TRICK OF THE LIGHT: THE LIGHT & TUNNEL TRAP

"And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." -- 2 Corinthians 11:14, The Bible, New International Version **

"After the natural structure of the immortal beings had completely developed out of the infinite, a likeness then emanated from Pistis (Faith); it is called Sophia (Wisdom). It exercised volition and became a product resembling the primeval light. And immediately her will manifested itself as a likeness of heaven, having an unimaginable magnitude; it was between the immortal beings and those things that came into being after them, like . . . : she (Sophia) functioned as a veil dividing mankind from the things above. Now the eternal realm (aeon) of truth has no shadow outside it, for the limitless light is everywhere within it. But its exterior is shadow, which has been called by the name darkness." -- ON THE ORIGIN OF THE WORLD, The Nag Hammadi Library

"She [Sophia] had been deluded through the god-like Self-willed [Demiurge], and had not been deluded through anything else, save through a light-power, because of its resemblance to the Light in which she had had faith." -- Pistis Sophia, Gnostic Text **

"Yaldabaoth [Demiurge] said to the authorities [archons] with him, Come, let us create a human being after the image of god and with a likeness to ourselves, so that this human image may give us light." -- The Secret Book of John, Nag Hammadi Texts **

"That alien, his Matrix, he was like the spider that has to lure a fly into his web... Do you think it's possible that each of the near death experiences we've heard about are the result of an alien inhabitation?" -- "Coda" episode, Star Trek Voyager **

"Be not fond of the dull smoke-colored light from hell... Remember the clear light, the pure clear white light from which everything in the universe comes, to which everything in the universe returns; the original nature of your own mind. The natural state of the universe unmanifest. Let go into the clear light, trust it, merge with it. It is your own true nature, it is home." -- Tibetan Book of the Dead, an instruction manual on how to navigate planes of the afterlife. ** **

"It seems like there's some kind of form that seems to be mostly light... Now I'm seeing something different. Seems almost like a... leathery, almost amphibian-type skin... The caring is really evident in the eyes. The face I saw is gone... I feel like they're... it's like light, some kind of light that's making me calm. It's calming. It seems to be emanating from whoever's around me... I just get feelings of love... it seems like they only want me to remember them as light." -- abductee, Sherry, from Dr. Edith Fiore's book, "Encounters"

"All the fifty years of conscious brooding have brought me no closer to answer the question, 'What are light quanta?' Of course today every rascal thinks he knows the answer, but he is deluding himself.... For the rest of my life I will reflect on what light is." -- Albert Einstein **

It is they [Grey aliens] who await in the light when a human being dies. The human being is then recycled into another body and the process begins all over again... Hence the Light and Tunnel at death Trap. Scanning someone they wish to recycle as they near death, the aliens discover who the person was close to has died. They project the person(s) image in the white light tunnel and the image waves you in deeper. If you CHOOSE to follow you can be trapped and sent to another incarnation of their choice... these entities view Earth as a big farm." -- Val Valerian, Matrix II & Matrix V

THE NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE (NDE) & THE LIGHT

NDEs in general

A Gallop poll in 1982 reported that about 5 percent of the American population has experienced an NDE. That means over 16 million Americans alone have had one. A German survey in 1998 reported 4.2 percent. This means that likely over 34 million people worldwide have had NDEs.



Dr. Jeffrey Long and his wife, Jody, have compiled an enormous database of over 4000 near dear experiences and included them in a web site, nderf.org. Jeffrey and Paul Perry have a 2017 book based on 3000 of those studies named God and the Afterlife, but in their 2011 book Evidence of the Afterlife, they included statistics from 617 near death experiences so I doubt the newer findings vary that much from the original ones. 64.6 percent of the near death experiencers surveyed said they saw a light (The updated 2017 book says 64.8 percent). That means 35.4 percent -- over a third -- didn't even see a light during their NDE let alone go to one. 95.8 percent of NDErs said the NDE was "definitely real". 74.4 percent actually reported had "more consciousness and alertness than normal" (the 2017 book says 74.4 also). 66.4 percent had no knowledge of NDEs before the incident. From the book: "The results of the study are astonishing. Of the 617 near-death-experience accounts, 287 (46.5 percent) described OBEs that contained observations of earthly events that would allow others to objectively assess the reality of their observations. Of this group of 287 OBErs, 280 (97.6 percent) were found to have had out-of-body experiences that were entirely realistic and lacked any content that was unrealistic. Finally, of the 287 OBErs, 65 (23 percent) of the OBErs described personally investigating the accuracy of their own OBE observations following their NDE. None of these 65 OBErs described any inaccuracy in their OBE observations based on their later investigations."The updated 2017 book says 96.2 percent said their experience was "definitely real", 74.9 percent experienced a "separation of consciousness from the body" (OBE), 74.4 percent had more consciousness or alertness than normal, 64.8 percent saw a light, 33.2 percent went through a tunnel or enclosure, and 21.8 percent had a life review.Pim van Lommel



NDE researcher Pim van Lommel also published a book, Consciousness Beyond Life, in 2011 that contained many statistics. the Dutch title of his book is "Eindeloos bewustzijn" which would literally translate as "Endless consciousness". He writes about a Dutch study, "The Dutch study was published in The Lancet in December 2001. Within a four-year period, between 1988 and 1992, 344 consecutive patients who had undergone a total of 509 successful resuscitations were included in the study... Our study found that 282 patients (82 percent) had no recollection of the period of their unconsciousness whereas 62 patients (18 percent of the 344 patients) did report an NDE. Of these 62 patients with memories, 21 patients had some recollection; having experienced only a few elements, they had a superficial NDE with a low score. A total of 18 patients had a moderately deep NDE, 17 patients reported a deep NDE, and 6 patients had a very deep NDE.



Frequency of NDE Elements in the 62 Patients:

Awareness of being dead: 31 (50 percent)

Positive emotions: 35 (56 percent)

out-of-body experience: 15 (24 percent)

Moving through a tunnel: 19 (31 percent)

Communicating with “the light”: 14 (23 percent)

Perception of colors: 14 (23 percent)

Perception of a “celestial landscape”: 18 (29 percent)

Meeting with deceased friends and relatives: 20 (32 percent)

Life review: 8 (13 percent)

Presence of a border: 5 (8 percent)"

This means that only 14 of the overall 344 patients, or 4 percent, communicated with "the light". So van Lommel says that only 23 percent of those who reprted having an NDE actually communicated with "the light". He included dark space as one of the common NDEs experienced. He writes, "People feel like they are pulled rather abruptly into a dark space, which they describe as an enclosed space, a void, or a well. Approximately 15 percent of people experience their stay in this dark space as frightening." So that means, according to the book, 85 percent of those experiences in the dark were not perceived as frightening. Van Lommel writes, "Perhaps 1 to 2 percent of people with a near-death experience linger in a frightening dark space, unable to escape."

Van Lommel writes about the NDE research of Kenneth Ring: "Ring starts with the affective phase, which includes feelings of absolute peace, calm, surrender, and bliss, with the end of pain. This phase is nearly always experienced as positive and occurs in 60 percent of all cases. For Ring the second phase is leaving the body and is reported in 37 percent of all cases. Whereas some people’s experience is limited to the sensation of no longer having a body and not feeling any more pain or restrictions, others can actually see their lifeless body and their surroundings from a position outside and above their body. They can clearly see and hear what is being said. They feel detached from their body and experience themselves as complete and transparent. In the third phase (23 percent), people arrive in a dark, usually peaceful environment. Some linger in this phase while others hurtle through a tunnel toward a nonblinding, exceptionally bright light, which radiates unconditional love and acceptance. This fourth phase is described by 16 percent. The fifth and final phase (10 percent) consists of entering another, unearthly dimension of unbelievable beauty, where people hear beautiful music and occasionally meet deceased friends and family." If correct, that might mean that only about a quarter of the 64.6 of NDErs from NDERF who saw a light actually went to it. And, more importantly, Ring's findings seem to imply that people are in darkness before they even reach the stage where they go through a tunnel and into the light.

