I'm sorry to hear about the difficult time you went through. It's understandable that hearing about near-death experiences (NDEs) from others during that period provided some comfort and fascination.
Near-death experiences are reported by individuals who have come close to death or have had a clinically dead experience but later revived. People often describe a variety of profound and transformative experiences during these events, such as traveling through a tunnel, encountering bright lights, feeling a sense of peace and love, or having a life review.
It's important to note that NDEs are subjective and can vary greatly from person to person. They are often shaped by an individual's cultural, religious, and personal beliefs. Scientifically, there is ongoing research and discussion about what causes NDEs and how they should be interpreted.
Regarding your mention of smoking DMT, it's a psychedelic substance known for inducing intense and profound experiences, including hallucinations and a sense of ego dissolution. Some individuals have reported experiences that share similarities with NDEs during DMT use.
Ultimately, whether to believe in the accounts of NDEs or find personal comfort in them is a personal decision. It can be helpful to keep an open mind while considering scientific research, personal experiences, and individual perspectives.
