"I will continue to be. But you have to be very careful to see me. I will be a flower or a leaf. I will be in those forms and send you a greeting. If you are aware enough, you will recognize me, and you will be smiling at me. I will be very happy about it." ~Thich Nhat Hanh

"This body is not me. I am life without boundary. I have never been born and I will never die." Food for the soul. Beautiful. Thank you for this wonderful talk and song.

The sense of hearing is the last one that we lose after the heart has stopped.I can reassure this, after being dead for 5 minutes.I could hear everything doctors and care personal were saying, their panic, they fight für my life. People should know that the dying perspn hears everything and should speak good words to them as the master said.No fear, after the body has no more life it is just peace, love and compassion.

I also left my body saw myself curled up in floor bleeding to death .. then instantly i was flying through the clouds i could see but had no body i felt immortal no breathing no pain no hunger just energy electrifying like an orgasm but 100 times more intense it was amazing then i started moving faster clouds became trail lines bright light got brighter then i heard a voice which said u have to go back even showed me a holligram video pkaying my funeral family around then i screamed as i felt myself falling back into my body pain of life is horrendous only lasted a millisecond then the story goes even more unbelievable dont want to bore you but we are not alone !

[@muhlenstedt]

@@sheztc1977 I understand your experience completelly, ma near death experience was very short but the peace and love I felt I will never forget. I can not say anything more about life after death because my brain was not completelly dead. But no fear for the death anymore.

[@sheztc1977]

@@muhlenstedt yeah as soon as i left my body memories had gone on my past only anticipation on what to come i was aware who i was at that moment . See my friend life is very fare we dont feel suffering once we go back to awareness 🙂

I is the Self, the turiya, the consciousness without any boundaries, without any seperation or pain or unease.. the body is a means to carry out our mission in this life, to be joyful and awaken joy in all others

This has scientific evidence because soft and soothing music has shown to benefit patients under anaesthesia and also patients in coma. I also have witnessed it as I am an anesthesiologist. Music for patients under anaesthesia helps patients to recover earlier and require less pain killer. For patients in coma patients have shown physiological improvements in their condition.

The moment Thay retold the story when Sir Alfred got received the guidance from Sister Chan Khong, the stories told by his daughter...i could already imagined..how wakeful he was, to be able to hear the words of the people who loved and cherished him. I began to shed some tears right that moment...until the end song by Sister Chan Khong once again, i got uncontrollably sobbed with flow of tears, just by realizing the out-of-boundary feeling i have..without this physical vehicle "body". Thank you for gaving us they wisdom of love and goodness..dear Thay. 🙏💙

I did just this. In 1989, when I was 29 and my mother was 58, I talked to her while she was in a coma. I told her if she could get well and stay with us, to do so but if she couldn't be well then she could go. She passed at the moment I said that she could go. I think by giving her permission to go, I released her.

[@pkul9583]

“ Body is not me” is just meaning we are giving. It is good philosophy and psychological trick. But consciousness with 5senses what we call reality and we have to accept it. If we don’t accept physical reality then we may be edging psychiatric problem. There is fine line between schizophrenia personality and normal. Hallucinations and delusions are pathological.

[@mariatsakona5287]

@@pkul9583 we are conscious

[@benji-5796]

My thoughts also. There is an “I” this man says there is no “I” no “you”. I’m afraid the “I” and “ You” is all “ we” are. If he believed we went on in a spirit form after death I could take this but that ceases to exist also so I think he’s just making what he says more pretty.
