Jed Rant: What happens when you die...
« on: September 07, 2017, 06:35:07 am »
Dear Members and lurkers:

Catchy title? Everyone wants to know what happens after death and yes, I can do even more than explain it to you, I can show you graphically exactly what it is like.

First off, for purposes of grokking this, I request you take the perspective, even if only for a moment, that everything in your human dream is 180 degrees off... a little like a reflection in a mirror. Allow for that possibility while you read the following.

When you appear to have been born into humanness, you died to your True Nature, to Truth. You were birthed into this human dream but it was actually a death from the perspective of Truth.

When you appear to die in the human dream, what is really happening is you are being born back into your True nature... Truth. When you are born you die and when you die you are born.

Imagine a night dream... the characters appear within a dream, they are birthed. Later that dream ends and the characters disappear (die). Where did they go? Nowhere, because there never existed. Yes, they appeared to have a variety of experiences within that night dream which might indicate they were ''real'' characters.. seeing, hearing, feeling various experiences, but they were not ''real''. From their dream perspective they felt real, but upon awakening the dreaming human realizes they were just illusory.

In a lucid dream, which you have probably experienced, you wake up to your true nature as that of the human character having the night dream. You awaken inside the dream to the reality that the character in the night dream is the creation of a human. Said human is outside the dream. Where does the night dream character go? Nowhere, because he/she wasn't ''real'' to start with. You might say he/she died and was absorbed back in the dreaming human. As above, so below.

Contemplate this.... you are already dead. You couldn't be deader and some day you will die to this human dream and will become alive to your True Nature. Truth is the dreamer and, in your human format you are a dreamed character.

You might ask why your human character seems so real and believable. Your night dreams appear real while they are happening. If your dream of humanness did not appear real, with the validation of the senses and human drama, you would not stick around for the entertainment.

Could all this human dream be solely for entertainment? You can make up any reason you want for this human dream, I find entertainment works for me. Your feedback is welcome.

Love ya, Jed.

Seems like one of those things that if you don't know for sure, there isn't any good reason to make something up. I tend to just go with what is until it isn't. The details concerning how and why remain pretty unnecessary.

Thanks for sharing :)

Maybe death is just that what i want it to be. Maybe, after dying, i'll be born again, same consiousness, new set of brains to start all over again. We'll see. Interesting theory mr mckenna. So how many deaths/births away from the core? How many layers of life/consiousness to explore? How many dreams to wake from? Infinite? Who knows.. a mysterious and wonderful concept to contenplate. What happens to this consiousness when this body dies... will it die with it? I wont be noticing it if thats true .

The subject comes by every ones and a while. I was dreaming about death and the possibilities concerning reincarnation. En ended up with the theory: what if we fear death because we unconsiously fear birth?

I read this today and then read the Adam & Eve conversation in Dreamstate. No accidents in sure that they both showed up at the same time. I'm really having a hard time with this. The way it occurs is that God is **** with us for entertainment???? Maybe what's missing is that I still see consciousness/God as separate from me as opposed to getting that there is no separation? I'm stuck!

That 180 degree tidbit didn't seem to have any relevance or necessity...
Did I miss something and if so what was it?

Me and my true nature, if i dieded to my true nature either that is not me or that is not my truenature. The true nature that can be named is not the real true nature as in the classics. Actually i don't think there can be any certainty regarding death, whatever infotmation can come about this, even from and for the enlightened ones, is tributarry to this dying true nature, and it comes from a living thing.

This "reality" seems absolutely unbelievable from the state before/after this. It is like a cardboard cut out symbolic version of reality. It is a poor attempt at replacing the home one can never leave by putting up little boxes and calling them "home".  It is imagining all sorts of insanity and calling it love as if to hide the reality of love that is the very essence of all of it. It's a strange delusion. A strange sort of madness chosen again and again and again.  It's spectacular. The mad hatters tea party and through the looking glass.  It is quite a story.

Take someone who doesn't keep score, who's not looking to be richer or afraid of losing, who has not the slightest interest even in his own personality. He is free ~ rumi

I think it is as Nisargadatta says: The dream continues after the death of the body... Delusion(games) will keep getting new bodies of expression until it decides to annihilate itself, IMO.

Everytime I died in a dream, existence continued to be the same, with all it's delusions and drama... the only difference was the absence of the body. The proccess can be different on waking life though
