Near death experience
Near death experiences are personal experiences in situations of physical death and return to life. An 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.