Van Lommel also writes about a study that a doctor, Michael Sabom, did. He writes,"The second category covers the description of objects and events that transcend the earthly dimension (transcendental characteristics), described by 54 percent of the NDErs as a stay in a dark space or void, accompanied by feelings of peace. This was usually followed by an encounter with a brilliant and nonblinding light at the end of a tunnel, after which people found themselves in an unearthly or heavenly environment."

My research

I have talked at length in the past on near death experiences, focusing more on what happens when one goes to the white light. Check out this transcript from June 2017 of an interview I did with Marc Gray where I went into detail on 50 or so aspects of NDEs: Interview with Marc Gray I won't repeat it here, but it is important to note that many near death experiencers report realizing that life is like a game or dream and that separation is an illusion, that we are all connected. And, most importantly, some realized they were able to manifest anything at will just by using intention. Yes, all near death experiencers that went to the light reported feeling an incredible "love". But there are many definitions for love and it usually results in a dependence on someone else. We hope that an external person will give us love because we are needy. We feel as though we don't have love within ourselves. So in a sense we are insufficient and are looking to someone else to coddle us and complete us? Heck, it could even be that our own love is being reflected back to us like a mirror.

But what we do know is that most are sent back against their will or coaxed into doing so. Some say they were given a choice, but how do we know they wouldn't have been forced to come back had they chosen to stay? In this world when someone is forced to do something against their will, it is a crime. If we take money against their will, it is stealing or robbery. If we take sex against their will, it is rape. If we take a life against their will, it is murder. But somehow this being of light gets a free pass as being loving? Love is also a verb, an action. We should look at the acts, not a feeling. Feelings of love are frequently manipulated to get what others want. There are cases where the light beings impersonate religious figures. There was one case where the near death spirit had to ask "Are you really the Virgin Mary?" before it showed it's "true" idenitity. Some would call this lying or being deceptive.

It seems to be the case that most, if not all, NDErs find themselves in the void or darkness immediately upon death. That would not be surprising if it is our natural state. Rarely, if ever, does one find themselves immediately in the light and in the few cases where they did they may have just forgotten how they got there or were not allowed to remember. Since that is where we find ourselves immediately at death, then perhaps the void or darkness is how we "see" the true nature of consciousness or awareness? Near death experiences in the Void are mostly positive. Maybe 1/4 to 1/3 of them are negative. But that is usually because we manifest our reality via Intention and they reacted to their programming of fear of the dark. Thus they manifested the experience through their fear.

Light vs. Dark. Good vs. Evil. Duality is so ingrained into our culture and symbolism. But what exactly is Light? It is said to possess the dual property of a photon particle yet also light waves. Light in our society has become synonymous with Goodness. It is said that God is Light and the Devil is the Prince of Darkness. Everything we see in the world is backwards or reverse because we see the REFLECTED light. Look in the mirror and your reflection is backwards. Your right eye is actually on the left side of the reflection and vice versa. We can only see something when light is reflected off of it.

The most definitive collection of NDEs I am aware of is on the web site NDERF.ORG where thousands of NDE stories are chronicled. I have analyzed hundreds of them and will present my findings here. First I will give an overview and then will include dozens of examples to back up my claims. NOTE: You can use the drop down menu at the very top of this page to navigate directly to some of the more important sections.

OVERVIEW

NDE researcher Jeff Long has compiled NDERF.org, a web site with over 4000 near death experiences. According to his book "Evidence of the Afterlife" around 3/4 of experiencers report an out of body experience, heightened senses and intense or generally positive emotions or feelings during their near death experience. Almost 2/3 reported encountering a mystical or brilliant light. And 1/3 reported passing into or through a tunnel.

According to my research. I think most souls at death find themselves initially in a void which is what the Tibetan Book of the Dead describes as the clear light. It's important to understand that by "clear light" they mean the "light" of your own awareness. It's not really any kind of visual "light", the word "light" is only an analogy here. It's the "Clear Light of the natural condition". It's not the light of some other deity, or any visual light. It's the natural "light" of your own awareness.



Many near death experiencers do find themselves imnediately in complete darkness or a void like place. One thing I have noticed about the void experiences is that the quality of the experience depends on the state of the individual having it. Most find the void to be very peaceful and pleasant. I estimate that between 2/3 and 3/4 of the void experiences seemed to be pleasant and peaceful. The void is neutrality and is a choice, including the choice of staying in this state or perhaps immediately manifesting any experience one would like.



Some are not prepared to be in such an empty place by themself alone with their consciousness. So some react in fear and manifest an unpleasant experience. So they start in the Void and then, not recognizing the Clear Light of awareness and the illusion of their self, interpret the void as darkness and loneliness. Then the fear and desperation start and evocates their fears. The fears start manifesting into hellish environment. The Tibetan Book of Dead states it clearly:

"May I not fear the bands of Peaceful and Wrathful [Deities], mine own thought-forms. May I recognize whatever appeareth as being mine own thought-forms, May I know them to be apparitions in the Intermediate State".



Others immediately look for a light or someone/something external to go to. the vast majority of near death experiencers -- I would say at least 90 or 95 percent -- insinuate they are more or less pulled to the light and "went to the light". Very few say they chose to go there. I think what happens is that most see an attractive, alluring, pretty light in the middle of vast darkness, and DESIRE to go there. Almost everybody that went to the Light loved the experience. I just find it odd that there wasn't more of a thought process involved. Many say they were pulled there like a magnet. Some say they chose to return, but many -- over 100 that I've counted so far -- say they were sent back against their will or after their feelings were manipulated. A lot of experiencers claim to almost immediately find themselves in a place of darkness or a void. Shortly they see a Light and find themselves being pulled toward the Light like a magnet through a vortex, tunnel or pipe which is swirling with all the colors of the rainbow and sometimes ones not known here on Earth -- even though the soul no longer has an earthly body with physical eyes. They also report hearing music or the tinkling of bells. The tunnel or funnel opens up into a bell shaped horn and the experiencer emerges on the other side into a bright Light reminiscent of a thousand Suns. They feel an incredible sense of Love, euphoria and oneness with the Light who is actually a Being who some associate with God. Sometimes this being or other beings will give the experiencer a choice as to what form they would like the Being to appear as which shows that these beings in the astral realm are shape shifters and able to transform at will. Many say the Light as a collective soul and feel the urge to merge with it. My friend whom I interviewed called the Light 'spaceship Heaven' or a cubed spaceship. There are over 30 accounts on the NDERF web site where aliens were seen during the NDE. In addition to a sense of euphoria the experiencers claim to have access to all knowledge available to them. There are many reports of crystal structures or a crystal city. Sometimes they are told they are not allowed to stay, but must return to Earth because it is "not yet their time" or they have a mission to accomplish. They return through the tunnel and typically forget much of the knowledge they were given and usually whatever mission they are to fulfill. They often say we are here to learn lessons. If everything is known in the Light then it is logical to ask what would be the need to return to Earth?

There are even accounts where the Light beings admit they can and do take any form they choose in order to make the experiencer feel comfortable. These thousands of near death experiences cooroborate everything I have been saying on my web site for over ten years now. I'll provide dozens of examples of how near death experiencers validate my claims, but first here are a dozen or two excerpts from the personal testimonies of those who claim to have learned that life here is a game, an illusion, a holographic virtual reality or simulation.

