Abstract
Abstract
As technological advances have occurred in medicine, including improvements in rates of resuscitation, descriptions of near-death experiences (NDEs) have increased significantly. However, NDEs have been present within religious, literary, and biographical texts for centuries. The phenomenology of NDEs encompasses an inward journey wherein review of one’s life, seeing the dead, and an encounter with a spiritually powerful “being of light” may be reported. The subjective transformations that take place in survivors, as well as the insights generated from NDEs, can be linked with dimensions of the depressive position and Bion’s concept of O. The neurophenomenology of NDEs will be discussed, focusing primarily on neurotransmitter systems. Parallels and contrasts from psychedelic literature will also be explored. Drawing from these various dimensions, the concept of the infinity object will be outlined.
