I read an account of a near-death experience a couple of years ago from an atheist man. When he "died", he went out of his body and saw Jesus in the room with him. He asked Jesus if he was real, or just an illusion/dream.
The image of Jesus then transformed into a ball of light. This ball of light communicated to the man that it initially appeared as Jesus because the man had a Christian upbringing and was familiar with the character of Jesus. It was essentially to make him feel more at ease.

Wouldn't it make more sense for an afterlife to be so different from our human experience that it's almost undescribable? I'd like to think that young children who pass away aren't trapped in an adolescent mindset after death. Growing up in heaven is equally unbelievable. Instead I think it's highly probably that these near death experiences are more similar to deep meditation where we explore our innermost selves.
- remir 9y agoIf I remember correctly, the man said that he eventually went to another "realm" or "dimension" that was beyond words, but that he needed a sort of transition between the two level of consciousness. It's probably similar to how deep sea divers cannot go to the surface too rapidly.
