I once had a NDE. During it, I experienced what I perceived to being welcomed into Heaven by two siblings (one since deceased). The feeling being there was of pure, absolute joy, love, total omniscience and forgiveness.

When we communicated, it was like we were stars speaking to each other telepathically - kind of like the scene of God talking to Clarence in "It's A Wonderful Life" - the blinking stars. After just a brief moment of being there, I heard familiar jingling and I looked around excitedly. My sister said, "Yeah, he's here, too," referring to my beloved dog (also since deceased). The jingling was the sound his dog tags made.

Disclaimer: I have never been a "religious" person, never attended church much and have very limited knowledge of the Bible. However, the above is pretty much the totality of what I experienced, in what was basically an OD. Soon afterward, I came back to Earth, so to speak. (Or maybe I really did.)
