WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I DIE?
Cartoon: Floating up to heaven with wings
Eastern contemplatives had already produced a great amount of literature on dying, death and the after-death experience long before Kubler-Ross and others came on the scene, however, the nature of consciousness and its’ possible survival after death is a very difficult subject for the Western mind to contemplate, not only because it cannot be scientifically falsified, but because even highly trained contemplative practitioners who report on afterlife consciousness describe it as very confusing.
Add to this a liberal dusting of speculation, doctrine and bullshit and you may, understandably, reach a conclusion that its best to wait-and-see!
But if you don’t want to wait and see you can check out these videos:

Past Life Regression and Reincarnation with Andy Tomlinson
• Jurgen Ziewe, author of Multidimensional Man, investigates states beyond the out-of-body experience in this video: ‘The Superdimensions - What is Heaven like?'
The following is a distillation of some of the Eastern and Western literature, and information and personal exploration regarding ‘Life After Death’:

1. YOUR AWARENESS CONTINUES.
2. EVERYTHING YOU BELIEVE COMES TRUE.
(If you believe you’re going to heaven with background music supplied by the ASO (Angel’s Symphony Orchestra) whilst you’re draped across a chaise longue being fed peeled grapes by cherubim then, sure as the Pope’s a catholic, that’s what you’ll get!)

3. YOU REALLY HAVE TO BELIEVE IT!.
(The problem with belief is that things are not that straight forward: You see, no matter how strongly you hold positive and useful conscious beliefs they won’t add up to a hill of beans when the time comes to shuffle off this mortal coil, if, in your subconscious you hold opposing beliefs).


It’s these shady, sneaky little buggers - the negative and pernicious subconscious beliefs laying quietly behind the scenes - the ones you might have shoved into the shadows of your mind - that have the real power. These are the ones that get under the radar to create your immediate ‘afterlife'.

THE RULES ARE THE SAME ON BOTH SIDES

The Near Death Experience - An Interview with Dr Elizabeth Kubler-Ross:

‘Death is simply a shedding of the physical body like the buttefly shedding its cocoon. It is a transition to a higher state of consciousness where you continue to perceive, to understand, to laugh, and to be able to grow.’
(Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross was a Swiss-born psychiatrist and leading authority on death and dying. Time magazine named Elisabeth Kubler-Ross as one of the “100 Most Important Thinkers”).

Dr. Brian Weiss: Past-Life Skeptic to Past-Life Believer:

Dr. Brian Weiss, author of Many Lives, Many Masters; a traditional psychotherapist who launched into past life regression after one of his patients began recalling past life traumas that seemed to hold the key to her recurring nightmares and anxiety attacks. She began to channel messages from “the space between lives,” which contained remarkable revelations about Dr. Weiss’s family and his deceased son. Using past life therapy, he was able to cure the patient and embark on a career as a researcher and author on post-death experience.

THE RULES ARE THE SAME:

Roger Woolger talks of his personal journey and how he developed his form of past life therapy. Roger J. Woolger, PhD, is a British-born Jungian analyst, past-lives therapist and creator of Integral Regression Therapy. Roger is internationally known as a pioneer in the area of transpersonal psychology. His book on past life therapy, Other Lives, Other Selves, is considered a dfinitive work in the field.

Near Death Experiences:

(Charles) Bruce Greyson (born October 1946) is Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia. He is co-author of Irreducible Mind (2007) and co-editor of The Handbook of Near-Death Experiences (2009). Greyson has written many journal articles, and has given media interviews, on the subject of near death experiences. Is consciousness caused by the brain? (Also with Dr. Bruce Grayson).

Dr Peter Fenwick on Near Death Experience:

Peter Brooke Cadogan Fenwick is a neuropsychiatrist and neurophysiologist who is known for his studies of epilepsy and end-of-life phenomena. He has collected and analysed more than 300 examples of near-death experiences. He has been criticised by the medical community for claiming that human consciousness can survive bodily death. Fenwick argues that human consciousness may be more than just a function of the brain.
“The plain fact is that none of us understands these phenomena. As for the soul and life after death, they are still open questions, though I myself suspect that NDEs are part of the same continuum as mystical experiences.”

Graceful Exits

Written by Sushila Blackman (Southampton University Research into NDEs) when she was faced with her own impending death through lung cancer. She came to peace with her own fears with on completion of this book, only a few months before she died. Graceful Exits offers valuable insights into the Hindu, Tibetan Buddhist, and Zen view death.,

We create our reality:

Frederick Travis, PhD, director of the Center for Brain, Consciousness and Cognition, explains that the concept “We create our reality” is more than a philosophical statement. It is a physical reality driven by neural plasticity—every experience changes the brain. Therefore, choose transcendental experiences and higher states of consciousness naturally unfold.
