Ineffability:
Those involved characterize their experiences as ineffable or inexpressible. It is as if all the words that we have are three dimensional, while the next world is definitely not three dimensional. Hearing the news: Many of the persons hear their doctors, nurses or bystanders exclaim loudly about their being dead, to the extent that they can faithfully reproduce the exact words spoken by them. Feelings of peace and quiet: Many people describe extremely pleasant feelings and sensations during the early stages of their experiences. Their pain vanishes and is replaced by feelings of peace, quiet, relief, comfort, ease, solitude and relaxation. The noise: There are various unusual auditory sensations. Sometimes these are unpleasant and are described as buzzing, loud ringing, whistling, a loud click, a roaring, a banging and as a whistling sound, like the wind. In other cases, they hear pleasant music like the tingling of Japanese wind bells or majestic, beautiful sort of music. The dark tunnel: Often concurrently with the noise, people have the sensation of being pulled very rapidly through a dark space of some kind. This has been variously described as a cave, a well, a trough, an enclosure, a tunnel, a funnel, a vacuum, a void, a sewer, a valley and a cylinder. It has been compared to a ride on a roller coaster train at an amusement park, a journey through a tunnel of concentric circles, or going down a very dark path in a very deep valley. Out of the body: When they move out of their bodies, they are in for an overwhelming surprise. They find themselves looking at their own bodies from the outside as though they are spectators, a third person in the room or watching figures in a play or a film. They are quite confused and do not link it with death for some time. Some would like to get back into their bodies, as they do not know how to proceed further. Some have concern for their bodies and would not like these to be used as cadavers. Some take time to recognize their own bodies, as they are used to looking at themselves from the front in a mirror. Others have no feelings at all towards their bodies. At some stage, the persons realize that they have died. Some welcome this realization. Others react with bafflement and even a certain refusal. One or two persons found that they had been released from their bodies and felt that they were now pure consciousness, without occupying any space. But the 2 majority found themselves into a new body, which might be referred to as the spiritual body.. Most people find the human language inadequate to describe the spiritual body. But there is a similarity in their accounts about the basic features of this body. The person is both inaudible as well as invisible to others. His body seems to lack solidity. Physical objects appear to move through it with ease, while he is unable to get a grip on any object or person he tries to touch. The body is weightless. He seems to be floating right up to the ceiling of the room or into the air. Quite a few were aware of the lack of the physical sensations of body weight, movement and position. All these features can also be looked upon as the absence of limitations. He can see and hear other persons, but they cannot see or hear him. He can cross any physical entity like a door or a wall with ease. Movement from one place to another can be extremely rapid, almost instantaneous. The spiritual body has a shape or form, sometimes a globular or amorphous cloud and sometimes essentially the same shape as the physical body. It also seems to have parts (projections or surfaces analogous to arms, legs, a head etc.). It is often said to have ends, a definite top and bottom. The spiritual body has been variously described as a mist, a cloud, smoke-like, a vapour, transparent, a cloud of colours, wispy, an energy pattern etc. Almost all accounts remark on the timelessness of the out-of-body state. It is almost as if time is standing still. Also, people seem to think more lucidly and rapidly than in physical existence. On or two subjects had no sensation of temperature, while most people felt comfortably warm. No one reported any odours or tastes while out of their bodies. The senses of sight and hearing seem to be heightened and more perfect. Vision seems incredibly more powerful. They can see very far, as if they could look anywhere and everywhere. If they want to see something at a distance, they sort of zoom up to it. Part of the body seems to go there like a tracer. Hearing is called by that name only by analogy. They do not really hear physical voices or sounds. They seem to pick up the thoughts of persons around them and there is a direct transfer of thoughts. They seem to know what the others are thinking, but only in their minds. Even severe damage to the physical body does not seem to affect the spiritual body adversely. As they are unable to speak or touch other people, they have a tremendous sense of loneliness and isolation. They may feel depressed at this failure to communicate with others. 3 |
