A study of near-death experiences reveals that they are largely subjective, and dictated by the belief systems of the people experiencing them.

Why Near-Death Experiences Are Different by Kevin Williams


Given this, and given that people vary in belief sets, expectations, etc, what would you want to see if you died suddenly?

Every being, every place and every thing I've ever loved.

Peace of some kind. Maybe just another world to explore for another 80 years, then die and end up in another world. I certainly wouldn't want to remain in the same place for more than 150 years. After a while it would get... boring.

This is like asking what TV program I'd like to see when I turn my TV off. The answer is zip, nada, rien, nothing.

Not at all surprised by the study, as that's what I've long suspected about NDEs. They are what we want them to be.

I think when I go, I just want a sense of peace and reassuring. Something to tell me it's OK to let go and move on.

If there really would be anything, I'd like to see that everyone I love will live in a world that has become a much better place. I would then truly RIP.
If reality doesn't allow that, I would rather be only shown that they love me enough to forget how imperfect I was.
