Summary
For forty years, near-death researchers built their models almost entirely on adult testimony. A new literature review just revealed the oversight: only 8 studies in four decades directly included children as subjects - despite children regularly surviving cardiac arrests and reporting experiences every bit as vivid as adults. What those children report is startling in its implications. They share the structural features of NDEs - the tunnel, the light, the out-of-body sensation - but none of the cultural overlay that fills adult accounts. No life reviews. No deceased relatives. No religious figures shaped by their tradition. The researchers describe children's accounts as more "raw" - less mediated by a lifetime of cultural expectation. 🔗 Read the blurb: https://troubledminds.substack.com/p/an-uncontaminated-witness-the-children 📡 Troubled Minds Radio Website: https://troubledminds.org Twitter/X: @TroubledMinds If you are having a mental health crisis and need immediate help, please go to https://troubledminds.org/help/ and call somebody right now.
