During this time, the soul, which is a very active part of each human being, is deciding what our next journey will be, or if the present life is to be extinquished. Sometimes, the soul is not ready to depart the body, the shell in which it is being housed at the present time, and so, the body is "kept" and might "appear" to come back to life.

could you share the reference material you got this from
I did have a near death experience when I was in my motorcycle accident in 1991. You can have your opinions all you want but they become only relevent to you, Reborn. I am confused as to how sometimes your thoughts sound very enlightened and other times you basically sound like a 12 year old Troll. Unless you have actually experienced what some people are talking about you are operating from a place of ignorance and speculation. As far as all of the stories being similar, how does this mean that they are bogus? Don't get me wrong, you can have your opinion but I think your post comes off as arrogant and caustic. If that wasn't the intention of it then I'm sorry.
At the time of my accident I still had the strong lingerings of the JW belief system in my head. Needless to say I was very confused as to what had happened since all good JW's know that when you die there is nothing. I even refused to believe that anything had happened for a very long time. I don't know what it all means but I do now believe there is something else after this life. Whether your energy simply dissipates I don't really know.
