They went back and forth until I found 16 items that they all pretty much agreed on with the important parts. And they include changes in your thought processes, becoming faster and clearer than before. Changes in your emotions, very strong emotions, usually peace, peace and joy. Something we call paranormal for lack of any better word, sense of leaving the body,

And those are the consistent things that most people report, not all of them by any means, in near-death experiences. Now, there are some people that have frightening or unpleasant experiences. And we didn't hear those back in the 80s because people were afraid to talk about them. It was hard enough to talk about a pleasant near-death experience, but that's what was publicized.

So if you had a frightening one, you think, something's wrong with me. Either my personality or just the way I've lived my life, I don't deserve to have a good one, so I'm not going to tell anybody about this. And it's only been the last 10, 20 years we started really finding these unpleasant experiences. And there were already. We don't know how many there are.

The highest estimate we have is around 20% of near-death experiences. But no one knows because they're still harder to talk about than the pleasant ones. So there may be more that people just don't want to share. And we found three types of unpleasant experiences. The most common type sounds just like the pleasant ones, but they're experienced in an unpleasant way. For example, people will be

And for people who need to be in control all the time, obsessive people like myself and probably you, that's scary to be out of control. So they fight against it.

And that's the large group of unpleasant experiences. Now we find that some of these people, they fight against it and try to get back in control of their bodies. And they eventually get exhausted and just surrender to it. And as soon as they do that, it becomes a blissful experience. So it was the resistance to it that was making it unpleasant.
