The strangest thing I took away from the apparent realization of being dead, was that even though my conscious mind KNEW that I would then be leaving behind my wife, my son, and all of my other loved ones, it's as if in "THAT PLACE" (the place that Terence referred to as the "ecology of souls"

, sadness, pain, and anything short of PURE LOVE, don't seem to be able to get a foothold... When confronted with ones own death, the popular thought might be that you would be "sad" or "disappointed" about loved ones left behind, business unfinished, and conflicts left unresolved, and yet the OVERWHELMING sense, is that beyond this shell, we know as our human body, those kinds of ills cease to exist. I had my first "breakthrough" almost 9 years ago, and STILL to this day, am integrating the information and lessons imparted upon me way back then.....
โYou have to take seriously the notion that understanding the universe is your responsibility, because the only understanding of the universe that will be useful to you is your own understanding.โ
