3) God gives people advice about living their lives during NDE experiences - is such advice worth listening to, or is it BS?. . .

Of course, this is an overgeneralization. Most NDEs do not include meeting with God(s), friends, or family at all, much less recieving advice from them

This sort of study could be conducted using Ketamine to induce NDEs.

I've had ketamine-induced OOBEs several times, and never recieved anything remotely resembling specific advice from God. I did have visions of all kinds of entities on high doses of psilocybin, as well as most of the phenomenological features that are associated with NDEs, but none of these entities actually gave me any advice. . . which is too bad, because I'm sure the flaming, rainbow-colored, Felix-the-Cat who was riding on the turtle in my vision had something really important to say. And I've been with plenty of friends while they've had similar experiences. None ever reported actually explicitly recieving advice. Putative communications with entities is much more common with smoked or IV DMT, however (se Strassman, 1994. DMT: The Spirit Molecule). Here I have no experience, however.
