What NDEs say
Yes. During the life review, you become the other person and feel exactly what they felt, not what you imagined they felt.
The accounts describe something more total than empathy. One person found himself living through every moment of pain he had caused, but from the other person's point of view 1. He was not watching from outside. He was that person and himself at the same time, experiencing two perspectives in the same moment. He felt their actual thoughts, their actual pain, not his guess about what they might have felt.
This pattern appears across multiple accounts. You do not get to filter the experience through your own assumptions 23. You feel what they felt, exactly as they felt it. One woman described this as the hardest part of the life review, because the weight of regret for how you affected others is so much heavier than anything done to you 4. The pain you caused does not stay abstract or theoretical.

If this feels frightening, the accounts suggest that is part of the point. The life review is not punishment. It is clarity. You finally see the full truth of your actions, and that truth includes the unfiltered experience of the people you hurt. What you do with that knowledge now, while you are still here, is the question that matters.
