1:13

is. Episode One hundred eighteen of Paranormal

1:15

Stories sub so dumb. Reading from

1:18

Robert to Philips his book Signals

1:20

in the Noise in Countering the

1:22

limits of materialist science and exploration

1:24

of consciousness and reality. When I

1:26

guess so my caucus I read

1:29

the books to work out questions.

1:31

The episodes Been reading these books

1:33

always been such fascinating information than

1:35

ever makes into the podcast. And

1:38

here I get a chance to give you a peek into the

1:40

book. Of. Put a link to the

1:42

book in the show notes and I did seek

1:44

permission to record this extract and the author kind

1:46

you said? Yes! And. If enjoy

1:48

the podcast, please leave a review and be

1:51

sure to subscribe. So. I'm

1:53

going to read from chapter fourteen

1:55

which is titled What His Death

1:57

and can memories continue. This

2:00

is what Roberts written. Pre.

2:03

And post death phenomena. According

2:05

to studies by Pete authentic. Several.

2:08

Phases can be experienced by people who

2:10

are in the process of dying. His

2:13

research is based on reports of people have

2:15

at the bedside of the time. The.

2:17

First phase might be a premonition

2:19

that sometimes happen some days before

2:21

dying. As. We saw

2:23

in the case of Abraham Lincoln. He

2:26

experienced a premonition in his dream. The.

2:28

Second phase consists of death but

2:30

visions of people, spirits or pets

2:33

who will come to help the

2:35

dying person. Sometimes. They

2:37

leave. But. Say they'll come back. Sometimes.

2:40

They stay until the end. And

2:42

shortly before death, a dying person may

2:44

seem to be in the mouth of

2:47

another realm of reality. In

2:49

some instances, like in the cases

2:51

of Steve Jobs and Thomas Edison,

2:54

They report their impressions as though they

2:56

are seeing another reality. Occasionally

2:58

another off the death event happens.

3:01

In a dream described as more real

3:03

than rail. The person who dies

3:06

appears to a loved one. Looks.

3:08

Radiant reports that they are fine

3:10

and needs to leave. I've

3:12

experienced this kind of dream twice, and

3:14

I can testify that it is more

3:17

real than reality itself. I

3:19

cannot say with certainty, but it was

3:21

anything other than my mind attempting to

3:23

reach closure on the loss of my

3:25

first wife. Or my young pregnant

3:27

sister. By. Have never

3:30

had such an intense dreamlike

3:32

experience before and happened since.

3:35

In the West these events suggests that

3:37

death is not a single event that

3:39

happens and is over. Instead

3:41

indicates that dying is a process that

3:43

ends in what we called death. A

3:46

final cessation of bodily functions.

3:49

These. Facts make the exact definition

3:51

of death vital. Onto

3:54

the next section. It's titled. Death.

3:56

In Buddhism. Input.

3:58

Is thought of. That is, die in

4:01

a sequence starting with the Gross Body. Eventually.

4:03

Reaching the subtle body. And finally

4:06

ending this lift experience with the death

4:08

of are very subtle body as he

4:10

enters the transition stage of a pod

4:12

I. Between. This life and

4:15

the next. Day or

4:17

simplified definitions of the Buddhist

4:19

concept of bros subtle and

4:21

very subtle bodies. The

4:24

gross body is the physical form

4:26

we can see and touch by

4:28

the flesh, bones, blood, another material

4:30

elements. It is the basis

4:32

for the gross mind. Which. Depends on

4:35

the body and see says when the body

4:37

dies. The gross body

4:39

is subject to aging, sickness, and

4:41

death. It. Is also influenced

4:43

by karma and afflictions. The.

4:46

Subtle Body is the energetic system

4:48

that supports the subtle mind. Which.

4:51

Underpins the five senses and provides

4:53

information to the very subtle mind.

4:57

The. Subtle Body consists of channels

4:59

wins and drop circulating throughout

5:01

the body and carrying the

5:03

subtle consciousness. The. Subtle

5:06

Body can be purified and

5:08

transformed. Three meditation practices such

5:10

as yoga, tank, truck, and

5:12

diet. He visualization. The.

5:15

Subtle body does not go from life to

5:17

live but the solves at the time of

5:19

death. A very

5:21

subtle body is the most refined

5:23

level of existence. Inseparable,

5:26

From the very subtle mind. Which.

5:28

Is the root of all consciousness on

5:30

the carrier of karma. The

5:33

very subtle body is a clear light

5:35

the pervades the entire body and mind.

5:38

It is not affected by birth. Death.

5:41

Or the intermediate states. Is

5:43

also called Buddha Nature. Be.

5:46

A night mind of clear light. Very

5:49

subtle body can be realized and

5:51

actualized to advance meditation. Very.

5:54

Subtle body as the basis

5:56

for attaining enlightenment and omniscience.

