前置き

William Buhlman は Monroe Inst. を代表するセミナー講師。彼が "What You Need to KNOW Before You Die"と題した講演を AI で整理した。この講演は過去記事でも取り上げた記憶がある。

なお、William Buhlman についての私の評価は下の通り。

・Steven Greer の CE5（UFO 召喚儀式）では彼が参加者にマントラを与えて唱えさせるという話を聞いたが、その元ネタは TM 瞑想にあったと。

・この情報は初耳だが、意外性はない。TM 瞑想で宝（＝最高の意識状態）が得られると思い込んでのめり込んだが、やがて幻滅。TM 瞑想を捨てて、UFO/ET にそれ（＝意識の周波数の up ）を求めだした…というような精神世界の浮浪者によくあるパターンのようだ。

・最初は真摯な求道者だったが、気づいてみれば、うざい信者どもを集めてその教祖役（Bentinho Massaro ）におさまっていたり、安っぽいタワゴトを喋り散らすチャネラー（Darryl Anka）や OBE の夢を売るセミナー講師（William Buhlman ）に成り果てていた…というのがお決まりのパターン。エベレスト登頂を目指したはずが、気づいたら麓のカトマンズで土産物やパンフレットの販売係になってました…的な。

・いわば Gurdjieff の比喩した「ミ音からファ音の間で生じる不可避の逸脱」の呪いに巻き込まれたような感じ。Gurdjieff 自身もその逸脱の呪いからは逃れなかった。なお、この比喩は単なる「成長の S 字曲線」を Gurdjieff 流に言い換えたものと見ることができる。なのでオカルト的解釈は不要な筈。

要旨

意識の探求と覚醒した死の迎え方

この資料は、‌‌ウィリアム・ブールマン‌‌氏による講演の書き起こしであり、死を‌‌意識の移行‌‌と捉え、‌‌スピリチュアルな進化‌‌の重要な機会として捉えるという主題を中心に構成されています。

ブールマン氏は、自身の‌‌体外離脱（OBE）‌‌の経験と癌の診断をきっかけに、死に対する西洋文化の‌‌恐怖に基づく見方‌‌を批判し、古代、特に‌‌チベット仏教‌‌の伝統から教訓を得るよう提案しています。

彼は、死の瞬間に意識を‌‌高次の自己‌‌へ向けるための‌‌個人の行動計画‌‌（スピリチュアル・ディレクティブ）を作成し、‌‌アファメーションを録音したCD‌‌を使用するなど、‌‌能動的かつ意識的な「悟りを開いた移行」‌‌を行う重要性を強調しています。

この講演とそれに関する解説は、魂の進化における‌‌自己の主権‌‌と‌‌個人的な経験‌‌の役割を強く主張しており、‌‌信念体系への依存‌‌を避けるべきだと訴えています。

覚醒した死の迎え方：ウィリアム・ブールマンの教えに関するブリーフィング

エグゼクティブ・サマリー

本ブリーフィングは、ウィリアム・ブールマン氏の講演「What You Need to KNOW Before You Die」の書き起こしと、それに対する解説者の分析を統合したものである。中心的なテーマは、西洋文化における死への恐怖に基づく見方を克服し、死を意識的な進化のための強力な機会、すなわち「覚醒した移行（enlightened transition）」として捉え直すことである。

ブールマン氏は、自身のステージ4のがん診断をきっかけに、死後の世界が思考に反応する領域であるという古代の知恵、特にチベット仏教の教えを再評価した。彼は、死の瞬間に犠牲者となるのではなく、自らの意識状態を積極的に管理し、現実を創造する主体となるべきだと主張する。

この目的を達成するための実践的アプローチとして、彼は「精神的指令書（Spiritual Directive）」の作成を提唱する。これには、死の床で再生されるべき個人的なアファメーションの録音や、身体への執着を断ち切るための火葬の指示などが含まれる。

さらに、ブールマン氏は41年間にわたる自身の体外離脱体験（OBE）に基づき、死の恐怖の克服、自己の本質（人間形態を超えた純粋な意識）の理解、そして死後世界への準備といったOBEの数々の利点を強調する。物理的世界は、勇気や自己犠牲といった魂の資質を育むための「魂の訓練場」であると結論づけられる。

解説者はブールマン氏の見解を全面的に支持し、特に愛する者やペットといった形で現れる死後の「幻想」に対する警戒を促し、執着を完全に断ち切ることの重要性を力説している。

1. 死に対する現代の誤解と新たな視点

ブールマン氏は、現代の西洋文化、特に医学界が死を「問題」であり「終わり」として捉えていることを批判する。これは、生物学的機械の停止に過ぎないという唯物論的な見方である。この視点により、我々は死の移行に関する古代の知識と伝統を失ってしまったと彼は指摘する。

1.1. がん診断という転換点

2011年にステージ4のがんと診断されたことが、ブールマン氏にとって大きな転機となった。死の可能性に直面したことで、彼の優先順位は一変し、それまで情熱を注いできた体外離脱体験（OBE）の研究から、自身の「覚醒した移行」をいかに創造するかというテーマへと関心がシフトした。

1.2. 古代の知恵：チベット仏教のアプローチ

ブールマン氏は、チベット仏教の死へのアプローチに深い感銘を受ける。特に、以下の2つの概念が彼の思想の根幹をなしている。

バルド（Bardo）の概念: 死後、意識が体験する中間状態。これらの領域は思考に反応する性質を持つ。
マントラの実践: チベット仏教の僧侶は、死にゆく者の傍で何日も「虚空の晴朗な光へ行け（go to the clear light of the void）」と唱え続ける。これは、故人の意識がアストラル界の無数の合意現実（consensus realities）や形態に基づくすべての現実を超越し、より高次の状態へ進むよう導くためのものである。

ブールマン氏は、このアプローチを「我々の文化では教えられていない、覚醒したアプローチ」と評価している。

2. 死後世界の性質と意識の役割

講演の中心的な論点は、死後の世界が思考に反応する（thought-responsive）宇宙であり、我々の意識状態がその現実を直接的に形成するというものである。

2.1. 思考が現実を創造する

ブールマン氏は、「チベット死者の書」が1400年間にわたり説いてきたように、死後の世界は思考によって形作られると強調する。したがって、我々は死の瞬間に無力な犠牲者ではなく、自らの現実を創造する能動的な主体である。この力を内在化させることが極めて重要であり、もし自分が特定の信念体系に従うしかない犠牲者だと感じていれば、実際にその通りの現実を体験することになる。

2.2. 執着という障害

死後、人類の99.99%がアストラル界の合意現実に留まる最大の理由は「執着」である。これには、以下のようなものが含まれる。

自己のアイデンティティ（男性、女性、人間であるという認識）
物理的な身体
愛する人々やペット
地上の家や環境

これらの執着が、意識がより高次の領域へ進化することを妨げる最大の要因となる。解説者はこれをさらに強調し、「幻想」は愛する人々の姿で現れる「釣り針」のようなものであり、いかなる執着もシステム（the system）の支配下に戻る原因となると警告している。

3. 「覚醒した移行」への実践的ガイド

ブールマン氏は、自身の死に備えて開発した具体的な行動計画を提示する。これは、古代の知恵を現代の技術で応用し、誰もが実践可能な方法である。

3.1. 精神的指令書（The Spiritual Directive）の作成

これは、自身の死の床で何を行ってほしいかを詳述した書面による計画である。遺言書に添付することが推奨される。

項目	内容
聖なる空間の定義	自分が望む神聖な空間をどのように作り上げるかを具体的に記述する（例：仏像、特定の音楽など）。ホスピスでも自宅でも実践可能。
同盟者の選定	指令書の内容を確実に実行してくれる信頼できる人物（配偶者、親友など）を「同盟者」として指名する。
アファメーションの録音	個人的に最も意味のあるアファメーションを録音し、CDや音声ファイルを作成する。これを死の床で繰り返し再生する。
火葬の指示	物理的な身体への執着を断ち切るため、火葬を明確に指示する。

3.2. アファメーション：現代のテクノロジーによる支援

チベットの僧侶が何日もマントラを唱え続けることは現代社会では非現実的である。その代替案として、ブールマン氏は自分自身のアファメーションを録音し、オートリピート機能付きのプレーヤーで再生することを提案する。

目的: 意識の移行中に、自身の最高のスピリチュアルな意図を外部と内部の両方から繰り返し思い起こさせ、空間全体をその意図で満たす。
内容の例: 「今、私はハイヤーセルフの元へ行く（Now I go to my higher self）」「源（Source now）」「霊的本質（Spiritual essence now）」など、自分にとって最も響く言葉を選ぶ。
重要性: 人間の聴覚は最後まで機能するため、昏睡状態の人物に対しても非常に効果的である。

3.3. 火葬の重要性

ブールマン氏は、物理的身体への執着を断ち切るために火葬が重要であると強く主張する。

理由: 仏教徒やヒンズー教徒が火葬を行うのは、空間不足のためではなく、形態や身体への執着を断ち切るためである。
執着のリスク: 身体や物理的世界への強い執着は、死後も地縛霊（hauntings）として物理的世界に留まる原因となる。これは霊的進化にとって「完全な行き止まり（total null point）」である。

4. 体外離脱体験（OBE）の役割とそこから得られる知見

ブールマン氏は、OBEを自己探求と死への準備のための最も強力なツールの一つと位置づけている。信念ではなく、直接的な体験を通じて真実を検証することの重要性を説く。

4.1. OBEの主な利点

自己知識と検証: 自分が物理的身体以上の存在であることを直接体験し、検証できる。
死の恐怖の軽減: 死が終わりではなく、意識の継続であることを個人的な経験から知ることで、死への恐怖がなくなる。
死後世界への準備: 非物理的世界のルールを学び、意識をコントロールするスキルを磨くことで、死後の移行がよりスムーズになる。

4.2. OBEから学んだ非物理的現実の基本

40年以上にわたるOBEと臨死体験（NDE）の研究から、以下の事実が明らかになった。

身体からの独立: 我々は物理的な身体や脳がなくても存在し、思考し、機能することができる。
思考に反応する宇宙: 非物理的世界は思考に極めて敏感に反応する。このため、自身の恐怖がサタンや悪魔といった形で具現化されることもある。
真の自己の姿: OBEの状態を長く維持すると、人間の腕や足といった形態は溶解し始め、最終的には涙滴状の意識、光球、そして「意識の点（point of consciousness）」となる。我々の本質は性別や物質に基づかない純粋な意識的覚醒（pure conscious awareness）である。
多次元的な存在: 物理的世界は「宇宙の表皮（epidermis of the universe）」に過ぎず、その下には広大な多次元宇宙が広がっている。

5. 物理的実在の深遠なる目的

ブールマン氏は、なぜ我々が物理的な身体を持って存在するのかという問いに対し、独自の洞察を提供する。

魂の訓練場（Training ground of soul）: 物理的世界は、純粋な霊的領域では経験できないネガティブな感情（恐怖など）や困難を体験するための場である。
魂の資質の涵養: 戦場で仲間を救うために手榴弾の上に身を投げる兵士のように、極限状況での行動を通じて、勇気や自己犠牲といった魂の資質を内面化し、学びを自身のものとする。
個別化（Individualization）: 形のない霊的領域とは対照的に、物理的世界は明確な分離と独立した自我を確立するための重要なステップである。

