"I Was Home:" Near-Death Experiences and Reincarnation Hypothesis
Journal of Near-Death Studies January 1, 2025 J. Gibbs
Near-death experiences sometimes include a profound feeling of "returning home." This article examines accounts of that sensation and considers whether such experiences might provide evidence for reincarnation. The authors explore the hypothesis without drawing a firm conclusion, noting both the subjective power of the phenomenon and the lack of empirical data to confirm a literal return to a previous life. The discussion remains speculative, grounded in anecdotal reports rather than controlled observation.
