Verification of the NDE

Many NDE’s are objectively verified, but this usually occurs at a family level, based on family information previously undisclosed. An example would be the meeting of miscarried siblings, known to a mother, but not to her child meeting the miscarried sibling during a NDE.

This occurred to Sharon M. Sharon was never told of her deceased brother who died in a miscarriage. She met both her deceased brothers in her NDE, and understood (NDE

communication is usually spiritual, not spoken) that one of the men was her miscarried brother. When asked about this, Sharon’s mother confirmed that she had a miscarried brother.83

The out of body element is often confirmed by medical staff. This is usually the patient’s observation of people and activities outside of the treatment room, which would not be known to a patient on a table or bed. It is not uncommon for a NDE patient to observe and later accurately describe persons and activities in other nearby rooms of the hospital.

Scientific studies of the NDE may be found at the iands.org website, under the “research” tab on the home page. “The Self does not Die”, is a book published by the International Association of Near Death Experiences, which examines NDE’s which are verified in some manner, such as discussed here.

To date, there have been no political or commercial motivated NDE accounts. A NDE that endorsed or criticized a ruler or politician would be suspect, likewise would be a NDE that endorsed a product or service.
