“… The peace and pleasantness of the out of body experience may be considered real and not a deception. Deception enters in, however, the instant one begins to interpret these natural feelings as something spiritual – as though this peace was the true peace and reconciliation with God and the pleasantness where the true spiritual pleasure of heaven. This is in fact how many people interpret their out of body and after death experiences, because of their lack of true spiritual experience and awareness. That this is a mistake may be seen from the fact that even the crudest unbelievers have the same experience of pleasantness when they “die””
