@Pluto watched some of the experiences shared on NDE channel and found out what my difficulty is: when I listen to these people I always think this is how a spiritual experience has to be, like if there was a right and wrong.
I agree, and I appreciate the conversation since I'm kind of reflecting on the same issue right now.
If the topic is explored properly, the litmus test for anything God-related is that it should equate to
oneness.
Fail
That immediately exposes the traditional Abrahamic God as full of dualistic red flags. The dualities include separation from humanity (God vs. man), good and evil, heaven and hell; they even go so far as to make it a male God. It is a reflection of the personal biases of the men who invented it. You'll notice it getting debunked over and over in NDE reports.
In fact, some of the most primitive and violent people in the world are proponents of this imaginary God, including most terrorists.
Pass
In Vedantic philosophy, the name
Brahman is given to ultimate reality. Because it is the essence of everything in existence, that also means it is our own true nature. Brahman can also be equated with consciousness. As one sage put it, "God is man minus ego." Hence, the goal is a subtractive process of removing the false
identity to discover ourselves as Brahman.
Most NDEs describe God as an incredibly bright light of unconditional love. This is still not the highest reality since it represents a particular form and a separate entity, but it still gets a pass. Some experiences describe feelings of oneness with everything - even life reviews offer a rudimentary form of this. Researcher Kevin Williams used the word God as synonymous with
life.
Neale Donald Walsch's theology goes into detail about the cosmic purpose for human life. That oneness/God could not know itself unless it created the illusion of separation.
