    One of my favorite lines from the Tibetan Book of the Dead: “Abandon your notions of the past, without attributing a temporal sequence! Cut off your mental associations regarding the future, without anticipation! Rest in a spacious modality, without clinging to the present."

      «In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
      The same was in the beginning with God.
      All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
      In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
      And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
      There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
      The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
      He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
      That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
      He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
      He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
      But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
      And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
      John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
      And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
      For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
      No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
      And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
      And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
      And they asked him, What then?
      Art thou Elias?
      And he saith, I am not.
      Art thou that prophet?
      And he answered, No.
      Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
      He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
      And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
      And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
      John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
      These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
      The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
      This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
      And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
      And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
      And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
      And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
      Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
      And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
      Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye?
      They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
      He saith unto them, Come and see.
      They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
      One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
      He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
      And he brought him to Jesus.
      And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
      The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.
      Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
      Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
      And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?
      Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
      Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
      Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me?
      Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
      Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
      Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.
      And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
      And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
      And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
      Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
      His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
      And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
      Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water.
      And they filled them up to the brim.
      And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast.
      And they bare it.
      When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
      This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
      After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.
      And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
      And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
      Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
      Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
      Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
      But he spake of the temple of his body.
      When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
      Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
      But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.»

    This video made me realise I’ve moved through the Bardo’s multiple times during my life so far but to what degree i still dont know. Mostly through deep meditation and a few times during psychedelic experiences. Non of the events were sought after, they happened spontaneously in relation to where i was on my path at the time. BUT the one thing that all of those events had in common: I was in a period of consciously wanting to genuinely heal or self improve in some way. It’s really interesting to learn more about the Tibetan book of the dead and how it correlates with some of my own personal experiences!

Then right before the exam, he declared in front of the class that it was such an honor to have me in his class.
      Go figure. Then my older sister that had acquired the meditative jhana levels, looked into my previous life, it turned out I was a Catholic Nun living in a convent since childhood, being exposed to religious books esp the bible.
      No wonder I had an affinity towards any religious vid contents, subjects n its application in my present life.
      I realized when looking back, why I got A+ so effortlessly in World Religion Class.
      The Bardos is a unique esoteric knowledge that the majority of Mahayana traditions would not or rather unwilling to expound to laity believers.
      I agree with this approach personally. Thus, I prefer Pure Land Tradition mix with Zen Buddhism approach.

