No, not at all.  My point was that because I wasn't at the end of my life, but still experiencing one element of what has been reported, I didn't have anything close to a NDE - nothing spiritual about it at all. My other point was that when many people report their own experiences, and some of those experiences have rather similar parts to them, that is something I just can't ignore.

Exactly. The human body reacts to stress in a similar way from one body to the next.
Reflexes, adrenalin, etc. all spike or wane and can produce a similar experience.
Nothing magical about "near death" at all. Not surprising people recall common reactions.

I can't ignore coincidental events either. A mammal shuts down, but recovers just in time.
Close call, lucky, second chance, whatever. Life-changing simply because...

Nothing religious about any of that from my point of view. Revises personal philosophy about life, perhaps.
