Masayuki Ohkado, Professor of linguistics at Chubu University in Aichi, Japan (also known for his parapsychological reseach) wrote this interesting article about a case of the reincarnation type (CORT) with pre-birth memories that resemble NDEs, somewhat.

Does anybody know of a good collection of veridical NDEs? I've seen several while going through nderf and iands but I was wondering if anybody has put together list solely containing verifiable NDEs or OBEs? Thanks in advance.

I was pleasantly surprised to discover paragraphs 950-953 of Jung's Synchronicity (broken into shorter paragraphs for ease of onscreen reading):

>A woman patient, whose reliability and truthfulness I have no reason to doubt, told me that her first birth was very difficult. After thirty-four hours of fruitless labor, the doctor considered that a forceps delivery was indicted. This was carried out under light narcosis. She was badly torn and suffered great loss of blood. When the doctor, her mother, and her husband had gone, and everything was cleared up, the nurse wanted to eat, and the patience saw her turn around and the door and ask, "Do you want anything before I got to supper?"
>
>She tried to answer, but couldn't. She had the feeling that she was sinking through the bed into a bottomless void. She saw the nurse hurry to the bedside and seize her hand in order to take her pulse. From the way she moved her fingers to and fro the patient thought it must be almost imperceptible. Yet she herself felt quite all right, and was slightly amused the nurse's alarm. She was not in the least frightened.
>
>That was the last she could remember for a long time. The next thing she was aware of was that, without feeling her body and its position, she was looking down from a point in the ceiling and could see everything going on in the room below her: she saw herself lying in the bed, deadly pale, with closed eyes. Beside her stood the nurse. The doctor paced up and down the room excitedly, and it seemed to her that he had lost his head and didn't know what to do.
>
>Her relatives crowded to the door. her mother and her husband came in and looked at her with frightened faces. She told herself it was stupid of them to think she was going to die, for she would certainly come around again.
>
>All this time she knew that behind her was a glorious, park-like landscape shining in the brightest colors, and in particular an emerald green meadow with short grass, which sloped gently upwards beyond a wrought-iron gate leading into the park. It was spring, and little gay flowers such as she had never seen before were scattered about in the grass. The whole demesne sparkled in the sunlight, and all the colours were of an indescribable splendour. the sloping meadow was flanked on both sides by dark green trees. It gave her the impression of a clearing in the forest never yet trodden by the foot of men.

Psi Encyclopedia now has an article on "paranormal aspects of NDEs" including veridical OBEs, healing, and ADCs:

It does not include Peak in Darien experiences.

I think it's kinda stupid but I want to hear your opinions

Repeatability, predictability, falsifiability, coherency, in accord with nature
Pragmatic & practical, it works, without faith, as worship deforms its stature
It’s okay to be wrong in science, it’s self-correcting, as honesty is at its heart
Humanity, insanity & ingenuity, science our greatest invention, that and art

Doing the same exact thing over & over exactly the same, science, insanity?
Expecting same result over time & tests, what the scientific method requires
Empirical observation, hypothesis, test it, observe, repeat steps two & three
2nd opinion, unbiased apparatus & praxis, myriad tests, to gauge probability

In empiricism & rationalism, nature is always right, science relies on senses
Without the math of rationalism theory is unmeasured and nothing acquires
In science there isn’t certainty, rational theory can't be cogent, it cannot see
Randomness, harness chaos, those without logic have truly insane pretences

The map is not the territory, models are interpretations of reality, science too
Models are part of the reality they are mapping, a perfect mapping a fractal
Empiricism or rationalism, an incomplete model, they make a T.O.E. untrue
A map isn’t the territory, every method incomplete, only axiom-form tactile

True is what the case only in its reference frame, it's rationalism’s fatal flaw
What absolute truth is can’t be known, only that existence exists, must be so
Science is not about truth, it’s about fact, how it befits society & technology
Fact is the actuality of & occurrence in objective reality, according to its law

To observe mind directly requires meta-empirical science, an impossibility?
What is true must be logically coherent, as is fact, but truth is not per se fact
Fiction is opposite of fact, subjective occurrences can be true, in value & act
All in mind is fiction, some true, some approximating fact, intent will show

May truth & fact merge valid by synergy of science, philosophy, axiomatics
Systematic philosophy emergent from quale & quality synthesis, possibility
Through telepathy, by advancement in technology, engineering systematics
Science, engineering & technologies manual, advancing civilization, society

Systematic philosophy, ‘Quidinomy?’ advancing & futureproofing humanity
Quest for quiddity & axioms, maxims & axiology, to unfurl world’s mystery

They usually say that no empirical research has proven them to be true.

There is good reason to doubt that anything supernatural occurred in December 1531 at the Hill of Tepayac in Mexico. I will present two main lines of reasoning, which I believe give good reason to doubt. The first will be the shaky historicity of Juan Diego himself, and the second will be the "ordinariness" of the Tilma of Juan Diego.

The Historicity of Juan Diego

It is not clear to me that Juan Diego was a real person. It appears that I am not the only person who feels this way - even Catholic scholars doubt: including Monsignor Guillermo Schulemburg. Born in 1916, Schulemburg was appointed Abbot of the Basilica of Guadalupe, the second most visited catholic shrine in the world, by the Pope in 1963. But Schulemburg was forced to resign was he was 80 years old in 1996, following an interview published in the Catholic magazine Ixthus, in which he was quoted as saying that Juan Diego was "a symbol, not a reality", and that his canonization would be the "recognition of a cult. It is not recognition of the physical, real existence of a person." A Monsignor from the 20th Century doubting the existence of a Native Mexican Indian in the 16th Century isn’t very elucidating by itself, but the timing of Schulemburg’s doubts is pertinent. Juan Diego was beatified in 1990 and canonized in 2002, so Schulemburg was airing his concerns while the Vatican was investigating the life and miracles and such of Juan Diego. Now let’s explore the reasons why Schulemburg doubted, since Schulemburg’s doubt itself doesn’t really matter, but his reasons for doubt do.