    " Bardo is a simple method but with great significance. Only people who have meditated a little bit in their lives can be benefited by it, and Tibet was one of the countries where almost everybody was devoting some time to meditation -- just to be alone, silent, not doing anything, just witnessing. If such a person does not achieve enlightenment in his life, and death intervenes, then bardo is used.
    Such a man has achieved a certain opening of the door. He has not entered in, but he has at least tried; he has knocked on the door. He has a certain receptivity, and at the time of death he is absolutely willing to go into a state of meditation. Now there is nothing to be afraid of. Death has already come; he can risk everything. And bardo is a certain soft method of hypnosis... just the way I am using it. Listening to me you become quiet, silent.
    The bardo is suggestions to the dying person: "Now be silent. Leave this life consciously. Rather than death taking it away from you, relax your hold; don't be defeated by death, don't struggle. Just drop all your attachment. This world is finished for you, and this life is finished for you. There is no point in holding on to it; in holding on to it you will be fighting with death. You cannot win, and a very significant possibility will be missed.
    "Simply let go of everything on your own accord. Relax, and accept death without any antagonism as a culmination of life, as a natural phenomenon. It ends nothing. Remain conscious and watch what is happening -- how the body starts becoming more and more distant from you, how the mind starts falling into pieces as if a mirror has fallen and broken into pieces, how your emotions, sentiments, moods... everything that made your life starts disappearing."
    It is the end of a dream. That is the fundamental point in bardo, that you have lived a dream that you call life, a seventy-year-long dream. It is coming to an end. You can weep for the spilled milk and miss the opportunity... because within seconds you will be entering into another womb, into another dream.
    Between these two dreams just a few seconds are available for you to be alert and awake, and if you can manage this alertness you have conquered death, you have conquered dreaming. You will be entering into another womb consciously; you will be leaving this body consciously, entering into another body consciously.
    You will be able to remember the death, the dream you had lived, in the coming life, which will make you alert not to get into the same rut -- again chasing the same stupid desires, getting caught in the same jealousies, fighting for the same meaningless respectabilities. It will keep you alert that you have done it before. Everything ends in death and this too will end in death.
    So bardo is reminding you that what is disappearing was a dream. It is very easy when death is coming to see your life as a dream. What else can it be? It is just as if you are waking up in the morning. The whole night you have lived so much, so many dreams -- you may have lived years in the night -- but bardo reminds you that it was a dream. It has to be done by a very evolved being -- a lama, a master -- and he insists that it is time to realize that it was a dream: you are not dying, only the dream is broken.
    And while you are being shifted from one dream to another... the gap is of tremendous importance because in that gap there is no dream, there is simple clarity, absolute clarity, awareness. So the second point to be reminded of is: don't miss the gap.
    And the third thing: don't miss the entry into the womb. Then you have accomplished something which people need lives to work on.
    The person is just falling into deep silence and death is descending. He is listening to these words from someone he has loved, he has trusted, from someone he cannot imagine deceiving -- only then is it meaningful. It won't work from just anybody. The bardo is available, all the instructions are available, but it is possible only through someone whom you have respected, honored, trusted, loved.
    In this critical moment a small doubt about what the person is saying will destroy the whole thing -- then the bardo has been futile. But if you don't miss and you follow the instructions, you are laying a foundation for a new life which will be a totally different life. It will be your last life, because anybody who is dying consciously, who uses the gap to have a taste of absolute purity, enters into the womb alert, is born alert. His enlightenment is guaranteed by nature: he has the seed, the foundation.
    So bardo is a simple process, but it can be helpful only to those who have meditated a little, who have been with a master, who have once in a while tasted the silence, the presence, and the beauty of being in the moment. They become capable. Bardo is the greatest contribution Tibet has made to the world. Tibet has not contributed anything else. It is a poor country, far away from the world -- the roof of the world -- unapproachable. Even today it is very difficult to reach Tibet.
    Tibet developed meditation through Buddhist influence and finally became the only country in history where everybody was meditating, where meditation was a normal phenomenon. Every family had to give at least one of its members -- someone who was ready -- to a monastery, to meditate totally. So from every family at least one member went from each generation.
    Almost the whole country of Tibet became a monastery. Just as Russia has become a concentration camp, Tibet became a monastery. There were hundreds of monasteries in the mountains, in beautiful places. Every family had contributed someone who was truly interested in seeking. It was the only place where people were encouraged to go on the search; it had become part of the style of the whole country.
    And those who were not in the monasteries were also meditating as much as they could manage, so by the time of death, bardo was possible for everybody. There were many masters available, many evolved beings available who could repeat those instructions -- and everybody had a master of his own. It was a totally different world.
    In this century many beautiful things have been destroyed but Tibet is at the top. Tibet has been destroyed by a communist invasion from China. Monasteries have been changed into schools, into hospitals, and monks have been forced to work in the fields. Even to mention the word "meditation" became a crime. And it was not hurting anybody: the country was so aloof, so cut off from the world.
    But it has been destroyed, and I don't think there is any possibility to recover its beauty, its grandeur. That is impossible because now there are roads joining it to Pakistan, to China. Now buses are moving, now airports are there and planes are coming and going. The army is there. It has become a military base for China. It has lost its golden age.
    Soon it will be difficult to find a person who is capable of listening to bardo instructions and almost impossible to find a person who can give those instructions. They will be in the books; they are available now in all the languages. They are simple instructions but they can be improved, and I have the idea to improve them because they are very ancient and very crude. They can be polished. Much can be added to them, more dimensions can be given to them. But the basic thing is that the people should be meditative. My people are meditative, and it will be part of our basic work to revive the bardo in a more refined form so we can use it for our people.
    Tibet is no longer the same Tibet. But we can create the situation, the psychology, where bardo -- or something like bardo but even far more evolved -- can help people. It is a beautiful process. Just as Japan has brought Zen from Buddhist sources of meditation, Tibet has brought, from the same Buddhist sources of meditation, bardo. These are their immortal contributions.
    When nuclear weapons are forgotten, still these discoveries will have the same significance."

