Readily explainable by your system flooding itself with emergency chemicals to the point of delirium.
I imagine Christians tend to see Jesus a lot during these experiences. I also imagine Muslims tend to see Allah a lot during these experiences. Never doubt your brains ability to go nuts and give itself delusions based on pre existing information and beliefs.
Although I
am interested in the role of Dimethyltryptamine being released from the pineal gland during near death experiences as people who have taken it on a recreational basis have all descibed fairly similar, transcendent experiences involving the ego moving to another world coupled with the pineal glands mythological position as being the minds eye. Fascinating thing, that pineal gland. Everyone should look it up. It's jazzy.
Yes, that's right, we all have a psychedelic drug floating around in our brains. It's everywhere in the ecosystem.