ブールマン氏は「我々は、学びたいと願うものに、なるのである（We become what we wish to learn）」と述べ、体験を通じて学ぶことの重要性を強調している。

6. 解説者の分析と推奨事項

講演の書き起こしに付随する解説は、ブールマン氏の教えを補強し、実践的な側面を強調している。

ブールマン氏への高い評価: 解説者は、ブールマン氏を「何が起こっているかを正確に知っている人物」と高く評価し、彼の著作やモンロー研究所の教材を強く推奨している。
幻想への警告: 死の瞬間に現れる愛する者、ペット、グル（導師）などは、我々を再び輪廻のサイクルに引き戻すための「幻想」である可能性が高いと強く警告している。
個人の主権: 救済は集団的なものではなく、完全に個人的な旅である。「運転席に座っているのはあなた自身だ（You are in the driver's seat）」という点を繰り返し強調し、他者に依存せず、自らの力で道を切り開く必要性を説いている。
推奨文献: チベット死者の書は難解であるというブールマン氏の意見に同意し、より核心に迫る書籍として以下の本を強く推奨している。

書籍情報	-
タイトル	Self-liberation through seeing with naked awareness
翻訳/著者	John Reynolds
入手先	AmazonやeBayなどで入手可能。

解説者は、この情報にたどり着いた今が、何百、何千という来世を待たずにサイクルから抜け出す絶好の機会であると述べ、読者が自ら調査し、行動を起こすことを強く促している。

死と進化の重要性

ウィリアム・ブールマンの視点における「啓発された死の迎え方」（Enlightened Transition）のより大きな文脈において、死と進化の重要性について、ソースは以下のように述べています。

ブールマンにとって、死とは「終わり」ではなく「始まり」であり、‌‌私たち全員が進むべき進化の道筋‌‌における極めて重要なステップです。

1. 死は進化の継続であり、加速の機会である

ブールマンは、死を単なる生物学的な終わりとして捉える現代文化の認識に異議を唱えています。彼は、41年間の体外離脱体験（OBE）を通じて、‌‌死は存在せず、それは単なる継続である‌‌ことを知っていると述べています。

‌‌進化の必須段階:‌‌ 私たちは皆、身体を超えて進んでおり、‌‌ある程度のスキルをもって身体を超えて進化する方法を学ぶ‌‌ことが、私たちの進化にとって非常に重要であるとされています。
‌‌進化の加速装置:‌‌ 死の瞬間は、悲嘆の時ではなく、‌‌精神的な進化を加速させる強力な機会‌‌として捉えられています。この移行点をうまく活用すれば、単に最善を望むのではなく、「ロケットが飛び立つように」進化を加速させることができます。ブールマンのワークショップのテーマである「啓発された移行」は、この極めて重要な出来事を、‌‌より高い意識状態への推進力‌‌に変える方法を探求しています。
‌‌真の進化の焦点:‌‌ 真の進化とは、ダーウィンが提唱したような生物学的変化ではなく、‌‌意識の進化‌‌であり、フォーム（形）、物質、宇宙の多次元を通じた私たちの旅のことです。

2. 進化を妨げる「執着」と「信念」からの脱却

ブールマンの視点では、死後の進化を加速させるためには、現世での執着や誤った信念体系を断ち切ることが決定的に重要です。

‌‌アタッチメント（執着）の危険性:‌‌ ほとんどの人類（99.99%）は、肉体的な乗り物や家、物理的な環境への執着のために、アストラル界の合意現実（consensus realities）に留まってしまいます。この執着は、私たちの精神的な発達と加速的な成長にとって非常にネガティブな影響を及ぼします。
‌‌火葬の推奨:‌‌ ブールマンは、生物学的な乗り物への執着を断ち切る一つの良い方法として、チベット仏教やヒンドゥー教徒が行う‌‌火葬‌‌の重要性を強く感じています。
‌‌信念の否定と自己主権の確立:‌‌ 私たちの進化を何世紀にもわたって押しとどめてきたのは、人間が作り出した信念、罪悪感、恐れ、そして教化であると彼は主張します。‌‌すべての信念体系を拒否し、自ら探し出す勇気‌‌を持つこと、そして‌‌精神的に独立する‌‌ことが、進化の鍵です。
‌‌現実の創造者としての役割:‌‌ 死の瞬間、私たちは被害者ではなく、‌‌非物質的で思考に反応する宇宙に入る自己の現実の積極的な創造者‌‌です。この主権を確保するため、彼は、死の床で「高次の自己」や「ソース」への移行を指示する‌‌精神的指令書（Spiritual Directive）‌‌を作成し、アファメーションを再生することを提唱しています。

3. 現世（身体）は魂の訓練場である

ブールマンは、なぜ私たちが物理的な生を経験するのかという問いに対し、その目的は進化的な成長にあると説明しています。

‌‌魂の資質の開発:‌‌ 身体のない純粋な精神的な環境では、死の恐れや脅威がないため、‌‌勇気や自己犠牲‌‌といった高度な魂の資質を内面化し、経験を通じて発展させることはできません。
‌‌厳しい訓練:‌‌ 物理的な現実は「‌‌魂の過酷な訓練場‌‌」であり、戦争でさえ、そこで勇気や自己犠牲といった資質を内面化する機会として機能します。私たちは、行動を通じて内面化することで、学びたいと願うものそのものになります。
‌‌意識の探検者となること:‌‌ 個人の進化と地球全体の進化にとって、体外離脱体験（OBE）などの超越的な経験を通じて、これらのことを‌‌個人的に検証する‌‌ことが非常に重要です。ブールマンは、私たちが信念を持つ者ではなく、‌‌意識の活動的な探検者‌‌になることが、死後の旅に真に備えるために不可欠であると説いています。

西洋文化と古代の知識の喪失

ウィリアム・ブールマンの視点における「啓発された死の迎え方」（Enlightened Transition）の文脈において、西洋文化が‌‌古代の知識を失っている‌‌こと、そしてそれが進化の妨げになっていることの重要性について、ソースは以下の点を強調しています。

1. 移行（死）に関する古代の知識の喪失

ブールマンは、現代の西洋文化が、意識の移行（死 1. 移行（死）に関する古代の知識の喪失

ブールマンは、現代の西洋文化が、意識の移行（死）に関する‌‌古代の知識の多くを失ってしまった‌‌と指摘しています。

‌‌「死」の現代的な誤解:‌‌ 西洋の文化では、残念ながら死は「終わり」として考えられています。医学は死を「問題」として、生物学的機械が停止する「終わり」として捉える傾向があります。
‌‌古代の叡智の欠落:‌‌ ブールマンは、西洋社会における死の描写と伝達方法が‌‌「馬鹿げている」（ridiculous）‌‌と感じており、この文化において、‌‌移行に関する古代の伝統や知識の多くが失われている‌‌と述べています。また、この喪失こそが、‌‌私たちの進化プロセス全体にとって非常に重要な、主要なスキル‌‌を失ってしまった可能性を示唆しています。

2. 古代の知識の例としてのチベット仏教

ブールマンは、失われた古代の知識や伝統の対照的な例として、チベット仏教のアプローチを高く評価し、その知恵を現代に適用する必要性を説いています。

‌‌チベット仏教のアプローチ:‌‌ ブールマンは仏教徒ではありませんが、彼らが死を扱う方法を本当に評価しています。チベット仏教における死のコンセプトは、「バルドゥ（中間状態）」と、‌‌死後の思考が現実を創造する‌‌という考え方に基づいています。
‌‌「フォームを超えて進む」という教え:‌‌ チベット仏教では、人が亡くなる際、僧侶たちが何日もかけて‌‌「空の澄んだ光（clear light of the void）へ行け」‌‌と唱えます。これは、その人が‌‌すべての形に基づく現実（form-based realities）を超越する‌‌ように、意識の旅を指示しているのです。
‌‌天国や家という誤った認識:‌‌ 彼らは、愛する人に対し、私たちが「天国」や「家」として当然視している‌‌すべての形に基づく現実をバイパスする‌‌ように指示します。ブールマンは、西洋文化では愛に包まれ、光に行くことについて話しますが、古代の知恵には‌‌より啓発されたアプローチ‌‌があると見ています。
‌‌進化の加速のための教え:‌‌ このチベットの教えは、私たちが自分自身に求めるものが少なすぎるのではないかという問いにつながります。この古代の知識は、私たちが持っている‌‌非物質的で思考に反応する宇宙を形成し、作り上げる能力‌‌について、1400年間にわたって語られてきたことです。

3. 進化の妨げとなっている現代の「信念」と「物質主義」

古代の知識の喪失は、現代文化が‌‌物質主義的な信念‌‌に支配されていることと関連しており、これが個人の進化を妨げています。

‌‌物質主義文化の影響:‌‌ 私たちは、‌‌この物質主義的な文化‌‌の中で、この古代の知識を失ってしまいました。
‌‌人間が作った信念からの解放:‌‌ ブールマンが41年前に体外離脱体験を始めた際、彼が教えられ、学んだ‌‌すべての信念が間違っていた‌‌ことに気づきました。私たちの進化を何世紀にもわたって押しとどめてきたのは、‌‌人間が作った信念、罪悪感、恐れ、そして教化‌‌であると強く主張します。
‌‌意識の探検者となる必要性:‌‌ ブールマンは、この重要な進化のステップを乗り越えるために、‌‌信念を持つ者（believers）‌‌ではなく、‌‌意識の活動的な探検者（active explorers of consciousness）‌‌となることが不可欠であると説いています。私たちは、生まれながらにして与えられたものをただ受け入れるのではなく、‌‌自分自身で答えを得る‌‌こと、そして‌‌精神的に独立する‌‌ことによって、‌‌人為的なすべての信念から自由になる‌‌べき時が来ています。

4. 古代の叡智を現代技術で再現する

ブールマンは、チベット人が行ってきた古代の慣習（僧侶が死にゆく人の傍で何日も読経すること）は、現代社会では非現実的であると認識しつつも、その知恵の核となる要素を現代技術で再現することを提案しています。

‌‌現代的な代替手段:‌‌ チベット人のやり方は非現実的であるため、ブールマンは、代わりに‌‌自分のアファメーションを録音したCD‌‌を作成することを推奨しています。これは、‌‌数千年前のチベットでの転生において私たちの傍にいた僧侶たちに取って代わる‌‌ことを目的としています。
‌‌「精神的指令書」（Spiritual Directive）の作成:‌‌ 彼は、死に際して意識を「高次の自己」や「ソース」へ向けるための‌‌詳細な書面計画（精神的指令書）‌‌を作成し、それを遺言に添付することを提唱しています。これは、‌‌古代の知恵‌‌を、現代の多忙な家族に負担をかけることなく、‌‌個人が自分の運命をコントロールするための実践的な手段‌‌として適用するものです。

個人のための啓発された移行計画

ウィリアム・ブールマンの視点における「啓発された死の迎え方」（Enlightened Transition）のより大きな文脈において、これらのソースは‌‌個人のための啓発された移行計画‌‌の必要性と具体的な策定方法について、非常に詳細に述べています。

