Just curious.

have been reported for hundreds of years, I find it a bit annoying, to say the least, that modern researchers are finally discovering this topic.

or an older generation closer to death.

To be honest, however, it seems that one of the main problems in this regard, is that the philosophy of ontological materialism(i.e. humans are nothing more than biological robots, consciousness is an illusion, etc.)has taken a rather tough grip on the scientific establishment.....which has made it rather tough for those few mavericks(although increasing in number!), willing to take the plunge.

And let me tell you, the evidence that *is* out there, is simply amazing to comprehend.

Honestly, perhaps the biggest implications I've been able to gleam are, from many of the experiences I've read about.....is that none of the religions of the world necessarily have all the answers.....and that, perhaps, there may not even be a Supreme Being. It may simply be another form of existence, beyond what current science understands(remember, many scientists once believed that man couldn't fly, or that the Sun revolved around the Earth). Perhaps quantum sciences are the key?

with our limited senses. It's like the blind creatures who live in caves and can't see their environment because of the darkness of the caves, yet you can shine a light on them they can't see. That doesn't mean the light doesn't exist.