=== END OF OVERVIEW ===

NDES & THE GAME OF LIFE

In reality I do remember the feeling that life was sort of like a game, maybe even a game I had chosen a role to play in, and that I felt as if I had played it fairly and squarely and kindly. I felt very good about the life I'd seen, and very happy with it and with those I had played it with. -- Monty I asked him what the meaning of life is. He told me "for the entertainment of the spirit realm." -- David J ** I was also reminded that the reason we leave the celestial realm at all was for the excitement, variety, adventure, and entertainment that different incarnations offer... As one entity jokingly remarked, 'If the eternal, divine part of us grows tired of singing and playing harps, there are thousands of other universes created for our spiritual growth, amusement, and entertainment. Eternity is a long time to do nothing but play harps.' -- Duane S It is my understanding that what transpired during my NDE is the “real” reality. Life as a human is more like a dream, role in a play, virtual reality game, character in a drama, etc. though these words fall far short of actual explanation. It is further my understanding that all Beings of Light who are serving as souls to human animals will have some or all of the same experiences I did when the human dies, depending upon the individual’s evolutionary level. -- Nanci D I wasn't floating or standing or lying I was just "there" surrounded by this light. At this time I had a overwhelming feeling of completion like I had accomplished some great feat or game. I was feeling/thinking "you did it. you won. you beat the game. -- Rusty S I am more interested now in the theories that what we experience as our universe is something like a holographic projection, or something akin to a video game, or that we are souls operating in this plane using atomic avatars. -- SJ Then I was shown a landscape that was in the farthest reaches of outer space, maybe somewhere outside the universe. It appeared as a cosmic game board between two opposing entities, Order and Chaos, Good and Evil, Male and Female, nature and industry. After witnessing this, I was essentially told that this conflict didn't matter and that ultimately one thing would overcome this timeless dance. Then I was taken to what I believe to be the edge of existence. Time did not exist here. There was just infinite light, unconditional endless love, nirvana, and ultimate eternal bliss. There was also light and color that I'd never seen before. Before I could enter it though, a Being stopped me. It was made of light with thousands of geometries and covered in eyes. When it spoke, it sounded like millions of sincere, loving laughs. It extended what I thought was an arm and I woke up in the hospital bed. -- Zac S Here is an excerpt from the 1998 book "The Cosmic Game" by Stanislov Grof, a researcher into the effects of hallucinogenics based on the analysis of 4000-6000 cases. It is the account of someone who experienced being one of four demiurges:

"He/she was convinced that sufficient complexity and intriguing nature of the script, consistent association of specific situations with compelling experiences, and careful covering of all the loopholes was all that was necessary. It would trap the participant into an intricate net of illusions and trick him/her into believing in the reality of the game. We were getting increasingly fascinated by all the possibilities and finally became convinced that this unusual project was viable. We agreed to enter the game of incarnation excited by the promise of extraordinary adventures in consciousness. This experience has somehow resolved whatever concerns I have ever had regarding the matter of karma. It left me with a firm conviction that I am in essence a spiritual being and that the only way I could have possibly gotten involved in the cosmic drama was through a free decision. The choice to incarnate involves voluntary acceptance of a large number of limitations, rules, and laws, as it always does when we decide to play a game. From this perspective, it does not make sense to blame anybody for anything that happens in our life. The fact that, on a higher level, we have a free choice whether or not we enter the cosmic game creates a metaframework that redefines everything that occurs within it." -- from the 1998 book "The Cosmic Game" by Stanislav Grof I received this last one via email:

Home is world of love ....only ...united as one. We are all ONE god manifested as many. Playing a game woth oneself, because when you are ALL ALONE......what else is there to do, pls it can get lonely to not have anyone to love with all this love....so we invented ourselves and have beenplaying this cosmic game from bacterial pever to cosmic......all same stuff. -- GD

* NOTE: All NDEs can be found at NDERF.ORG I mentally 'turned' to look back at my life (like a life review) and had an overall arching sense of what my life had been like (like everything being shown simultaneously and an apprehension of it all in a kinesthetic sense), and then I began 'laughing' when I realized that "I" was not the personality of "Pam" anymore--in fact, I realized that the entirety of my life had just been a game, like Monopoly (guess I just passed Go and collected $200.00!!), and "Pam" was the equivalent of one of the game's playing pieces, like the shoe or the car! All the troubles and joys, the accomplishments and limitations that made up the story of my life were revealed to be mere dust--an illusion. I realized that in truth, the "I Am' was who I really was and ALWAYS had been and always would be. What exultant bliss! I realized that I had a choice to recognize and rest in this truth of who I really was and stay on the 'other side' or I could continue to re-enact the 'game' of being an imaginary personality. -- Pamela K That everything is part of an essential game of life itself, and that to the degree that we live by true love--unconditional and universal--the closer we are to an understanding of what life truly is, which is true happiness and perfect wisdom.

***That everything is experience and that this life and the next are essentially the same because everything is god. Nothing is outside of god just as nothing is outside of life itself.

***Death is a metamorphosis of time. One more illusion from our mental concepts. Essentially, time does not exist, nor does space. They are illusions of our creative mind that plays a game of self-deception in the creation of events. -- Hafur I could see life as though it were a game I had been playing, and how all the moves were just parts of the game. -- Brian T As my orientation went on, they explained how on that celestial side of the veil, anything we desire is instantaneously provided. We just need to feel the desire. However, within lies the reason for all the realms outside of heaven. Having everything we want all the time develops within us a desire for variety and change for a challenge. It would be like a game in which everyone was a winner. Soon, the game would become boring, and we would look for another, more challenging one... In human form, we are limited in with what we know and understand. It's only through this limited understanding that we can play the 'role' we chose to come here and play. After all, if we were aware of all our soul is aware of, this earth-game wouldn't work. For example how long would poker players enjoy the game of poker if they all knew what cards were going to be dealt to each player? We are only here to do three things. First, to remember who we are. Second, to enjoy ourselves. The third thing is to help others remember who they are. -- Duane S like a game of chess -- Holland C I thought this was a game show. Somehow, I knew that I had a hand in making this happen. - John Ma Hell!!!!

When I returned to the body, I was like an actor or a baseball player. I was back in the game called Life on Earth and I had to play by the rules, which meant that I couldn't remember the answers to life's Big Questions. -- Donna G It would take hours to explain it. But yes. We can think about it as being in some kind of "school or virtual game." There is order and chaos. One is impossible without the other. Everything is made up of the same thing. Neither space nor time exists. Nothingness does not exist. There is no beginning or end. Our "memory" is outside our physical body and is Universal. I also acquired certain abilities to help with healing, but I still don't know how they work. -- Julio M When I was watching my past life the first time, I was just very happy to be able to watch my former world and myself. I regarded this actually more as an entertainment than anything else. (I did not feel miserable any longer). - Guenter W That everything is part of an essential game of life itself, and that to the degree that we live by true love--unconditional and universal--the closer we are to an understanding of what life truly is, which is true happiness and perfect wisdom. -- Patricia D I realized that the real goal of the mind created ‘life game’ in life, was to remove the veil of delusion and ignorance and reach the Ultimate Truth of one's reality in life itself. -- Mira S I mentally 'turned' to look back at my life (like a life review) and had an overall arching sense of what my life had been like (like everything being shown simultaneously and an apprehension of it all in a kinesthetic sense), and then I began 'laughing' when I realized that "I" was not the personality of "Pam" anymore--in fact, I realized that the entirety of my life had just been a game, like Monopoly (guess I just passed Go and collected $200.00!!), and "Pam" was the equivalent of one of the game's playing pieces, like the shoe or the car!

NDES & HOLOGRAPHIC / VIRTUAL REALITY

My experience was of a realm more real than this. I now believe this is an illusiona simulation, a virtual reality. Sure it's as real as we think it is, right down to the constituents of atoms and laws of physics. It's amazing. But the picture on our TV seems real, we just understand how the pixels come to be there. -- Brian T Experience was definitely real It was like a computer program running in the background. A great feeling of reality and comfort. -- Jack C. I am seeing that illusions only seem real. The flat world does not exist. The farther science goes, the more illusions of space and time are discovered. We are not flesh and blood, but more like holograms. We live in the spirit - not in the flesh. And the spirit is Love. I could see how we are all connected. I was connected to every body in a multi faceted light web, a DNA like hologram, that was in perfect order. Everything connected to everything with delicate threads of light that were the gaps between each moment. It showed my connection to other people, other souls, other incidents, moments past future and present. There was complete order and complete acceptance of everything. Than, there were no more pictures, but a strong sense of motion forwards. -- Romy ** My experience was of a realm more real than this. I now believe this is an illusiona simulation, a virtual reality. Sure it's as real as we think it is, right down to the constituents of atoms and laws of physics. It's amazing. But the picture on our TV seems real, we just understand how the pixels come to be there. -- Brian TExperience was definitely real It was like a computer program running in the background. A great feeling of reality and comfort. -- Jack C.I am seeing that illusions only seem real. The flat world does not exist. The farther science goes, the more illusions of space and time are discovered. We are not flesh and blood, but more like holograms. We live in the spirit - not in the flesh. And the spirit is Love.Everything connected to everything with delicate threads of light that were the gaps between each moment.