ブールマンは、自らがステージ4の癌と診断され、死の可能性に直面した際に、‌‌自身の啓発された移行‌‌を創造したいと考え、その結果としてこの計画を開発し、共有しています。

以下に、個人が策定すべき「啓発された移行計画」の主要な要素と重要性を説明します。

1. 移行計画の必要性：主権の確保と信念の拒否

ブールマンにとって、移行計画を立てることの核心は、‌‌死の瞬間に受動的な犠牲者となることを拒否し、自己の運命を積極的に創造する‌‌ことです。

‌‌積極的な現実の創造者となる:‌‌ 私たちは死の瞬間、「犠牲者」ではなく、‌‌非物質的で思考に反応する宇宙に入る自己の現実の積極的な創造者‌‌です。この能力を最大限に活用するためには、前もって計画が必要です。
‌‌信念からの脱却:‌‌ 長い間、人類の進化を押しとどめてきたのは、人間が作った信念、罪悪感、恐れ、そして教化であると彼は主張します。移行計画は、これらの‌‌人為的なすべての信念から自由になる‌‌ための行動を伴います。
‌‌古代の知恵の現代的適用:‌‌ 西洋文化が移行に関する古代の知識の多くを失っているため、この計画は、チベット仏教などに見られる‌‌啓発されたアプローチ‌‌（すべての形に基づく現実を超越すること）を、現代の多忙な生活に合わせた形で再現することを目的としています。

2. 計画の具体的な要素

ブールマンが自身のために作成した、そして他者に推奨する「啓発された移行計画」には、以下の具体的なステップが含まれます。彼はこれを‌‌精神的指令書 (Spiritual Directive)‌‌ と呼んでいます。

A. 精神的指令書（Spiritual Directive）の作成

‌‌文書化:‌‌ 移行計画を‌‌書面‌‌で作成し、‌‌遺言書‌‌に添付します。これは、死の床で何が実行されるべきかを詳細に定めたものです。

B. 聖なる空間（Sacred Space）の定義と準備

‌‌環境設定:‌‌ 病院（ホスピス）であろうと自宅であろうと、‌‌聖なる空間‌‌をどのように創造したいかを定義します。ブールマン自身の例では、仏像などを好むといった具体的な好みがあります。
‌‌盟友（Allies）の選定:‌‌ 計画が確実に実行されるよう、自分の望みに賛同し、それを実行してくれる‌‌盟友（通常は配偶者や家族）‌‌を選定します。

C. 意識を集中させるための「アファメーションCD」の作成と活用

‌‌チベット仏教の代替手段:‌‌ チベット仏教の僧侶が死にゆく人の傍で何日も読経する古代の慣習は現代では非現実的であるため、ブールマンは、‌‌自分自身のアファメーションを録音したCD‌‌を作成することを推奨しています。このCDは、‌‌チベットでの過去の転生で傍にいた僧侶たちに取って代わる‌‌ことを目的としています。
‌‌アファメーションの内容:‌‌ アファメーションは‌‌簡潔で明確‌‌であるべきです。ブールマンが使用し、彼のCD『Destination Higher Self』に含まれている例としては、「‌‌高次の自己へ今‌‌（Higher Self now）」、「‌‌スピリチュアル・エッセンスへ今‌‌（Spiritual Essence now）」、「‌‌ソースへ今‌‌（Source now）」など、自分にとって最も意味のある用語を選択します。
‌‌使用方法:‌‌ このCDは、移行中の人（自分自身または愛する人）の‌‌枕元で、死の前、最中、そして死後も再生され続ける‌‌ように設計されています。意識が最後の最後まで残る‌‌聴覚‌‌を利用して、意識に指令を送り続けます。
‌‌目的:‌‌ 意識の最高の意図を外部と内部の両方で繰り返し集中させ、‌‌空間全体を意図で満たす‌‌ことで、啓発された移行を可能にします。これは、個人の‌‌主権‌‌を思い起こさせ、「再び同意を取り下げてここに戻る」ことを避けるためのリマインダーとなります。

D. 執着を断ち切る, 17, 77]。意識が最後の最後まで残る‌‌聴覚‌‌を利用して、意識に指令を送り続けます。

‌‌目的:‌‌ 意識の最高の意図を外部と内部の両方で繰り返し集中させ、‌‌空間全体を意図で満たす‌‌ことで、啓発された移行を可能にします。これは、個人の‌‌主権‌‌を思い起こさせ、「再び同意を取り下げてここに戻る」ことを避けるためのリマインダーとなります。

D. 執着を断ち切るための具体的な行動

進化の妨げとなる「執着」を断ち切ることも、計画の重要な要素です。

‌‌肉体への執着の遮断:‌‌ ブールマンは、チベット仏教徒やヒンドゥー教徒が広く行っている‌‌火葬‌‌が重要であると強く感じています。その理由は、‌‌生物学的な乗り物への執着を断ち切る‌‌ためです。死後に幽霊（hauntings）が発生するのは、人々が肉体だけでなく家や物理的環境に執着しているためであり、これは精神的な発達と加速的な成長にとって非常にネガティブです。
‌‌最高の精神的意図に集中:‌‌ 移行プロセス中、可能な限り、‌‌最高の精神的意図‌‌に意識を集中させることが求められます。この最高の意図こそが、私たちをアストラル界の「合意現実」（bardos）や執着に基づいた幻想から解放し、‌‌より高い意識状態‌‌へと加速させます。

3. 啓発された移行の成果

この計画の最終的な目標は、死を‌‌精神的な進化を加速させる強力な機会‌‌として捉え、実行することです。

‌‌加速的な進化:‌‌ 適切な計画と実行により、移行点は「‌‌ロケットが飛び立つように‌‌」進化を加速させる機会となります。
‌‌自由と主権:‌‌ この計画は、個人が‌‌自己の運命をコントロールし、この領域のすべてのサブ領域から抜け出す‌‌ための、個人的な道筋を提供します。これは、愛する人に時間をかけさせずに、‌‌移行のサポートメカニズム‌‌を持つことも可能にします。

ブールマンのワークショップ『Destination Higher Self』は、OBE（体外離脱体験）そのものではなく、まさにこの「啓発された移行」のために‌‌自分の道筋を準備する‌‌方法に焦点を当てています。

執着の解除

ウィリアム・ブールマンの視点における「啓発された死の迎え方」（Enlightened Transition）のより大きな文脈において、「ウィリアム・ブールマンの視点における「啓発された死の迎え方」（Enlightened Transition）のより大きな文脈において、「アタッチメント（執着）の解除」は、‌‌進化の加速‌‌と‌‌自己主権の確保‌‌にとって‌‌極めて重要な要素‌‌として位置づけられています。

ソースは、物質的な世界や古いアイデンティティへの執着が、死後の旅において魂を制限し、罠にかける最大の障害であると強調しています。

1. 執着（アタッチメント）の危険性：アストラル界に留まる原因

ブールマンは、41年間の体外離脱体験（OBE）から、死は継続であり終わりではないことを知っていますが、ほとんどの人類は執着のために死後すぐに進化の道を進むことができないと指摘しています。

‌‌合意現実（Bardos/Astral Consensus Realities）への留まり:‌‌ 人類の‌‌99.99%‌‌が、‌‌執着（attachments）‌‌のためにアストラル界の‌‌合意現実（consensus realities）‌‌に留まります。この合意現実は思考に反応する非物質的な宇宙ですが、真の自由ではありません。
‌‌アイデンティティへの執着:‌‌ 人々は、男性または女性の人間としての‌‌自己同一性（self-identity）‌‌に執着しているため、アストラル界に留まってしまいます。
‌‌物理的な世界への固執:‌‌ 人々が幽霊（hauntings）となるのは、彼らが肉体だけでなく、‌‌自分の家や物理的な環境‌‌にも執着しているためです。
‌‌精神的発達への負の影響:‌‌ 物理的な世界に居残ることは、‌‌私たちの精神的な発達と加速的な成長‌‌にとって、これ以上ないほどネガティブな影響を及ぼします。

2. 進化を妨げる「幻想」と「罠」としての執着

死の瞬間に生じる執着は、魂をより低い次元に引き戻す「罠」として機能すると説明されています。

‌‌愛する人やペット、グルなどの幻想:‌‌ 死の瞬間に現れる「幻想」（illusion）は、家族、ペット、グル（指導者）など、‌‌愛するものの形‌‌をとって現れることがあります。これらの幻想に向かって前進し、同意（consent）することで、自分自身ではないものに同意することになり、‌‌システムの支配下に逆戻りする‌‌リスクがあります。
‌‌進化の妨げ:‌‌ 執着は、私たちの‌‌精神的な進化にとって絶対的な無意味な点（total null point）‌‌となります。多くの人々が、この執着のために、アストラル界の最も低い部分にぶら下がったままになり、愛する人とコミュニケーションをとろうとしています。これは、彼らがほとんど進化していない、つまり‌‌ほとんど移動していない‌‌ためです。
‌‌「すべてを捨て去る」必要性:‌‌ 小さな執着であっても、それがあれば、迷子になり、‌‌システムの支配下に逆戻りする‌‌可能性が高いのです。したがって、‌‌すべてのものを捨て去る‌‌（shed all this crap, shed all these attachments）必要があります。

3. 啓発された移行計画における執着の解除方法

啓発された移行を達成し、進化を加速させるためには、生きている間に、あるいは死の床で、意識的に執着を断ち切る計画が必要です。

A. 肉体（生物学的乗り物）からの執着の切断

‌‌火葬の重要性:‌‌ ブールマンは、‌‌火葬（cremation）‌‌が重要であると強く感じており、それはチベット仏教徒やヒンドゥー教徒が広く行っています。その目的は、‌‌私たちの生物学的な乗り物への執着を断ち切る‌‌ことです。
‌‌意図の設定:‌‌ 火葬は、‌‌物質的な執着を破壊し、取り除くことを自発的に意図する‌‌表明となります。私たちの肉体は単なる‌‌意識の一時的な乗り物‌‌にすぎず、真の自己はジェンダーや物質に基づかない‌‌純粋な意識‌‌であるという認識が重要です。

B. 意識の最高の意図への集中

‌‌最高の意図の表明:‌‌ 移行プロセス中、可能な限り、‌‌最高の精神的な意図（highest spiritual intention）‌‌に集中することが、執着から解放される鍵です。
‌‌アファメーションの利用:‌‌ 作成した‌‌アファメーションCD‌‌を繰り返し再生することで、愛着に基づいた幻想やアストラル界の合意現実をバイパスし、「‌‌高次の自己へ今‌‌」や「‌‌ソースへ今‌‌」といった指令を意識に送り続けます。
‌‌チベット仏教からの教訓:‌‌ このアプローチは、チベット仏教が数千年間にわたり教えてきた「‌‌すべての形に基づく現実を超越する‌‌」こと、すなわち「‌‌空の澄んだ光へ行け‌‌」という教えを現代的に適用したものです。ブールマンは、‌‌形（form）を超越する勇気‌‌を持つことが必要だと述べています。

