I'm an Atheist so I take the boring view of death lol! I don't believe we have souls or spirits and I don't believe in any kind of afterlife either. Just when we die, that's it so we've got to make the most of this life. Different religious and philosophical ideas about potential afterlives are fascinating to learn about and discuss though, they can be very cool versions and weather or not this life affects any kind of afterlife in anyway is also an interesting topic of debate. I personally just can't subscribe to those views as I like to see evidence and proof before believing things but I understand that this sort of thing would be impossible to prove or disprove scientifically, it's just a matter of whether or not you have faith. In my case, I just believe that nothing happens, you just lose consciousness forever as that seems the most realistic to me though I'd love to be proved wrong when my time comes.

Yeah thats cool though as I said maybe when you die there is just blackness....When I gave up the Catholic faith and became Atheist as a 8 or 9 year old I had the same view for years. A turning point was when my good friend was stabbed 7 times in torso with a katana by a drug fueled psychophant (with heroin addict parents) over some petty hood fights stuff, he dropped from 80 plus kg to around 50 or 45 kg in hospital, he is fine now epic recovery but that restarted my spirituality, like maybe there is more out there... My friend says he saw stuff on the other side when he was laying there dying. I think they even had a national surgeons meeting over it like, *** is this... A miracle?
And I swear on my Dad's grave thats true!

Anyway, he took one of my older cousins ( not his son) to a military open day thing one time when he was very young, probably only four years old IIRC. Basically, they're kinds of military exhibitions. Soldiers fire guns, have equipment on display, there's challenges and events etc et al. Kind of like an Army Fete.
Anyway, he took him to see some kind of exhibit which featured a plane from WW2, and my cousin became really obsessed with it, started running his hands all over it, wanted to climb into the ****pit but wasn't allowed to obviously. So my uncle asked him what he liked about it, and he told him that he had flown that exact type of plane but had been shot down in it over the sea. Now, this apparently didn't really freak my uncle out at all at first, because kids say weird **** all the time. However, when he kept talking about it, he knew parts of the plane, their names, and some kind of weird fact about an operating procedure that my uncle still cannot explain how he possibly knew. At that point he had seemingly no interest whatsoever in airplanes or militaria whatsoever and was only four years old. He also couldn't have heard whatever that was being explained, because it was pretty much the first exhibit they had gone to upon entering the event because my younger cousin had made a bee line for it the second he saw it.
Here's what I know for sure: My uncle is prone to lies and embellishment, and I had to coax this story out of him. My older cousin also ended up becoming a paratrooper, but in later years was never able to remember that day when pressed about it.
Make of that what you will.

No, I've never tried magic mushrooms or any sort of recreational drug (besides alcohol).
As for your mate, that's an insane story! I'd personally chalk up his experiences of seeing things from the other side as hallucinations from blood loss or loss of consciousness or something like that but who knows? I'm pleased to hear that he recovered and now has one of the most badass survival stories to tell!

But no pictures drawn or whatnot.
I mean, it's explainable. Maybe they heard something on TV, maybe someone told them about it in a conversation. It's a situation of high ambiguity. But **** like this is definitely creepy.
I remain unconvinced until I hear a reasonable explanation of how consciousness survives death. With evidence. I can get down with cellular memory. I think you have to ultimately. For example how can birds, who have never been taught or shown the way, navigate halfwayway around the planet and back unless there's some kind of inborn data at work?

The cynic in me is saying that James was a young kid with an obsession with war planes and came up with the story of being a fighter pilot (a child's imagination is wild thing) and his parents saw an opportunity and decided to cash in with a book. If James were able to recall other non-war experiences from that person as well such as personal information and memories of his old family that only the pilot would've known then maybe it would be a bit more convincing. Again that's just me being pessimistic.
Supposing reincarnation were real and stories like this are true then the fascinating question to me is what links the two lives? How does the memories and experiences transfer from a dead person to an unborn one? Through a soul or spirit? If so then how is the new person selected to have the soul of the old person? Is there any time limit for reincarnation? (this case would've been about 70 odd years so what happened to the soul in those 70 years?). Fascinating to think about!

Salvador Dali, the greatest ever surrealist, was a teetotaller.

Definitely worth a play. It's cheap enough and enough looks right to take a punt. Target price around 26 bucks IMO.
This is not financial advice. I eat crayons.

Got caught on a subreddit with all nurse's discussing it once. How many of them were bedside as a person was passing away and all had similar experiences. How the person dying would talk to family members and seem happy and content. And it always happens in their final moments or hours. This included medicated and un medicated patient's. The pattern is more proof then the experience.
Then went on a Wikipedia bender. Looking at ancient civilizations and religions to see what they had to say. Many thousands of years apart and thousands of miles away from each other but had a similar and coincidental view. That we have souls, there is a afterlife and there is a judgement for your actions. Many believe in reincarnation, until you learned your lesson. Much like the Buddhist view of Nirvana.
So try not to be a **** too much or you will just keep coming back until you are not a ****. That's my opinion.
