Hello Tarantulanebula,
Max_B asked me to share my full experience, so I just posted it. Perhaps reading the full account will ease some of your fears. I responded to your direct questions below.
"Dear beyondmortality, having read your post, I have a question, sorry if that would offend you, my sense is, your description of your experience makes me a bit dread.
Since many people walked into that light without noticing you. This makes me guess that whether they are obsessed or be mentally controlled by some dark force?"
I can't say for sure why the others could not see me. My guess would be that they already passed. I was standing at the threshold, so not completely in either the spiritual or mortal world. The one aspect that bothers me still to this day is why I saw my co-worker who was very much alive. I really wonder if she was experiencing near death at the same time I was.
It was so beautiful and so peaceful inside the the light there is no doubt in my mind that this was a pure and sacred place. This is not a place where demons walk.
The other thing is I could not simply walk into the light. I had to will it. It had to be my choice to enter the light. So I don't think a demon can be on the other side drawing people in.

"OK, there is another possibility, that is, nders are all hiding some truth which they dare not say or they clearly know that they shouldn't tell, for some reasons. In this case, I would not like to ask you for an opinion on this. I respect you very very much. If you say it's pleasant, then I'm glad that it's pleasant to you, however if you say it's terrifying, then I want to cuddle you and solace you that there will be your beloved ones always accompanying you so please don't feel frightened."
I had a couple of reasons not to discuss it. The first was the inability of others to understand. When my ex husband stood there with a blank look on his face, I realized language is meaningless in describing the experience. Our reality in the mortal world is not the same as the spiritual world.
Humans share a common reality. It's difficult for people to understand experiences outside that reality. For example, the average person cannot understand what it feels like to walk on the moon because we have not walked on the moon. But the astronauts that have walked on the moon can discuss it with each other with clarity and understanding because they've all experienced it.
The other reason I hesitate to discuss it with people is most people just think you're crazy. it was a very moving experience for me. I don't want the value of that experience diminished by people's judgments.
I really like this form because people can talk very openly on these types of subjects without all the judgment.
The experience for most is quite beautiful so there really is no reason not to disclose the details.

"Not many other Chinese people think things the way I think, it seems no Chinese people worry about the things I worry about."
My mother was Japanese, born and raised in Japan. The Japanese have their superstitious, but on a daily basis they are more focused on hard work and success.
Since my mother was very superstitious, I am also superstitious to some degree. Like mother, like daughter. The Japanese do not like the number four. I avoid the number 4 at all costs. The number 4 is very bad luck. It is the number of death because the word for the number 4 and death sound the same in Japanese.
Some years ago my ex husband wanted to buy a house, but the address was number 4. I told him we cannot buy this house. I kept calling it the Dead House. We bought a house across the street. Some months later the Dead House was purchased by a woman. She introduced herself then told me she just relocated to the area and bought that house because her husband had just died.
Coincidence I know, but eerie nonetheless. And more reason to avoid the number 4.
