W E would like to thank the Committee of IANDS (UK) who helped devise the questionnaire used in our study, and in particular its founder, Margot Grey, who first drew our attention to the near-death experience, and whose example and support encouraged so many people to come out and talk about what had happened to them.
Our special thanks are also due to David Lorimer, Chairman of IANDS (UK), always a good friend and supportive colleague. David, with Margot, has done more than anyone else in the UK to generate interest in the topic of near-death experiences, and it was through David and Margot that we were able to contact many of the people whose experiences are described in the book.
Finally, we want to give our very sincere thanks to everyone who took the trouble to fill in our questionnaire, or who agreed to contribute their story, or who agreed to lend us photographs. It was because they were willing to do so that we were able to write this book. Our only regret is that we have not been able to meet them all to offer our thanks in person.
Peter and Elizabeth Fenwick
M OST of us at the very least wonder about our own immortality and many people are convinced that there is something beyond death, beyond the blackness of the grave. In Western Judaeo-Christian culture we absorb from an early age the idea that virtue now has its own reward - later. We are taught that the universe is essentially moral and that there are absolute human values.
But increasingly, science presents us with a picture of a much more mechanical universe in which there is no absolute morality and man has no purpose and no personal responsibility except to his culture and his biology. We no longer live in an age when faith is sufficient; we demand data, and we are driven by data. And it is data - data that apparently throws some light on our current concepts of Heaven and Hell - that the near-death experience seems to offer.
The near-death experience (NDE) is intriguing for two major reasons. First, it is very common and secondly, it is cross-cultural. The results of one NOP survey in America suggest that over 1 million Americans have seen the light. Any experience that is so common must have had some influence on the way we think about life and death. Indeed, it could be the very engine that drives our ideas of an afterlife.
Many people believe that in the NDE we are given glimpses of Heaven (or Hell). But it is just as reasonable to assume that it is the NDE itself which may have shaped our very ideas about Heaven and Hell.
It is natural that we should want to examine such experiences in detail and subject them to scientific scrutiny. But its also important to bear in mind that we may not be using the right tool for the job. The scientific method of analysis is essentially objective: are we justified in using it to analyse data which is mainly subjective? One aim of this book is to give space to those who have experienced the beyond and to give ourselves time to listen to them without preconceived prejudices. Then we may be able to decide whether their experiences can be explained by an entirely scientific approach or whether it is only by taking a wider view of man and of the universe that we can find any satisfactory answers.
The experiences described in this book are all first-hand accounts from people who wrote to me or to David Lorimer, chairman of the International Association of Near Death Studies (UK), after a television programme, radio broadcast or magazine or newspaper article made them aware of our interest in near-death experiences. People wrote from all over England, though the greatest number were from the southeast. There were fewer responses from Wales; fewer still from Scotland, and only one or two from Ireland.
