One thing that I wonder sometimes may be neglected or possibly underreported is more religious type of NDE experiences. I sometimes think of it in similar ways to the distressing NDE experiences. If I remember correctly, I think something like 1 in 5 or 1 in 10 (I know that would prove huge statistical differences, but I cannot remember the exact ratio that I recently heard) may experience distressing NDE's. I think I found that number either in Jan Holden's book of Near Death Experiences or maybe it was Nan Bush's Dancing Past the Dark. But either way, I often visit a site that has over 80 pages of NDE related videos. They sometimes have videos relating to religious type experiences in NDE's and if there is a link to the video, I will sometimes check out the website. I came across one recently called heavenvisit.com and wanted to hear some other people's takes on it.
Do you think there are a lot more religious type NDE's that occur but go underreported for various reasons, or is it possible that because NDE's, in a way, have become so popularized, that various people are attempting to "cash in" on these experiences..whether motivated for financial reasons, or to push a certain agenda (or religious belief).
A lot of the experiences on that website, perhaps all, I have only checked out a few, seem to push the traditional Christian beliefs of heaven, hell, salvation, Jesus as Savior, etc.
It is difficult to judge the authenticity of some of these accounts, but I do not want to simply discount them because they run counter to many of the more traditional NDE type experiences, of love, peace, acceptance and oneness.
Some of the more well known examples may be Ian McCormick, Howard Storm or Donald Piper, but lately I have been coming across a lot more of these type of reported NDE experiences.
What do you guys think??
