It is similar to reports of NDEs where people encounter a shining Being which radiates complete love and acceptance and compassion. They might believe this to be God or Jesus or whatever; the possibility that it might be their own Higher Self seems too much to comprehend.

Such qualities of unconditional love, peace, joy and compassion are all qualities of the Soul, spontaneously arising from within.

Peace.
