More,rather than less :-) It takes a lot of picking and discarding the
accretions over the centuries to find the core of what is going
on...describing a spiritual experience is like describing your love for
your mother...even if you could do it EXACTLY, it wouldn't be heard
exactly.

Or perhaps caused more fear. Thinking about heaven is supposed to lessen
that.

-> Nowadays, people can be revived after having "died."
Yes, only recently for what? an hour? A Loooong time. Death will never
happen to me. For 'me'' will not exist. OR, take the view of parallel
