Did I stutter? The kind of hallucinations he described are typical of of people suffering from low blood oxygen saturation, people "near death" (hypoxia again, abliet more extreme), and suggestablity: The expectation that something is going to happen.
Psychosomatic conditions can be severe, so it is it any wonder you can percieve a feeling of "warmth" or see some lights? Hell, you could just be a in a posture that constricts breathing, and makes you dizzy.
If you want me to believe in Chi, perform a scientific test of the claims made by "practicitioners". One of the classics, is the Reiki practioner who claims to "feel" energy of other people. Ok, says the skeptic, does it matter if I wear clothes? No, says the practioner. Does it matter of you're looking at me? No says the practioner, I FEEL your Ki. Ok, says the skeptic, then you stand behind this opaque scrim; I'll be behind it, or not, and in various parts of it. Please use your ability to sense energy to point to where I am.
This, is a real challenge, and there is a cash reward for it I believe. This far, no takers. What a shock.
Apply logic accordingly to Chi, Ki, Reiki, Spirit, Aura, Etc... Etc...
