As much as we might not like to think about it, it seems plausible that in some cases the NDE itself is something of a "siren's song" that as you put it has to be intentionally weighted against by reminders of loved ones that still need you.

So whether it's NDEs or Reincarnation, it seems - again in some cases - that there is a natural phenomena that one has to work with much in the same way technology has to get around the limitations imposed by physics. This seems to extend even to the questions of design in our clearly imperfect mortal existence.

Fair point, Sci which is why I prefer to concentrate in the main on veridical NDE's during cardiac arrest (sans functioning brain). Just one of those falsifies materialism. (Super psi I don't take seriously)

If one accepts the basics of all this then of course that is possible, yes !
