The understanding here is consciousness. An NDE is where the person is conscious and is perhaps not so much of a gateway as a window, it gives the person a glimpse of how an AfterLife may be perceived as Spirit. It could also be that their astral bodies have 'detached' and they are seeing from an astral projection perspective. If people don't experience anything, it only means that their consciousness has 'stalled' for want of a better expression. Consciousness is outside of time, as the phrase "time flies when you're enjoying yourself" comes from.
While someone is unconscious the physical body is still processing signals to the brain and the brain will 'register' them, but that doesn't mean that we become conscious of it.
There is consciousness and what we are conscious of, and they are two very different beasties. In both cases consciousness remains because after they 'come back', they are still conscious. The difference is what they were conscious of at the time. It has nothing to do with an AfterLife and any sceptics who want to use unconsciousness as proof of the non-existence of an AfterLife should look to their egos first and foremost. If they were that clever they'd do their homework.
