Lifting the Veil on Near-Death Experiences

[IdeomotorPrisoner]

I have talked to people with TWO distinct neat death experiences.

It's like dreams vs blacking out.

Some are dead for 11 minutes and remember collapsing and then waking up in the hospital. Others have these grand and profound, but heavily subjective experiences.

Something never covered that bugs me, is while they touch on the worldwide phenomenon they don't tell how each is representative of local culture.

Would a Hindu's ascension into the divine form look like a many-headed Jimi Hendrix album cover where a Christian would see fluffy white clouds, angels, and golden gates, or even a lake of fire? I actually don't know what an NDE would be like with reincarnation, but I'm pretty sure people not imprinted with a Christian heaven aren't seeing it.

It's so dependent on what the near-death narrative is that it makes me think NDEs are similar to the trip of a Shaman, right down to the ingestion of DMT (dream chemical also found in nature that induces profound hallucinations)

It's always landed in the spectrum for me. It's like, you will see what you want too.

The pleasure chemicals released at death may play a role, and some have so much released its like "dreaming into death."

I know thats an unbeliever buzzkill position to take, but it makes most sense to me. Especially with how much what happens at death varies across cultures.
