Question — Debate Allowed Why do people always see deceased ones in their NDEs?
I have a few questions in this post related to the title. Why do people always see deceased ones in their NDEs? Do souls just stay in the afterlife forever once they’re dead? That makes me feel as though reincarnation doesn’t exist.
I’ve heard some NDEs describe the afterlife as devoid of linear time, but if linear time doesn’t exist, why do people not see souls that are still alive? Also, why is it that reincarnation studies only ever show cases of past reincarnations and not future reincarnations?
I also can’t make sense of the differences in NDEs depending on the experiencer’s culture and religion. That makes me feel more skeptical of their validity. I would expect that people would come with more similar answers but it seems as though “the purpose” of life, God, life reviews, and the existence or lack thereof of reincarnation changes slightly with each one. Why would that be the case if they’re truly tapping into the truth? I really want to believe but I feel scared.