* NOTE: All NDEs can be found at NDERF.ORG I was in the middle of some kind of hologram. I noticed all my feelings, emotions, personality and knowledge were still with me and that I carried a large amount of anger toward certain people, especially my parents and the religion they



used against me. I'd been an agnostic for years. Then once having this experience during surgery in an out of my body state, I suddenly observed a Being of Light instantly entering this holographic space and when he came, I was washed with a flood of love and forgiveness for everyone and everything. I even loved the earth and all its beauty and the animals on the earth and "felt" the spiritual process we are all in, and how we are literally tied together as brothers and sisters needing to be unified in love and care.....Everything in a hologram. The ability to see and know everything at once. Seeing through walls. Knowing the past, present and future of people in surgery and seeing family members and what they were doing. Great peace and comfort after turbulent life..... All was in some kind of a hologram and not necessarily face to face. In other words, I could understand how God might project into everyone's life at the same time, like some Skype computer image or TV, but all was far more personal as if we are all connected as one...Everything in a hologram. I watched everything happening within the surgical arena. I could "see" and "hear" everything in my world and it blended easily within the sidereal universe as if past, present and future are all at once. -- Chamisa H All of a sudden, I looked over to the ceiling corner of my curtained cubicle, there appeared in 3d color my beloved Dad and brother Joe - both deceased. They were in the form of a HOLOGRAM - transparent but vivid and pretty much life size (maybe a bit smaller). -- Ellen A He said, "Look to your right." I looked to my right and saw a holographic figure. It was my own mother. It was a view of her in the future, and she seemed tired and in need of help. I will not go into detail here, because I want to respect her privacy, but I felt myself lean toward this futuristic hologram with the desire to touch or help it somehow, even though it wasn't presently occurring. It felt alive to me, and I noted that it seemed as I leaned toward her that I was a Gardener, wanting to prune some foliage. The hologram faded out and my Guide said, "You see? It is time. You want to go." -- Amy C I also remember that I was shown a holographic image of upcoming events in my life. I was told that these were golden moments and life was full of experiences that I should not miss. Another light Being was telling me about the value of this life. -- Nancy L This near-death experience (or what I prefer to call an Eternal Life Experience) left me feeling such a profound sense of triumph and awe. Something else I learned, too, is that fear is an acquired state, not a natural one. It is something that you learn but having no connection with the soul self. Love is the prevailing force at all times no matter how things may appear in this world of duality and illusion. Its merely a hologramcreated by the collective consciousnessfor the sake of growth and evolution. Therefore, what occurred on the Other Side, for me, was a special opportunity to experience and knowwith total certaintythat everything was evolving exactly the way it should and that the ultimate destiny for every living being is to return to the Source, The Light Pure Love. ultimately we as one verse ascend into our light bodies, which I have seen are just like holograms of light and color, depending, for to achieve the rainbow body is slightly different to the body of clear light..anyway that is the personal future of beings but as for the planet..there is a lot of work and we have to do it.-- Yazmine S I tested myself, my body was like a hologram. My whole life replayed itself. Then I got to the end of the channel and was greeted by big group of beings ( human ). I knew them all, but only on that other side. When I came back, I realized, I didn't know any of them. I was given a choice to stay or go back. I was shown the place, a very very beautiful place that will always be there. I chose to come back. I didn't want my family and friends to mourn me. I was conscious of time, i.e.; life here is just a speck of time, compare to eternity. -- MAttie K The other side is the world of the quantum, where thoughts are things, and where consciousness creates reality. It is also totally holographic in nature. That's why many NDEs say that they went into a "hall of learning" or "place of knowledge" and it seemed like to them the building was "made of knowledge." -- Patricia D The knowledge was a holographic experience, which I don't remember. The nature of this realm defies logic and violates our sense of reality. -- Beverly B Time as I had known it came to a halt; past, present and future were somehow fused together for me in the timeless unity of some point, I underwent what has been called the "life-review process," for I saw my life from beginning to end all at once. I participated in the real life dramas of my life, almost like a holographic image of my life going on before me - no sense of past, present or future, just now and the reality of my life. -- George R Boom, I was just there! I saw a sparkling light at the end of the corridor. I deliberately didn't initiated the feeling of wanting to be there, at the end of the corridor, because, honestly, I wanted to stay right where I was. And I knew if I had that thought, then I would be there, and at the end of it, immediately. Thiswhatever it was (maybe not best described as a "corridor") was luminous, all by itself. I was definitely within something. And I could tell that it was see-through (translucent,) as well. I guess the best way to describe it would be as a "hologram." And there, to my left on a screen, was my life. I could see it! Me! I saw and felt all of my choices in this lifetime. There was absolutely NO judgment attached to it. None. I wasn't judging my life, I was simply seeing it....I wanted to go behind the veil. I thought of it, and half expected to be sucked into it, but I wasn't. I was told I couldn't enter that realm just yet, as I was needed back in my body and that what was behind the curtain is reserved for when my life expired on earth. -- Lori E The edges of the walls we there...but it was like a hologram...solid walls...but not...I couldn't see anything beyond the walls from my vantage point, but whenever I tried, it was all soft creamy white...cloudy...like I didn't have a need to know what was past that boundry of the walls, ceiling and floor. -- Denise N But, I was taken to a computer room, which I really found hard to relate. We will never catch up to that one. The being with me was literally showing me around, including technology we did not have then. He (note, I identified the being as he, and there is both a male and female side to our Creator), showed me how this computer worked. We communicated by telepathy. I guess I was curious about the Civil War, so he took out a CD (at the time I described it as a tiny metallic record) the size of a quarter. He placed it into the table top surface of the computer base, and suddenly the entire wall disappeared and below I was viewing a battle scene from the Civil War. Only I was not looking down any more, but actually standing on the field during the battle. So, it was like virtual reality and a hologram all at once. And I must have sent a message that I didn't like being there, as I was suddenly back with the being and it all disappeared back to just the wall. -- Diane What happened then I can only describe as picture/movie storm or information overload with very few explaining. I remember seeing the earth from different heights, at different places and different times, natural catastrophes, changing coastlines, cloud patterns, changing continents, changing (land) marks of civilization, like some madman's view of all possibilities in fast-forward in some simulation. This lasted for three days, at least I remember being talked to go to "sleep" for three times. -- Kevin P To me, Isa/Jesus (peace be upon him) is basically an avatar sent by Allah, and we are all in some sort of simulation, where we are TESTED as to our hearts. -- Kevin E I was in the middle of some kind of hologram.

NDES & ILLUSION / LIFE AS A DREAM

He knows me and he loves me beyond description and he knows I am trying to remember who he is, because I forgot, as if I am waking up from a deep dream trying to adjust to reality. That's what it felt like, waking up from a dream, waking up to who I truly am and this life was nothing but a dream! -- Jessie N **

+/- Click here to read some more NDEs about Illusion / Life as a Dream

* NOTE: All NDEs can be found at NDERF.ORG That everyone and everything or temporal phenomenon within this dimension is where it should be because it emanates from the blueprint of a shared dream (if we can call it that) that is repeated indefinitely until we understand what is essential or real



I only know that everything is eternal, pure consciousness and that we are in a mental dream that is permanently being constructed as a dynamic of consciousness that knows itself and recreates itself through each one of us.



