What I have found fascinating is the fact that NDE testimonies & dream accounts & DMT Trip Reports all have a very similar quality about them -- as if they are all taking place in the same part of the brain.
I've been thinking about and researching death and the afterlife since the age of 6. Not one description about the afterlife has ever impressed me, although what Socrates said resonates to some extent, but not fully.
When I experienced what I called cosmic consciousness via 33 milligrams of powdered MDMA up the nose, I was left with the impression that the Truths about this mortal life and the afterlife must measure up to the criteria of being the epitome of Simplicity, Fearlessness, and Good News for all living creatures.
For quite some time I was comfy with my conclusion that at our Home we are formless and so is our Home -- that it did NOT resemble this mortal world. But lately I've been wondering if this mortal world is simply The Opposite World -- our Home looks similar to this mortal world but there is NO FEAR whatsoever -- no impeding death, no prices to pay, no rules, no laws, no limits, no restrictions, no permissions necessary, no requirements, no obligations, no responsibilities, no threats, no worries, no disappointments, nothing to protect or defend....no aggression, no hostility, no politics, no governments, no judgments, no self judgments...a world quite the opposite of this mortal world.
Given that we are eternal conscious entities, it seems unlikely that we are, spiritually speaking, formed like mortal creatures. I doubt I have always looked human and I don't expect the spirits who played the roles of my cats & dogs to look like cats & dogs at Home. All spirits are eternal conscious entities -- they are Perfect Eternal Conscious Energy and each one is perfectly equal & equally perfect to each other. Not one is older or younger, dumber or smarter than any other. They are each thinking-feeling entities who are aware they are thinking-feeling entities.
And what's an eternal conscious entity to do with itself throughout the middle of forever? Well it sure looks like we predetermined and scripted these mortal lives as an escape & vacation from our blissful Home of never-changing sanity & sobriety. Being at Home that never changes gets boring sometimes especially when you know you have the option to forget it for awhile, to escape it and totally forget that it even exists.
This mortal life, for the most part, by my experience and observation, has been a prison sentence nightmare for all mortal creatures. And when I get Home, I am fairly confident I will say, Isn't it nice to be Home again?
