I know the topic of NDEs has been beat to death on AF. For the love of all that is squishy, please don't bother to re-hash it here. I was just having a shower thought the other day about NDEs, and I've never heard of someone having an NDE of hell. I mean, the obvious reason is obvious, but has anyone heard of someone claiming to have seen Satan or hell after dying for a bit? I don't care if you believe or don't believe in NDEs or why. I don't think any of us care to discuss it anymore. I just specifically want to talk about whether NDEs are all angels and light.
Growing-up in a fundamentalist evangelical Christian Church, I encountered NDEs about Hell, but, I have forgotten the book that I was given on the subject.
In short, like the Gospels, so much of the original source material has been embellished beyond recognition.
Certainly true when you hear second and third-hand accounts of the experiences. It becomes insane! My father once told me about a story he heard, on the 700 Club no less, LOL, of a young boy who saw hell in a NDE... Needless to say, my father's retelling was far more fantastical than the actual kid's account of what happened. He added in so many details and changed so many aspects of the story, probably unconsciously, because as humans, our memories are actually terribly unreliable, or maybe consciously, if he was trying to play it up to sound more impressive (knowing my dad, who knows which is true...)
Then, when I read the kid's story, that I barely remember now, to be honest, it sounded more like a weird fever dream than a trip to hell.... but hey, what do I know. LOL
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