In this life I feel as though I am in a dream and everything is very slow... -- Hafur Everything seemed to be happening at once; or time stopped or lost all meaning I became aware of infinity. There is no time. this physical life is like a dream and cannot be compared to infinity. It is so short and temporary like a microscopic dot in the vastness of eternity. -- Jayne S Actually, the Other Side is more real than the physical realm. The earth plane/life is more like a dream when contrasted. -- Daniel A The clarity of everything around me was like the difference you feel when you wake up from a dream into reality. I had 360 degree vision. ...

More consciousness and alertness than normal. The difference is drastic  it is like being in a dream that we call "life" here in the body  then "waking up" to all that glory and reality that is on the other side. It is hardly comparable at all to earth life, and certainly cannot be conveyed adequately by words. -- Mark W I felt more "awake" than I had ever felt, as if this earthly life was but a dream and true consciousness happens after death. -- Mark But if this Consciousness alone is real, the world was an illusion? Then where did it come from?

Like all manifestation, the world too is the creation of the great illusion or great delusion, which being the Creative aspect of this Supreme Consciousness, or the Lord, is the divine movie-projector of life, in the all-powerful play of the realm of Creation. Just as a mirage in the desert disappears when viewed from a certain perspective, your life as Arti on earth has disappeared, when viewed from the perspective of the Divine Self, where you are now.

Only the eternal is real; and from the viewpoint of that Reality, all that is non-eternal, disappears. Yet of course, you, being atman (the soul) which is eternal, can still view the world of illusion if you wish.

So my life as Arti never really existed at all, it was an illusion?

Oh, it existed; just as a dream exists, or a movie, or a mirage.

So the world, was just a figment of my imagination? How did I create it? With my thoughts and desires?

Y e s s s s!

The answer seemed to echo all around and reverberated within my being.

Y e s I understood now. The world had all been, only in my mind, a thought-and-senses createdillusion/delusion. Without the senses, mind and body, there was now no ego to perceive the world illusion!

It had all existed and happened only in my mind!

Our true reality exists outside of the mind, which is where I was at the present moment. -- Mira S That everyone and everything or temporal phenomenon within this dimension is where it should be because it emanates from the blueprint of a shared dream (if we can call it that) that is repeated indefinitely until we understand what is essential or realI only know that everything is eternal, pure consciousness and that we are in a mental dream that is permanently being constructed as a dynamic of consciousness that knows itself and recreates itself through each one of us.In this life I feel as though I am in a dream and everything is very slow... -- HafurEverything seemed to be happening at once; or time stopped or lost all meaning I became aware of infinity.

NDES & THE SOUL

Then, in another second, I was standing on a river made of liquid light! There was grass and landscape but it was all made of this light or had the light in it. -- Laura L ** ... I was just pure consciousness with no body, in the "other" place I had physical form, but my body like everything else there was like it was made of liquid light. -- Anthony N The pulsating liquid light that radiated peace/joy/love. Did you seem to encounter a mystical being or presence, or hear an unidentifiable voice? -- Jill D He said his life was sort of a liquid light that was poured into a beautiful vessel of some sort on a scale. The scale measured his good vs. bad actions on earth. -- Donna Suddenly I felt as if I was in a bright light. It was tinged with blue and silver. Like a plasma ball you see on sci-fi movies. There was an electricity to the...ether. It was unreal. I was floating, my entire body, if I had one, was invisible, even my eyelids and head were invisible. I tried to close my eyes, but couldn't. I don't know if I was seeing through my eyelids, or if I ceased to have them. Suddenly, the feeling of speed returned. I grunted, if not out loud, then in my mind as I went from 0 to light speed; or I assumed. -- Chris D I jumped against a kind of plasma or rubber wall. It was soft and flexible, was glowing in a golden orange color, and hurled me back... I illicitly tried to cross the river. But I bounced off a kind of luminous rubber-/plasma 'wall'. My impression was that the whole 'heaven' was made of this plasma, and I could not get in, because my 'body' wasn't subtle enough, to get into the plasma. -- Franziska R ADC That deep blue sky all around. I was still marveling at my arm, and when realizing that I was higher in the air, these sparks began to form. Not exactly like a typical spark of electricity, but similar along with a thicker dimension to each spark. As a type of plasma with just enough of a thickness to notice black on one edge or side and silver on another side. ... What appeared to be the window opened up by a plasma sparking energy is what I would now call a portal into another dimension. -- Wilfred B Did you pass into or through a tunnel or enclosure? Uncertain I went through a dimension, like a plasma wall. -- Kate B There were no reference points, no up, no down, no right, no left. Just my concentrated essence, my "I" that had been falling into and onto itself and becoming smaller and smaller. I became aware that there were a multitude (infinite) of other "I"s around me, like stars studding the sky. They were "I"s; "Ego's". These "All Seeing Eyes"were scrutinizing me". "They" who are the One Voice (the voice that had been communicating with me all along) began to tell me things. They transmit, convey, tell. "They" as the One Voice, with a finger (metaphor) drew a white, brilliant, fluorescent, living plasma-like, palpable-light graphic in the darkness. This was a circle. Its entire circumference moved in a clockwise manner. -- J.B. I observed another spirit entering the room, it wasnt as large as me because I was pure plasma, a glowing bodiless form that was pure energy and intelligences I was neither male or female my vision was 360% -- Gregory C I started to look around and saw beings of different colors huddled in a group talking amongst themselves. They were nether male or female. One of them I remember was a soft olive green color and this being was holding a staff. I thought to myself that these being dont have eyes, ears, mouths or hands and they are conversing how can this be. I decided to see what color I was, so I stretched a part of me out and saw that I was a very vibrant plasmic hot pink. I remember laughing because this was a color I would not be comfortable wearing here on Earth. -- Kathy O My own identity appeared to also be composed of light and I noticed that my light had the ability to reach any where I wanted and whatever beam of light consciousness I chose to direct my attention to, I could instantly travel down. I did this and found myself in a floral shop. What I found extremely fascinating was that I was able to experience all of the flowers simultaneously, and that no matter where I went I was always at the center of everything! -- Barry W I looked at the throne and I was light and the face of a bear, eagle, lion and ram all changing every second. -- Patricia AR With that, I was outside and flying through the sky. I looked down and saw the rising sunlight reflecting on the Irish sea. I was way ahead of a number of seagulls. I headed extremely quickly towards Scotland, briefly saw the west coast with the sunlight shining and boats on the water and then boom, I was in darkness but I was light. -- Marie E I knew I was part of this light, I belonged to this light. I was home. I then realized there was a presence in this light and I realized I was light too. We were the same but with different personalities. -- Barbara S I felt like I was no longer in my body, but was still my self. It felt like I was "light" not weightless but actual light. -- D I recall that when I was out of my body, I wondered what I looked like without a body. Then I looked at myself and I was light, I was made of light! However, at some point I had not this light body anymore, I was just a point of consciousness in universe!... The more we love, the more we emit light because we vibrate faster! -- Leonard Then I looked at myself and I was light. I had the shape of a person but was only made up of a yellow light. -- Joan K Light filled my being and reality as if filtering into it as sand through mesh? Until I was light. -- Bonnie C I was light ..everything was light. -- Tracy W It was like my body was made of light, it still felt like a body. but when I looked at it, it wasn't really -- Barbara C I know that we are all connected and that each of us is made of light and we are all "God" on earth. -- Kathi B Our original form is made of light because our creator is made of light. -- Patricia D I put my arms out to try to fly and saw that they were rainbows of colors I was a rainbow being..I was made of light and color I was overjoyed! I thought I can fly to the Great Presence before me and unite with the purity of all that is was and ever shall be..That was my hearts desire, to be at one with the Great Presence which 'they' call God, and yet I dare not announce a name to that which is beyond naming. - Yazmine My thought was "oh what is that" the moment I thought it, I moved forward, almost like my curiosity propelled me. I knew I had no body so it was like floating forward, I remember thinking "wow this is cool" and I wanted to see what the color was. The more curious I got the fast I propelled forward, like flying, it felt incredibly freeing. I really liked it and the more I wanted to go faster, the faster I went. -- Sherri A I tried the "want" a little harder...I moved faster!! It came to me in a rush I could move with a "thought" I started darting around like a firefly. -- Lee travel to the most remote regions was possible with a thought This amazing living loving ball of light was off in the distance and I was naturally drawn to travel there. Travel was easy. Simply by desire. This was strong. -- Dr. Jean Renee H Did you reach a boundary or limiting physical structure? Yes The silver chord that people talked about would not let me travel upward. It is not really "physical" but it was real to me. They did not want me just yet, only to see what lies ahead for some reason. -- Bryan S I can't describe how we were traveling. It wasn't like we see movies depict people flying. It was an energy travel - like we set our intention and away we went. -- Pamela B Travel is also by thought both into the physical and ethereal dimensions of realities -- Alan M I felt that I could move at the speed of light. This was in no way aPhysical sense of movement, not three-dimensional. It was as if I was propelled by thought, rather than body. What existed was pure will. -- Bryan Z High speed travel. No solar clock (sunlight) Gliding rather than walking, and flying. Easy transition from standing to flying, as if by thought or wish. Speed returning down tunnel back to my body very greatly accelerated. -- Anne S I remember knowing that I no longer would have eat, sleep work or exercise, and that I could travel by thought and that's what got me to the walls. -- Preston P I could see through walls and go anywhere instantly by thought if I so desired. -- Chamisa H To be everything, to be nothing, to manifest your desire by thought alone, and the ability to comprehend without witness...how do you limit your imagination? -- Scot W One question I always personally had and that was answered is, "Are ghosts real?" The answer I was given was, "Yes, in the human body their are two forms of spiritual being. One is the "soul" which is the spiritual being that has a symbiotic relationship with the physical body. The second is the being created by the "biology" of the human body. This being is intelligent and is basically the personality of the individual. Its purpose is to provide for the human needs of food, hunger, survival, and procreation. This concept is very similar to Freud's "Id, Ego and Superego" The division of mind and personality. The soul provides us with all the things of the individual that separates us from the Animal Kingdom. This is the ability to reason, use logic, or feel awe when seeing a sunset. The soul is the creative side of humankind. The second being is more our animal side and drives us to accomplish or pursue things to satisfy our needs and wants. When we die, the soul separates and proceeds to the other side (Forgive me for simplifying everything). The entity of the body, dies taking with it the strong emotions, "baggage", and drives of human beings. This is a natural part of the dying process. However, sometimes under violent or sudden death this Other/being, for lack of a better word, doesn't have a chance to die. Instead it remains behind as the drive, emotions, and motivation of our spirit. This body being, without the guidance of the soul is basically just a shell. It wanders about with no goals or purpose. It often repeats acts that it has done before because memories are the only "guidance" that it has. In time, this being's energy dissipates and nothing is left. But that process can take along time. Hence, we have a "ghost" that haunts a house or person. A ghost has the center of its existence when it was with its human body and soul. Here on earth it remains until it eventually vanishes. The ghost can be communicated with and guided, yet has no real will of its own but only that of habit. -- Henry W These are some findings of William Bulhman, an expert on out of body experiences and traveling the astral plane:

