Researchers ask the question: "How can the phenomenon of near-death experience be explained?" In doing so, they usually imply that any acceptable explanation must be expressed in terms of concepts - biological, neurological, psychological, with which they are already familiar.
The phenomenon of near-death experience (PSP) could be explained if, for example, it was possible to show what state of the brain, what drugs or what beliefs cause it.
Those who believe that PSP cannot be explained imply that it cannot be related to any physical or psychological condition.
I want to state that this approach to explaining PSP is fundamentally wrong. As far as I know, none of those who have experienced the PSP feel the need to explain it in the simplified form that the researchers suggest. For the PSP survivor, this does not need to be explained as it is exactly what it is. It represents at least a direct experience of consciousness, or mind, or ego, or personal identity - existing independently of the physical body. And only in relation to our deeply rooted materialistic paradigm, the PSP needs proof, or rather, proof of its impossibility.
The fallacy of materialism has been proven empirically; hence what needs to be explained is the collective refusal of academia to consider facts and accept them for what they are. Today academia is in the position of a bishop who refused to look through Galileo's telescope. Why it happens?
Before answering this question, I want to talk about the nature and power of the facts that refute materialism. In an article published in the Journal of Scientific Exploration in 1998, Emilia Williams Cook, Bruce Grayson, and Ian Stevenson described "three characteristics of PSP - heightened mental performance, the ability to see the physical body from a different position in space, and paranormal perception." They then described 14 cases that fit these principles.
Epistemologically speaking, the third criterion, paranormal perception, is the most important. The materialist can, in principle, not explain how a person receives reliable information about events while outside the body.
Consider, for example, the case where the PSP experienced person accurately captures a conversation that took place in the waiting room while his body was unconscious in the operating room. Relevant information, transmitted in the form of sound or light waves, could not leave the reception room, walk through the corridors and climb up the elevators in order to reach the organs of perception of an unconscious person. However, the person wakes up after the operation with information.
This case (there are many of them) shows quite directly that there are non-physical ways through which the mind can obtain information. Hence the conclusion that materialism is a false teaching.
Smoking gun
Perhaps one such case is the "smoking gun", which Michael Sabom described in his book "Light and Death". In this case, the patient experienced PSP when her body temperature dropped to 60 degrees F and her body was completely drained of blood.
"Her electroencephalogram was silent, there was no brain reaction, blood did not enter the brain." In this state, the brain cannot create any experiences. However, the patient reported a deep PSP.
Those materialists who believe that consciousness is a product of the brain, or that the brain is necessary for conscious experience, cannot explain such cases using their own concepts. An impartial observer would have to conclude that not all sensations are produced by the brain and that materialism has been proven empirically false. Therefore, an explanation is required by the extreme inability of academia to consider the evidence and conclude that materialism is a false theory, and consciousness can and does exist independently of the body.
Moreover, the PSP is not the only evidence that refutes materialism, there are many of them in other areas of research. Both spiritualism, extensively studied since the time of William James, and the authentic cases of children recalling their past lives described by Stevenson are replete with facts against materialism.
The best epistemological analysis of such evidence comes from Robert Almeder. After a lengthy and detailed discussion of past life memories, he concluded that "it is rational to believe in reincarnation, given the facts." The correct conclusion, according to Almeder, should be: "It is unreasonable not to believe in reincarnation, given the facts." I agree with Almeder.
Our collective unreasonableness about the wealth of facts that refutes materialism manifests itself in two ways: (1) ignoring the facts, and (2) insisting on too strict standards of factual evidence that, if accepted, would render any empirical science impossible.
Dogma and ideology
"Hallucinations caused by taking drugs", "the last glimpse of a fading brain", "people see what they want to see" - these were the most common phrases. One conversation made me especially clear about the fundamental irrationality of pundits with regard to evidence that refutes materialism. I asked, "What about people who accurately described the details of their operation?"
"Ah," was the answer, "they may have subconsciously heard the conversation in the operating room, and their brains subconsciously translated the auditory information into visual format."
“Okay,” I replied, “what about cases where people provide reliable information about an event that happened far from their body?”
“Oh, this is just a coincidence or a lucky guess,” they reply.
Having lost patience, I asked: "What is required to convince you that this is true, maybe you yourself need to go through a state of death?"
Completely calmly, without raising an eyebrow, my colleague replied: "Even if I myself experience such an experience, I will consider it a hallucination, but I will not believe that the mind can exist separately from the body." He added that dualism (a philosophical thesis that asserts that consciousness and matter are independent substances, neither of which can be reduced to another) is a false theory, and that there can be no evidence of what is false.
This was an important lesson for me, because I was in front of an educated, intelligent person who said that he would not abandon materialism, no matter what happened. Even his own experiences will not force him to abandon materialism. At that moment, I realized two things. First, this experience has weaned me off arguing such things with die-hard colleagues; there is no point in arguing with someone who claims that his views are already established, and he will not change them, no matter what I say.
Secondly, this experience taught me that it is important to distinguish between (a) materialism as an empirical hypothesis about the structure of the world, subject to evidence (this is a sign of a scientific hypothesis that facts are essential for its truth or falsity) and (b) materialism as an ideology, or a paradigm of how "should" be, which does not obey the facts (this is a sign of an unscientific hypothesis - evidence is not essential for its truth).
A colleague of mine did not believe in materialism as a scientific hypothesis that might turn out to be wrong, but took it for a dogma or ideology that "should" be true, despite conflicting facts. For him, materialism is a fundamental paradigm in terms of which everything else is explained, but which in itself is not subject to doubt.
