The Popularity of Near-Death Experience

But how confusing that we might bring our human thought processes to an after life where we'd need to see Jesus to make us feel comfortable. 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.

If 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.

Deep sea divers can’t come up too rapidly because the nitrogen will cause their blood to boil, not for any mental reason.

That was just an analogy to illustrate the idea of transition.
