First, I wanted to thank you for taking the time to provide such a thoughtful response / insight.
These experiences either fall into two camps:
(Option 1) Just chemical interference in the brain that leads to the illusion of a divine experience
(Option 2) An actual connection to a divine / experience / out of body event
If you believe in option (1), (just chemical interference and everything is internal) then it's reasonable to dismiss particulars of the trip and accept others. Your brain is merely developing random dream sequence events of which some are reasonable / profound and some are not.
If you believe in option (2) then you're more so forced to accept the event in its entirely, (i.e. "you will not live beyond this existence"). The "You will not live beyond this existence" realization comes on the heels of several other deep realizations that were very personal to me (i.e. this 'thing' seemed to peer directly into my soul and reveal truths about myself) thus building up credibility. It even claimed that it intervened and destroyed a package I was to receive due to the evil nature of the contents. It really showed me layers of perception - how much of reality I was missing.
I suppose there is an (option 3) that could open the door for misinterpretation or perhaps a "truth but not the whole truth" type scenario. If you are dealing with an external entity then there is no guarantee that entity has to be truthful.
I'm not sure. "Gnomes" were singing matter and energy into existence seems completely absurd unless you've gone through one of these situations then it doesn't seem so absurd. Very interesting. Your experience of quantum mechanics is similar to that of the video posted.
