The Popularity of Near-Death Experience

I have unfortunately experienced actual "almost died" and experienced none of this. I wonder if it's due to my lack of religious training?

Yes, or more in line with it not being a real phenomenon. Instead it might be possible that certain blood loss or panic induces an almost meditative state and that those occur more often when close to death. Tons of people have had similar experiences meditating, taking hallucinagens or on vision quests. My guess is that those experiences are related in some way rather than our souls not sure if they're really dead or not.

Seconded. Experienced absolutely nothing.