I coined the term "fundamentalist" to refer to those who believe that materialism is an immutable truth that does not obey empirical evidence. I call this fundamentalism for an unambiguous comparison with fundamentalism in religion. Fundamentalism implies the conviction of the correctness of one's beliefs.
Just as the Christian fundamentalist is convinced that the world was created in the way described in the Bible (notwithstanding the fossil remains), the fundamentalist is convinced that everything is made of matter or physical energy (notwithstanding the PSP and other evidence). In fact, and this is an important point, their respective beliefs have nothing to do with factual evidence. As my fundamentalist colleague put it, "There can be no evidence that is not true."
With regard to (a) materialism as an empirical hypothesis about the structure of the world, the evidence against is overwhelming. In relation to (b) materialism as an ideology, evidence is logically impossible. A complicating factor is that the fundamentalist believes that his belief in materialism is not ideological but empirical. That is, he mistakenly places himself in category (a), while his behavior clearly falls into category (b).
Skeptics believe that by ignoring and rejecting evidence against materialism, they are showing a "scientific" approach. But when asked what kind of empirical evidence will convince them that materialism is wrong, they, like my colleague, tend to get lost, not knowing what to say.
If they are not familiar with the data, then a criterion is put forward, which, in fact, has already been met. If you point out that there are many documented cases that satisfy the proposed criterion, they will simply make the criterion more stringent, and at some point they will cross the line between the reasonable demand for scientific evidence and the unreasonable (and unscientific) demand for logical evidence.

Thanks to advances in medicine, resuscitation of the dead has become almost standard procedure in many modern hospitals. Previously, it was almost never used.
In this article, we will not cite real cases from the practice of resuscitation doctors and the stories of those who themselves suffered clinical death, since a lot of such descriptions can be found in books such as:
- "Closer to the light" (
- Life after life (
- "Memories of Death" (
- "Life at death" (
- "Beyond the threshold of death" (
The purpose of this material is to classify what people who have been in the afterlife have seen and present what they have said in an understandable form as evidence of the existence of life after death.
What happens after a person dies
“He is dying” is often the first thing a person hears at the time of clinical death. What happens after a person dies? At first, the patient feels that he is leaving the body and a second later he looks down at himself, floating under the ceiling.
At this moment, a person first sees himself from the outside and experiences a huge shock. In a panic, he tries to attract attention, scream, touch the doctor, move objects, but as a rule, all his attempts are in vain. Nobody sees or hears him.
After some time, the person realizes that all his senses remain functional, despite the fact that his physical body is dead. Moreover, the patient experiences an indescribable lightness that he has never experienced before. This sensation is so wonderful that the dying person no longer wants to return to the body.
Some, after the above, return to the body, and on this their excursion into the afterlife ends, someone on the contrary manages to get into a tunnel, at the end of which a light is visible. Having passed a kind of gate, they see a world of great beauty.
Someone is met by relatives and friends, some meet with a bright being, from whom great love and understanding breathes. Someone is sure that this is Jesus Christ, someone claims that this is a guardian angel. But everyone agrees that he is full of kindness and compassion.
Of course, not everyone manages to admire the beauty and enjoy the bliss afterlife... Some people say that they fell into gloomy places and, returning, describe the disgusting and cruel creatures they saw.
Ordeals
Those who returned from the "other world" often say that at some point they saw their whole life at a glance. Each of their actions, a seemingly accidentally thrown phrase, and even thoughts swept before them as if in reality. At this moment, the person revised his whole life.
At this moment, there were no such concepts as social status, hypocrisy, pride. All the masks of the mortal world were thrown off and the man appeared to the court as if naked. He could not hide nothing. Each of his bad deeds was displayed in great detail and it was shown how it affected others and those who were hurt and suffering by such behavior.
At this time, all the advantages achieved in life - social and economic status, diplomas, titles, etc. - lose their meaning. The only thing that is subject to assessment is the moral side of actions. At this moment, a person realizes that nothing is erased and does not pass without a trace, but everything, even every thought, has consequences.
For evil and cruel people, this will truly be the beginning of unbearable inner torment, so-called, from which it is impossible to get away. Consciousness of the evil done, of a crippled soul and someone else's, becomes for such people like an "inextinguishable fire" from which there is no way out. It is this kind of judgment over actions that is referred to in the Christian religion as ordeals.
Afterworld
Having crossed the line, a person, despite the fact that all the senses remain the same, begins to feel everything around him in a completely new way. His feelings seem to start working one hundred percent. The gamut of feelings and experiences is so great that those who returned simply cannot explain in words everything that they had to feel there.
From the more mundane and familiar to us in perception, this is time and distance, which, according to those who have been in the afterlife, flows there absolutely differently.
People who have experienced clinical death often find it difficult to answer how long their posthumous state lasted. A few minutes, or several thousand years, it made no difference to them.
As for the distance, it was completely absent. A person could be transported to any point, at any distance, just by thinking about it, that is, by the power of thought!
Another surprising point is that not all of the reanimated describe places like heaven and hell. The descriptions of the places of certain individuals are simply breathtaking. They are sure that they were on other planets or in other dimensions and this seems to be true.
Judge for yourself word forms like hilly meadows; bright greens of a color that cannot be found on earth; fields flooded with wonderful golden light; cities indescribable with words; animals which you will not find anywhere else - all this does not relate to the descriptions of hell and paradise. People who visited there did not find the right words to intelligibly convey their impressions.
What does the soul look like
How do the deceased appear before others, and how do they look in their eyes? This question is of interest to many, and fortunately those who have been outside gave us an answer.
Those who were aware of their out-of-body state say that it was not easy for them to recognize themselves at first. First of all, the imprint of age disappears: children see themselves as adults, and old people - young.
