NDEs occasionally include encounters with deceased individuals whose death was unknown to the experiencer. If NDEs were driven by expectation, accurate perceptions of unknown (and surprising) facts should not occur.

"Love means recognizing that the other should be exactly who they are-and wishing them well, genuinely and honestly."

Consciousness does not emerge from human brains, according to Professor Maria Strømme, a professor of nanotechnology at Uppsala University. Instead, she claims that it exists as a fundamental field. If this is correct, 'mysterious' phenomena such as telepathy, near-death experiences, and even life after death could finally be explained by science.
