*Consciousness and Dying*



Q:  I would like to talk about what the feelings are that the soul
experiences at the death of the body, and whether it anticipates many...

B:  Oh, many different things, depending on the belief systems that were
present during life. Do you have a specific idea in mind?

Q:  What is our awareness at the time of death?

B:  It can be, again, many different things; all the way from not knowing
you are dead, to reveling in the ecstasy of your complete and total
recognition of all that you are! And anything in between is possible. (AUD:
laughter)

Q:  Well, that leaves a lot to be desired.

B:  A lot to be desired?


Q:  I guess I better try and relate it to myself.


B:  Very good. That is the only way you can relate to it anyway. (AUD:
laughter) What do you think you will be aware of when you transform into
non-physicality?

Q:  Ah...

B:  Obviously because you are asking the question, it is altogether highly
probable that you will /know/ you have died, first of all. And you may even
allow yourself the opportunity to recognize that everything that occurred
in the physical life was according to your purpose. That it has served you,
and will then allow you to decide for yourself whether or not you want
another physical life or wish to experience reality on some other level.

Q:  How long does this process of choice take?

B:  Anywhere from one microsecond to millions of years, (AUD: laughter)
again, depending upon your designs.

Q:  Now, at that point, am I in total awareness of my Oversoul and my
Higher Self?

B:  Again, not necessarily. If you do not even know you are dead, how can
you be aware of those levels?

Q:  (Laughs) Well, if you can be aware of those levels in life, in this
life...

B:  Yes, then it is altogether likely that you will be aware of them in
death.

Q:  How do you become aware of them at death? How did /you/ become aware of
them at death when you made your transition?

B:  I was already aware of them in life.

Q:  How do you become aware of them in life?

B:  By allowing. By trusting. By living.

Q:  Trusting. All right. You also are inclined to say "we" when you answer
a question.

B:  Yes.

Q:  Who is "we?"

B:  All of us. (AUD: laughter) It is the idea of my civilization at times.
Sometimes it is the idea of all the civilizations with whom we are in
contact, which forms what we call the Association. Sometimes it is the
collective consciousness of our world and your world combined, and many
other worlds. It will simply depend again upon the direction of the
interaction that is going on.

Sometimes I will say "I," as I just did. Sometimes I will say "we." And
sometimes we will say "we." For in this way, as I form a connection to the
physical channel before you, many times in that way, I and we will allow
there to be, from time to time, the connection that I always have with the
rest of my society to be paramount in the information; because it will make
a difference to the quality and context of the information coming through.
Is that all?

Q:  Yes, thank you.

B:  Thank you.