The body is also changing. If a person had any injuries or injuries during his lifetime, then after death they disappear. Amputed limbs appear, hearing and vision return, if it was previously absent from the physical body.
Meetings after death
Those who have been on the other side of the “veil” often say that they met there with their deceased relatives, friends and acquaintances. Most often, people see those with whom they were close during life or were related.
Such visions cannot be considered the rule; rather, they are exceptions that do not happen very often. Usually such meetings serve as edification for those who are still too early to die and who must return to earth and change their lives.
Sometimes people see what they expected to see. Christians see angels, the Virgin Mary, Jesus Christ, saints. Non-religious people see some kind of temples, figures in white or young men, and sometimes they see nothing, but feel "presence."
Communication of souls
Many reanimated people claim that something or someone communicated with them there. When they are asked to tell what the conversation was about, they find it difficult to answer. This happens because of the language they do not know, or rather slurred speech.
For a long time, doctors could not explain why people did not remember or could not convey what they heard and considered it just hallucinations, but over time, some who returned were still able to explain the mechanism of communication.
It turned out that people there communicate mentally! Therefore, if in that world all thoughts are “heard”, then we need to learn to control our thoughts here, so that there we are not ashamed of what we involuntarily thought.
Go the frontier
Almost everyone who has experienced afterlife and remembers her, talks about a kind of barrier that separates the world of the living and the dead. Having crossed over to the other side, a person will never be able to return to life, and every soul knows it even to her about it and no one has informed.
This border is different for everyone. Some see a fence or lattice on the border of a field, others see the shore of a lake or sea, and still others as a gate, stream or cloud. The difference in the descriptions follows, again, from the subjective perception of each.
After reading all of the above, only an inveterate skeptic and materialist can say that afterlife it's fiction. Many doctors and scientists for a long time denied not only the existence of hell and heaven, but completely ruled out the possibility of the existence of an afterlife.
The testimony of eyewitnesses who experienced this state on themselves drove into a dead end all scientific theories that denied life after death. Of course, today there are a number of scientists who still consider all the testimony of the reanimated to be hallucinations, but such a person will not be helped by any evidence until he himself begins a journey into eternity.
“Before you were born, you didn’t need anything,
And having been born, he is doomed to need everything.
Only by throwing off the oppression of an insatiable body,
You will again become free, like God, a rich man. " OMAR KHAYYAM
Since time immemorial, people have been most afraid of death. This fear is the strongest, most deeply rooted in our consciousness. This fear is originally embedded in any living being. We are afraid of the unknown, and death for us is primarily the unknown. It is not given to people to move freely from life to death and back. "Nobody has ever returned from there!" - a common phrase. But is it?
University of North Carolina School of Medicine professor Robert Lanz argues that death is not the absolute end of life, but represents a transition to a parallel world. He says that "human life is like a perennial plant that always returns to bloom again in the multiverse." The scientist emphasizes that people believe in death, because "consciousness associates life with the functioning of internal organs."
The same is stated by Dr. Raymond Moody, an American psychologist and physician born in 1944. He devoted his entire life to this topic, finding that many people who have returned to life after clinical death share very unusual experiences, and their stories coincide in many details. This is what he writes in his book Life After Life:
“A person dies, and at the moment when his physical suffering reaches its limit, he hears the doctor declares him dead. He hears an unpleasant noise, loud ringing or buzzing, and at the same time he feels that he is moving at great speed through a long black tunnel.
After that, he suddenly finds himself outside his physical body, but still in the immediate physical environment, he sees his own body at a distance, like an outsider. He oversees attempts to bring him back to life with this unusual advantage, and is in a state of some emotional shock.
After a while, he gathers his thoughts and gradually gets used to his new position. He notices that he has a body, but of a completely different nature and with completely different properties than THAT physical body that he left.
Soon other things happen to him. The souls of other people come to him to meet him and help him. He sees the souls of already dead relatives and friends, and a luminous creature appears in front of him, from which emanates such love and warmth as he has never met.
This creature silently asks him a question that allows him to evaluate his life, and guides him through instant pictures of the most important events of his life, passing before his mind's eye in reverse order.
At some point, he discovers that he has approached some kind of barrier or boundary, which, apparently, constitutes the division between earthly and subsequent life. However, he discovers that he must return to earth, that the hour of his death has not yet come. At this moment he resists, since now he has learned the experience of another life and does not want to return.
He is overflowing with a sense of joy, love and peace. Despite his reluctance, he nevertheless somehow reconnects with his physical body and returns to life.
Later, he tries to tell others about all this, but it is difficult for him to do so. First of all, it is difficult for him to find adequate words in human language to describe these unearthly events. He also faces ridicule and stops telling other people.
Nevertheless, the events he experienced have a profound impact on his life and especially on his understanding of death and its relationship with life.
It is important to note that the above description is not an account of the experience of any particular person. Rather, it is a "model", a combination of common elements found in many stories.
I am bringing it here only to give a preliminary general idea of \u200b\u200bwhat a dying person might experience. Since this is a model and not a specific description, I will try ... to discuss in detail each of the elements based on numerous examples. "
“People who have experienced this, all as one characterize their experience as defying description, that is, 'ineffable'. Many stress this. “There are simply no words to express what I want to say” or “There are simply no adjectives or superlatives to describe it.”
One woman described it very succinctly as follows:
“It's a real problem for me to try to explain this to you now, because all the words I know are three-dimensional.
At the same time, when I was experiencing this, I did not stop thinking: “Well, when I went through geometry, I was taught that there are only three dimensions, and I have always believed this. But this is not true. There are more of them.