"It's important to learn how to consciously move and lock your awareness within any individual energy environment. You unknowingly did this when you entered the first nonphysical reality immediately after your death. When you embraced this construct and accepted it as your own, you became one with it. In doing so, you unconsciously locked your in a structured consensus-thought matrix created by a group of like-minded souls." Near death experiencers say that the soul is made of light -- a liquid or fluorescent light -- or a plasma field. Most claim that they can travel at very high speeds by intent, desire or thought.Then, in another second,-- Laura L **... I was just pure consciousness with no body, in the "other" place I had physical form, but my body like everything else there was like it was made of liquid light. -- Anthony NThe pulsating liquid light that radiated peace/joy/love. Did you seem to encounter a mystical being or presence, or hear an unidentifiable voice? -- Jill DHe said his life was sort of a liquid light that was poured into a beautiful vessel of some sort on a scale. The scale measured his good vs. bad actions on earth. -- DonnaSuddenly I felt as if I was in a bright light. It was tinged with blue and silver. Like a plasma ball you see on sci-fi movies. There was an electricity to the...ether. It was unreal. I was floating, my entire body, if I had one, was invisible, even my eyelids and head were invisible. I tried to close my eyes, but couldn't. I don't know if I was seeing through my eyelids, or if I ceased to have them. Suddenly, the feeling of speed returned. I grunted, if not out loud, then in my mind as I went from 0 to light speed; or I assumed. -- Chris DI jumped against a kind of plasma or rubber wall. It was soft and flexible, was glowing in a golden orange color, and hurled me back... I illicitly tried to cross the river. But I bounced off a kind of luminous rubber-/plasma 'wall'. My impression was that the whole 'heaven' was made of this plasma, and I could not get in, because my 'body' wasn't subtle enough, to get into the plasma. -- Franziska R ADCThat deep blue sky all around. I was still marveling at my arm, and when realizing that I was higher in the air, these sparks began to form. Not exactly like a typical spark of electricity, but similar along with a thicker dimension to each spark. As a type of plasma with just enough of a thickness to notice black on one edge or side and silver on another side. ... What appeared to be the window opened up by a plasma sparking energy is what I would now call a portal into another dimension. -- Wilfred BDid you pass into or through a tunnel or enclosure? Uncertain I went through a dimension, like a plasma wall. -- Kate BThere were no reference points, no up, no down, no right, no left. Just my concentrated essence, my "I" that had been falling into and onto itself and becoming smaller and smaller. I became aware that there were a multitude (infinite) of other "I"s around me, like stars studding the sky. They were "I"s; "Ego's". These "All Seeing Eyes"were scrutinizing me". "They" who are the One Voice (the voice that had been communicating with me all along) began to tell me things. They transmit, convey, tell. "They" as the One Voice, with a finger (metaphor) drew a white, brilliant, fluorescent, living plasma-like, palpable-light graphic in the darkness. This was a circle. Its entire circumference moved in a clockwise manner. -- J.B.I observed another spirit entering the room, it wasnt as large as me because I was pure plasma, a glowing bodiless form that was pure energy and intelligences I was neither male or female my vision was 360% -- Gregory CI started to look around and saw beings of different colors huddled in a group talking amongst themselves. They were nether male or female. One of them I remember was a soft olive green color and this being was holding a staff. I thought to myself that these being dont have eyes, ears, mouths or hands and they are conversing how can this be. I decided to see what color I was, so I stretched a part of me out and saw that I was a very vibrant plasmic hot pink. I remember laughing because this was a color I would not be comfortable wearing here on Earth. -- Kathy OMy own identity appeared to also be composed of light and I noticed that my light had the ability to reach any where I wanted and whatever beam of light consciousness I chose to direct my attention to, I could instantly travel down. I did this and found myself in a floral shop. What I found extremely fascinating was that I was able to experience all of the flowers simultaneously, and that no matter where I went I was always at the center of everything! -- Barry WI looked at the throne and I was light and the face of a bear, eagle, lion and ram all changing every second. -- Patricia ARWith that, I was outside and flying through the sky. I looked down and saw the rising sunlight reflecting on the Irish sea. I was way ahead of a number of seagulls. I headed extremely quickly towards Scotland, briefly saw the west coast with the sunlight shining and boats on the water and then boom, I was in darkness but I was light. -- Marie EI knew I was part of this light, I belonged to this light. I was home. I then realized there was a presence in this light and I realized I was light too. We were the same but with different personalities. -- Barbara SI felt like I was no longer in my body, but was still my self. It felt like I was "light" not weightless but actual light. -- DI recall that when I was out of my body, I wondered what I looked like without a body. Then I looked at myself and I was light, I was made of light! However, at some point I had not this light body anymore, I was just a point of consciousness in universe!... The more we love, the more we emit light because we vibrate faster! -- LeonardThen I looked at myself and I was light. I had the shape of a person but was only made up of a yellow light. -- Joan KLight filled my being and reality as if filtering into it as sand through mesh? Until I was light. -- Bonnie CI was light ..everything was light. -- Tracy WIt was like my body was made of light, it still felt like a body. but when I looked at it, it wasn't really -- Barbara CI know that we are all connected and that each of us is made of light and we are all "God" on earth. -- Kathi BOur original form is made of light because our creator is made of light. -- Patricia DI put my arms out to try to fly and saw that they were rainbows of colors I was a rainbow being..I was made of light and color I was overjoyed! I thought I can fly to the Great Presence before me and unite with the purity of all that is was and ever shall be..That was my hearts desire, to be at one with the Great Presence which 'they' call God, and yet I dare not announce a name to that which is beyond naming. - YazmineMy thought was "oh what is that" the moment I thought it, I moved forward, almost like my curiosity propelled me. I knew I had no body so it was like floating forward, I remember thinking "wow this is cool" and I wanted to see what the color was. The more curious I got the fast I propelled forward, like flying, it felt incredibly freeing. I really liked it and the more I wanted to go faster, the faster I went. -- Sherri AI tried the "want" a little harder...I moved faster!! It came to me in a rush I could move with a "thought" I started darting around like a firefly. -- Lee travel to the most remote regions was possible with a thoughtThis amazing living loving ball of light was off in the distance and I was naturally drawn to travel there. Travel was easy. Simply by desire. This was strong. -- Dr. Jean Renee HDid you reach a boundary or limiting physical structure? Yes The silver chord that people talked about would not let me travel upward. It is not really "physical" but it was real to me. They did not want me just yet, only to see what lies ahead for some reason. -- Bryan SI can't describe how we were traveling. It wasn't like we see movies depict people flying. It was an energy travel - like we set our intention and away we went. -- Pamela BTravel is also by thought both into the physical and ethereal dimensions of realities -- Alan MI felt that I could move at the speed of light. This was in no way aPhysical sense of movement, not three-dimensional. It was as if I was propelled by thought, rather than body. What existed was pure will. -- Bryan ZHigh speed travel. No solar clock (sunlight) Gliding rather than walking, and flying. Easy transition from standing to flying, as if by thought or wish. Speed returning down tunnel back to my body very greatly accelerated. -- Anne SI remember knowing that I no longer would have eat, sleep work or exercise, and that I could travel by thought and that's what got me to the walls. -- Preston PI could see through walls and go anywhere instantly by thought if I so desired. -- Chamisa HTo be everything, to be nothing, to manifest your desire by thought alone, and the ability to comprehend without witness...how do you limit your imagination? -- Scot WOne question I always personally had and that was answered is, "Are ghosts real?" The answer I was given was, "Yes, in the human body their are two forms of spiritual being. One is the "soul" which is the spiritual being that has a symbiotic relationship with the physical body. The second is the being created by the "biology" of the human body. This being is intelligent and is basically the personality of the individual. Its purpose is to provide for the human needs of food, hunger, survival, and procreation. This concept is very similar to Freud's "Id, Ego and Superego" The division of mind and personality. The soul provides us with all the things of the individual that separates us from the Animal Kingdom. This is the ability to reason, use logic, or feel awe when seeing a sunset. The soul is the creative side of humankind. The second being is more our animal side and drives us to accomplish or pursue things to satisfy our needs and wants. When we die, the soul separates and proceeds to the other side (Forgive me for simplifying everything). The entity of the body, dies taking with it the strong emotions, "baggage", and drives of human beings. This is a natural part of the dying process. However, sometimes under violent or sudden death this Other/being, for lack of a better word, doesn't have a chance to die.

