Three Ancient Greek NDEs from Proclus (Historical Near-Death Experience of the Month)

To celebrate embarking on my second PhD, here are three ancient Greek NDEs. I'm taking the scenic route to a new book, which will tentatively be called To Die and Rise Again: Near-Death Experience in Classical Antiquity. These three examples were preserved for us by the ancient Greek philosopher Proclus, (412-485 CE). Interestingly, he wrote about them in his commentary on Plato’s account of the Myth of Er (a famous Greek NDE account). Proclus actually recounted five return-

The NDEs of Stanley and Livingstone (Historical Near-Death Experience of the Month)

"Dr. Livingstone, I presume?"

Stanley had an NDE while almost dying from a fever. Livingstone had one while almost being eaten by a lion.

This article - free to download in honor of Indigenous Peoples' Day - explores such cases in Native American cultures, though examples are also known from indigenous South America, the Pacific, and elsewhere. “The Sun told me I would be restore

A Japanese Shinto NDE from the Year 941 CE (Historical Near-Death Experience of the Month)

"Your life is like a cloud that catches a moment on the mountain, then drifts off and melts into the sky." The Historical NDE of the Month for July comes from a Japanese text called the Konjaku Monogatarishū, or Anthology of Tales of the Past. It is a collection of supposedly factual accounts compiled around 1120, though drawing on earlier material from India, China, and Japan. This diversity is reflected in the way varying beliefs are combined in some of the narratives, cont