      Teaching on the Bardo
      by H.E. Zurmang Gharwang Rinpoche
      PART ONE
      One can be liberated by looking, hearing, and reading without needing to practice meditation.
      According to the profound oral instructions, this is the teaching for liberating those who have
      committed non-virtue.
      These profound and vast oral instructions which guide one on the secret path
      are the supreme path that is useful in both this and future lives.
      Thus, the wise should train in the teachings of the bardo.
      They can be realized without difficulty for one with correct knowledge.
      Importantly, now while you have the ability to do so,
      you should strive to practice at all times for the sake of this life and the next.
      While making effort with belief in the practice,
      apply your body, speech, and mind to this teaching on the bardo.
      According to Jetsun Milarepa there are six bardos:
      (1) the bardo in between samṣāra and nirvāṇa,
      (2) the natural bardo of the path,
      (3) the bardo in between birth and death,
      (4) the bardo of dreaming and sleeping,
      (5) the bardo of existence, and
      (6) the bardo of the next life.
      Even though there are many subdivisions of the bardo,
      according to Milarepa, it is in the bardo in between samṣāra and nirvāṇa
      that the reality of mahāmudrā is pointed out
      and the perfect view is correctly determined.
      During the natural bardo of the path,
      it is important for those who have embarked on the path to meditate
      on the oral instructions of the whispered lineage in order to realize the face of innate wisdom.
      Within the appearances of the bardo in between birth and death
      you should strive at the two paths of the creation and completion stages
      in order to advance in your conduct and radiant capacity of awareness.
      While in the bardo of dreaming and sleeping,
      since sleep is mainly based on your habitual tendencies,
      train primarily in luminosity and the illusory body
      in order to make use of these habitual tendencies on the path.
      Finally, in the bardo of existence, you should take the three kāyas into the path
      and travel to the three pure lands.
      If you don’t realize them in this life,
      then with pure aspirations,
      make a connection in the bardo of the next life.
      According to The General Meaning of Mantra,
      all phenomena of saṃsāra and nirvāṇa are without nature, and yet they appear otherwise.
      That is the coarse nature of illusion.
      This is the general meaning of the illusory body.
      The illusory body is exemplified by a dream, an echo, and a rainbow.
      According to many gurus, the actual illusory body is when,
      due to the extraordinary practice of the winds dissolving into the heart,
      the wind and mind arise from emptiness in the pure form of the deity;
      the approximate illusory body is when, due to just the ordinary practice of the channels and winds,
      the winds dissolve into the heart and the wind and mind arise from emptiness in the pure form of the deity.
      The luminosity of the fourth emptiness due to the winds dissolving into the central channel,
      or the recognition on the basis of the experience of the fourth co-emergent joy,
      is the hidden luminosity.
      More over, example luminosity is the co-emergent joy or fourth emptiness together
      with the dualistic appearance of subject and object.
      The actual luminosity is the co-emergent joy or emptiness without subject-object dualism.
      Teaching on the Bardo
      by : H.E. Zurmang Gharwang Rinpoche
      PART TWO
      Pointing out that all dream-like, illusion-like phenomena are appearances
      is the dharma which overturns grasping at the true existence.
      Similarly, for the purpose of pointing out all appearances as the appearances of the bardo,
      the previous gurus explained the three bardo of birth and death, the bardo of dreams, and the bardo of existence.
      According to the Compendium of Abhidharma,
      the moment of death is the very same moment
      that the bardo of existence begins.
      The period from death until rebirth is called the "bardo of existence."
      According to the system of highest yoga tantra,
      our physical body is always produced together with our subtle body of wind and mind.
      Thus, it is appropriate to accept that in the bardo of existence,
      there is a very subtle body.
      What kind of physical body does one have in the bardo of existence?
      According to the Treasury of Abhidharma,
      beings in the bardo have a body like that of their previous existence.
      At that time, it is previous with reference to the next existence.
      It is not previous with reference to the bardo.
      Thus, wherever you will be born next, you become connected with that kind of body.
      According to the higher tradition of Abhidharma as well,
      Wherever you will be born next, you take the form of that kind of body.
      Generally, based on the next life, in the bardo prior to that,
      one will take the form of that kind of body.
      According to Jetsün Marpa's Scroll on the Bardo, for three and a half days,
      one will take the form of the previous life, and for three and a half days,
      one will take the form of the next life.
      How is it that these two systems are not contradictory?
      According to Pertinent Quotations on the Six Dharmas by the all-seeing, Shamarpa,
      the actual body of a being in the bardo of existence will be like the body that they will have in their next rebirth.
      Nevertheless, since what appears to the mind of bardo beings is like a dream,
      due to strong habitual tendencies connected with the previous life,
      they may see themselves in their previous form.
      Thus, these two systems are not contradictory.
      One with divine vision can see the bardo body as it actually is,
      while a siddha who has approximate divine vision
      sees the bardo body according to their karmic imprints.
      According to the Prophesy on Transmigration Sūtra,
      it is said that when a person is about to die, a spirit enters their mind.
      At the time of someone's death,
      the spirit, etc., who is born with them
      will take on their form and appear to their relatives and friends
      and give prophesies, causing confusion about karmic cause and effect.
      In general, some in the bardo of existence can see
      with the divine eye as a result of prior practice,
      which was not acquired due to birth.
      The knowledge of when one will die and where one will transmigrate
      is approximate to the power of the Buddha,
      and also occurs in śrāvakas, pratyekabuddhas, and bodhisattvas.
      How subtle is the body of a being in the bardo of existence?
      A body in the form realm is very pure,
      and the body of a being in the bardo of existence from that realm is even subtler.
      By comparison, the gods in the desire realm are more gross,
      and the body of a being in the bardo of existence from that realm is even grosser.
      The inner meaning is that there is no material body,
      but only a mental body that is established.
      A bardo being is able to travel wherever they think, without being obstructed by earth, stones, etc.
      They have miraculous powers due to past karma.