Yes, of course, our world, the one in which we live now, is three-dimensional, but the OTHER WORLD is definitely not three-dimensional. And that is why it is so difficult to tell you about it. I have to describe this to you in words that are three-dimensional. This is the best way to explain what I mean, but this explanation is not entirely adequate either. I practically cannot give you the complete picture. "
“It is common knowledge that most of us identify with our body ...
Prior to my experience of the nearness of death, the people I interviewed, as a whole, as a group, did not differ in their attitude to this issue from the ordinary average person.
That is why a dying person is so amazed after passing through a dark tunnel, because at this moment he discovers that he is looking at his physical body from the outside, as if he were an outside observer, or he sees people and events occurring as if on a stage or to the cinema.
Let's look at a few of these stories, which deal with such supernatural out-of-body experiences.
“I was eleven years old and my brother and I worked at Luna Park. One afternoon we decided to go swimming. There were several other young people with us. Someone suggested: "Let's swim across the lake." I did this many times, but this time for some reason I began to sink almost in the middle of the lake. I was floundering, now going down, now going up, and, suddenly, I felt that I was far from my body, far from everyone, as if by myself. Although I did not move, being at the same level all the time, I saw my body, being in the water at a distance of three or four feet, going down and up. I saw my body from the back and a little to the right. At the same time, I felt that I still have some kind of bodily shell, although I was outside my body. I had a feeling of lightness that is almost impossible to describe. I felt like a double to myself. "
"I felt like I had a complete body, with arms, legs, etc., but at the same time I was weightless."
People who have experienced such an experience, having somewhat accustomed to their new position, began to think more clearly and faster than during their physical existence. For example, one man described what happened while he was “dead”:
“Things were possible that are impossible now. Your consciousness is perfectly clear. It was nice. My consciousness could perceive all phenomena and immediately resolve the emerging issues, without returning again and again to the same thing. A little later, everything that I have experienced in life has reached such a state where somehow it began to make sense. "
The sensations that correspond to the physical hearing and vision remain unchanged for the spiritual body. They even become more perfect in comparison with the physical condition. One man said that when he was “dead,” his eyesight was incomparably sharper. Here are his words: "I just could not understand how I can see so far."
A woman speaking out about her near-death experience remarks: “It seemed that this spiritual vision knew no boundaries. I could see anything, anywhere. "
This condition is very clearly described in the following conversation with one woman who was in a state of clinical death due to an accident:
“There was an extraordinary commotion, people were running around the ambulance. When I peered at others to understand what was happening, the object immediately approached me, just like in an optical device: and I seemed to be in this device.
But at the same time it seemed to me that a part of me, that is, what I will call my consciousness, remained in place, a few yards from my body. When I wanted to see someone at some distance from me, it seemed to me that a part of me, something like some kind of body, was attracted to what I would like to see.
At that time it seemed to me that no matter what was happening in any part of the Earth, if I wanted to, I could be there. "
“Hearing” inherent in the spiritual state, obviously, can be called so only by analogy with what occurs in the physical world, since most of the respondents testify that they did not actually hear a physical sound or voice.
Rather, they thought they perceived the thoughts of those around them, and, as we will see later, this same mechanism of direct transmission of thoughts plays a very important role in the later stages of the death experience.
One lady describes it like this:
“I could see the people around me and understand everything they were talking about. I heard them as I hear you. It was more like if I found out what they were thinking, but it was perceived only by my consciousness, and not through what they said. I already understood them literally a second before they opened their mouths to say something. "
Finally, based on one unique and very interesting message, it can be seen that even severe trauma to the physical body does not have any harmful effects on the sensations of the spiritual body. In this example, we are talking about a man who lost most of his leg in an accident, followed by clinical death.
He knew about this, since he clearly saw his mutilated body from a certain distance, as well as the doctor who provided him with first aid. However, while he was out of his body:
“I could feel my body as if it were whole. I felt myself whole and I felt that I was all like that, that is, in a spiritual body, although this was not so. "
Then, it should be pointed out that in this disembodied state the person is, as it were, cut off from his own kind. A person can see other people and fully understand their thoughts, but they can neither see nor hear him.
“Everything that I saw and experienced at that time was so beautiful that it is simply impossible to describe it. I wanted others to be there with me too, to see everything that I see. And even then I felt that I would never be able to retell to anyone what I saw. I felt lonely, because I really wanted someone to be next to me and feel what I feel. But I knew that no one else could be there. I felt at the time that I was in a world completely isolated from everything else. And then I was overcome by a feeling of deep depression. "
Or: “I could not touch or move anything, could not contact any of the people around me. It was a feeling of fear and loneliness, a feeling of complete isolation. "
“However, soon the feeling of loneliness that grips the dying person dissipates as he sinks deeper and deeper into this state. The fact is that other persons begin to appear before the dying person in order to help him in this transitional state.
They are perceived as the souls of other people, often those who were close relatives or friends of the deceased, and whom he knew well during his lifetime. In most cases, the people I interviewed talked about the appearance of these spiritual beings, although these stories are very different. "
Already in old age, Dr. Moody continues to study the experience of communication with the other world deeper and deeper, making more and more new discoveries.
But similar topics are of interest to other researchers in this area. With the help of the methods of regressive hypnosis, interesting data have been obtained about the further path after not clinical, but physical death of a person.
8.06.14. - 10-minute film and continuation of the theme -
One of the eternal questions to which humanity does not have an unambiguous answer - what awaits us after death?
Ask this question to the people around you and you will get different answers. They will depend on what the person believes in. And regardless of faith, many are afraid of death. They do not try to simply admit the very fact of its existence. But only our physical body dies, and the soul is eternal.
There was no time when neither I nor you existed. And in the future, none of us will cease to exist.
Bhagavad-gita. Chapter two. Soul in the world of matter.
Why are so many people afraid of death?
