People who don't believe in the existence of "soul" think that "soul" is something imagined by people out of fear of death. When a person's body dies, then this life is over, his thinking stops and everything is over. Their reason is that the "soul" is invisible and intangible, and even the most advanced modern scientific instruments cannot detect its existence.
There is also a view that human beings can't prove the existence of "soul", but they can't deny the existence of "soul". Because what modern scientific instruments can't see, touch or detect doesn't prove that it doesn't exist, or it may be because this instrument is not advanced enough. They believe that the existence of "soul" is a question of "belief", and there is no belief. They think this view is the fairest.
"Near-death experience" illuminates a ray of light for uncovering the mystery of "soul". The so-called "near-death experience" means that this person's heartbeat and brain waves stopped (died), and later he was brought back to life with the help of a doctor, and he could recall the experience during his "death".
For example, a scientist who studies "near-death experience" wrote in his research report: "I interviewed a 12-year-old patient who didn't know how critical her condition was after cardiac arrest caused by asthma. In the one-hour interview, we talked about all aspects of her hospitalization, from how the nurse treated her to the taste of food. At the end of the last interview, I asked her,' Do you remember anything else about getting sick? She frowned and turned up her nose and said, "Yes, something happened, but it's hard to describe. You may think I'm crazy, but I do think I left my body. I think I'm looking down on myself. I can see my mother holding my hand. I can see a beam of light. "
Scientists have found that thousands of people have experienced "near-death experiences". Someone saw the doctor save the body after leaving the body; Some people float out of their bodies and under the ceiling, and they can see the overhead light in the next room; Some people feel very small after floating; Other people have seen other lives, and so on. It is found that "near-death experience" has nothing to do with gender, age, race, religious background, occupation and education level.
Now scientists have no dispute about the authenticity of the "near-death experience" phenomenon, but there are several different views on the explanation of this phenomenon:
1) physiological explanation: this phenomenon is considered to be an illusion effect caused by changes in chemical composition in the human brain, such as changes in carbon dioxide content;
2) Psychological explanation: This phenomenon is imagined by people's fear of death, but it is not true.
3) Transcendental explanation: this phenomenon reflects an extraordinary objective existence, and what people who have "near-death experience" see is true.
Sam parnia, a British doctor, was the first person in the world to prove the existence of "soul" by scientific experiments. His experimental design is as follows: If the patient's "soul" can float and see his own body after death, and the doctor is rescuing his body and the lamp on the ceiling, then if a board is placed under the ceiling and some small objects are placed on the board (only Sam knows what objects are, others don't know), then the "soul" should be able to see these small objects. If the patient can be rescued and can tell what the small objects on the chessboard are, then we can tell whether the "soul" is an illusory imagination or an objective entity.
Sam studied more than 65,438+000 patients, and found that 7 of them could tell what their "souls" saw when they woke up, especially the small objects on the chessboard, which were all right. Sam's experiment was a success.
Sam's experiment is groundbreaking. He proved the objective existence of "soul" with scientific experiments, which is the first time in the world. "Soul" is an objective entity with a certain size, which can float and move. It is another form of human life, not an illusory imagination. On June 20th, 20001,Sam was invited to give a lecture at Rice University in Houston entitled "Near-death experience: the perspective of brain death or the perspective of new science of consciousness?" This report has attracted many people who are interested in life research. In his report, Sam first introduced the background of the study of near-death experience, which was studied by many doctors and scientists. When talking about the relationship between consciousness (soul) and brain, Sam introduced different viewpoints.
Traditionally, consciousness is generated in neural networks, and there is no consciousness without neural networks. Other new ideas are as follows: 1) consciousness is produced by quantum effect;
2) Consciousness is caused by the vibration effect of form;
3) Consciousness exists independently of the brain, just as electromagnetic fields can exist independently;
4) "Spirit" itself is a science.
Sam also introduced the next step of research: Britain will spend 140000 pounds to conduct multidisciplinary research on the "near-death experience" of cardiac arrest; Baylor Medical College in Houston, USA will conduct a study on the relationship between consciousness and gene expression. There are other studies in Britain and the United States.
Finally, Sam showed a typical conversation video of people who had a "near-death experience" and answered questions raised by the audience.
Researchers at Houston Texas Medical Center expressed great interest in Sam's research, believing that it is of great significance to explore the nature of life, and proposed to cooperate with Sam to study this new field of life.
[Postscript]
Sam proved the objective existence of "soul" through scientific experiments. However, in the field of practice, people have already confirmed the objective existence of "soul" by practicing this method thousands of years ago, but it is called "Shen Yuan" in the field of practice, which is the body of human beings in another space.
