This is only speculation. Because I amdit don't know for certain.

Let's say a boss is about to fire, or promote you.

He may show you things you did right / wrong [life review].

As you're boss is showing / telling you this, your conscious may then feel good / bad about this [self-judgement]. However, this doesn't mean, the boss isn't also judging you at the same time, but you don't know your boss's feelings / decision / judgment about you.

This could also be used, as a warning / caution. For example, when Howard Storm, was given his life review. He saw scenes of things he did both right and wrong. From this, he learned from the experience / life-review, and then corrected the bad choices he made in the past.

Hell is not an easy concept for me to come to terms with. However, as already stated, some of the strongest and best NDE cases, where veridical is obtained from deceased family members, confirms the existence of hell.

These cases are even stronger, in my opinion, than Pam's case, in which veridical was not obtained about the deceased but rather limited to her surroundings.

There's a good NDE by a lawyer, Nanci Danison (she's a non-Christian and wrote 'Backwards: returning to our source for answers'. From what she found, the realm was influenced by her thoughts. For example, as she thought of a pasture, a pasture then appeared.

This is why, I believe the veridical info about the deceased in the NDE is so important. This helps rule out, that the experience was not merely based on beliefs / expectations.

Not only this, but other areas of study, such as Demonology confirms hell. Again, I use the same high criteria (veridical info), when examining legit possessions, to rule out the person isn't merely suffering from a mental illness. In these legit cases, hell is further confirmed.