6:00

The next section which is titled. In

6:02

the west. Even the

6:04

term near death experience a term

6:06

coined by doctor. I'm a moody.

6:09

Clouds. The issue. Best. I've

6:11

used the term unexplained consciousness

6:14

events. With. Nd as a

6:16

subset To clarify. I'm

6:18

not considering all the other reported

6:21

characteristics of and disease. Only

6:23

those were a consciousness event could not

6:25

be explained in any other way and

6:27

was validated by at least one other

6:30

person. For. Instance: While

6:32

they are incomplete explanations specific

6:34

physiological effects of the dying

6:36

brain or he the tunnel

6:39

and light out of body

6:41

experience. Of confuse the issue

6:43

to the extent that I don't depend

6:45

on them to justify my propositions. Although

6:48

they are relevant. Be. Suspects or not

6:50

the topic of this park. In

6:52

this next section is titled. Final:

6:55

Death in the West. We.

6:57

In the West generally think

7:00

of irreversible information theoretic death.

7:02

As the final stage when old

7:05

bodily structures needed to form

7:07

the personality or damaged beyond recovery.

7:10

This. Is not clinical. Death. Physicians.

7:13

Revive People. And sometimes people

7:15

spontaneously revive themselves from clinical

7:17

best minutes later, and on

7:19

rare occasions many hours later

7:21

based on the conditions of

7:23

that death. According to

7:25

the current materialistic medical model of.

7:28

Without. The ability to reconstitute

7:31

or personality a state called

7:33

information Theoretic Death. We.

7:35

Have lost the ability to be

7:37

conscious and are irreversibly dead. By.

7:40

Undies are causing us to rethink

7:42

the materialist concepts of consciousness and

7:44

precisely how it relates to the

7:47

process of death and dying. Even.

7:49

Though western science claims the irreversible

7:51

death, his final. In

7:54

Buddhist the hope the death of the gross body

7:56

does not mean the subtle body is dead yet.

7:59

I would roughly. Quite the states to

8:01

clinical or near death. This

8:03

would mean our conscious mind is present

8:05

in the subtle a body until it

8:07

dies to. And then we're left

8:10

with the very subtle body which does not

8:12

die. I. Think

8:14

the parallel here. Is. That the

8:16

tools of our medical science track the

8:18

death of the Buddhist gross body. And.

8:20

Claim it's clinical death. I

8:23

cannot track the subtle body. Roughly

8:25

equivalent to the mind in western thought.

8:28

And. This case, the Nd might happen

8:30

when all the evidence of our

8:32

healthcare system can monitor is flatlined.

8:35

The. Experience of and have the

8:37

heightened consciousness experiences they report.

8:40

Because. The subtle body or mind.

8:42

Is still alive. Next.

8:45

Section is titled special Note.

8:48

Many. Qualified professionals claim the events

8:51

during M Nd. he proved life

8:53

after death. Is not

8:55

my purpose in this book to agree or

8:57

disagree? I'm. Acting as an

8:59

investigative reporter on i'm Not Medical

9:02

Expert. You. Can make up your

9:04

mind after you finish reading this book. Remember

9:07

Francis Bacon said. If

9:09

a man begins with certainties, he shall

9:11

and with doubts. But. If he

9:13

begins with doubts, he will end with

9:15

certainties. We. May have been

9:18

a be optimistic about certainties. I

9:20

would set for just open to new

9:22

learning. So. Also

9:24

seen Western research on undies shows

9:27

result similar to the Buddhist literature

9:29

on death and dying. And

9:32

the continuation of consciousness in

9:34

various forms. Although.

9:36

Buddhist teachings on the dying process

9:38

are similar to new scientific theories.

9:41

The. Issue of reincarnation still an

9:43

obstacle for most westerners, including

9:46

May. At least

9:48

as I understand it from the points

9:50

of view of my Western cultural conditioning.

9:53

Until. Now we've defined death as

9:55

the termination of the biological functions

9:58

the sustain a living organism. And.

10:00

Consequently, the end of consciousness.

10:03

This. Definition implies: consciousness is an

10:06

Mp phenomenon of our brain.

10:09

It. Says that it arises solely from our

10:11

prime, stitching together all the sense data

10:13

our bodies pick up. However,

10:16

other views are beginning to get saxon

10:18

in Western thinking. As

10:20

I pointed out before, The last

10:22

for of mind, David Chalmers and

10:24

others proposed. consciousness is a non

10:27

reductive primitive, more basic to the

10:29

universe, the matter and energy. Consider

10:32

the settled scientific facts are:

10:35

consciousness consistently creates all reality

10:37

from the subatomic quantum soothes

10:39

of pure probability. Okay,

10:42

so today I was reading from Robert to fill

10:44

up his book. Signals. In

10:47

the noise Encountering the limits

10:49

of materialist science. And. Exploration

10:51
