This is an intriguing read. I shy away from new age explanations of the beyond. I think they are far too simplistic and self-serving. Whatever the afterlife is like, it won't be that bad. Well, one can hope at least..

Quote:Natalie had quite an unusual near-death experience in the moment when her truck hit the bomb. She did not experience the typical out-of-body experience where she might have been floating above the scene before rushing through a tunnel toward the light. Instead, Natalie simply blinked from one environment to another instantly, finding herself on a sort of stage addressing thousands of other spirits who seem to be studying her experience vicariously.
It might be too simple: The bilateral tradition of having an absolute identity that's the opposite complement of the mutable identity in a relational world. There might be many versions of the latter rather than just the single, familiar example of this (natural) cosmos. With one's unchanging, immutable "side" being a principle that mediates the transition from "one place for a body to be realized" to the next eligible place, etc.
