Abstract: Pascal Michael presented a cogent commentary on my recent book, After, focusing on the similarities between near-death experiences (NDEs) and psychedelic experiences. In doing so, he suggested that I did not acknowledge the substantial explanatory value of a psychedelic framework in understanding NDEs. I agree that I may have understated the role that endogenous psychedelic molecules may play in mediating some NDEs or NDE-like experiences, but I maintain that that such mediation does not imply causation of, or even inevitable correlation with, NDEs. I suggest that those NDE features that are not explained by neurochemical mediation are critical elements in understanding the origins, mechanisms, and meaning of NDEs.
