Near-death study: Brains explode with activity as heart stops

[EOTE]

97. I believe there's some kind of relation between what happens to one's brain during seizures and this

kind of mental activity. And I in no way believe that discounts the spiritual aspect of these experiences. I tend to think of the brain as a computer/receiver. As you say, sometimes electricity goes haywire and allows that computer/receiver to operate in unusual ways.

I have a fair bit of experience with psychedelics. One thing I've noticed with a number of psychedelic tryptamines such as magic mushrooms (psilocyn and psilocybin) and various other forms of DMT is that I get what I call "hyper vision" where my field of vision becomes wider and I see things in incredible detail. Sharpness that makes my typical vision seem pretty pathetic in comparison. After a number of trips with my wife and many discussions, she noted that she gets the very same hyper vision immediately prior to her seizures. She'll immediately pull over if it ever happens while driving. Like Dr. Rick Strassman who performed the only legal scientific tests on DMT, I tend to think of endogenous DMT as somewhat of a reality thermostat. Too little of it and things seem flat and lifeless. Too much of it and things are way too intense and overwhelming. Just the right amount and you're in the Goldilocks zone. I believe the massive doses some of our bodies receive at select points in our lives (such as while in the womb and during NDEs) give us little glimpses of the reality we come to occupy after we die.
