Ndeer

The figure associated with the light may also offer the NDEer a choice of whether he or she would prefer to stay or to return to his or her body.

Ring sees both the NDE and UFOE as modern day shamanic initiations in which the journeyer (NDEer or UFOer) enters an "imaginal" reality, an alternative reality that coexists with physical reality and that is equally real.

Dr. Fleury does raise two important aspects of the NDE, the experience of the life review and the effects of the NDE on the NDEer.

Prejudice aside, there is no more reason to doubt that the reports accurately reflect an NDEer's experience than there is to doubt someone's account of what they experienced during their last holiday in the Caribbean.

From this point, the interview begins: the NDEer gives a background of the incident that led to his or her NDE, then a detailed story of the out of body experience itself, and finally the impacts or consequences of the NDEers visits to the realm of the afterlife.
