What do you think death feels like ?

I really felt nothing and it was very peaceful. Then I got saved.

What was it like getting saved? I'm assuming you mean saved from death, not religiously saved.

Natural death? Falling asleep
Traumatic death? Lights out. Don’t feel much of any

Is it a cliche if that is what many people have experienced in near death experiences?

So far, there’s been little mention of the religious tropes so many of us were taught to believe.

What about pearly gates, meeting God, reunions with Grandma, sitting on a cloud playing a harp?

Surely some of the people here aren’t expecting to just die. What about God?

Feels like nothing. You’re just dead

OP didn’t mention God but mentioned about the awareness of the presence of others.

I had sepsis and until they figured out the right drug combination I was dying. I was aware I was dying but was not scared. Peaceful. Like you just sort of drift off.

I think our time on earth is purgatory. I think life as we know it is a second chance with good and evil (God and the devil) challenging us along the way. How you choose to respond, live your life, will determine your reality when you leave your body for the afterlife (heaven or hell).

Like an orgasm. (In French they call orgasm “le petit mort” — the little death. I think they have the right idea.)

In this state you are going to lose sense of self but you will have awareness of the presence of others.
I think that is how we exited before birth.

I don’t know personally as I have never died physically.

However, I have enjoyed several shows documenting people who technically died for a short length of time and then came back to this life. Many described similar experiences. Nearly all described feeling much less afraid of death now and not wanting to leave the peaceful states they found themselves in. A couple described a hell like experience (dark, heavy, alone, oppressive) and completely changed their life priorities after returning to this life. If you watch any of them, please report back as to your impressions.

You sound Catholic, mentioning purgatory, but purgatory is part of the afterlife, as any Catholic knows, and it's not here on earth.

It sounds like you just made up your own theology, which I don't think any religion allows.

Interesting. I wonder if the tunnel is the equivalent of a birth canal? Delighted to hear about the consciousness. That is reassuring to me.

Sounds like people are making a lot of money exploiting people's interest in what happens after death.

But if you're truly a Christian, you already know. You learned about it in Sunday School and hear about it in church and from other people.
