  • That fear is often reported by people who watch those that are dying, or people who are brought back from near death or technical death itself. If they live they repress the memory within seconds and their face returns to normal.

    Whereas other people talk of pleasant things waiting for them - and often long lost friends and family.

    Here's something to think about. If you take the Judo Christian "10 Commandments" and remove the ones that specify who you are to worship and when... the remaining ones are repeated concept for concept in all other major religions in the world. They relate to how you treat other people and live.

    Personally, I don't think that is an accident that all major cultures and religions in the world came up with the exact same rules as how to treat other people and live in society.

    What is the chance of that happening "independently"?

    • I’d say the chances are pretty good. Those rules are the only ones that work. Societies that use different rules don’t last very long.

      It’s natural selection working at a cultural level.