C. 手放すこと（Detachment）

‌‌ブッダの教え:‌‌ 仏陀の八正道における‌‌「手放すこと」（detachment, letting go）‌‌の概念は、私たち自身を解き放つ能力について説いています。
‌‌愛する人を手放す勇気:‌‌ 愛する人や家族でさえも「少し手放すこと」が必要かもしれません。私たちは、個人的な運命をコントロールし、この領域のすべてのサブ領域から抜け出すために、‌‌執着を断ち切り、自由になる‌‌という選択をしなければなりません。

ブールマンの啓発された移行計画は、これらの古代の知恵に基づき、‌‌すべての信念体系を拒否し、精神的に独立する‌‌ことで、死を‌‌進化のロケット‌‌に変えるための実践的な手段として、執着の解除を最優先しています。

意識の探求（OBE と NDE）

ウィリアム・ブールマンの視点における「啓発された死の迎え方」（Enlightened Transition）のより大きな文脈において、ウィリアム・ブールマンの視点における「啓発された死の迎え方」（Enlightened Transition）のより大きな文脈において、体外離脱体験（OBE）と臨死体験（NDE）を含む‌‌意識の探求‌‌は、‌‌死の恐れをなくし、個人の進化を加速させる‌‌ために不可欠な手段として位置づけられています。

ブールマン自身、41年間の体外離脱経験（OBE）を通じて、‌‌「死など存在せず、それは単なる継続である」‌‌ことを個人的に知っていると述べており、これらの経験を「信じる者」ではなく「知る者」になるための鍵として捉えています。

1. 意識の探求の重要性：個人的検証と知識の獲得

ブールマンは、現代の物質主義文化が失ってしまった古代の知恵を、個人的な体験を通じて取り戻すことの重要性を強調しています。

‌‌自己知識と検証（Self-Knowledge and Verification）:‌‌ OBEの最も重要な利益は、‌‌自己知識と検証‌‌です。人類がこの段階において、これらのことを‌‌個人的に検証する‌‌ことは、個人の進化だけでなく、‌‌地球全体の進化‌‌にとっても極めて重要であると感じられています。
‌‌「信じる者」から「探検者」へ:‌‌ 私たちの進化を妨げてきたのは、人間が作った信念や教化であるため、死後の旅に真に備えるためには、‌‌信念を持つ者（believers）‌‌ではなく、‌‌意識の活動的な探検者（active explorers of consciousness）‌‌になることが必須です。
‌‌回答の獲得と自己エンパワーメント:‌‌ 精神的な進化の鍵は、‌‌回答を自分自身で獲得し、力を得ること‌‌です。OBE、特に‌‌自己で開始するOBE‌‌は、その一つの方法であり、この事実は見過ごされがちです。

2. OBEとNDEから得られた死後の現実に関する知識

OBEとNDEの文書化された経験から、死後の現実について以下の基本的な理解が得られています。

‌‌肉体なき存在の継続:‌‌ 私たちは肉体なしに存在し続けることができます。臨死体験（NDE）は非常に短いですが、OBEをコントロールできる人々は、‌‌完全に意識を保ったまま1時間以上もそれを制御し、探検する‌‌ことができます。
‌‌脳なしでの思考と機能:‌‌ 私たちの真の自己は空気を呼吸せず、生物学的な体を持っていません。私たちは、‌‌生物学的な脳なしに思考し、機能することができます‌‌。
‌‌一時的な乗り物:‌‌ 生物学的身体は‌‌意識の一時的な乗り物‌‌にすぎず、私たちは練習を通じて、この乗り物に‌‌再突入したり、退出したりする‌‌ことができます。
‌‌思考反応性（Thought-Responsive）の宇宙:‌‌ これらの体験中に私たちが入り込む宇宙は、‌‌思考に反応する（thought-responsive）‌‌性質を持っています。これは、死後の現実を私たちが自らの思考で創造することを示しています。

3. OBEを通じた進化の加速と恐怖の克服

意識の探求は、ブールマンが提唱する「啓発された移行」計画において、個人的な進化を加速させるための訓練として機能します。

‌‌死の恐怖の軽減:‌‌ OBEの利益の一つは、‌‌死の恐怖の軽減‌‌です。ブールマン自身、個人的な経験から死が幻想（illusion）であることを知っているため、‌‌死の恐れを全く感じていません‌‌。
‌‌多次元的な存在になる訓練:‌‌ 私たちの進化のサイクルを加速させる能力は、‌‌多次元的な存在になる方法を学ぶ‌‌ことによって実現します。OBEは、私たち自身の多次元的な側面を探求する機会を提供します。
‌‌アストラル体（エネルギー体）の変容:‌‌ OBEを長引かせると、エネルギー体（アストラル体）は人間型（humanoid form）から溶け始め、最終的には‌‌意識の涙滴、球体、そして意識の点‌‌となり、ジェンダーや物質に基づかない‌‌純粋な意識‌‌である真の自己に変容します。これは、私たちが肉体的な形やジェンダーに執着すべきではないという教えを、体験を通じて裏付けます。
‌‌「魂の訓練場」としての活用:‌‌ 物理的な生は「魂の過酷な訓練場」であり、OBEを通じて肉体を離れる経験は、‌‌私たちが何を学び、内面化したいか‌‌（勇気や自己犠牲など）を決定するための‌‌個人的なスキル‌‌を磨く機会となります。

4. 移行計画への応用：習得したスキルと知識

意識の探求を通じて得られた知識とスキルは、‌‌個人のための啓発された移行計画‌‌（精神的指令書）の基盤となります。

‌‌聴覚の重要性の理解:‌‌ 瀕死の人の意識に残る‌‌最後の感覚が聴覚‌‌であるという知識は、OBEやNDEの知見と一致しています。このため、ブールマンは、聴覚を利用して「高次の自己へ今」といった‌‌アファメーションCD‌‌を再生し続けることを推奨しており、これは‌‌意識の探求で検証された原則‌‌に基づいています。
‌‌思考の力への理解:‌‌ 非物質的な領域が思考反応性であることを知っているため、移行計画では、外部と内部の両方で‌‌最高の精神的意図‌‌を繰り返し集中させ、‌‌空間全体を意図で満たす‌‌ことに焦点を当てています。

OBEやNDEの研究に時間を投資することは、個人的な変革をもたらし、‌‌「すべての信念、政府、その他のポーン（駒）であることから解放される」‌‌能力を自分自身で加速させることにつながります。ブールマンは、この探求こそが、死の瞬間を「ただ最善を望む」だけでなく、‌‌「ロケットが飛び立つように」進化を加速させる‌‌ための基礎であると見なしています。

（以下は "William Buhlman - What You Need to KNOW Before You Die" と題された講演動画の文字起こしです。）

As some of you know, I did a four hour kind of a... (00:09:38)

for me, it's a mini-workshop because my normal workshop is quite lengthy, but it's very in-depth and the topic kind of demands it because it's so important, I feel, to our evolution because we must learn to evolve beyond the body with some skill, I feel. That's where we're all headed, let's face it. We're all moving beyond the body. What I'd like to cover today... well, just briefly, I'd like to mention that starting this year, I started a new workshop that covers the afterlife and I figured this is a good place, if any, to introduce it. (00:10:23)

It's a three-day workshop at the Monroe Institute which I call Destination Higher Self and it explores the topic of what I call enlightened transition. How to... We think of death as the end, unfortunately, in our culture and it's just the beginning. It's how can we take this pivotal event and turn it into like a propulsion unit to a higher state of consciousness for ourselves. And I'm going to talk about this a little bit. (00:10:56)

My latest book is called Adventures in the Afterlife. I just want to mention it. It was published... Just so you know, I highly, highly recommend this book. I actually recommend all his books. Excellent, excellent material. He's got Adventures in the Afterlife, Adventures Beyond the Body, Secret of the Soul, Beyond the Astral, and then he's got some great Monroe Institute audio files. One is Out of Body Techniques, the other one is Destination Higher Self Now, and then there's How to Have an OBE. He also has one on how to obtain past life memories via past life regression. (00:11:41)

So, just thought I'd throw that out there before he just goes through this. This isn't that long and then he's going to go right into it. And I highly, highly recommend listening to this one all the way through. Maybe even a couple times on your own afterwards, too. ...last year, I believe, and it covers the journey beyond the body in a different way that's normally talked about. (00:12:08)

And I'd like to give you some background on that. In 2011, I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer of the tonsil and lymph node. I had a 5 cm tumor in my neck. And as any of you have ever had cancer knows, when you get that diagnosis, it's scary. You feel like somebody, when I got it, it was like a punch in the stomach because I've always been so healthy. I've never even went to the doctor. (00:12:36)

So, this is in March of 2011. And it's quite a game changer in your mindset because suddenly all the old priorities are erased and you start to think about other things. And I had to make quick decisions. And I was never thought about the afterlife, to be honest, that much. I was involved in out-of-body exploration and just learning about what I am and the nature of reality. That was always my passion. (00:13:07)

And suddenly I was pushed into a whole different direction because of the prognosis. I could die. And the doctor was quite blunt about it. I had to make quick decisions because my tumor was so large. So, you had to move fast. And I had to make plans. And I decided then, because of the potential of my own death, that I wanted to create my own enlightened transition. And the topic I want to talk about is really something that I developed for myself. (00:13:41)

And I want to share it with you because I think it is effective. We've lost something in our culture. We've lost a lot of the ancient knowledge about transition. Unfortunately, in today's world, there's a lot of fear based. We look at medical science, largely looks at death as a problem and it's the end. It's a biological machine has died. It's the end. And we've lost a lot of the ancient traditions and knowledge. (00:14:22)

But one of the ones that I found that resonated with me, and I'm going to just share this very quickly, was the Buddhist trend. The Buddhist approach, and I'm not a Buddhist, but I really appreciate the idea of how they handled death. And their concept of the bardos and how your thoughts create your reality after death. And that resonated with me because I know it was true. So, I did some study, quite a bit of study, and it was clear to me that the Buddhists had a very clear way of handling death that we have lost. (00:14:55)

When someone dies in Tibetan Buddhism, a monk or several monks will be next to the person dying, and they will chant for days and days next to the person that is about to make this great transition of consciousness that we call death. They will chant, go to the clear light of the void, go to the clear light of the void, go to the clear light of the void. They are instructing this person on their journey of consciousness to go beyond all form-based realities. (00:15:30)

Think of this for a moment. Nowhere do we teach this in our culture. We talk about surrounding yourself with love and going to the light. But they have a very enlightened approach to this, I find. Go beyond. Go to the clear light of the void. Which means, go beyond all form-based realities, go beyond the bardos, go beyond the astral, what today we commonly refer to in metaphysical literature as the astral plane and its various millions of consensus realities that exist. (00:16:11)

They instruct their loved ones to bypass all of the form-based realities that we take for granted as heaven or home. Is it possible that we ask too little of ourselves? I think he's spot on. I think he's so spot on it's not even funny that the way death has been portrayed and delivered in western society specifically is just ridiculous. He mentions the Tibetan Book of the Dead which is a really good newbie material and it's definitely suggested that you read it but there's parts of the Tibetan Book of the Dead which are not as well explained as it should be and there is a book I'm going to show a little later on towards the end of the video that I highly highly recommend everybody get because it's not it was hidden the book was hidden okay and anyways we'll get into that later I don't want to clog it up too much here we go. (00:17:41)