Because they relate their “I” only with the physical body. They forget that each of them has an immortal, eternal soul. They do not know what happens during and after dying.
This fear is generated by our ego, which accepts only what can be proven through experience. Is it possible to find out what death is and is there an afterlife “without harm to health”?
All over the world there are a sufficient number of documented stories of people,
Scientists on the verge of proving life after death
An unexpected experiment was carried out in September 2013. in an English hospital in Southampton. Doctors recorded the testimonies of patients who survived clinical death. The head of the research group, cardiologist Sam Parnia, shared the results:
“From the earliest days of my medical career, I have been interested in the problem of disembodied sensations. In addition, some of my patients have experienced clinical death. Gradually, I gathered more and more stories of those who insisted that in a state of coma they flew over their own bodies.
However, there was no scientific evidence for such information. And I decided to find an opportunity to test it in a hospital.
For the first time in history, a medical facility was specially re-equipped. In particular, in the wards and operating rooms, we hung thick boards with colored drawings under the ceiling. And most importantly, they began to record in the most thorough way, up to seconds, everything that happens to each patient.
From the moment his heart stopped, his pulse and breathing stopped. And in those cases when the heart then managed to start and the patient began to come to his senses, we immediately wrote down everything he did and said.
All behavior and all words, gestures of each patient. Now our knowledge of "disembodied sensations" is much more systematized and complete than before. "
Almost a third of patients clearly and distinctly remember themselves in a coma. At the same time, no one has seen the drawings on the boards!
Sam and his colleagues came to the following conclusions:
“From a scientific point of view, it's been a big success. Established general sensations in people who, as it were.
They suddenly begin to understand everything. Completely relieved of pain. They feel pleasure, comfort, even bliss. They see their dead relatives and friends. They are enveloped in soft and very pleasant light. There is an atmosphere of extraordinary kindness around ”.
When asked if the participants in the experiment believed that they had been in “another world,” Sam replied:
“Yes, and although this world was somewhat mystical for them, it was still. As a rule, patients reached a gate or some other place in the tunnel, from where there is no way back and where it is necessary to decide whether to return ...
And you know, almost everyone now has a completely different perception of life. It changed due to the fact that the person passed the moment of blissful spiritual existence. Almost all of my charges admitted that, although they did not want to die.
The transition to another world turned out to be an extraordinary and pleasant experience. After the hospital, many began to work in charitable organizations. "
At the moment, the experiment continues. Another 25 UK hospitals are joining the study.
The memory of the soul is immortal
There is a soul, and it does not die with the body. Dr. Parnia's confidence is shared by the United Kingdom's largest medical luminary.
The famous professor of neuroscience from Oxford, the author of works translated into many languages, Peter Fenis rejects the opinion of the majority of scientists on the planet.
They believe that the body, when it stops its functions, releases certain chemicals, which, passing through the brain, really cause extraordinary sensations in a person.
“The brain doesn't have time to do the 'shutdown procedure',” says Professor Fenis.
“For example, during a heart attack, a person sometimes loses consciousness at lightning speed. Along with consciousness, memory also goes away. So how can you discuss episodes that people are not able to remember?
But since they clearly talk about what happened to them when their brain activity is disabledtherefore, there is a soul, spirit or something else that allows you to be in consciousness outside the body. "
What happens after you die?
The physical body is not the only one we have. In addition to it, there are several thin bodies assembled on the principle of matryoshka dolls.
The subtle level closest to us is called ether or astral. We simultaneously exist in the material world and in the spiritual world.
In order to maintain life in the physical body, food and drink are needed, in order to maintain vital energy in our astral body, communication with the Universe and with the surrounding material world is needed.
Death ceases to exist the densest of all our bodies, and the astral body is cut off from the connection with reality.
The astral body, being freed from the physical shell, is transported to another quality - to the soul. And the soul has a connection only with the Universe. This process is described in sufficient detail by people who have experienced clinical death.
Naturally, they do not describe its last stage, for they only get to the nearest to the material 
substance level, their astral body still does not lose connection with the physical body and they are not fully aware of the fact of death.
The transport of the astral body to the soul is called the second death. After that, the soul goes to another world.
Once there, the soul discovers that it consists of different levels intended for souls of varying degrees of development.
When the death of the physical body occurs, the subtle bodies begin to gradually separate. Subtle bodies also have different densities, and, accordingly, different amounts of time are required for their disintegration.
On the third day after the physical disintegrates the etheric body, which is called the aura.
After nine days the emotional body disintegrates, in forty days mental body. The body of spirit, soul, experience - casual - goes into the space between lives.
Suffering greatly for the departed loved ones, we thereby prevent their subtle bodies from dying in due time. Thin shells get stuck where they shouldn't be. Therefore, you need to let them go, thanking them for all the experience they shared.
Is it possible to deliberately look beyond life?
As a person dresses in new clothes, throwing away old and worn-out ones, so the soul is incarnated in a new body, leaving the old and lost strength.
Bhagavad Gita. Chapter 2. Soul in the material world.
Each of us has lived more than one life, and this experience is stored in our memory.
Every soul has a different experience of dying. And you can remember it.
Why remember the experience of dying in past lives? To take a different look at this stage. To understand what actually happens at the moment of dying and after it. Finally, to stop being afraid of death.
At the Institute of Reincarnation, you can get the experience of dying using simple techniques. For those in whom the fear of death is too strong, there is a safety technique that allows you to painlessly view the process of the soul leaving the body.
Here are some student reviews of their experiences of dying.
Kononuchenko Irina , first year student of the Institute of Reincarnation:
I watched several deaths in different bodies: female and male.
