Wow peripa...quite an experience you've had!
Thoughts of God arise only in anticipation of events, when one prays and commits all sorts of things to God eg breaking coconuts, visiting temples etc. oftentimes these promises are forgotten after the event.
When one is in the midst of an event, thoughts of God, or indeed anything at all...are rare. The natural response in such situations is Fight or Flight. Without realising it, you have chosen to fight, by freezing! Good for you. Now that it's all over, you have a tale to tell your great grand children.
Love, Jayashankar
