Chapter 5
DEATH, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DIE
Not much actually happens, other than that you lose the ability to use the body you are now in, and you lose the ability to interact with the 3rd density/dimension. You continue to think, you continue to have memories, and you continue to have a body. To many it all seems so real that they do not realize they are dead — or, better said, that they are NO longer on this plane of existence, that they have lost their third-density bodies and are now part of the 4th density/dimension, creating their own reality from past memories.
I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.Mark Twain
Basically, there are two possibilities when you die. In the first, you are aware of what has happened and of where you are; in this case you can pick and choose where to go and what to do, with a full array of options at your disposal. You are able to use, to your advantage, all the laws of physics of the 4th density/dimension — like almost-instant travel, telepathy, levitation, conscious creation, and much more.
In the second, you do not realize that you are dead, and you create your own environment, very similar to what you were accustomed to when you were alive. This environment is as real as your dreams, and comes from the same source. If you do not want to fall into this second category, then it is very important that you learn how to awaken your consciousness. For this, I recommend you start with the free courses provided by the Gnosis groups (see the chapter on Gnosis). The fear of death is completely lost once you learn how to astral travel.
See Chapter 11, on Astral Travel.
Death is not only no longer a source of fear, but in fact becomes something to embrace with excitement and anticipation when the time arrives — and with it comes a knowing, beyond all doubt, of the true reality: a life of peace, tranquility, and harmony awaiting beyond the confines of the physical world.
Death does not go without the subject of rebirth. What is inevitably forgotten in the death process is that the transition — in any situation — is really about death and rebirth. Death is not the end, but just the closing of one door before the next one (or many others) opens. Obviously, the solution is to concentrate more on the fascination of the rebirth — into something inevitably more interesting, exciting, delightful, and just plain fun — than on the prerequisite of first ending the less delightful portion of a continuous life.
Death is about life, not about heaven.
