NDE Stories in Cosmic Cradle

Elizabeth and Neil Carman, Ph.D. lectured on the Reverse-NDE or Pre Birth Experiences (PBE) at the annual conference of the International Association of Near-Death Experiencers in 2001 in Seattle. They shared three major parallels between these two experiences.

They explained that we all are Pre-Birth Experiencers who have travelled down the tunnel of light featured on the cover of Cosmic Cradle and that the Near-Death Experience (NDE) is a reverse PBE. At death, we simply travel, so to speak, back up through the frequency shift to higher, faster vibrational energies which seems like a tunnel.
