agree.

    No, we are not. We are separate, distinct individuals and the best survival evidence suggests that we remain as separate, distinct individuals. Oneness is nothing but religious doctrine.

    Dr. Jeffrey Long, Near-Death Experience By the Numbers |502|

    "Higher Self" and "oversoul" are mere theoretical or religious concepts. Fortunately, there isn't any evidence that such things exist. As Rivas, Dirven and Smit argue in The Self Does Not Die, there is no need for such concepts, because NDEs are personal experiences and the self that experiences...

    This is my point of view: https://www.titusrivas.nl/public/articles/read/630 In my opinion the survival evidence such as mental mediumship and reincarnation research clearly supports this position and refutes religious doctrines such as Advaita Vedanta which claim that everything is one and...

    You call my arguments nonsense, because you can't answer to them. Obviously you didn't even read the links I provided in my previous post. Your claim of shifting the goal posts and using straw man fallacies is clearly false. You can post as many quotations from NDErs as you want, but it doesn't...

    I could find NDE accounts in which the NDErs claim that they were in Hell. Does that mean that the goal of spiritual evolution is Hell? NDEs are subjective experiences. Furthermore, NDEs with the oneness experience are the minority. Moreover, those NDErs tell that their individuality is...

    I disregard it. Anonymous anecdotes on an internet forum are not evidence.

    According to thefreedictionary.com ego is: https://www.thefreedictionary.com/ego Therefore the answer to your question is: I am the ego. However, I prefer the term "self", because ego can also mean: I don't believe in "egoic self" or "real self". They are merely religious dogma. There is...

    I think this is probably the NDE account you mentioned: Death Before Dying: A Love Experience

    If this "egoic self" is annihilated, what happens to the "real self"? "Egoic self", "real self" and "oneness" are nothing but religious dogma. Moreover, survival evidence refutes these beliefs.

    In other words, it is annihilation. Transcendent oneness is nothing but religious dogma.

    No. They are children. They have brains of a child. They are not adults.

    Mod+ 266. RICK ARCHER, CAN CONSCIOUSNESS CHANGE CULTURE?

    Yes. That is a natural and healthy attitude. The doctrine of non-self is unnatural and detrimental to one's mental health.

    Dr. Bernardo Kastrup, What Split Personality Tells Us About Consciousness |461|

    Thanks for the recommendation. I just ordered that book. Although I don't believe in anthropomorphic gods, this article describes my views on this matter perfectly: The Runestone - Spring 1998 (Fire and the Fog by Stephen A. McNallen beginning on page 3). To me it seems that there are a lot of...
