Here's a cool NDE I just read: Dr. George Ritchie's Near-Death Experience
I have a theory (or idea) about how afterlife might work. That consciousness is produced by the brain, rather than an immaterial soul, has some evidence in favor of it from mental illness and such, but life after death also has good evidence from NDEs. It's possible they are both true. Maybe there is a system somewhat analogous to The Matrix in another dimension that automatically copies a person's personality when they die and saves it in a way that maintains consciousness, analogous to a program playing on a computer. People in that 'matrix' can communicate with one another and access information about the universe, as well as perhaps create zones within it which they program to resemble places on earth or their concepts of heaven or hell. Just speculation, but seems to have some explanatory power.