After natural death in female incarnation (I am 75 years old), the soul did not want to ascend to the World of Souls. I was left to wait for my husband, who was still to live. During his lifetime, he was an important person and close friend to me.
Feels like we lived in perfect harmony. I was the first to die, the Soul came out through the third eye. Realizing my husband's grief after “my death,” I wanted to support him with my invisible presence, and I didn't want to leave myself. After some time, when both "got used and got used to" in a new state, I ascended to the World of Souls and waited for him there.
After natural death in the body of a man (harmonious incarnation), the Soul easily said goodbye to the body and ascended into the world of Souls. There was a feeling of a completed mission, a successfully completed lesson, a sense of satisfaction. A discussion of life took place at once.
In case of a violent death (I am a man dying on the battlefield from being wounded), the Soul leaves the body through the chest, there is a wound. Until the moment of death, life flashed before my eyes.
I am 45 years old, wife, children ... so I want to see them and squeeze them .. and I like this .. it is not clear where and how ... and alone. Tears in my eyes, regret for the "unlived" life. After leaving the body, the Soul is not easy, it is again met by the Angels-helpers.
Without additional energetic reconfiguration, I (soul) cannot independently free myself from the burden of incarnation (thoughts, emotions, feelings). A "capsule-centrifuge" is presented, where through strong rotation-acceleration there is an increase in frequencies and "separation" from the experience of incarnation.
Marina Cana , 1st year student of the Institute of Reincarnation:
In total, I went through 7 experiences of dying, of which three were violent. I will describe one of them.
Girl, Ancient Russia. I was born into a large peasant family, I live in unity with nature, I love spinning with my friends, singing songs, walking in the forest and in the fields, helping my parents with the housework, babysitting my younger brothers and sisters.
Men are not interested, the physical side of love is not clear. The guy got married, but was afraid of him.
I saw how I was carrying water on a yoke, he blocked the road, and said: "You will be mine anyway!" To prevent others from wooing, I spread a rumor that I was not of this world. And I'm glad, no one is needed, I told my parents that I would not marry.
She did not live long, died at the age of 28, was not married. She died of a strong fever, lay in a fever and delirium all wet, her hair stuck together from sweat. The mother sits next to him, sighs, wipes her with a wet cloth, gives water to drink from a wooden ladle. The soul flies out of the head, as if pushed out from the inside when the mother went out into the hallway.
The soul looks from above to the body, no regret. Mother comes in, starts wailing. Then the father resorts to shouts, shakes his fists in the sky, shouts to the dark icon in the corner of the hut: "What have you done!" The kids huddled together, quiet and frightened. The soul leaves calmly, it is not a pity for anyone.
Then the soul seems to be drawn into a funnel, flying up to the light. It looks like clouds of steam in outlines, next to it there are the same clouds, whirl, intertwine, rushing up. Fun and easy! Knows that life has lived as planned. In the World of Souls, laughing, a beloved soul meets (this is unfaithful). She understands why she died early - it became not interesting to live, knowing that he was not in embodiment, she strove to him faster.
Simonova Olga , 1st year student of the Institute of Reincarnation
All my dying was similar. Separation from the body and smooth rise above it ... and then just as smoothly up above the Earth. Basically, this is a natural death in old age.
One looked over violent (cutting off the head), but saw it outside the body, as if from the outside and did not feel any tragedy. On the contrary, relief and gratitude to the executioner. Life was aimless, feminine. The woman wanted to commit suicide in her youth, as she was left without parents.
She was saved, but even then she lost the meaning in life and was never able to restore it ... Therefore, she accepted a violent death as a blessing for her.
This is the fifth and final article in a series on death issues. Any living structure in the sense of energy exchange obeys the law of the pentagram: organs and systems of the human body, the construction of interactions in the family and the production team ... From experience we can say that five facets of consideration of any topic can create the effect of an exhaustive representation (sensation) about it.
The fear of death is that fundamental fear, to the type of which it is possible to reduce all the variety of fears experienced by a person, up to the "paradoxical": fear of fear (fear of being scared) and fear of life! ☺
As long as there is fear, there is no freedom, no joy, no sense, there is BLOCKING.
That is why we contrast the phenomenon of fear of death with the symbol of harmonious LIFE !!! ☺
The topic for us is far from theoretical.
Behind our shoulders and support (for research purposes) the centers of the mind of dead people (John Brinkley did the same, the same topic was considered in the film "I Remain", in which Andrei Krasko starred before his death), and the study of materials left by predecessors and very respectful use of the results of instrumental research, which Professor Korotkov carried out at the risk of his life in morgues.
He and his associates investigated the energy activity of the shell of dead people up to 9 - 40 (!!!) days, and the measurement results could clearly show whether the person under study died from:
- old age
- accident
- karmic withdrawal from life (in this case, there was no residual membrane activity at all)
- negligence / ignorance (in these cases, it was simply necessary in a dangerous period from the point of view of Astrology to observe maximum accuracy and attentiveness, to use the personality's abilities to choose a conservative or evolutionary scenario for the unfolding of events in order to avoid an astrologically predictable tragic scenario! Near the bodies of these "careless deceased" In the future, the instruments recorded many attempts of the "once gaped" center of the Mind of the deceased to penetrate inside "his body" and revive it. ”It was from such" underdeveloped "," disliked "," not fulfilling the task set by the Spirit of the incarnate "experimenters had to endure a lot of problems that affect also on their health!)
In the summer of 1995, at a conference on weak and superweak interactions, held in St. Petersburg, we talked about the ways of a safe way out of these consequences of experiments with the professor. He was also provided with our experience in accompanying the departed and researching the phenomenon of exercism ...
In this article we will try to dispel the veil of obscurity and consider in detail the processes that occur with a person after death from the point of view of physics.
