109	7	The Truth in the Light	Peter & Elizabeth Fenwick	1995	NDE / Scientific	British neuropsychiatrist analyzes 350 NDE reports. Standard neurological explanations (anoxia, temporal lobe, endorphins) fail to account for the full NDE phenomenology.

127	7	Supernatural	Graham Hancock	2005	Psychedelics / Cave Art	Ancient cave art depicts entities consistent with modern psychedelic experiences. Visionary plants may have sparked human consciousness itself.
128	7	The Idea of the World	Bernardo Kastrup, Ph.D.	2019	Consciousness / Idealism	Academic treatment of analytic idealism. All reality is an expression of universal consciousness. Individual minds are dissociated segments.