Is it possible we've lost some primary skills that are so important to our entire evolutionary process and I think that's exactly what has happened. We have the ability to do so much more than just provide comfort for our loved ones and provide a loving environment that's all positive but I think we can take it to another level through an enlightened approach to the whole concept of death because it's there's no end I know from having 41 years of out of body experiences that there is no such thing as death it's just a continuation we take it all with us our entire state of consciousness and as I said at this panel that was just a moment ago So, if we believe that we're spiritual beings, and almost all of us do, and if we believe that we shape and mold our reality, as most of us feel we do, then why in the world don't we, or don't we have the ability to shape and mold the non-physical, thought-responsive universe that we enter into at the moment of our death? (00:19:05)

Absolutely. I mean, that's so well said. It's just, it's not even funny. And he goes into how everything is, you know, based on your belief and your belief systems. Everything that we've been talking about here on the channel. And he goes into a decent amount of depth in how we form these, our afterlife. But the key thing is to not have these attachments if you want to escape. It's that simple. So let's continue. Of course we do. This is what the Buddhists have been talking about for 1400 years. (00:19:50)

The Tibetan Book of the Dead is all, it's focused on this concept that the bardos, or these non-physical consensus realities, are thought-responsive. And it's up to us to empower ourselves to take command of our state of consciousness and our reality. Not only in this life, but in the afterlife as well. We are not the victims at death. We are the proactive creator of our reality. But this is only as powerful as you internalize within yourself. If you feel at the moment of death that you are a victim and you must just follow whatever belief system that you've identified with, then that's truly what you are. (00:20:46)

But we're so much more than that. We have so much more capability if we exercise it. Thank you. Thank you. Okay, that's it for me. I'll stop when I'm done. Next speaker please. Drop the mic. Okay, so what I did when I found out that I had cancer and I could die because of the tumor I had, it was a very fast-moving cancer, and I had to make fast decisions and everything about it is scary. (00:21:25)

Because you're doubting yourself whether you're making the right decisions. And it's just a tough time to go through, as some of you already know. This is what I created and this is what I did as my action plan. I created a written plan for my enlightened transition. The first thing I did, I wrote it down. I call it the spiritual directive. I put it in my new book and I have a CD about this called Destination Higher Self. But I created a detailed plan for exactly what I want to be done at my deathbed. (00:22:01)

How I want my sacred space, I believe in sacred spaces, how I wanted to create it. It doesn't matter if it's in a hospice environment or in my home. Home you have a little more freedom but you can create a sacred space in a hospice environment. I selected allies, which of course from my primary ally is my wife of 35 years. She was my ally. I knew with my written directive she would follow it. So it's important to get an ally that will support your wishes. (00:22:30)

Then I defined what I thought was my sacred space, which is very specific because I like Buddhist statues and stuff like that. So that was mine. But it can be anything that you want it to be. Now, and this is the important, for over a thousand years, as I mentioned earlier, the Tibetans have been chanting by the side of someone about to die. That is for most of us not practical. Let's face it. I have twin boys, one of them is here today, and they're living busy lives. (00:23:16)

I cannot in any way, I'm not going to inflict my, ask my sons to sit by my side and chant for days. And I think where he goes with this is great because it's a good alternative considering the technology that we have available to us. So give it a listen and I think seriously, a lot of what he says can be applied to all of our plans and you make it personal to you. (00:23:48)

Everything needs to be personal to you on how you want to handle your death and your plan in relation to that. What we can do, he would love that. I may change my mind though at any time Eric, just so you know, so just be ready. But we can create our own affirmations and put them on a CD, can we not? What is your spiritual affirmations for yourself? It doesn't have to be the way the Tibetans said. I use a term that's very succinct and clear. (00:24:20)

Now I go to my higher self or higher self now or spiritual essence now. Whatever resonates for you, spiritual essence now, the source, whatever term is most meaningful for you. What do you feel is the core of your spiritual self? Now you see how Mr. Bowman is putting the decision on you. He's not saying that he's gonna, you know, roll up an astral ship like in the movie soul and try and go help and save people. Okay, he's putting you in the driver's seat. (00:25:02)

He's putting me in the driver's seat for us to take destiny into our own hands and make a clean exit out of here. That's why I respect his work greatly. And this is just his, you know, his work on, you know, working things you should do before you die. His out-of-body experience work is absolutely incredible. And everything that he's done with the Monroe Institute, the CDs you can, I mean, the audio files you can get, absolute gold mine. Why limit ourselves to the bardos as the Tibetans say? (00:25:42)

Why limit ourselves to the consensus realities of the astral which, by the way, 99.99% of all humanity goes to because of attachments. Attachments. And because of their self-identity as a male or a female human. Forget all that stuff. Focus, while you are in the process, if at all possible, focus on your highest spiritual intention. You create it. You put it into a verbal format and you record it. You could overlay it with music. I've created that. (00:26:20)

If you're interested, it's called Destination Higher Self. It was what I did for myself and Monroe Institute finally created it for me last month. And we can all do the same. You can get his CD or his audio file as an example, but we should all be making our own. Think of whatever type of music you would like to go out with. Think of whatever affirmations you would like to apply on your deathbed and have it repeating. That is going to be a reminder of your sovereignty and that you are not going to withdraw your consent again to end up back here. (00:27:04)

And it's a CD essentially with affirmations with Higher Self now and many other supportive affirmations that I direct my consciousness as I'm lying on my final moments. I will have a support mechanism without inflicting time or whatever on my family unit. And I know from hospice work, we can all have an auto-repeat CD player next to us in this transition. You can do this for your loved ones. Have it playing by their bedside. You create the affirmations. If you don't like mine, create your own. (00:27:42)

I created two separate CDs. One is designed though to be played at your bedside. Now see again, I'm gonna keep pointing out what a good message this is because it's really important that you're not listening to these other people who are telling you to go in between the net or follow this guru or that master or this book club or whatever it may be. You are in the driver's seat. You are going to be the control of your own destiny or be in control of your own destiny. (00:28:24)

And it's to replace the monks that used to be next to us a thousand years ago in our incarnations in Tibet. That's the purpose. To give us an opportunity for an enlightened transition. You play it by your bedside before, during, and after death. And now you detail. This is about intention. Your highest spiritual intention is focused upon. And you repeat that internally and it's repeated externally. Your entire space is saturated with your intention. Think of the power of this. (00:29:00)

And with modern technology, we don't need the, we don't need monks around us. You created yourself. Empower yourself for this important transition of consciousness. Empower your loved ones for this. It's critically important, I feel, for our evolution. And I'll explain why later. Detail your instructions, including what I call a spiritual directive. You put it in writing and you attach it to your will. You put it in detail. This is what I want done at my bedside. And you place it in writing and have someone you know that will follow through. (00:29:38)

And next, of course, you focus your mind on your highest spiritual intention. And it doesn't matter if the person is in a coma, because as doctors will tell you, the last thing that goes in the human is hearing. And I've mentioned that on this channel. The last thing that goes is your hearing. That's so important. So that's why having this playing is so crucial. You know, whatever you're gonna customize it to. (00:30:22)

That's why the Tibetan Book of the Dead is, it's, the concept is you go to your highest spiritual intention upon hearing. And now, and this is the last issue which some of you may find a little bit interesting. I firmly feel that cremation is important. I'm gonna explain why just in a moment. I know we live in a Judeo-Christian and most of us were brought up in that kind of background. Why is it that half the planet is cremated? (00:30:59)

All of the Buddhists and all the Hindus. It's not because somebody once told me, oh, it's because of lack of space. No, they wish to break attachments to form in the body. Exactly. The Tibetan Book of the Dead is very clear about this. They wish to break the attachments that we have to our biological vehicle. And cremation is one good way to do this. Why is there hauntings today? Think about it. Because people are still attached to their, not only their biological bodies, but to their homes, to their physical environment. (00:31:37)

There's nothing more negative to our spiritual development and accelerated growth than hanging around the physical world. Bingo. And I'll even go a step further than he does. All of it. All of it. I think if you even have even any of those hang-ups in the smallest way, you are prone to get lost and then end up, boom, right back under the grip of the system. So that's why everything needs to be shedded. (00:32:15)

And I think cremation is an excellent part of that because you're putting that intention out there that you are willingly and you're putting, again, you're putting the intention out there that you want that material attachment destroyed and done away with. So you can proceed the way you want to with no attachments. It's one thing of many, right? It is a total null point to our spiritual evolution. And part of it is the attachment because people are so identified with their biological body. Oh, this is me. This body is me. (00:32:57)

No, it's not. Our biological bodies are just temporary vehicles of our consciousness and we will all be exiting them and entering a more subtle energy body that's already part of us. We're transferring our consciousness, same way we do in a near-death experience and an OBE. I know this from having many, many, many out-of-body experiences. This, I feel, is critically important to the evolution of each of us individually and all of our loved ones because we can accelerate our spiritual evolution. (00:33:39)

It can be a rocket taking off at this transition point instead of just hoping for the best. It's our choice. It's always our choice. Exactly, right? Remember, everything is consent. It all boils down to consent. It's all our choice. But always keep in mind that any deviation off of that choice, even a forward movement towards the light or a forward movement towards something else, the illusion. And whatever the illusion may be, family members, pets, doesn't matter what it is. (00:34:27)

Any single attachment that you push forward and you are consenting by moving forward and going towards something or agreeing to go with something that isn't you. It's likely, it's almost guaranteed to be an illusion. Something, you know, almost like a fishing hook. You know, it's sitting out there, it's dangling into the water with a nice big worm on it and it's just waiting for you to bite it. You know, you might not bite the worm right away but eventually you're going to be tempted to. (00:35:07)

And the point is to throw that all away and make sure that it's not even a temptation in the first place. Right? And this is so important. The choices we make are critical. And this transition that we experience at death is an opportunity. It's not the end. It's a powerful spiritual opportunity. This is the way the Hindus view it. This is the way the Buddhists have viewed it. This is nothing new. But we've lost it in our materialistic culture, haven't we? (00:35:40)

And with these belief systems, layered upon beliefs and layered upon beliefs, the core element of spirituality is often buried under all these beliefs made by man. Anything made... the first thing I learned 41 years ago when I began to have out-of-body experience, every belief I'd ever been taught and learned was wrong. The first year of my out-of-body experience, it was mind-blowing at first. I was brought up a Lutheran. Six years in Lutheran school. (00:36:22)

My mother and family were very Lutheran. I had the confirmation the whole nine yards. When I had my first out-of-body experience it was a mind-blower. It's like, oh my God, there's a vast and multi-dimensional universe for us to explore. And here we are latching on to these man-made beliefs that change. It's pathetic, isn't it? It's pathetic. We have been hoodwinked. We have been taken for the biggest ride in the universe. And all I keep saying to everyone who's listening on this channel, do you want to risk it? I don't care what you believe. Do you want to risk it? (00:37:02)