After all, the answer to the question of what will happen after death is key in overcoming the most powerful human fear - the fear of death, as well as its derivative - the fear of life ... that is, fears that together stick their subconscious sticks into the wheels of consciousness of almost any person.
But before giving a detailed answer to the question of what awaits us after death, it is necessary to understand what death is and what a Man is.
Let's start, perhaps, with the definition of Man, Man with a capital letter.
So, in full divine completeness, Man is a triune being, consisting of:
- Physical bodybelonging to the material world (has a genetic history of construction) - iron
- Personalities - a complex of acquired psychological qualities and attitudes (ego) - software
- Spirit - an object of the causal plane of existence of matter (has an embodied history of construction), incarnating into a physical body during the cycles of reincarnation to gain the necessary experience - user
Italics is a computer analogy.
Figure: 1. What will happen after death. The “Holy Trinity” is a multilevel structure of Man on various planes of the existence of matter, which includes Spirit, Personality and Physical body
It is in this set of structural units that Man is the Holy Trinity.
However, it should be borne in mind that not all representatives of homo sapiens have such a complete set.
There are also frankly soulless people: Physical body + Personality (Ego) without the 3rd component - Spirit. These are the so-called "matrix" people, whose consciousness is governed by patterns, frameworks, social norms, fears and selfish aspirations. The Incarnation Spirit simply cannot “reach out” to them in order to convey to the consciousness the true tasks facing this person for the current incarnation.
The diaphragm of consciousness for corrective signals "from above" is tightly closed in such a person.
A kind of horse without a rider or a car without a driver!
He runs somewhere, goes according to a program laid down by someone, but he cannot answer the question “Why is this all”! In a word, the human matrix ...
Figure: 2. "Matrix" person, led through life by ego-templates and programs
Accordingly, the answer to the question of what happens after death will be different for a spiritual person and a spiritless person.
Let's take a closer look at the physics of what will happen after death for these 2 cases!
What will happen after the death of a person. Process physics
Definition:
Death is a change of dimension
According to medical indicators, the moment of cardiac arrest and breathing of a person is taken as the fact of physical death. From that moment on, we can assume that a person is dead, or rather, his physical body is dead. But what happens to the center of human consciousness and his field (energetic) sheath, which covers the physical body in the process of all conscious life? Do these energy-information objects have life after death?
Figure: 3. Human energy-informational shells
Literally the following happens: at the moment of death, the center of consciousness together with the energy shell are separated from the deceased body (physical carrier) and form the astral essence. That is, after physical death, a Man simply moves to a more subtle plane of the existence of matter - the astral plane.
Figure: 4. Stable plans for the existence of matter.
"Bird of materialization / dematerialization" - the process of transition of information into energy (and vice versa) over time
The capacity for thinking on this plane is also preserved and the center of consciousness continues to function. For some time, phantom sensations from the body (legs, hands, fingers) may even persist ... Additional opportunities appear for movement in space at the level of mental stimuli, leading to movement in the chosen direction.
In detailing the answer to the question of what happens after death, it is worth clarifying that a deceased person, having passed into a new form of subtle-material existence - the object of the astral plane described above - can exist at this level up to 9 days after the death of the physical body.
As a rule, this object during these 9 days is not far from the place of its death or the usual territory of residence (apartment, house). That is why it is recommended to cover all the mirrors in the house with a dense cloth after a person leaves life, so that the center of consciousness that has departed to the astral plane cannot see its new, not yet familiar appearance. The shape of this object (Human) of the astral plane is predominantly spherical. The object includes the center of consciousness as a separate intelligent structure, plus the surrounding energy-shell, the so-called energy-cocoon.
If during his lifetime a person was very strongly attached to material things and his place of residence, then in order to facilitate the "retreat" of the deceased to the more subtle planes of the existence of matter, it is recommended to burn the things of the deceased: in this way, he can be helped to get rid of the densely material reality and transfer additional energy - the lifting force from the flame plasma.
What awaits us after death. Transients between 0-9 and 9-40 days
So, we found out what will happen after the death of a person at the initial stage. What's next?
As mentioned earlier, during the first 9 days after death, the deceased is in the so-called layer of the lower astral, where energy interactions still prevail over informational ones. This period is given to the deceased so that he can correctly complete and energetically “release” all the connections that hold him on the earth's surface.
Figure: 5. Breaking and letting go of energy ties in the period from 0-9 days after death
On the 9th day, as a rule, there is a transition of the center of consciousness and the energy-cocoon to the higher layers of the astral plane, where the energy connection with the material world is no longer so dense. Here, the information processes of this level are already beginning to exert greater influence, and their resonance with programs and beliefs formed in the current incarnation and stored in the center of human consciousness.
The process of compaction and sorting of information and experience accumulated in the center of consciousness, obtained in the current incarnation, begins, that is, the so-called process of disk defragmentation (in terms of computer systems).
Figure: 6. What happens after death. Defragmentation (ordering) of information and accumulated experience in the center of human consciousness
Until the 40th day (after the death of the physical body), the deceased still has the opportunity to return to those places where he still has some kind of connections at the energetic or informational level.
Therefore, during this period of time, close relatives can still feel the presence of the deceased person “somewhere nearby”, sometimes even see his “blurred” appearance. But such a tight connection is more characteristic of the first 9 days, then it weakens.
What will happen after the death of a person in the period after 40 days
After the 40th day, the main (most important) transition occurs!
The center of consciousness with already relatively defragmented (compacted and sorted) information begins to "suck" into the so-called mental tunnel. Walking through this tunnel resembles a quick view of a movie about a lived life with scrolling of events in the opposite direction.
