Is there any explanation as to why some people see demons/flames while on their deathbed?

Lately, I’ve been having terrible anxiety about Hell and have zero peace of mind, as I find conflicting answers everywhere. I’m talking about feeling scared and thinking about it from the time I wake up, to the time I go to bed and I haven’t been sleeping good at all because of it. I am not a Christian, but I have fallen down the rabbit hole of what they believe.

I have read some things about people on their deathbeds seeing demons, feeling fire and screaming things like "Please don’t let them take me!" And "It's so hot! The fire is so hot!" Until they die and this has left me terrified of death, to the point where I can't even focus on enjoying life.

These were just random comments on a video of a hospice nurse talking about deathbed visions that were positive. The hospice nurse was saying that she never saw people screaming about Hell, but people in the comments were talking about experiences that they've witnessed and that she was wrong to tell people that this never happens. These were actually under a Hospice Julie video.

Normally, I would think that people were having these experiences because they believe that they would. But I’ve read NDE stories and deathbed stories about people seeing things/beings that didn’t line up with their religion or beliefs at all, so it’s kinda hard to deny that Hell exists when there are stories and evidence like that out there and it brings me so much anxiety about death and what would even qualify as bad enough to go to Hell.

My brain just keeps telling me that things like spirits of loved ones giving messages through mediums or positive NDEs, or anything positive about the other side that isn’t Biblical, is all just deception/illusions from the enemy, because of what Christians say.. Is there any explanation as to why this happens besides it being their beliefs? Because There’s some evidence out there from what I’ve read and belief doesn’t always play a part in things like these..

They are raised in a way to believe there is nothing but evil in the world. After most of their lives have come and gone they have a terrifying outlook on the world and this mean they have a terrifying outlook on what might come next. For lay people, basically, if you are raised to believe in demons and hell and you do not dismiss it, that’s what you will because that’s the story you and your family said for your life. And if someone is Christian and devoted and see hell it is because they feel they weren’t good enough even being Christian. Since they have heard the story of hell so long their feelings of not doing or being enough mean they feel they are going to hell.

My spiritual teacher does not talk of hell but she occasionally speaks demons. “Demons are the negative aspects of our selves.” Unless we raise our vibrations reflect and become better beings demons will always be there, but we have the power to purify them. I have heard other spiritual teachers say hell is very real, eternal but not as scary as what religions say. Because, it is the very planet apon which we live. Earth is hell. We will always come come back to it. We live. We die. We spend some time in spirit school, then we are born to families on this planet Earth again. If like me your life has been very challenging, that’s pretty scary having to come back here over and over all the time. If we raise our vibration, reflect and more often than not choice kindness, sensitivity, compassion over their opposites will don’t have to come to comeback after we’ve died and we might just make Earth a heaven of sorts.

I have learned in recent years demonology rose Jews and Christians being bigoted against the the gods other religions. Now of course some gods deserved it, like Ancient Greece’s Zeus and exclusive war deities and some Aztec and Mayan gods. The typical shape of a classic Jewish/Christia demon comes from some odd looking Druinic deities. You know, tails and horns maybe wings. If, as our ancient ancestors believed, these things existed then in many ways it would have been the oldest form of racism. My point is demons were commonly made out of older gods and the gods of other religions to legitimize new reign. As for hell, what little I know about Mayan and ancient Egyptian mythology is that while hell was unpleasant it was also the path to heaven. If these dying people really did see something (unlikely) maybe it was an ugly god wishing to pay homage to a person’s life lived pretty well, and they will guide their soul past unpleasant “hell”.

What I have heard about out of body experience is that they reflect the beliefs, attitudes, wonders and worries of the people who have them. In short if you believe in hell, worry about hell thats where you are going. If you don’t worry about it you won’t go. If you want to experience “Hell” keep posting this kind of thing.