Are you willing to roll the dice and risk it? That maybe this is wrong and just pooh-pooh it away and say, no big deal. Or do you want to at least entertain it and work on a plan for yourself to rid yourself of all the attachments so when the time comes at least it's there? And that's what I keep trying to say over and over, guys. It's so important that at least you entertain the idea, work on a plan. And you know what? If everything's wrong, so be it. (00:37:47)

But the latter is really messed up. We're talking about tons of proof of, you know, we're born ignorant. Memory wipe, okay? We don't have recollection of our past lives. We're not all babies here. We're not all babies. We know that we've probably been here for a long time. We also know that we've existed in some form prior to this and have been blocked from those memories. Why? Why, why, why are our memories not able to be tapped into? Why don't we carry those over? (00:38:25)

I mean, I'm not even talking... we barely have any. Any! Right? It's not like we came here and we have some. We have barely any. Barely any that we can base anything off of. Just think about that. That's all I'm saying. Don't, don't just... it's not something we should be gambling and rolling the dice on. It's way, way too risky. And I know most of the people listening here relate with this stuff. (00:39:08)

And I'm just trying to show the best examples I can of some incredible, you know, people, researchers, doctors, all that stuff that can be placed in a big puzzle and you look at it and say, okay, well, you know, I'm just going to consider it and I'm going to do the research on my own because that's what it really takes. I can sit here and talk all day long, but if you guys aren't doing your own research and seeing what's going on, it's, it's not going to mean as much. It takes time. I promise you. (00:39:43)

Well, I don't promise you, but I, I, I say that it is more than highly likely that you will see what I'm talking about and other people are talking about. If you just put in the time, you know, even for the new people that have shown up and are just touching on this subject, I highly, highly recommend, you know, you take a couple of days out of each week going forward for the next couple of years and invest some time. (00:40:16)

Read the NDEs, read the near-death, uh, I'm sorry, read the NDEs, watch, listen, whatever, uh, NDEs, past life regressions, pre-birth memories, all this, shared death experiences, all this stuff, just out-of-body experience work. Um, just, just spend some time. That's all I'm saying. You got this. Let's keep going. On the whim of some guy in a building? It's insane. Okay, so what is a common element of spiritual experiences throughout history? (00:40:53)

And this is seldom talked about because we often, in our society, we don't connect the dots. We accept what we're given at birth and then we think we've, we're changing a few things. We incorporate into our belief system a few elements of karma. Oh, I'm making big steps now. I believe in karma. Oh, and now I'm really getting enlightened. I believe in reincarnation. Wow, I'm on my way now. But we're hanging on to these core stuff. Maybe the time has come to break free. What is the core? (00:41:27)

When you look at the core of all religious texts, of all profound spiritual experience throughout the entire history of mankind, what is it? It's love. And it's also the experience of transcending the body on some level. When you hear about all these experiences, for instance, Revelation begins with I was in the spirit. I was in the spirit. When you hear about all these people that have had, that we consider special, because they've had these experiences, there's one common element. (00:42:02)

If you explore this, and that is these transcendental experiences, including near-death experiences, have a common element. They all, on some level, incorporated a transcendence of the body. Call it what you will. The term out of body is not even a good term. It's a transcendence of our biological body for some period of time. And then these people come back and wrote these profound texts, whether it be Revelations or the Quran, where Muhammad talks about the seven dimensions, traveling through seven. (00:42:46)

He certainly wasn't in his body when he's traveling through seven dimensions. But this is often lost. Why are OBEs, why are out-of-body experiences, and especially self-initiated experiences, important to you? In my books, I detail 27 benefits. The most important one is self-knowledge and verification. It's so critically important in this stage of humanity that we begin to verify these things, verify personally. It's critically important to our not only our personal evolution, but the evolution of the planet, I feel. Think of it, there's 7.2 billion people on the planet. (00:43:31)

The vast majority have no idea where they were before they were born. Think of it. Not a clue. They suddenly were born in a biological body and they're making the best of it. They don't know they're on this 80-90 year journey on this planet, and vast majority people don't have a clue where they're really going. They have cute terms like heaven, but they don't know what the destination truly is. See? See? I mean, really, this is absolutely an incredible lecture of someone who knows what's up. Mr. Bowman knows exactly what's going on. (00:44:18)

I would bet probably my life on it. That's how convinced I am that he knows. This is a man who's gone out of body a ton of times, written books, worked at the Monroe Institute, done a number of lectures, does workshops. This guy knows what's up. And again, we are born ignorant. We're born ignorant, not knowing where we come from, not knowing what we've done before. And he's just nailing it on the head for the audience to hear. It's beautiful. They hope and pray it's a nice place. Yeah, I'll post the link. (00:45:04)

They don't know why they're here. They don't know the spiritual purpose for it. It's like a collective insanity has gripped all of the planet, where we settle for so little. Yeah, and what do I say constantly? That the population of Earth is a collective of people that have Stockholm Syndrome. Stockholm Syndrome on steroids. And then what happens, and ask yourself just one question. What would you believe today if you would have been born in China or Iran? It would have been totally different, I can tell you that from living in four years in China. It would have been totally different than today. So can you really depend on beliefs? (00:46:12)

The key to our spiritual evolution is to obtain the answers, to become empowered, and obtain the answers for ourselves. And OBEs, self-initiated OBEs, is one way to do it. So is meditation, if you go deep enough. There's other ways. But this is one way that's largely been overlooked. The beauty of this is that they can be self-initiated and they are repeatable. Nobody wants to repeat a near-death experience, do they? No one. But OBE, out-of-body experiences, can be repeatable. You can learn techniques to do it. (00:46:52)

The shamans have been doing it for 10,000 years. The Tibetans have been doing it. The Hindus have been doing it. Yogis have been doing it. They all have their own semantics. They all have their own lingo. But this has been a common phenomena, core element of spiritual practice from the beginning of time. But in our modern materialistic culture and society, this is lost because we're totally focused on our bodies and the physical surroundings. There's many benefits. (00:47:27)

Spiritual self-knowledge, reduction in the fear of death. I have no fear of death because I know it's an illusion from personal experience, not just belief. And preparation for the afterlife. The more empowered you are now, the more empowered you will be after death. All of humanity is playing a multi-level chess game and they're only aware of one level of the game. Hear that? Listen again. All of humanity is playing a multi-level chess game and yet we settle for so little and settle for just accept this one level because we were told in our childhood somewhere. I was. Me too. Oh, just believe the answer. Just have faith. (00:48:21)

We have the ability as powerful spiritual beings to obtain the answers. Okay, briefly, what have we learned from 40 years of documented near-death experiences and OBEs about the afterlife? We've learned a tremendous amount the problem is it's often still there's so many books, there's 50,000 books published every year now. Okay, thank you Eric. This is just the basics of what we learned. We continue to exist without a physical body, especially with an OBE. Near-death experiences are very brief. (00:49:08)

People that have begun to control their OBEs can command it for over an hour. Fully conscious and explore. Become an explorer of consciousness and truly begin to obtain the answers. But it's not hardly known in our society. I still have people come up to me. I've been teaching this for 25 years. People come up to me and still ask me, well, why would you want to do that? Answers? Maybe. We can think and function without a biological brain. (00:49:42)

This is, a lot of people don't even think of this. Our non-physical, our true self doesn't breathe air. We don't possess biological bodies. That's not what we are. We're non-physical beings or a lot of people just throw around the term of spirit. We're non-physical beings, temporary use in a biological body. We can re-enter and exit our biological body through practice. The Tibetans have done it. Shamans do it. (00:50:18)

We can do it through techniques and practice. OBEs can be extended. Very important because that's where you obtain true information, especially in a thought-responsive universe that we enter during these experiences. And what happens, you know, the same thing with, you know, he's talking about out-of-body experience. The same thing happens with NDEs. Everything is thought response. Everything is it's instant, okay? You get these instant responses but there's little parasites out there directing and telling people what to do. So we got to add that into the mix too. (00:51:00)

We have to take control of our own destiny here. Thought responsive, very thought responsive. That's the problem. A lot of people that have very brief experiences have, basically, they encounter their own thoughts and they think they're encountering the nature of reality. They're encountering their own fears. This is where I feel the term of Satan and the devil come from. People confronted their own manifestation of their own fears. The Tibetans talk about this. It's nothing new but most people have no idea. (00:51:41)

Is it possible that that's where the entire concept of Satan and the devil come from? Of course it is. People that, like these mystical, mystics of the Bible, were having these experiences and they were trying to interpret them according to their own culture and their own society. We always must remember that. And this is where it becomes very interesting. And I jump ahead here. When we prolong our out-of-body state, and this becomes extremely interesting. (00:52:23)

I've done this a hundred times and it's fascinating, it's mind-blowing, and it screws over people's minds something terrible because we're so conditioned to believe we're a human. When I prolong my OB, not only myself but hundreds and hundreds of people that I've taught and know, when we prolong our out-of-body experiences, just the very act, you move away from your body. I teach a technique called Awareness Now. You bring as much awareness into that energy body as you can. It's your mantra. (00:52:55)

It's your chant. Awareness Now. My body's here. I'm over here. Awareness Now. Guess what happens? Our energy body begins, our arms and legs begin to dissolve away. The humanoid form dissolves away as we begin to become our true self. The entire humanoid form eventually dissolves away and we become at first like a teardrop of consciousness, a globe of consciousness, and then a point of consciousness. Because this is what we are at our core. We're not gender-based. We're not matter-based. (00:53:44)

We are pure conscious awareness, or call it what you will, pure spirit. Spirit is no more a humanoid form than it is a bee or a bird. A soul or spirit is pure conscious awareness using various multitude of beautiful energy bodies to experience and explore this immense and beautiful reality we're in. Ah yes, Mr. Bowman is correct in some sense. The scenery around here is beautiful. And, um, but what comes along with the rest of it does not make up for that beauty. That's just my opinion. (00:54:37)

There's very little I disagree with Mr. Bowman, but, um, you know, I'm just at the point where enough is enough. That's just me personally. Right now, all of us, as you sit here, you're extending your consciousness through the entire multi-dimensional universe to be listening to this message. Through multiple dimensions of thought, of energy, the astral, the etheric, all the way into the biological body. Right now you're expanding your consciousness. (00:55:12)

It's part of the training that we're, that's part of the reason for being in a body. Right, it's far more interesting form of evolution we're into than what you're going to read in the books. We are far more exciting and amazing beings than anyone, than my humble words can begin to express, in my books even, because we're so much more than this. We're so much more than any form. Some of the Buddhists knew this when they talked about the bardos and going beyond the bardos. (00:55:42)

That's why they talk about going to the clear light, going to the void, having the courage to go beyond form. It takes courage to do this. It takes courage to accept your true potential. You hearing that? That's a very important message. It does take courage, because we've become accustomed to this place, lifetime after lifetime. We may not remember it, but we get familiar with it, and it's passed on lifetime after lifetime. It's embedded in us lifetime after lifetime. (00:56:26)

And it does take courage to be able to look at this type of material and say, hey, I finally figured out what the hell's going on here, and I've had enough, and I am going to take matters into my own hands and shed all this materialism, shed all this crap, shed all these attachments, and I'm going to take control of my own destiny and get the hell out of here and all of its sub realms. (00:56:52)