NDES & CONSCIOUSNESS

NDEs reveal that a soul sheds its physical body and lower animal everyday normal waking consciousness or ego and experiences the afterlife with the true expanded consciousness or awareness of its soul which is described as pure consciousness. Souls experience ths state of superconsciousness whether they go to the light or not. I have talked to NDErs who felt the loveand they never even went through the tunnel or entered the light. It is the natural state of our Soul and being free from the physical body which is yoked to an animal brain and Counterfeit Spirit. "Consciousness remained, totally alert, linked to this luminous flow to such an extent that it dissolved in it. I was this refined, sublime consciousness. It bathed into cosmic energy, and simultaneously was wide open, limitless, as if it had contained the universe space. It perceived, felt, had all properties of a living being, but acted in a dimension located out of matter and out of time. The feeling was tender, peaceful. The light I saw, through non sensorial perception, located at another level, was intense, radiant but not blinding, not dazzling. A golden color illuminated the immensity and allowed my consciousness to embrace the whole scope of it, making everywhere visible in the universe. I had a feeling of lightness. Never mind the ill body because there was nobody who could suffer Fullness, freedom, instant out of time. My consciousness had left space-time limits, it had entered another plane of reality, extending infinitely, whence this feeling of openness towards universe, up to wholly containing it. In that moment, my consciousness was this bright space. The light freely went through my consciousness which had found its source, it was its very substance, nourished it, plunged it in bliss. I immediately felt loved by this supreme Consciousness. I understood that this light was the absolute Love I felt. It was very beautiful, very sweet. True tenderness came from this light. I felt pure love, unconditional acceptation, great compassion too..." -- Mathilde M "At what time during the experience were you at your highest level of consciousness and alertness? Sense of expanded consciousness was immediate. Full expansion and understanding followed within an eternal instant. How did your highest level of consciousness and alertness during the experience compare to your normal every day consciousness and alertness? More consciousness and alertness than normal" -- Roger F "If your highest level of consciousness and alertness during the experience was different from your normal every day consciousness and alertness, please explain: It was a totally different type of consciousness, it was without any constraints." -- Bruce C "More consciousness and alertness than normal. I'll explain in terms of my experiences as a Buddhist with states of jhana. About eight years ago, I started practicing a Buddhist meditation, one of those that the Buddha himself taught. The one I practice is not a one-pointed-concentration meditation. It is like that, but in this one, you relax any stress and tension that arise in both your mind and your body by following the flow of whatever in your consciousness calls your attention. Using that approach, as your mind becomes more and more calm and relaxed, you will enter the first jhana. It will be an "aware jhana." In an aware jhana, if someone touches your shoulder (for example) you will know your shoulder is being touched. But if you use a one-pointed-concentration meditation, when you enter a jhana, (using the same example) you will not be aware of someone touching your shoulder. I practice an "abiding in awareness" jhana when sitting and I try to carry that jhana state right into my active life. My NDE experience was way deeper than either of the jhana states I have just described. But if I go deep into one of the jhanas, into the "formless jhanas," say  the realm of infinite consciousness, which is the sixth level of the jhanas  that's the level that matches my NDE pretty good, in terms of alertness and consciousness. Please compare your vision during the experience to your everyday vision that you had immediately prior to the time of the experience. I didn't see during the experience. There was no seeing; I was aware only of the pure consciousness of beings melding with each other, directly communicating, I suppose, by a sort of intuition." -- Zachary G "Did you have any knowledge of near death experience (NDE) prior to your experience? Yes I did have some knowledge of how powerful our soul or spirit is and that it has no limits, but no amount of bodily consciousness could equal the freedom of this experience." -- Jan S "AS A PART OF DIVINE CONSCIOUSNESS, YOU ARE DIVINE... Do you see the problem here? How simple questions like How are you? can become a trap if you're trying to be painstakingly truthful? Not one of those words can be parsed unambiguously. There was no longer a perspective from which to solidly answer innocent questions. One. Everything we ever need to know comes straight from that one inescapable thing. Call it the Tao, the unity, collective consciousness, or God. Labels only confuse the situation. " - Cami R "Were there one or several parts of the experience especially meaningful or significant to you? I know my identity is an eternal existence now. I would no longer call it consciousness, it is a self identity separate from consciousness...more like a super consciousness." -- Jeff C "I realized I was pure energy, spirit, and part of a flowing consciousness; while still remaining 'Denise'." -- Denise "I was in a dark void, I was not scarred, it was like I was a pair of eyes and ears with pure consciousness, it was so real." -- Rebecca D "More consciousness and alertness than normal I was free of the fears, ideas and limitations of this earth. I had total peace and could give all my attention to what was happening." -- Tamara J NDE "I only know that everything is eternal, pure consciousness and that we are in a mental dream that is permanently being constructed as a dynamic of consciousness that knows itself and recreates itself through each one of us. ... We are all God. Our own super-lucid consciousness is what judges us with love. The kind of human love that most resembles divine love is: infinite tenderness. What we think or want to think is what is, come what may. In this way the universe is constructed. It is like a game of consciousness that recognizes itself and recreates itself through each one of us, and at the same time we are the "point of nothingness" in which life becomes self-aware. " -- Hafur "This White Light wasn't capable of anything but Love because that was truly the essence, 100% the vibration of what it was. To create fear of punishment would have reduced the vibration of love and that was impossible for this Being of True Love to do. " -- Teri R " It was two entirely different types of alertness and consciousness. When I struggled to come back as I was presumably moving back inside my physical experience I began to re-experience the immediacy of physical consciousness, like everything suddenly got very immediate and took on a different timbre. I became aware of feelings, distress, striving, pain, fear and sadness, of the massive physical weight of the condition that I was in. But the previous experience was totally different in nature. It was a very, very grounded feeling, unshakeable, like a deep knowingness. I knew who I was, I knew and recognized instantly the existence that was coming towards me" -- JH "The best way that I can describe it is that this state was beyond the need for thoughts or senses. Thoughts and senses are things that in my view pertain to consciousness. Where I was, it was a state of pure awareness-beyond