Like there's no freaking afterlife.

Like come on.

Nice try.

Like close but no cigar.

Oh, well.

I guess when we're dead, we're dead.

And so then –

The one thing that didn't quite make sense was that there's this incredible consistency in people, like an enormous percentage of the time, and I can't remember off the top of my head, but quite a large percentage of the time, the dying, people who have NDEs and are resuscitated and report their memories like I was, I was able to.

they are received by the dead, right?

The dead come to receive them.

Sometimes it's your father.

Sometimes it's a friend who died decades earlier.

Sometimes it's someone that you might not even like very much, but the dead come to receive the dying in the way that my father did.

You know, my mind, I'm like, I don't know, you know, like,

I get it.

You give everyone LSD and they all have hallucinations and the dying brain produces hallucinations.

But it's sort of odd.
