He was revived 30 minutes after being pronounced dead in 1846... Really? I mean it's extremely interesting, I just have a hard time believing they were able to bring him back at that time with their medical training.
Ok, let's back it up before I get too far into this. You said "this sort of thing is not new." Do you mean medicine helping the dying? Or legitimate visions of the afterlife, the general idea of NDEs (Near Death Experiences)?
Also, if it's the former, how do Jesus and Grigori Rasputin relate? If it's the latter, we will have a much longer discussion : P. If it's something else, please, lemme know. Thanks!
I speak of people living when they should had died. There was a point in history when this was so common place that when some one was buried, a small string would be placed in the coffin so that if they came back, they may pull on the string and ring a bell. We don't fully understand the human body. It is capable of amazing things. I do not think he was revived by anyone. His body was just not ready to give up yet. History is littered with cases of people thinking some one is dead, only for the dead to come back.
To the first part: that was "so commonplace" for many reasons. Firstly, medical science was in such a state that doctors were not very apt at determining death. Secondly, there were also superstitions accomanying the bell/string apparatus, having to do with spirits.
I agree that we don't understand the human body, and that it is capable of amazing things. Are you saying, with your statement, that you believe the story in the OP to be factually accurate? And I was also confused with your use of exclusively religious figures in your first post. I will just assume coincidence for now.
When I speak of the story of Jesus I don't think it was divine intervention as much as it was. . . "I'm not dead yet" (one of the best movies ever). He like Grigori Rasputin are just two of the better know stories of people coming back when they should be dead. It could be divine intervention, it could be just the human body, it could be they woke up from a deep sleep, or it could be . . .
I have no Idea, all I know is it has happened in the past to some people.
if only we could figure out the proper receptor that triggers the production of DMT in the brain... Get enough of it and put it in the water supply of a city and you have the beginning of a zombie apocalypse.
LSD and DMT are similar but different. LSD is a more pleasant experience because of its duration while DMT is short and more often becomes very chaotic.
I've had an unpleasant trip on LSD which was the last time I ever did it. I was just saying that it's harder to have one because of the duration because generally it's more mellow and drawn out, where as DMT throws you through your trip at the speed of sound so you never get comfortable so the likelihood you'll have a bad trip is much more likely.

American Tango and Cha Cha in very small amounts as well... but I digress.
