“… 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…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””
(Fr Seraphim Rose in “The Soul After Death”) {Deception]
