Where Science Ends and Wonder Begins in Lakeview, Kranj
The "being of light" encountered in many near-death experiences has been described with remarkable consistency across thousands of cases collected by NDERF, the University of Virginia, and other research centers. Experiencers describe this being as emanating unconditional love, complete understanding, and total acceptance. It communicates telepathically, often through a direct transmission of knowledge rather than language. It is identified by some experiencers as God, by others as Jesus, by others as a deceased relative, and by still others as an anonymous presence — but the emotional quality of the encounter is virtually identical across all descriptions. For physicians in Lakeview, Kranj who have watched patients weep with joy as they describe this encounter, Physicians' Untold Stories provides a scientific and narrative context that honors the profundity of the experience.
