| Abstract [eng] |
The reality that exists beside us is material and we are unable to perceive the world of spiritual values with our sense- organs. There are scientific works a subject of analysis in which is a research on objectivity and genesis of spiritual phenomena experienced during clinical death. The subject of our research is paranormal phenomena in clinical death and/or in connection with death of an immediate family member. The aim is a search for scientific interpretation in literature of the phenomenon of spiritual reality in clinical death and paranormal phenomena related to death of an immediate family member. The method of the research includes analysis of literature sources (in German) and comparative analysis. At a boundary between life and death, a person, like in a momentary film, feels paranormal views and images from his/her personal past, and then returns back – such is a hypothesis of the existence of the spiritual reality. Psychologists interested in this subject and neurobiologists count millions of such cases globally (Joachim Nicolay, Alois Serwaty, 2010). As it was noted by the researchers (Judith Cressy, 1994, Sabine Mehne, 2010), “those, who came back”, perceived the fact of death in a different way and applied other value system to their life. Is this impartial? The neurologist prof. hab. dr. Wilfried Kuhn (2010) analysed the marginal situations between spirituality and science for 25 years. Summarizing the conclusions made by him and other researchers, Kuhn states that the same stimuli raise analogous brain activity both in those who accept religious facts and statements, and in those who deny them. Biochemical changes and hypoxia are typical of many people during their clinical deaths, but spiritual experiences are just like an exception and are seen as a gift. [...]. |
