LOS ANGELES (KNX) – There may be some truth behind the phrase “life flashing before your eyes," according to a new study.
The study, published by Sam Parnia, MD, PhD, and a team of researchers at New York University, featured survivors of near death experiences who said they went through a “perception of separation from the body with a heightened, vast sense of consciousness and recognition of death.”
The researchers concluded that these experiences are “not consistent with hallucinations, illusions, or psychedelic drug–induced experiences,” but are called “unique lucid experiences.”
Dr. David Greuner, managing director and co-founder of NYC Surgical Associates., told KNX News he was working out on his seventh floor roof in Miami, when he dropped his cell on the side of the balcony. As he went to pick it up, he slipped on a wet tile and fell.
“…And nobody’s ever survived a fourth floor fall onto a hard surface ever before in that state so I was pretty much delegated to the death category,” he explained.
Dr. Greuner said that while he doesn’t remember too much, he remembers having what he called “some very, very weird dreams” while he was in a two-week coma.
Meanwhile Steve Sayre, a filmmaker who had one near death experience and two after death experiences, told KNX News that one second before a head-on collision, “everything that I had ever done in my life flashed before my eyes.”
He also recalled an after death experience in a hospital where after he flat lined, he heard “a voice that said, ‘Don’t worry, you’re going home.’”