consciousness and therefore the need of thoughts or senses... As stated earlier, what I experienced was the passing through of the space between my thoughts, which led me from the state of consciousness that comes with being in my body to the state of infinite awareness that lies behind consciousness, a state in which the body, consciousness, and all other attachments are surrendered and seemingly left behind. When you ask if there is life "after" this life, the answer is no because there is no "before or after" there is just now. Now either exists in awareness with consciousness covering it up (consciousness imprinted on awareness), or awareness in its purest state beyond consciousness. " -- Victor C (other non-NDE) "The other surprising thing was the feeling of being part of a "collective consciousness". I sensed that everything alive and that had ever lived was part of this consciousness. It retained the experiences of each being in its collective memory. This is why I knew everything, the knowledge of this collective became mine. It is a different kind of knowledge though. It is not intellectual but experiential. Furthermore, it was not limited just to human experiences, I "knew" what it felt like to be a flower and to be a stone. I realized that life and consciousness are synonymous and that inanimate objects also have consciousness. They are made of atoms and particles just like humans are. " -- Chantal L "I was simply a form of consciousness with my ego intact. I did not have to breathe, nor did I have any difficulty thinking, as though I was experiencing some sort of "super consciousness". " -- Tony M "I realized that the real goal of the mind created life game in life, was to remove the veil of delusion and ignorance and reach the Ultimate Truth of one's reality in life itself. This Truth, this Self I was bathing in and which had encompassed my Being, was nothing but Love, Love, pure, unconditional, Universal Love, that is almost non-achievable in human terms, and which was the fabric of this Consciousness I was a part of. Yes, because Love is God and God is Love. It was very clear that the Cosmic composition was made up of nothing but Love! Love is the God-glue that is holding All together. And I realized I was not just inside It but rather, one with It, this Universal Body of Love, of God. It was completely natural to me... as flame is to fire... because it is fire!" -- Mira S "As I was struck, I realized that my consciousness was in two places simultaneously. One part, very scared and animal-like, was firmly inside of my broken body that was stuck on the vehicle's axle and being dragged under the truck. The other part, a very calm, dispassionate observer, hovered out in front of the truck and off to the south, watching the whole scene unfold from a distance. This dual consciousness seemed quite normal to the observer part of me. The observer was calm about the whole thing, and I remember the feeling that this was all happening for a reason, that there was nothing to fear. The observer-me watched as witnesses stopped, called for help, and as the paramedics arrived. When the paramedics started working on me, my two selves came back together." -- Nancy R "Experience was definitely real the reality of the experience I had is the true state of consciousness that exists after we all die in the body of flesh that we are wraped within.The state of my being during the episode is the state we will all be in after we die except of course for the scary things that happened to me." -- Gabe G "In that instant, total knowledge of reality appeared to me and I saw the multi-dimensionality of the universe. My consciousness expanded so far beyond the physical plane that I was no longer aware of it, nor of my self. I was so much a part of it all, there was no distinction. It was a brilliant flash of light and I was allowed to see into it for a brief moment and experience a feeling of love so profound, powerful and overwhelming that I can only describe it as pure Bliss (even though that doesn't begin to describe it). And, suddenly, I was whisked away and found myself traveling rapidly through a vortex toward a beautiful white light in the far, far distance. I continued to experience an overwhelming feeling of love within me and around me. " -- Diane G "Duluth airport, middle of winter with a raging northern, temperatures -25 and winds howling. On a juniper branch a nearly dead chrysalis is encased in a lifeless motionless shroud clinging to a limb. That is human existence. That dead lifeless creature is "Normal every day consciousness and alertness" compared to NDE. " -- Robert B "At what time during the experience were you at your highest level of consciousness and alertness? I have to answer that in two parts. First, my level of alertness did not change after it expanded dramatically once I was thoroughly infused with the Light. Second, my level of consciousness continued to evolve through higher and more expansive levels until I was about to fully merge into Source/God. At that point, I felt as though I had the same level of consciousness as Source/God, which is the level of awareness/vibration necessary in order to merge directly into it...

The only locations, in the physical sense, that I visited were those I consciously manifested myself. I did, however, evolve through numerous levels of awareness/consciousness/beingness until I was no longer a being at all. Nothing was identified to me as a dimension. " -- Nancy D All I can say was that I went to sleep as one distinct consciousness and when I awoke as another consciousness completely. I was still me, but suddenly a much more enhanced version, detached from my human condition of pain and suffering. ... "-- Sara A "This experience has shown me something that I would like to attempt to describe in words. What I believe is that while we are in this body, we are equipped with the consciousness that comes with it. The difference between how I view what this consciousness is, in relation to my view of what awareness is it is two different things. Awareness for me is what is behind the consciousness that comes with the functioning of mind and body. The awareness behind it however is of a much broader, infinite nature. The thoughts that we all have in our consciousness appear to be a constant stream that is continuous and linear in nature. However, upon intense concentration on what is an iota of time between our thoughts, I believe that what I have experienced was a gateway leading out of consciousness and into the hidden spectrum of pure awareness that lies beyond. While in this state, I have no memory of breathing, or any other bodily functions that would be obvious in a normal state of consciousness. .." -- Victor C (non-NDE other experience) "I entered the black void I realize my body was no longer with me. I could see but only with my minds eye like dreaming but everything w as clear and I was pure conscious having retaining all knowledge of my life and memories. I was not any smarter." .I felt intense joy and happiness in the disembodied state in the white light. There was a sense of "I", but I was also a part of a group consciousness, and that was blissful. I don't recall a lot of other emotions. Certainly no sorrow, guilt or regrets. ... Did you seem to encounter a mystical being or presence, or hear an unidentifiable voice?....I encountered a definite being, or a voice clearly of mystical or unearthly origin No voices or sounds. Mind to mind communications. Beings encountered were intelligent points of consciousness with which I seemed to have had a prior long-term relationship. We seemed to be like a group mind, but yet separate individuals. More like we were united in a common purpose and came to decisions by c
