GR translation: white finality

[Kai Frederik Lorentzen]

"One of the most examined components of the newly fashionable 
Near-Death-Experience business is lights and tunnels, at least in the 
West. Other cultures, it seems, experience near death rather differently 
--- the Japanese, for instance, suffer from visions of depressing pounds 
and gloomy rivers --- suggesting the sad conclusion that even in the 
very throes of death there is no direct experience of reality."
(Nigel Barley: Dancing on the Grave. Encounters with Death. London 1995: 
John Murray, pp. 156-7)

And even in the West people experience near death not always like it is 
shown on TV.

The lights and tunnels stuff is probably more a repetition of the 
experience of being born.
