Elizabeth Kubler-Ross wrote the book On Life After Death to give her findings on what happens when a person dies. Over the course of 20 years, she found that no matter age, sex, religion, or culture, everyone spoke of the same things happening upon death. The insights and revelations that Kubler-Ross talks about will give a minister help when they speak with someone who is dying or has had a near-death experience.

Most people who have a near-death experience (NDE) say that the experience convinced them that they will survive death. People who have not had such an experience, however, may not share this conviction. Although all features of NDEs, when looked at alone, might be explained in ways other than survival, there are three features in particular that we believe suggest the possibility of survival, especially when they all occur in the same experience. These features are: enhanced mental processes at a time when physiological functioning is seriously impaired; the experience of being out of the body and viewing events going on around it as from a position above; and the awareness of remote events not accessible to the person's ordinary senses. We briefly report one such case, and we also briefly describe two additional such cases in which the remote events apparently seen were verified by other persons.

Near Death Experience

This chapter provides a third example of an enabling frame based on an intense belief in dying as a transition to some form of afterlife. An intense mystical experience can provide the catalyst for a profound realization that death is not the end of life but a transition into another form of being. Confidence in this belief reduces a person’s fear of death, and regular contact with markers of finitude further strengthens this understanding and reinforces a sense of connection to death as a gateway to the afterlife. This, then, leads on to a discussion of philosophical positions, both pro and anti, regarding life after death and its relationship to what is happening when a person has a near-death experience.

Near Death Experience

The scientific study of near-death experience (NDE) teaches that NDE does not entail evidence for life after death, but a study of NDE from an African perspective implies that NDE could serve as a yardstick which supports African traditional beliefs concerning death and resurrection. Using references from Ancient-Egyptian afterlife beliefs and those of the Yorubas of Nigeria, I argue that, for Africans, the percipients of NDE did not only come close to death but are regarded as having truly died. The purpose of this research is to initiate an African debate on the subject and to provide background-knowledge about NDE in Africa for counsellors who counsel NDE percipients that are Africans.

Near Death Experience

Invoking the styling of classic spy stories, this essay provides an account of a commercial aviation emergency landing that blew the agent/author's “cover” as a full participant ethnographer. Using an experimental autoethnographic format, the piece offers an evocative portrayal of a perceived near-death experience and its aftermath, as well as critical commentary on writing autoethnography with a fictionalized framing. In the closing “debrief,” the author sheds her agent persona to describe the process of writing about traumatic events and to analyze how those events focus attention on methodological and ethical considerations for qualitative research.

Near Death Experience

Some people consider death events to be the ending part of life, so they regard death as a frightening event. This study aims to describe the near-death experience of the Javanese elderly in Rejosari Village, Gondangrejo District, Karanganyar Regency. The theoretical framework used is near-death experience according to Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. The study was conducted using qualitative methods with a phenomenological approach. Data collecting techniques are carried out by in-depth interviews, observations, and library studies. The results showed that the five Javanese elderly studied underwent all stages of the theory of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross but the sequence was different. Four of the five research subjects already had an attitude of acceptance caused by a weak physical condition due to various decreases in the function of their organs.AbstrakSebagian orang menganggap peristiwa kematian merupakan bagian akhir dari kehidupan, sehingga mereka menganggap kematian sebagai peristiwa yang menakutkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan pengalaman menjelang kematian lansia Jawa di Kalurahan Rejosari Kecamatan Gondangrejo Kabupaten Karanganyar. Kerangka teori yang dipakai adalah pengalaman menjelang kematian menurut Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. Penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan fenomenologis. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan wawancara mendalam, observasi, dan studi kepustakaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa lima lansia Jawa yang diteliti mengalami semua tahapan dari teori Elisabeth Kübler-Ross tetapi urutannya berbeda. Empat dari lima subyek penelitian sudah memiliki sikap penerimaan yang disebabkan oleh kondisi fisik yang lemah karena berbagai penurunan fungsi organ tubuhnya.
