thank you for the materialism context and introducing NDEs. new to me and very compelling! the consistency of the reports, and just as significantly, of different traditions worldwide means we ought to take this stuff more seriously. i read How We Live is How We Die by Pema Chodron last year and it has a lot to say on these themes. she talks about how one’s cultural context actually informs what they see after death. which actually feels obvious once i think about it. like dreams :) a main point of her book is that our day to day decisions and practice determines how we will act in the bardo/afterlife between lives, which in her tradition is a critical moment.
thank you for all that you are sharing right now! i’m really enjoying your podcast
Yes! There are NDE reports from cultures across the world that have some core similarities and evidence that these experiences have informed spiritual / religious understandings, and also been influenced by these frameworks. it's all fascinating!
I love How we Live is How we Die - its full of deep wisdom and so accessible. Thank you for listening to my stories!
When we humans remember how enchanted our existence is, there will be no more “ordinary” consciousness for we will have entered the truth of reality as it is- multi-dimensional!

and i just read a chapter from Black Elk Speaks last night and Nicholas Black Elk’s great vision seems to follow some NDE patterns too. wow!
and many psychedelic experiences, shamanic journeys etc. many portals in to the Otherworld.
really meaningful to learn that the traditions of my ancestors involved these kinds of experiences! thank you for your interpretations 🙏🏻

I continue to hold the intention that as a species we can arrive at that - yes!
