It is extremely unlikely that there is not an afterlife in light of the empirical evidence. Just because religions are demonstrably silly, it does not mean that materialism is true and that death implies oblivion. There is a tremendous amount of empirical evidence that suggests that our mind or consciousness continues past the point of physical death and that there is an infinitely amazing afterlife awaiting unconditionally around the corner of a ceased heartbeat for everyone.

In essence, the purpose of these lives is to learn to be an infinitely loving and kind person despite the fact that the world is demonstrably shitty and it is really hard to develop character here. But the person who is infinitely happy, kind, loving, accepting, and forgiving while they are being tortured, to take the ultimate example, will quite figuratively explode from happiness in heaven. So use your challenges as gifts to develop your character. After all, you had the multiverse as your smorgasbord while you were still in paradise, and yet you chose this life; being this character, in this society, in this world.

This is the person who had the deepest NDE ever, Christian Andréason:

>the marked shelves, the focus of the study, weren’t near that subject.

Because the study was underfunded. And why was it underfunded? Because it is too controversial for the fundamaterialists who are the gatekeepers of funding in the academic climate.

If we had shelves in all the rooms of all the hospitals in the world - something that a billionaire could easily pay for, I might add - we could have conclusive data within a year. And since this is such a promising field of inquiry, then, why are we not doing that? It seems to be the most important question of all, and yet, here we are with the demonstrable hostility you are an illustrative example of toward this subject.

>nothing conclusive

The patient reported things that were beyond astronomically unlikely to just be guessed.

>That study makes a mockery of NDEs as anything significant.

On the absolute contrary, it has helped NDEs come into the mainstream a lot more. Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnoIf2NwaRY

>Respectable research is published in journals and peer-reviewed.

No, publishing one's findings in books happen all the time. And were it not for how controversial and disagreeable you find the data to be, you would see how obvious that is as well. Additionally, how do you publish hundreds of pages as a single journal article? And lastly, it is a compilation and analysis of respectable research done in those journals many times.

>ctrl+f "nde" / "near" -> No mention of NDEs

OBEs during non-NDE states are very different than OBEs occurring during NDEs. Hence that paper is irrelevant.
