Consolidation of Near-Death Discourse (1930–1960)
- First published:
- 21st century
The three decades treated in this chapter can be summarized as a consolidation phase of near-death discourse, transmitted mainly in parapsychology, Theosophy, and Spiritualist–Occult circles. A newly emerging element in near-death visions is the “tunnel” experience. Finally, the chapter highlights the impact of Aldous Huxley—especially his psychedelic drug experiences in combination with his reading of the Tibetan Book of the Dead —for the final configuration of systematized near-death experiences.
