1
00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:09.679
I've been deathly afraid of death.
It's a pardon the punt. I've been
2
00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:13.199
incredibly afraid of death my entire life. It's what was my biggest fear.
3
00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:16.960
And the question was always raised,
why why are you so afraid of death?
4
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:20.719
And my fear was that that once
you die, it's lights out,
5
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:23.359
that's it no more, you have
no more consciousness, you don't want to
6
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:27.480
exist anymore, and that to me
was such a scary thought. Well,
7
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:31.839
through the course of these explorations that
we've had on the show, through the
8
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:39.799
course of modern medicine and research looking
into things, and most importantly through my
9
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:48.640
wife's question, I've learned that there's
nothing to fear. And the question that
10
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:53.799
she posed to me was if there
is nothing there, you're not going to
11
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:58.159
know any different. So isn't it
nice or just to think that there is
12
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:02.840
something beyond this life life so that
you can look forward to and if there
13
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:06.760
is nothing, there's nothing to fear
because you won't know the difference. Isn't
14
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:10.959
it better to live your life knowing
that there's something else? And it just
15
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:15.239
clicked that absolutely, that's a better
way of living because I was living in
16
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:19.920
fear and the ability for me to
put that fear behind me has helped me
17
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:23.280
to realize and open up to the
possibility of something else. And then,
18
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.640
of course, now that you're having
all these research that are finding that sure
19
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:34.120
enough, consciousness does exist beyond brain
debt. Everyone thought your brain was was
20
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:38.719
what made consciousness, your brain created
consciousness. Now they're finding that's not the
21
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:42.879
case. That even after brain debt, they have measured consciousness beyond it.
22
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:47.159
So it it just has it's if
you're looking at it from a pragmatic point
23
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:49.359
of view. More and more research
is pointing to the fact that that we
24
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:55.560
are a lot more than this three
dimensional body we inhabit. Then well,
25
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:57.560
for me, I used to I
grew up going to Catholic school, and
26
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:01.799
I believed the heaven and you go
and there's God and that whole thing.
27
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:06.159
And I still do believe in God. It's a different interpretation of it.
28
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.520
But now whereas before I felt like
I was going to a different place,
29
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:15.120
now through these conversations, through meditations
I've had, through experiences, I feel
30
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:21.400
like it's going home. I feel
like it's going home to this beautiful,
31
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:30.000
energetic, loving network of just happiness
and ease and peace and love. Yeah,
32
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:32.080
and to follow up on that,
we talked earlier about the fact that
33
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:37.960
we create our own reality on this
three dimensional space. If when once we
34
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:42.000
pass, if that veil, that
three dimensional veil is no longer there,
35
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:46.639
and we were creators or manifestors here
on this lane, how can we not
36
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:52.840
be creators in the afterlife, much
stronger than we are now, because we
37
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:57.759
don't have the limitations of this physical
body. So my theory is that when
38
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:02.919
you die, wouldever you think happens, that's what you create. For example,
39
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:07.159
we had someone that came on our
show who had a near death experience
40
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:10.680
and when she died. She was
raised Catholic, she was very Catholic.
41
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:15.919
Her whole family leading up to her
was very religious, and to her,
42
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:20.159
if you weren't a good person,
you went to Hell. And when she
43
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:23.719
died, she had it programmed so
much in her mind that if she wasn't
44
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:27.360
a very specific kind of person,
she was going to go to hell.
45
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:31.599
Guess what she experienced. She went
to hell, and she told us in
46
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:38.240
very vivid detail what was happening while
she was there. And then after a
47
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:44.520
while she realized that she was the
one who put herself in that hellish place
48
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:47.680
because that's what she expected to happen. So my thought is that when we
49
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:52.319
die, if you feel that all
you're going to do is go into the
50
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:54.639
ground and that's it, well,
I'm afraid that might be what happens to
51
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:58.520
you. Though. It's all the
more reason to think there's something else beyond
52
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:00.400
this life, because I don't want
to be just nothing in the in the
53
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:09.840
earth. H
