Grayam....I agree that we need to understand and rework our definition of intelligence. Throughout history our physical body has not fared too well and I think we devalued, distorted and lost our connection to our corporeal intelligence. We cannot see our body as a source of tainted corruption and expect to remain unified with its own intelligence. In the NDE or IDE or even intense moments as experienced by your friend its like moments of pure impact with a unified sensory system which would include the inferior five physcial senses and the higher senses....it might be the "jump" that kind of sends dna and cells to higher functions. Also one loses their fear of death....fear in life is basically "dis...ease" with and in body.
