I would be most interested in reports which didn’t compliment already held beliefs. Over the centuries, the near-death experiences I’ve heard of always seem to mirror the current culture. In the fifteenth century they saw heaven as a person of the fifteenth century would—They didn’t report seeing any invention/science/gizmos that they weren’t already familar with.

If a Catholic would report no purgatory and not seeing Mary, that would be interesting, just as having an evangelical report seeing purgatory and Mary would be; or a Buddhist seeing Jesus, etc. It just doesn’t seem to happen though.

Why would God scare them with technology they weren't familiar with? That's not central to His message of love.
