Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but I agree with the premise.
As someone with a handful of medical NDEs under my belt I've found them instrumental in learning to be a better, God fearing/loving person as well as well as super helpful as personal ammunition against this pathetic COVID scare. Super glad I've had them. Realize they work. Wouldn't wish them on anyone who doesn't need them. And am very interested in, and glad to hear, the sociological studies mentioned above.
God works in such mysterious ways, especially when he wants you to learn something. :)
So, for various reasons I've been looking into NDEs lately and just by some weird chance you comment here and you just happen to have experience with NDEs. I don't do statistics but I'm guessing that this is statistically unlikely? Pretty cool reality we're in, sometimes.
They're not necessarily something you want to seek out, lol. But when they happen, they happen. I can only speak to the very narrow spectrum of NDE due to medical issues, nothing really exciting or dramatic like war or car accidents. I will say this though: I was peaceful and completely at ease each time it happened. And I was not religious at the time, and actually didn't become so until years afterwards.
Without details, what happened to me was actually about as close of an analogy to a hypothetical COVID death one could have. Eerily so (think flush). If people knew what it was like, I suspect fewer would fear COVID, even if it was real. ;)
Frankly, a lot of stuff I've read about the psychedelic experience touches on similar themes. However, I'd guess the brain is less of and active participant in a true NDE, and more of a passenger.
Edit: Added last paragraph. Hope the insight helps, glad to talk to you.
I've been looking into the nature of reality for many years and one of the proofs of its quirkiness seems to be NDEs. I've had experience with precognition before and have played around with intention successfully, so I'm not doubting anything any more. Some of the NDE stories, if true, destroy the standards of science, physics and reality.

It's hard to tell sometimes on message boards. :) Glad you feel the same way. Forged in fire and all that.
