The Australian Journal of Parapsychology Work on Near-Death Experiences

Record summary

Australian psychical-research publications from this period discussed near-death experiences, including phenomenology, survival interpretations, medical explanations, and retrospective testimony. These accounts are relevant to altered states and consciousness because they sit at the boundary between clinical events, memory, religious meaning, and psi claims. The journal provides a regional route to named authors and cases, but the topic should not be reduced to proof of postmortem consciousness. Researchers should verify patient status, timing of interviews, medical documentation, and whether a paper was empirical or theoretical.
