I have read about that boy before, as well as many other people's experiences of NDE's experiences, reincarnation, etc. We cannot rely on science for all of the answers. Science is always changing as new things are learned, but often it takes a long time for science to accept and in the meantime people who experience different realities are ridiculed, scorned, and ignored. Even if in some cases these altered realities are imagination, that is interesting in itself. For where does imagination come from? Have you read "Afterlife Revolution" by Anne and Whitley Strieber as well as Dean Radin's new book, "Real Magic." Thanks for the great article.
