The 5 Stages many with NDEs experience, regardless of culture:
Separation - Sudden awareness detaches from the body. Pain and tension fade; calmness and clarity increase. Seeing one’s body from above, enhanced perception, effortless movement, absence of gravity or pain.
Passage - Movement through darkness toward a radiant light, experienced as a tunnel or other forms shaped by personal/cultural mindsets. No fear, silence or unnamable music, fluid consciousness responsive to thought, growing radiant light.
Encounter - Meeting with beings of light, often deceased loved ones or spiritual guardians. Communication is telepathic and immediate. Figures appear whole and radiant, sense of never being alone, feeling of safety and belonging.
Life Review - Experiencing one’s life moments simultaneously, feeling others’ emotions linked to those events. Overlapping past, present, future; no judgment, deep understanding of impacts of actions and relationships.
Boundary - Approaching a point of no return—an edge, gate, or river—signifying the choice or limit of return to life. Heightened clarity and connection, timelessness, peace, and unconditional love; sudden return to body.
Keep in mind, you can have several of these experiences right here while alive if you train yourself to do so...
I've experienced the first three at various times and all 3 in the same time frame.
I want to know where I'm going & how to navigate after I shed this temporary body... so I've been practicing... for the past 15+ years.
It's really something witnessing your physical body sound asleep while your consciousness hovers right above it... after you get over the "freak out" stage - which might happen several times at first lol.
You are MUCH more than your physical body and collection of thoughts... and there comes a point when you 100% KNOW you - the real you - can never truly die. That's forbidden knowledge in most institutional circles in this realm...
I suggest the really important forbidden knowledge is that You are Source.
According to my investigation (and according to my introspective "resonance"), the Perspective of "You" is a... fuzzy boundary of a small portion of Source (while at the same time connected (on different levels) to the Whole).
Every religion contains this Primary Teaching. E.g.:
The Kingdom of Heaven is within you., You are Sovereign, You have inalienable Rights, We have free will, etc. etc.
They all say the exact same thing; across the world, through time, across cultures, etc.
But, by the people that benefit from the dogma of the religion (and/or "government") AKA the Control Systems (taxes AKA "Tithes" e.g.), we are forced to believe that an intermediary is necessary; we CAN'T do it on our own. This teaching, whatever form it takes, is always at odds from the COMPLETE Primary Teaching.
Different religions push different types of separation from Source, pushing the idea of an external Source (YHWH AKA Adonai ("your Lord") or "Jesus is your Sovereign" e.g.), or that you should "focus your appreciation on the One" (Buddhism e.g.), effectively discouraging the Unique Experience (part of the Truth v. The Complete Primary Teaching).
There's just one Primary Teaching, it's always there in every single dogmatic system. I suggest it has to be there. The Truth is how they sell it. It resonates. It is "forbidden" not because it isn't shown, but because the dogma is pushed onto pieces of the "explanation" of the Truth (to the benefit of the Controller), obscuring the Primary Teaching.

The thing is, the highest truth actually CAN'T be shown...or read or written or explained in words...It can ONLY be experienced AND others can only point you in the general direction.
Few will ever know the greatest truth before death...it requires absolute stillness and silence & paying attention to no thought. It is deceptively simple in concept, but difficult for many to do.

One must adapt and not react to the freak out, or avoiding focused awareness to what you're attempting to do. Personally, I find that nearly always breaks the meditation process.
Not that failure should dissuade anyone, simply keep at it. Lucid dreaming and consciousness projection are very learnable.
2 Cor.12: 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a one was caught up to the third heaven. 3 And I know such a man—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows— 4 how he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
John 14:1-3
New King James Version
14 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
I had a similar, but not near death, experience. I grew up in a Christian family. If you asked, I would say I was a Christian. Then, when I was 18, I realized that after I died, I couldn't tell God, I'm with those people, and be able to go to heaven. I didn't like the alternative. So, as a legal matter, I decided to make sure I had done what was necessary to get into heaven. So, I confessed I was a sinner and asked Jesus to be my Savior. Immediately, my perception changed. it was like a curtain opened up to another dimension and God was there. And just like described, there was overflowing love that I had never experienced before. I found a verse later that described my experience. Romans 5:5 says, "Hope does not put us to shame, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us." And as the video showed, this love is not specific, it is just overflowing love like in John 3:16, "For God so love the world..."
God is light (1 John 1:5), God is life (1 John 5:11, 20), and God is love (1 John 4:8). That kind of sounds like what was drawing people out of the darkness.

They lock you up.
Then they crucify you if you try to tell people.
They smile in your face...
All the time they wanna take your place...
They're backstabbers...

Same boat. Car accident 1986. TBI. Etc.
Lonely road.
You are never alone. Your Mighty "I AM" presence within you is always with you.
He left out Heaven
2 Cor.12: 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a one was caught up to the third heaven. 3 And I know such a man—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows— 4 how he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