      As for what substances a bardo body consumes,
      it is generally said that they consume odors,
      but they may also consume flavors, etc.
      As was clearly stated by Yanggön Chenpo,
      first, riding on the wind,
      due to the dependent arising of the five poisons,
      the five colors appear.
      When wandering about in all directions,
      the five-colored light will appear as a path.
      Whichever light one follows determines one's rebirth.
      If you follow white light, you will be reborn as a god, red as a demigod,
      blue as human, yellow as a hungry ghost, green as an animal,
      and smoke-colored as a hell being.
      Wherever you go, the pure light will appear as a path.
      All appearances will become the color of that light.
      The mental body too takes on that color.
      According to what has been passed down in the lineage of oral instructions
      of earlier masters who have seen the true nature of the body and mind,
      and beheld the bardo of existence,
      in the bardo of existence, consciousness rides on the winds.
      The wind is inclusive of the five pure elements.
      Consciousness has pure and impure parts.
      The impure part includes the five poisons and the pure part includes the seeds of the five wisdoms,
      the five purities of the wind and the five stained wisdoms.
      There is self-radiance due to the interdependence of the clarity aspect and the mental appearances.
      The path of light appears as the five paths of pure light,
      and appearances arise from the radiant aspect.
      Thus, these are called the five purities or complete purities.
      At the beginning, the light dawns as the equality of all five.
      Then, that which arises from the manner of their mixing is,
      for example, pure white light if one will be reborn as a god.
      As that becomes more intense,
      that dawns as the white light of the path,
      and ultimately all bodies and appearances dawn as white light.
      The luminosity of the result is explained as the luminosity of the union of no more learning.

    LSD is like an emergency drug you can take to remember all the lessons you've learned from the previous life. During my LSD trip I realized I am infinite, I saw the toroidal fields around my heart, my body, I remembered who I really was, I remembered the formation of Language, how everything was a manifestation of the mind, and you are responsible for everything, that you attract what you think of. But most importantly love, love one another, love all beings for they are also you. After that I researched about Kundalini to maintain my awareness and the ego who was I thought I was in the previous years is long gone. The key is always for the middle ground, enjoy life, love life and spread wisdom to all that is unaware that is how the buddha would have done it.

