We will never know the truth of the matter. But one thing is certain. We did come out of that abyss that we are going to return to once again.
I've read a number of accounts of NDE's, mostly but not all positive. Some have even included hearing and knowing things with no explanation because their body was not in the room. And often people have been changed much for the better due to what happened to them.
NDE is a local phenomenon, that is in the person's mind. It is not related to anything else, i.e., last gymnastic of mind. Then either the person is revived or he dies. If the person revives, he/she is not likely to have a clear remembrance of what his/her mind imagined. Most people will make up stories.
Wikipedia reports this: For the second patient, however, it was possible to verify the accuracy of the experience and to show that awareness occurred paradoxically some minutes after the heart stopped, at a time when "the brain ordinarily stops functioning and cortical activity becomes isoelectric." The experience was not compatible with an illusion, imaginary event or hallucination since visual (other than of ceiling shelves' images) and auditory awareness could be corroborated.[33]
So what some people do is not important. What can be verified is important.
Out of a 100 patients, only one is somewhat believable with the condition "when the brain ordinarily stops functioning and cortical activity becomes isoelectric." What if it was not among those ordinary cases and the brain was still functioning? How many minutes after heart stopped functioning?Wikipedia reports this: For the second patient, however, it was possible to verify the accuracy of the experience and to show that awareness occurred paradoxically some minutes after the heart stopped, at a time when "the brain ordinarily stops functioning and cortical activity becomes isoelectric."

It is a white-out after death and not a black-out. As simple as that.The indescribable light and love that is impossible to articulate in mere words is at the foundation.
I see no descernible difference with pre conception and post decomposition. Everything that made 'you' will still be there intact and good as ever.Your term "abyss" may be certain to you, but not certain in the slightest for me.