Because I'm telling you what is out there, the earth is like a grain of sand. You know how they... remember how they make us feel like we're like nothing compared to the universe? You know how they love to push that space bullshit and say, oh, well, you know, you're just a speck of sand in the beach compared to this. Well, guess what? This realm is a speck of sand, and we are way more powerful than all of that. We can transcend this entire place and get the hell out of here. But it's up to us as individuals. (00:57:29)

This is not a group journey. We can sit here and have a good time as a group and discuss things. And, you know, it's not... there's nothing negative about this. It's just we have to take matters into our own hands. It's up to us as individuals to do this. No one can hold your hand and walk you through this. We all have to stand our ground when the time comes and take matters into our own hands. So I'm sorry for kind of repeating myself, but I think it's really important because he's saying the same thing I am and other people are saying. (00:58:09)

But you just got to be careful of these shills out there who are trying to get you to go along with some corrupted plan that involves you giving away a piece of yourself. And there's plenty of them out there. Particularly this elephant creature. And then begin to express it. And it's exciting. Immensely exciting. What are we? We are an immortal and highly creative non-physical species. And we mold our self-identity and our surroundings with our thoughts. (00:58:51)

Here, this is the epidermis of the universe, a thin outer crust. It's tiny compared to the other dimensions. Minuscule. You have no idea how tiny this thing is. Once you enter the other dimensions, there are immense levels upon levels. All those ideas of 7 and 11 are bull. It goes beyond anything our mind can comprehend. Anything more than my mind can comprehend, certainly. It's immense. This is the epidermis, the outer crust of the universe. (00:59:24)

And when you have an OBE or near-death experience, you are entering into the substructure of the universe. That's why there's a tunnel. It's a membrane. Each energy dimension appears to be separated by a membrane. And that tunnel is a it's amazing. And we are all of this because we are a microcosm of the entire universe. Imagine, it's all us. We're not separated. We are it. It's, you know, we are just so amazing. So what are the basics of non-physical reality? (01:00:03)

There's no air. There's no biological bodies. You know, let's grow up. The term heaven is almost childish. These realities are real. That's our true home. Let's not, let's... The heaven, the false heaven and false hell matrices out there are a joke. They're self-created by humanity themselves. We have created those. We've helped aid in that creation. And guess what? It's used against us. It's used against us. Do you want to go there and be part of that? I don't. It's up to you. (01:00:46)

Let's look at it for the reality of what it is. There's no senses that we use now. There's no five physical senses. None of these things that we're used to. We have to learn the new rules of non-physical reality when you die and when you move inward, which is part of the problem. People don't know the rules, so they hover close to the physical. And this is, of course, what creates these, all these physical anomalies and hauntings. Why are loved ones hanging close? (01:01:16)

Because they haven't been instructed to go further inward into the universe. The universe has no linear time. There's no death. There's no aging. There's no molecular decay. None of these things exist. It's so exciting because this is us. Reality is molded by collective thought. Individual and collective thought. That's what heaven is. It's a consensus collective reality of group minds that create and mold a form-based reality that people call heaven. Think of it. Does not this make sense in a thought-responsive subtle reality? (01:01:55)

The further inward we go into the universe, the more thought-responsive it becomes. It's incredibly exciting because we are the powerful creatures. We are the creative force. Thought energy. What controls your actions? What creates your heaven? Your thoughts. And this is what I detail as the thought, basically the energy principles of thought. Thought is a creative force. The less dense the environment or energy that you surrounds you, the more creative and powerful, the faster the restructuring can occur by the focused power of your own thought. (01:02:47)

The effectiveness and speed which thought restructures any energy environment is determined by the intensity of the thought and the density of the energy it is acting upon. In what we call heaven, it is a subtle reality. And our thoughts can influence it. And the further inward we go, the easier, the faster this restructuring occurs. These are not theories. You hearing that? This is the same thing that happens when you even just apply something simple like meditation. Same thing. Even just a small mindfulness training. (01:03:25)

I can't speak enough about setting yourself up with like a mindfulness alarm. Doing affirmations. Getting yourself in the zone where you're looking inward. Not outward at gurus and book clubs. Or wannabe book clubs. Just to throw that out there. Some of you may understand. These are observational facts when you have an OBE. I want to stress this. I am not presenting theories here. This is what I and others have observed firsthand. Just quickly, the evolution, the evolution of soul is the evolution of consciousness. (01:04:08)

We are evolving through biological bodies. We're learning slowly, for most people, through trial and error. But we can accelerate our own evolution by the way that we learn to become multi-dimensional ourselves. There's choices to be made. We can settle for belief systems, or we can decide ourselves individually that I've had enough of being the pawn of beliefs, governments, whatever. I have the ability within myself to have my own profound spiritual experience and to accelerate my personal evolution. (01:04:55)

And I am not totally, this is not, this is also, everything I'm saying here relates also to meditation. Yogis throughout the centuries have talked about this union and about these mystical experiences. Same applies. They're just using different semantics to describe it. Whether it be revelations, or whether it be the Quran, or whether it be yogis, or the Tibetan Book of the Dead, or the Egyptian Book of the Dead, they're all at their core referring to the same inner journey of consciousness. (01:05:26)

That is our journey. The more enlightened we become about our journey and our ability to impact our own progress, the more that we will advance through these, let's just say our evolution is accelerated. To be truly prepared for our afterlife journey, I feel it's imperative that we become explorers of consciousness today. Not believers, not readers of consciousness, active explorers. I don't care if it's meditation, or self-initiated out-of-body experiences, or whatever method resonates with you. (01:06:14)

All I can say is that I would compel you to do it, because actions are so much more important than just beliefs. It's so true, because everything that we've talked about on this channel, and there's other channels talking about it too. Not enough, I wish there were more, but there's a lot you have to be careful about out there. Again, when you have people chirping in your ear telling you what you should do, and where you should go, or who you should follow, or this or that, that's when you're giving yourself up. (01:06:56)

You're in the driver's seat, and that's the only way out of here. That's the only way out of here. That's my opinion. You want to take the gamble, go for it. But that's my very, very strong... no, it's a knowing. It's a strong knowing. That's where it is. So make of it what you will, but just don't let yourself get caught up in this mess again, and get memory wiped, where you're never going to know this information. This may be the... (01:07:25)

you may not figure this out for five, ten, a hundred, hundred thousand lifetimes from now. Again, do you want to roll the dice? It's so... I think we have the ability to accelerate our entire evolutionary cycle, because let's face it, what is the evolutionary cycle? Science tells us about these changes around us, these biological forms, don't they? Darwin. Oh yeah, things are evolving. They're missing the entire show. Evolution is not about the... the biological changes are the result of the spiritual changes that are happening. (01:08:08)

True evolution is our evolution through form, through matter, through the other dimensions of the universe, through the consensus realities that exist within the astral. Our journey at death is just beginning. This concept... and it's wonderful. Death is... should be a celebration. In our culture it's all the gnashing of teeth, and crying, and everybody... my god, it's... we've... we've lost it completely. It's a celebration of our continuing evolution, because let's face it, no one that has ever lived on this planet hasn't died. We're all on the same evolutionary path. We're evolving through form. (01:08:54)

We're evolving through these biological bodies. And guess what? On what commonly is called the other side, you have another body. Your astral body, or is what today called your light body. And then we take all of our stuff with us. Evolution continues there. We're not... we're not little tinkerbell angels at death. We continue. We have to work on the same stuff. If you have an issue in your physical life, and you don't resolve it, it's going with you. (01:09:29)

Hate to tell you this, but that's the truth. Why is it, ask yourself, why is it that thousands, tens of thousands of psychics can still communicate with your loved ones, and do it effectively? And everybody thinks it's great. And I think it's... I think it has its place. Don't get me wrong. But why is this communication possible? It's because your loved ones are next to you. Think of it. Your loved ones are still next to you, or very close. (01:10:11)

At death, people move this far into the universe. Because the universe is a multi-dimensional continuum, so vast it's beyond my conception to describe. The reason they can still be contacted is because they've moved so little. Hear that? Because they have moved so little. They get stuck here. They have not crossed over yet, and been through the entire cycle, and ended up being spit back out here. They're in a confused state. (01:10:52)

And that's why, like I like to say, when we're going through death, there is this sweet spot where we are taken advantage of. And if we just assert ourselves immediately, and not allow the illusions to overtake us, that's our best time to maximize our exit plan. Because we just shut it down immediately. We don't even allow anything to proceed. These poor lost souls that are roaming around, looking for their body, looking to come back. If you've seen the movie Soul, that's a great example of that. (01:11:28)

Because what does he want to do? He wants to keep coming back so he can play in the band, or at the club with that group, and do what he loves, and get away from being a middle school or high school band teacher, whatever he was. And by the way, just as a side note, for anyone interested, I am doing a soul watch party. Email me foreverconsciousresearch at gmail.com. That's foreverconsciousresearch at gmail.com. That's all one word, or all together. (01:12:02)

And just put in the email topic, or email subject, soul watch party, and then I will send you out an email with the site and the login details to join us. I'll be doing a commentary on the whole movie, and then afterwards we'll have a group discussion that's open. And we'll, however long it lasts, it lasts. We'll have a good time. And if we get enough people, then we'll make it a regular thing. And just really quickly, I wanted to thank AA for the three dollar super chat. (01:12:30)

That's the first one I've ever gotten, and very much appreciated. Thank you very much. To the vastness of the universe, and why? Because they're so attached to you. Doesn't it make sense? That's why they can be communicated with. We can do better. We have the ability to detach ourselves, like the Buddha said, the in the beauty, and the beauty of the eightfold path. It's about detachment, about letting go. Maybe even letting go our loved ones a little bit more. (01:13:07)

Hear that? Hear that? It's, it's not, it's, he's dropping a truth bomb there because of how important it is. He says maybe, because he's reluctant. He doesn't want to lose people. That's my opinion. But he's saying, he's talking the truth, because the illusions come at the time of death in the form of your loved ones, pets, whatever, gurus, all that stuff. So that's everything we need to be aware of. He's, he's putting it all out there. (01:13:42)

Ourselves, accelerating our spiritual evolution is about this journey of consciousness far beyond the consensus realities or the bardos. Our evolutionary path is this inward journey through layers and layers of consciousness. But it's our choice whether we're going to be attached or to let it go, to be free. This is exactly what the Tibetans have been talking about for 1400 years. Unfortunately, the way they describe it, it's so difficult. Most people can't read the Tibetan Book of the Dead and make heads or tails of it. But I'm just cutting it to the core here. (01:14:26)

Just really quick, since he's, since he mentioned that and I'm in agreement with him, there are some updated versions of the Tibetan Book of the Dead. But again, you're not getting the core. All right. Everyone needs this book. This is what you need. All right. Self-liberation through seeing with naked awareness. Okay. The translator or is right here. All right, John Reynolds. You can find this on Amazon or eBay. There is also, um, there is also this book available, I believe, on YouTube where you can get the whole thing read to you. I believe. But, um, I really suggest like, see, I, I, I tab my books. I highlight my books. (01:15:23)

