Summary:The clinically dead are taken from the peaceful, sunlit setting and plunged into darkness again only to be faced with what [James Graves] describes as "a dazzling pillar of light that overwhelms them with love, joy and peace. They say the being of light does not identify itself, but you see your whole life in front of you and it asks: 'What have you done with the life I've given you?' " Not all clinical death experiences are positive. And the negative ones are the hardest to unearth because researchers have discovered that most people repress negative memories, Graves says. There have been all kinds of theories, Graves says, from the religious interpretation of heaven and God to those who blame oxygen deprivation. Some have hypothesized it is wishful thinking, the result of drugs and a Freudian explanation that the tunnel is a return to the womb.
