I've been listening to some NDE accounts, and they are quite striking. There is a lot of similarities to what is being discussed here, and many people report experiencing intense love from a cosmic entity that spans all spacetime and dimensions. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bu7i7ckZa4Y
What is the role of NDE in the grand scheme of things? Is it an acceptable "leak" from our vessels to get a glimpse of the true reality, or a deliberate design? Has there been purposeful induction of NDE by NHIs to communicate / awaken?
NDE allows us to glimpse into the other side. However, due to connection with these avatars and not being fully ejected, our 'view' into the other side can have some false-positives. Why? Because if we rely strictly on our vessels' education and not the intuition of the realme, we can be led into believing it is exactly the way as we see it in our imaginations - which can be influenced by media, religions, cults, teachings, and all sorts of ideas. What this particular man, Philip Hasheider, got to see was really a genuine glimpse of the afterlife - unaffected by any sort of technological afterlife influence. This is one of the few instances of genuine truth of the other side.
