The Stories Physicians Near Princeton, Givatayim Were Afraid to Tell
The phenomenon of "meeting point" NDEs — in which the experiencer encounters a boundary, border, or point of no return and is told or chooses to come back — is one of the most consistently reported features of the near-death experience. Experiencers describe this boundary in various forms: a fence, a river, a bridge, a gate, a line of light. On the other side, they perceive a realm of extraordinary beauty, peace, and welcome. They are either told that their time has not come and they must return, or they choose to return for the sake of loved ones — often with great reluctance. For physicians in Princeton, Givatayim who have heard patients describe this meeting point with absolute conviction, the experience raises questions about the nature of death that are both scientifically fascinating and deeply human. Physicians' Untold Stories honors these questions without pretending to have all the answers.
