[q]And my biggest wonder is the discovery of large physical memory pathways that only seem to work in low oxygen situations (NDE ?), [/q]

A number of studies have shown NDE experiences in normal oxygen situations.  An NDE with normal oxygen rules out low oxygen as an NDE cause. A google search would probably reveal a couple.

The life review is very interesting.

The depth of detail and the ability to "read the mind/emotions" of others while re-experiencing an event within the life review suggests that the experience is not so much a memory review but a revisiting of the actual experience/event.  Often the additional information gained from the review would not be possible if the experience was based on pure memory.  

It is as if the past continues to exist and is available for revisiting during the life review.

Our memories seem to be organized more on the basis of the emotional intensity and significance of the memory than on the basis of the memories place in a chronological sequence.  Perhaps that is what is meant by those who have said the "unconscious" is timeless.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