Bishop Zummaraga, the Bishop who Juan Diego supposedly brought the Tilma to, was a real historical person. We have his writings and records of him. In fact, he wrote the first book ever published in the Western Hemisphere, Doctrina Breve, in 1539. Zummaraga himself never mentions Juan Diego, in any of his writings, despite the fact that he plays a pivotal role in the legends. Franciscan contemporaries of Zummaraga talk about a “Marian Cult” that resulted from the conquistador conquest of Tenochticlan. A Franciscan fray named Fransisco de Bustamante publicly condemned the cult of Our Lady of Guadalupe outright precisely because it was centred on a painting (allegedly said to have been painted "yesterday" by an Indian) to which miraculous powers were attributed, whereas fray [Bernardino de Sahagún](https://en.

There have been recently couple of post about similar experiences, so I'll just leave that as open question.

People who are interested in the topic of NDEs usually are aware (pun not intended) of a few pretty spectacular examples of veridical OBEs during NDE. But I was wondering, except for below, widely disputed and reaching almost urban legend proportions situations were there any other, so to say, "sleeper" NDEs? By that I mean verdicial OBEs during NDE with confirmed information obtained about the other people during them, while the information obtained was not possible to be obtained otherwise? Just to clarify, I mean "what Johny was doing in his house when I coded" information not necessarily "what colour of apron nurse was wearing while reanimating me" because, just to be careful, that information could have been obtained by physical means, nor "I know what is the purpose of Johny's life" because that information is unverifiable and thus not veridical. I know u/Sandi_T had one, and I'd be very gratefull If you would share more details about this earthly veridical part of your experience, unless thats too much invasion of your privacy - In this case, I apologise for calling you out and completely understand. If anyone else would like to chime in I'd be very grateful as well.

i’ve been searching but haven’t found anything

What is the most scientific explanation both for and against veridical NDE accounts?

I am looking for original scientific sources and not anecdotal stories only please.

Thank you for helping me compile data.

We Survive Because Reality May Be Nothing Like We Think It Is

> We live in a mental construction, he says, a sort of utilitarian fantasy, of our own devising. And it’s not a problem that it may not be a true representation of reality — in fact, it may be evolutionarily necessary. His study, “Natural selection and verdical perceptions” concludes, among other things, that “perceptual information is shaped by natural selection to reflect utility, not to depict reality.”

Natural selection and veridical perceptions [PDF]

abstract:

> Does natural selection favor veridical perceptions, those that more accurately depict the objective environment? Students of perception often claim that it does. But this claim, though influential, has not been adequately tested. Here we formalize the claim and a few alternatives. To test them, we introduce ‘‘interface games,’’ a class of evolutionary games in which perceptual strategies compete. We explore, in closed-form solutions and Monte Carlo simulations, some simpler games that assume frequency dependent selection and complete mixing in infinite populations. We find that veridical perceptions can be driven to extinction by non-veridical strategies that are tuned to utility rather than objective reality. This suggests that natural selection need not favor veridical perceptions, and that the effects of selection on sensory perception deserve further study.

The following is copy/pasted from a post I made in a forum. I intended to go back and fill in the blanks but I have not done so yet. I will post my theory in the comments.

I've had a lot of experience with Calea Ternifolia (Calea Zacatechichi) and I've had some very profound effects from it. To say this herb has changed my life would not be an overstatement.

I'm never sure where to start trying to explain this so I suppose I'll try to start at the beginning...

I was given a large quantity of Calea Z. from a coworker after we discussed lucid-dreaming and I expressed interest. He said it was somewhat useful but didn't really do much for how bad it tasted.

At first I barely noticed anything, slightly more vivid dreams and nothing in waking state. I would drink the tea and sometimes drink tea and smoke some as well, nearly every night for months I would drink this tea and then go and meditate before bed.

I started having lucid awakenings at first after about a week (once I cut my cannabis intake down) and this really excited me. I continued my Calea patter of tea/smoke and then meditation and eventually (after about two months of regular use) found myself having full lucid breakthroughs! I was flying and changing my environment factors as I went, and it would work fine up until I changed enough to startle myself awake.

I suppose I could have stopped there, but for some reason I didn't. I was really enjoying the lucid experience, and I wanted to know how far I could go with it. Eventually I went from having DILD (dream-induced lucid dreams - dreams that don't start off lucid but where you have a moment of recognition that you are in fact dreaming) to WILD (wake-induced lucid dreams - dreams wherein you slip from wakeful state to dreaming state either without dropping your stream of consciousness entirely at any point) and that was an amazing experience I have not been able to replicate since I scared myself away from using Calea Z.

Well, by now you might be wondering what I mean I scared myself away from using it. I continued using it and started to get this peculiar effect from it. I would be going about my day and suddenly be stricken with this bizarre sensation that at first was just a slowly building and then dropping sense of importance. It was weird because I could never quite put my finger on what it was at first... it would start slowly and build until it stopped abruptly. It w

Great borrower, good communication!

I just would like to know because I can’t seem to find anything online that talks about what they used. And it sucks because I really liked the sound of that string instrument!
