What a wonderful summary, Noble Knight! It is so clearly outlined. I shall create a link to it from the "Further reading" page of my site when I get around to revising it.

Many thanks for posting this. Hope you are well.

By that definition, which incidentally I fully agree with (based on my own experience through mediation), I am more likely to be dead than alive.

Interesting read that I did enjoy. I am curious though - was it just me or did you get the impression that other than language and the lack of a physical body that not much is different in the afterlife. More to the point, not much is different the day before you die than the day after you die in terms of enlightenment or understanding of the mental baggage (culture, custom, secular law, phobia, dogma, etc) we all carry. I sort of felt like the author was implying that our afterlife would be in part based on the mood or mental state we were in when we died. Am I reading to much into that aspect? Any thoughts?

Actually this seems to be correct. We don't really change. Although i think we may have a more global view about past lives and the reason we incarnated. We have access to many things but we have to study. We need to work to progress on the other side too.

Hmmm - It does make me ponder how many souls take one step forward and two steps back in this progress of understanding. Something about that just does not feel right. Maybe your right - could be the mood I am in at this moment or maybe I am biased. I suppose this too could persist.

To gain a broader perspective on life, death and what follows it might be beneficial to read more of the books compiled from Silver Birch's many teachings and Q&A sessions.
