Are Near-Death Experiences Universal? Guest Article on Coming Home Substack




"This week features guest author Gregory Shushan, PhD, a historian of religions, an award-winning author, and the leading authority on near-death experiences and the afterlife across cultures and throughout history. You can find him on Substack here and on Patreon here.


In this essay, you will read how:

  • Near-death experiences are known from around the world and throughout history.

  • As we will see, accounts of NDEs share many similarities but also have cultural and individual differences.

  • The similarities mean that NDEs originate in something beyond culture—they are not simply culturally constructed.

  • Although afterlife beliefs influence NDEs, it is a symbiotic process: the experience itself is also a powerful generator of new religious and spiritual beliefs.
