Where Does Consciousness 'Go' When We Die? - Jeff Foster

- Опубликовано: 14 авг 2024
- Jeff Foster talks about 'death'. Can a wave 'leave' the ocean? Is death simply a return to Source?
Join Jeff for live meditations: jefffosteronli...
Jeff Foster delves into mortality, challenging us to move beyond intellectual understanding to a lived experience.
Here are some top takeaways:
- Personal realization of mortality is described as a shocking and profound moment in Jeff Foster's life.
- The difference between knowing intellectually about death and truly contemplating it is discussed.
- The importance of contemplating death to be truly alive is emphasized.
- Volunteering in a care home provided an opportunity to observe how the awareness of limited time made life incredibly precious for those nearing death.
- An obsession with the question of what happens after death is admitted, a topic frequently raised in retreats and meetings.
- Rejecting dogmatic answers, instead offering food for thought and meditation.
- The wave and ocean metaphor is used to explain the view on death, illustrating that the wave (individual) never truly leaves the ocean (the whole).
- The illusion of separation argues that the wave, appearing to be separate, is always part of the ocean, implying that individuals are always part of a greater whole.
- The perceived independence of the wave is an illusion; similarly, the perceived separation of individual consciousness from the whole is an illusion.
- Concludes by inviting viewers to reflect on this perspective and encourages them to subscribe for more videos.

It hit me this year at 41.. now I find myself feeling waves of panic of everyone I love dying and then me dying alone.. irrational perhaps but it is what it is right now
It hit me at 41 too, it gets bumpy or it does not. Just watch your breathing. I am still here at 60, so be still and know
@@GlennKarg-uu4uz thank you so much for your understanding… something definitely shifts in the 40s.. maybe especially bc I don’t have children? But suddenly I find that I’m looking at the “back 9” (golf reference:)) of life and it’s brought up a lot of fear… but I will keep breathing and trusting in something greater than me, trusting that Spirit is driving this boat of life I’m in 🙏🩵
Thank you Jeff, my cat died last night and I needed just that reminder, that the separation is an illusion... For me it is all love, he was an expression of love in the body of a cat and now he still lives inside of my heart and memories forever 🥹
When the "ME" starts to dissolve..., when after having really tough and rough times you start learning not to identify with the script or the character..., it helps.
❤🦋🌟
What’s the pro of that? This life is literally all you have.
I love, I appreciate the metaphor of the wave and the ocean, it helped me more than anything else, very simple and understandable. Thank you.
IT is Indian philosophy metaphor of wave
Огромная благодарность, Джефф за видео! Я живу в Армении и читаю ваши статьи. Вы очень вдохновляете меня и помогаете проходить мне мой нелёгкий жизненный опыт. Благодарю вас, что вы несколько лет назад прошли свой опыт и я помню о чём вы писали в Контакте! С уважением и любовью. Анаит.❤🙏
Reminds me of THICH's wave quote! He describes death as a continuation. Your essence is a ripple of the whole. I feel that is true within... we came from somewhere and we were all born differently. That's why I resonate with our karmic body. So I believe our consciousness is beyond that. Whether we "go" somewhere or not is the question haha. Do we ever go somewhere?
That happened to me also… diagnosed with deadly cancer ( survivor) but these 10 years was the true start off the awakening. In the end I fell in love with the dream off death. Such a release and then … I would not die the doctor told me after 6 year off battle. It was harder to embrace life again… I was shocked about that truth in me.
I was a little nervous when I saw the video title, but you nailed it right on the head. 🙏🏻 Thank you! Love the wave-ocean analogy.
The hair, which was once great, became fantastic and now today is truly a magnificent work of art.
Very good. As a medium and mystic we can quibble about what "form" that takes but I think that's not all that relevant. My experiences with those who have died is that there is a deep remenbrance and some form of expansion. Again what forn it takes i don't know because how we perceive the "signal" (communication) may be for our benefit and not the technology beyond the body-mind complex.My father ws an avowed atheist. After he died that notion would be prepsterous (for "him") but somehow after death he developed (or recovered) healing ability. Which stunned me.
It hit me at 26 and created a lot of anxiety
I was 15, sitting at my mother’s desk, and it hit me like a ton of bricks that oh God I’m not going to exist when I die. I froze for a minute and then a thought said well you won’t know you’re not here, and that was it.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing 🙏🧠♥️☮️
Dear Jeff, yes exactly this happend to me at the beginning of this year.
From one day to another I collapsed and became very ill and it was really painful. And I realized that I could die any moment. Until this day, it was more an intellectual or "spiritual" theory.
I'm recovering now slowly, but always new ailments appear and I'm sick and tired of that crap!
And this all makes me feel and think, that my actual life is not "more precious" but on the contrary, death seems to depreciate and soils life. And that this suffering is my own failure.
And this thought increases my discomfort.
Is everything wrong or stupid with me?
..how clear and beautiful…I was always the ocean…or one with everyone…as in we are all valuable…and some of us are ‘wilder’ waves…that like to go all the way to the shore and come back into the depth of the ocean…ongoingly…
It brings to memory the story I was told when I was a child of the mermaid who longed to be human when she saw the prince…she fell madly in love…and she did become human and got to be with the prince…shortly, but he didn’t love her, he was engaged to be married…so the spell, the contract she’d made, came to its end then.
And this particular story ended as the mermaid becoming part of the ocean…a wave.
Wow. That story always brought me sadness for the mermaid. But not today…It’s like I always wanted to be part of the ocean…and not knowing I already was…so I went for ‘the prince’…(external stuff)
And now…I’m back as a real part of the ocean..’hitting’ the waves…
Thank you, Jeff…for all you do and contribute…
much love.
Great video, thanks !
Quedarse cerquita, aquí adonde estamos, y ahora cuando estamos... permite saborear una libertad exquicita, como la que sintieron las personas de las que habla Jeff...
Soltar un poco el futuro y el pasado, y permanecer valorando y aceptando lo que hay en nuestra experiencia actual... No les parece?

I don't care if life continues or not, im tired of trying to know things, what will be is what will be, its a ride
I’d like to find comfort in that metaphor but is there no difference between Michelangelo’s “David” and the marble from which it was made? If that immortal work of art crumbled back into a pile of marble, would we say there’s no loss, no fundamental change? What shape does human consciousness take when the body is no more? A wave is a pretty simple structure, a human being is a unique and all too brief complexity of form and function.
What a waste if we dont bring our consciousness with us. I would be furious as l have wirked so hard at life and to awaken to my issues. Lived.
I use music metaphor for this. Peoples consciousness is like music. You play youself throughout your life could be easily replaced to life plays whatever you call yourself. Who leads here doesn't matter. You didn't start your music and it wont be you who will stop it. Suicide question appears here but no one kills him/herself with no reason. Music was here before you and will be here after the player is gone. So it is not the question of meaning of life - it's always life of meaninig. It is always sound of music. We are birds singing the glory of God. We are God playing guitar.
I can't believe this is even real anymore. So many people in my family have died. tired of nerds asking me where I was 13billion years ago and calling you meaningless. Also I fear reincarnation cause I wouldn't want to experience this dying nightmare again. Sometimes I watch stuff about nde experience people had that might help a little.
The wave exist but kinda does not exist 🤣 thank u jeff
All that remains of a wave after it has crashed is the entire ocean. All that remains of a person after they have died is the entire universe. 😊
Is this British English?
It doesn't go anywhere, primarily because "It's" not an object.
