Who knows what this kind of deprivation does to people's minds. It's *not a dream* either, during dreams the brain is in principle fully functional and when we wake up, the usual mechanisms for reality checking do their thing. We evolved to be functional in the real world despite having dreams. In these extreme experiences, the brain does not operate properly. You can't compare the two except to note that dreams show us that our mind is capable of astonishing fabrications.
Right, so if this happened to you (your brain fabricating an incident with God and Jesus during near death), you would wake up and rationalize it, right? You would wake up and at least eventually come to the conclusion that it was just your brain doing weird things. Correct?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