Figure: 7. Light at the end of the mental tunnel. Reverse scrolling of life events
If a person has had a lot of stresses and unresolved conflicts during his life, then in order to repay them during the return passage through the tunnel, they will require the expenditure of energy, which can be taken from the energy cocoon (the former energy shell of a person) that envelops the leaving center of consciousness.
This energy cocoon performs a function similar to that of the fuel on a launch vehicle that propels a rocket into outer space!
Figure: 8. Transfer of the center of consciousness to the more subtle planes of the existence of matter, as the launch of a rocket into outer space. Fuel is spent to overcome the forces of gravity
A church prayer (funeral service for the deceased) or candles lit for the repose of a departed person on the 40th day also helps in passing this tunnel. The plasma of the candle flame releases very large volumes of free energy, which the outgoing center of consciousness can use when passing through the mental tunnel to “pay” for karmic debts and unresolved problems of the energy-informational level accumulated during the current incarnation.
At the moment of passage through the tunnel, all unnecessary information, not complete in full-fledged programs and not corresponding to the laws of subtle planes, is also cleared from the database of the center of consciousness.
From the point of view of physical processes, the center of consciousness passes through the memory body of the 4th dimension (Soul) in the opposite direction until the moment of conception (points of the Genome) and then moves inside the Spirit (Causal body)!
Figure: 9. What will happen after death. Reverse passage of the center of consciousness through the memory body (Soul) to the point of the Genome with the subsequent transition to the Causal body
The light at the end of the tunnel just accompanies the process of this transition from the point of conception into the structure of the Individual Spirit!
Further processes occurring at this level, as well as the processes of reincarnation (new incarnation), will be left outside the scope of this article for now ...
What will happen after the death of a person. Possible deviations from the described harmonious scenario
So, understanding the question of what awaits us after death and what will happen to us, we have described here a harmonious scenario of departure to another world.
But there are also deviations from this scenario. Basically, they concern people who have “sinned” in their current incarnation, as well as those who do not want to “let go” into another world by numerous grieving relatives.
Let's talk about these 2 scenarios in more detail:
1. If a person in the current incarnation has gained a lot of negative experience, problems, stresses, energy debts while interacting with other people, then his transition to another world after death can be very difficult. Such a center of consciousness with an energy cocoon that departed after physical death looks like a balloon with a huge amount of ballast pulling it down, back to the earth's surface.
Figure: 10. Ballast at the balloon. "Karmically burdened" person
Such deceased, even on the 40th day, can still be in the lower layers of the astral plane, trying to somehow free themselves from the pulling down bindings. Their relatives can also very clearly feel their close presence, as well as a very strong outflow of energy, affecting the health of their living relatives. This is the so-called form of post-mortal vampirism.
In this case, it is worth ordering a funeral service for the deceased in the church. This can help such a "heavy" soul of a deceased person to get rid of earthly reality.
If a deceased person managed to “sin” very seriously in the current incarnation, he may not go through the reincarnation filter at all, remaining in the lower and middle layers of the astral plane. In this case, such a Soul becomes the so-called astral Publican.
This is how ghosts and ghosts are formed - these are just such entities from the lower layers of the astral world that have not passed reincarnation filters due to karmic burden.
Figure: 11. Physics of formation of ghosts and ghosts. A fragment from the cartoon "The Canterville Ghost"
2. The soul of a deceased person can also linger for a long time in the lower layers of the astral world, if it is not let go for a long time by grieving relatives who do not understand the physics and nature of death processes.
In this case, it resembles a large, beautiful flying balloon that has been hooked up with ropes pulling it back to the ground. And here the whole question is whether the ball will have enough lift to overcome this resistance.
Figure: 12. Reverse attraction of the soul of a deceased person to earthly reality. The importance of the ability to "let go" of the departing Soul
What are the consequences of this often? In the event that a child is conceived in a given family, which has not let go of a deceased relative in its thoughts, then we can say with almost 99% probability that this child will be an open reincarnation of a recently departed relative. Why open? Because the previous incarnation in this case closes incorrectly (without passing through the mental tunnel to the center of the Spirit) and the recently departed Soul from the astral world (since it did not have time to go higher) is “dragged” back into a new physical body.
This is the physics of giving birth to a large number of Indigo children! With a deeper study, it turns out that only 10% of them can be attributed to real Indigos, and the remaining 90% are, as a rule, "reincarnations" pulled back into this world according to the scenario described above (although it happens that "Heavy" object from scenario # 1). They are so developed very often only because their experience of the previous incarnation was not correctly erased, and the past incarnation itself was not harmoniously closed. In this case, the answer to the question "who was I in a past life" for such children is very obvious. True, this can also affect the state of health of such children with open reincarnation.
Figure: 13. The nature of the Indigo children.
Indigo or open reincarnation of one of the relatives?
Thus, the child's consciousness gains open access to all the experience and knowledge of the past life. And who was there - a mathematician, scientist, musician or car mechanic - just determines his pseudo-genius and premature giftedness!
Correct care and change of dimension
In the case when the center of Consciousness after death successfully "leaves" in the subtle planes of the existence of matter, passing into the structure of the Individual Spirit, then depending on the experience accumulated by the Spirit for the current and all previous incarnations, as well as depending on the completeness and completeness / inferiority of information programs in the structure of Spirit, 2 scenarios are possible:
- The next incarnation into the physical body (as a rule, this changes the gender of the biological carrier)
- The exit of their circle of physical incarnations (Samsara) and the transition to a new subtle-material level - Teachers (Curators).
These are the pies, as they say! :-))
So, before leaving for another world ... it's worthwhile even here to study physics at least a little!
As well as basic instructions and rules before taking off into Space!
May come in handy!