I go crazy. And, um, especially when I'm really deep in a book that I feel can help me. And, uh, that book will help you. I promise you. So I highly, highly suggest purchasing that book. It's cheap. I think I bought it for 13 bucks or something like that. Um, either way, uh, it's definitely some recommended reading to help you. I mean, the title says it, right? I mean, it's self-liberation through seeing with naked awareness. (01:16:00)

So I, I, you know, just to throw that out there, we have this great opportunity to become explorers of consciousness and obtain the answers for ourselves. And now is the time to do it. We live at the perfect time, the perfect place in the perfect age. I would have been burned at the stake for saying these things 300 years ago. Would I not? I would have, we all would have been burned at the stake for attending such a thing. Isn't it the truth? We would all been witches or whatever. (01:16:34)

We're in the perfect time and you're in your perfect incarnation to empower yourself. That's why you're here. That's why you're at this conference. That's why you're in this body. Now take advantage of this wonderful opportunity we have and the freedoms we have to break free from all of the man-made beliefs. You hearing that? Mr. Bowman, my hat is off to you, my friend. I just love this man. He's just, he's spitting out truth and he's not saying it directly, but he is at the same time. (01:17:12)

It's, it's a really, really great, great lecture. Just love it. And to declare spiritual independence, become a spiritual independent, have the courage to say, and it's, I reject all belief systems. I am going to find out for myself, darn it. I don't need this stuff weighing me down. I don't need all this guilt. I don't need all this fear. I don't need all this indoctrination that has held back our entire evolution of our, all of humanity for centuries and centuries. (01:17:56)

We're at the perfect time, the perfect place to break free and become spiritually independent from all of the BS that surrounds us in our society. Bam. And now's the time to do it. Learn the skills of an out of, not necessarily an out of body explorer, learn the skills of an inner explorer of consciousness through meditation or whatever method that resonates with you. But I'll tell you one thing, if there's beliefs associated with it, I'd be careful. That's how I feel. I, in my workshops, I only teach one thing. I have one rule. There's no beliefs. (01:18:33)

I've rejected all beliefs 35 years ago. I have one rule in my workshops and that is don't think about your body when you're in an altered state. That's the only rule I have. Other than that, it's about having your own experience. At Monroe, I teach people to have their own experiences. It's all about experiential. It's about your experience. It doesn't matter what mine were. I wrote three books on how to do this. (01:19:06)

And I'm in the process of finishing my fourth one, which I'm sure will be my last. And I tried to make it as clear and concise with no BS, how to empower ourselves to become explorers of consciousness. To just strip away all the BS and just go for it. Because now is the time. And it's exciting because this is an exciting journey of consciousness. It's fun. It is so incredibly fun. You feel so alive after one of these experiences. Like, wow, you can't. (01:19:41)

The problem is you can't express it. How do you tell someone who has no idea? And I've run into this 41 years ago. I tried to even tell my mother about my out-of-body experiences. And she just looked at me like, what are you smoking? And I don't blame her. I did have long hair. What are you smoking, Bill? And then I finally got across to her. Mom, this is for real. This is really happening. This is for real. But this is what we have to deal with. (01:20:15)

You have to have the courage to be an independent explorer of consciousness. You're not going to have a church of out-of-body exploration, except for maybe Monroe. We have to become independent explorers to have the courage to do it on our own, to follow our own process, to follow our own intuition. Because a lot of times we won't get support from our peer group and from our family unit even. (01:20:51)

But it's so incredibly exciting when you have these experiences and you just know, oh my god, you get these waves of knowledge that is beyond anything you can express to anyone you may know. But suddenly you become a knower instead of a believer. And isn't that where we've come? We've come to the point where we know. You know, you have people that will show up and they'll say, how do you know? How do you know? It takes a lot of effort. (01:21:25)

I mean, it's such a large combination of so many things to get to this point where we know this stuff. And I just say to the people that are new, don't give up. Don't give up. Keep looking. Keep questioning. Keep looking within. Don't stop. It is one of the most rewarding things you can look into. Don't get distracted by the stupid conspiracies out there. Don't get distracted by the stupid lockdowns or the face coverings or this or that. I mean, all that stuff. It's a distraction. (01:22:07)

Everything is a distraction to keep you away from looking at something like this. I just cannot stress enough that this topic in and of itself is so huge and it takes a lot of time that all this other crap means nothing. It means nothing. It's just part of the bigger picture that helps you see it. But if you already know it and you've already looked at the, you know, thousands and one conspiracy, this and that, and you've seen, okay, I see deception there. So what? (01:22:47)

Okay. What? You're going to see the next one and the next one and the next one and the next one. It's there ready and waiting on a platter to show you and prove to you that something's wrong. And then you move on to the next one and the next one. Just stop. Stop. It's over. That's, that's the best thing I could suggest. I've been down this road for so many years and I cannot stress enough that there just comes a point where you have to just say, okay, everything is meant to be that way. Everything's inverted. (01:23:22)

Everything's insane and just accept it. But these areas, when you're talking about looking within and looking at near-death experiences, reading, analyzing, seeing the patterns, doing the same exact thing for shared death experiences, pre-birth experiences, life between life, you know, out-of-body experiences, DMT trip reports, all this stuff, you start to see a pattern and the pattern is so clear and so in your face that it can't be denied. And you know, in my opinion, and a lot of people in the chat room feel that way. So just hang in there. It's worth it. (01:24:05)

I promise you, if you're new to this, just hang in there. Just don't stop looking, but don't fall into the distractions because it's just going to take you off the path of like the most important thing you could possibly learn. Again, that's my opinion, but it's extremely rewarding. As hard as it is to accept, it's ridiculously rewarding and freeing once you figure it out. And that's what self-empowerment is all about. And that's why I think this is important, to learn this, so that we do not end up like billions of people before us are still hanging around the lowest portions of the astral plane, hoping to communicate with their loved ones, because of attachments, because of their self-concept of, oh, I'm a woman, I'm a human, I'm still form-based. (01:25:06)

We're so much more than that. We have to let it go. And this will open up new realms that are beyond your expectations. Well, in summation, what I'd like to cover is the CD that I was just released. It's called Destination Higher Self. The purpose, it's a two CD set. The one CD is to be played by the bedside, just to clarify, the bedside of your loved one or yourself, who is in the course of transition. And it's basically a series of affirmations, go to your higher self. (01:25:46)

Higher self now. Spiritual essence now. Source now. I'm going to rewind that, because I think it's a really important thing to hear. Let's replay that. And it's basically a series of affirmations, go to your higher self. Higher self now. Spiritual essence now. Source now. It's a series of clear, concise affirmations. Monroe Products made it, so the quality is, their quality is always superb. They use a Focus 10 Hemisync, which is a very sophisticated binaural beat. (01:26:36)

Binaural beats are used at Hemisync because they have been scientifically proven to help us to go into a relaxed, altered state faster. That's what they're used for. That's what I use them in my workshops. Hemisync is the name of the technology. It's been around for almost 40 years. It's the most probably well-known binaural beat technology on earth today. Also, for those that are interested, my new workshop is called Destination Higher Self, and this, the entire workshop, is not about OBEs, even though that's what people kind of connect me to. (01:27:20)

It is about preparing your way for your enlightened transition, or for your loved one, how to prepare for this critical step in our evolution. Because it's a launch pad. People look at it in such a negative way. It's a launch, death is a launch pad. The Buddhists have been saying this for a long time. The shamans say it. It is a verifiable launch pad of consciousness if we turn it into that, if we make it into that. It's like all choices in life, it is what you make it. (01:27:57)

You can make death into a horrible, terrible thing, or it can be a celebration of a spiritual experience for your loved one and yourself. And that's what I think is the enlightened choice. So I want you to keep this in mind, that this is a, this is just an opportunity. It's a powerful opportunity. How much? Okay, we have four big minutes for those who have questions, that may have a quick question. Yes? I see exactly what you mean. This is my take on this. What's the purpose of physical life, basically? Why be physical at all? (01:29:14)

I think part of it is, this may sound strange, individualization is part of it. I feel that that's the core element, is individualization. Remember, we're non-form-based beings. The concept of individualization, we, it's us now, it's very, oh, you're sitting here, you're sitting here, you're totally... imagine in a non-form-based reality. That is a big step to create total, total separation and independence. Also, I believe it's a training for extended periods for consciousness. (01:29:54)

But also, think of this, in a pure spiritual environment, would you have, there'd be no need to develop, there's no, there's no fear, there's no threats against your being, you can't die. How can you ever develop these soul qualities of courage, for instance? I'll just name one. How can you develop the qualities of an advanced spiritual soul, if you don't internalize them and experience them? Think about, maybe this is a purpose for war. (01:30:31)

The soldier, in the middle of a war, a grenade lands in the foxhole, he throws himself on the grenade to save his buddy. What did he just internalize? Self-sacrifice, incredible courage. He internalized it through his actions. We can't experience fear and death and all of these negative emotions in the pure spiritual realms. This is the training ground of soul. Yeah, I mean, he's right. I mean, the problem is with the war is, you know, I would imagine he knows this, that it's all war is engineered and done on purpose. (01:31:15)

And I think it all goes back to the loose extraction when it comes to wars. And a big part of going out of body is facing your fears. Um, the first time I did it, it, you know, the first few times I did it, it's, it's scary. It does scare you. It freaks you out because you're not used to it. It also, for me personally, I know a lot of people don't experience this, but I do for some reason, where it just drains me of my energy for a day or two afterwards and it's rough. (01:32:03)

So, um, I know a lot of people don't experience that, but I guess that's just the way it works with me personally. Um, but that, but facing your fears, that's a huge, huge part of it. And, um, you know, I still have an issue with that. You know, I don't go out of body that often. I wish I was able to go out more and, and was more invested in it and it's something I need to work on, but, um, I still get freaked out. (01:32:40)

Uh, and you know, I'm not able to explore as far as I would like to, but I do think it's important that we face those fears because we are going to deal with some, some crap when we leave here and we could shut it down quick, which is, which is a very, that's very reassuring to know that. But at the same time, it would be nice to be able to utilize, uh, our abilities while we're in the human body to go outside the body while we're still kind of connected here. (01:33:17)

So we're more familiarized with what's going on once we leave here, right? I mean, that's kind of just common sense. So I just wanted to throw that out there. This is the harsh training ground of soul where we get to experience and to internalize through our actions, our evolutionary process. This is why wars will always be because wars are part of the training. Remember, in the big scheme of things, we're immortal. This is the playing field of consciousness. (01:33:54)

It's just a playing field for the, for the immortality of us. Now, we don't look at it that way because we're immersed in it, but once you die, this will be just a playing field where we can get to hone our own individual skills through action, through personal sacrifice, through personal giving, through personal loving. We internalize by doing it. We become what we wish to learn. That's one of the things that I've learned that was mind-blowing. We become what we wish to learn. We don't read about it. (01:34:30)

We become it. If you want to know what it's like to be a human female in the 21st century, you become a human female. That's what soul does, I find. It's wild and it's wonderful at the same time because we are all evolving by being, by using the tools we have, our biological bodies. And again, I'd like to thank everybody. I've just been informed my time is up. Thank you all. Thank you all. (01:35:01)
