Near-Life Experiences
So-called near-death experiences are really encounters with the Light.
They occur to people during meditative or spiritual experiences,
not just during life-threatening trauma.
Perhaps a better name then is Near-Life Experiences
Appendix A. Gender, Age, Race

Reading statistical significance tests:
Cross-tabulations include statistical significance testing. Those percentages that differ significantly from others
are indicated by a letter below the percentage.
Example: See page 10. Q10 asks if the experience was frightening or wonderful
Look at the bottom left column on page 10. A total of 414 out of 766 responding indicate a wonderful experience.
This represents 54% of all those who answered the question. These figures appear in Column A.
Columns B and C represent the responses broken out by male, female.
In column B, 47.8% of men report a wonderful experience, while 57.8% of women report that in column C.
The letter "B" appearing under the 57.8% indicates that this percentage is statistically higher than the
number for males in column B. Statistics are calculated for the 95% level of confidence.
