Almost unnoticed in the euphoria about them has been the sobering fact that not all near death experiences are so affirming. Some are deeply disturbing. I, Max Sirius, had a very similar marijuana-induced out of body experience as this following woman when I was 19 years young, but I didn’t see any white light, I just flew through space at a tremendous speed fearing that I would collide with planets, etc.: “In childbirth she felt her spirit separate from her body and fly into space at tremendous speed, then saw a small ball of light rushing toward her: “It became bigger and bigger as it came toward me. I realized that we were on a collision course, and it terrified me. I saw the blinding white light come right to me and engulf me.”” No evidence supports the conventional assumption that “good” people get pleasant near death experiences and “bad” people have distressing ones. Saints have reported extremely disturbing near death experiences, while felons and suicide attempters have encountered bliss. The psychological literature on post traumatic growth did not exist in the early years of our study of distressing near death experiences , so that aspect of response remains underreported. As a growing number of studies make clear, even the most devastating life event, “like the grit that creates the oyster, is often what propels people to become more true to themselves, take on new challenges, and view life from a wider perspective.” Like the better publicized pleasurable near death experiences, distressing near-death experiences are both fascinating and frustrating as altered states of consciousness. Because of the deeply rooted concept of hell in Western culture and its Christian association with eternal physical torment, they pose serious challenges to the individuals who must shape their lives around such a profoundly durable event, and to their families, friends, and physicians. In the absence of clear-cut clinical data and universal cultural views, physicians are advised that neutrality of opinion and careful listening are likely to constitute best professional practice for addressing these difficult near death experiences.”
