Dr. Bruce Greyson has been studying and interviewing people who have reported near-death experiences for over 40 years. He recently published a book about them called "After": A Doctor Explores what near-death experiences reveal about life and beyond." - It's a fascinating read and you'll be captivated by people's experiences.
At the end of the book, he goes over 7 takeaways from people who had "NDE experiences" - and how they affected the people who returned from death in various ways. Read the book.
Most NDE experiences were very positive in changing the way people viewed life and they treated others much better. A few wallowed in sadness. For the most part, though, people reported similar things - peace, calmness, seeing themselves outside of their body and looking at it, some even seeing and describing living people in other places at the time of their NDE (which wouldn't be possible if they didn't leave their bodies).
The majority of people who reported NDEs refer to "hearing" or "feeling a presence." - Only those who were very religious and had a pre-conceived expectation of the other side called the presence "God," but couldn't describe it. However, most other NDE patients didn't call it "God" They described it as a positive, calming, energy of love and peace.
One of the takeaways here is that the mind and the brain are not the same. Dr. Greyson makes a good case for this, and I'm in total agreement. I've met several people who have experienced NDEs, and their experiences are similar to others cited in this book.
This is a MUST READ.