In fact one of the Dalai Lamas was the son of Monghol Khan. Tibet under Lamas rule was a feudal kingdom with strict caste system where cerfs had no rights and everything belonged to royalty. By law everything in Tibet all land, property and even people belong to His Majesty.

      In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
      And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
      There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
      The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
      He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
      That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

      And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
      John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
      And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
      For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
      No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
      And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
      And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
      And they asked him, What then?
      Art thou Elias?
      And he saith, I am not.
      Art thou that prophet?
      And he answered, No.
      Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
      He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
      And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
      And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
      John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
      These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
      The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
      This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
      And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
      And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
      And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
      And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
      Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
      And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
      Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye?
      They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
      He saith unto them, Come and see.
      They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
      One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
      He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
      And he brought him to Jesus.
      And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
      The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.
      Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
      Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
      And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?
      Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
      Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
      Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me?
      Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
      Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
      Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.
      And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
      And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
      And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
      Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
      His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
      And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
      Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water.
      And they filled them up to the brim.
      And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast.
      And they bare it.
      When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
      This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
      After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.
      And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
      And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
      Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
      Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
      Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
      But he spake of the temple of his body.
      When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
      Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
      But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.»
      (The Gospel of Jesus Christ - John - Chapter: 1...

    I personally have known 2 ppl who experienced NDEs, both resuscitated & brought back after experiencing separate car accidents.
    1 found himself standing on a sidewalk with a bunch of other ppl in a city looking at a mangled car thinking how terrible that accident must of been & hoping the ppl inside were alright. He had zero memory or connection with the accident that just occurred. Then he started to hear a siren & next thing he knew he was coming to inside the ambulance.
    The other was in a fatal accident where multiple ppl in the vehicle died. She found herself looking at a warm loving light & started moving to it. Her dad (who died years earlier) walked out from the direction of the light & stopped her. He told her that he understood she wanted to enter but that it wasn't time & she must go back. She regained consciousness inside the ICU.
    I have experienced a number of things which leads me to believe there is some form of continuance that occurs post physical death. Concepts like The Book of the Dead & experiences like NDEs are interesting & may provide a little insight but in reality while we are anchored in physicality we truly can not understand what occurs till our own time arrives.
    Meet the moment with love & joy & know you are free. 🙏🏼

      @@perrygriffin2371 Divine, you assume that belief because you believe you are just the flesh body! When you have an out of body Experience and realize you are not the flesh body, you will understand that you are eternal and cannot die! The physical body is nothing without your inner beingness to animate it! I AM speaking from Experience! Listen to Near Death Experiencers or I call them “Out of Body Experiencers” - you don’t need to believe, just listen with a open mind! Eternal Love❤️❤️❤️

      Strong karmic imprints… That’s usually a sign that you have done spiritual practice with the Bardo in a previous lifetime.
      It’s a scary place… but few westerners will have this feeling upon hearing about this period after death.

    Great video. Thank you.
    I recently come to the realisation that this realm might well be the Bardo Thodol from the Tibetan Book Of The Dead.
    That we died & we are in the transitionary/afterlife here.
    That a more complete version of us died in another realm (& we were “born” here) & we are now in this strange afterlife labyrinth realm thing gearing up to be re~born to our true capacity one day. Or stay stuck here in the reincarnation trap.
    “Good morning”….who died?
    “Gotta earn a living” ⚱️….why am I considered dead & need to URN a living?
    Awake…A wake is a ritual for the dead.
    “Hello”….hell-oh
    “Days of the week”…..daze of the weak.
    It is all death/afterlife language & systems in my opinion.
    Also the vast majority of babies born here do not seem very happy about it. They seem very upset, confused & now exist in this mostly suffering based realm. Nature itself is brutal & predatory.
    Any thoughts or additions?
    I’d be keen to hear.
    Maybe I’m just going loony 😏
    Edit* I still would be hesitant to delete myself from here though because of the reincarnation soul trap. Need all the time I have to figure that out & how to liberate outta here ;)

    Buddhism is a branch of Hinduism. Gautama Buddha was a Hindu prince who left his palace to seek the truth. He attained enlightenment after discovering self-realization which is explained in Hinduism and was spread by Adhi Shankar on Advaita.
