Near death experiences are personal experiences in situations of physical death and return to life. A early describer of respective phenomena was Raymond Moody. In his 1981 book "life after life" Moody assembled a list of characteristics common to near death experiences. These include: an overwhelming feeling of peace and well-being, including freedom from pain; the impression of being located outside one's physical body; floating or drifting through darkness, sometimes described as a tunnel; becoming aware of a golden light; encountering and perhaps communicating with a "being of light"; having a rapid succession of visual images of one's past; experiencing another world of much beauty.[1]
Near death experiences suggest an existence of the human being after the death of the physical body. This contradicts a reductionistic view of the human being.
