Greyson confirms veracity of NDE memories

To test the veracity of old near-death memories, Bruce Greyson writes that in 2002: “I began tracking down people I had interviewed about their near-death experiences in the early 1980s, asking them to describe their near-death experiences for me again.” Greyson found “there were no differences between what the experiencers told me in the 1980s and what they told me decades later. 

This suggests that experiencers’ memories of near-death experiences are reliable. And by extension it also suggests that studying experiences that happened years ago is as valid as studying recent near-death experiences.”

“Several researchers have found consistent changes in experiencers’ perception of self, relationships to others, and attitude toward life. Experiencers return from near-death experiences with a new or strengthened belief in life after death, a feeling of being loved and valued by some higher power, increased self-esteem, and a new sense of purpose or mission. This new sense of purpose or mission in life is often related to an experience of having been sent back, or having made a choice to return to life, to complete some work.'
