| Abstract: | The lead article in this issue of "Journal of Near-Death Studies" is a theoretical essay by Malaysian sociologist Raymond Lee (see record 2004-19198-002), in which he compares consciousness in the dream state with consciousness in dying, and the light seen in neardeath experiences (NDEs) with the clear light encountered in dream yoga. Next, Dutch anesthesiologist G. M. Woerlee (see record 2004-19198-003) argues that NDEs experienced during cardiac arrest are explicable entirely by the known physiology of oxygen deprivation. Next, psychologist William Roll (see record 2004-19198-004) presents the results of a pilot study of evocation of deceased entities with a psychomanteum. Then English professor Stafford Betty (see record 2004-19198-005) revisits psychoanalyst Carl Jung's interpretation of the NDE described by one of his patients as a prime example of what Jung called synchronicity. Finally, psychologist John McDonagh (see record 2004-19198-006) extends the suggestion that information about NDEs may be helpful in treating suicidal clients. This issue ends with the obituary of parapsychologist and author Raymond Bayless, whose work popularized research into the question of survival of bodily death.
