book--> Elizabeth Kubler-Ross's "On Death and Dying" a VERY difficult book to get through... especially because she's so anti-quantum-woo phenom like NDE's, angles, guides, death-reach/death-stare and afterlife. She actually ridicules "after life fantasies" on p. 40 or so... making this book even MORE difficult to read. It IS, however, IMO, worth reading. It's helping me understand my own so-called "grief"... which is much more than emotional based reaction, now that I'm living through it... it's actually a biophysical L-field and T-field (electromagnetic and quantum-field) withdrawal from my OWN body!!!!... which means that quite literally a PART OF ME DIED with Dorothy's death! ...as is the case in all close-loved-ones' deaths effects on the partners.

It's one hell of thing to go through.

Kubler-Ross's stories, interviews, anecdotes and explanations are useful in a general sense but I can see where her approach completely negates the great anticipation of the new spiritual guides found on youtube/blogs that are oriented toward the latest positive understanding of crossing over to the other side, like Richard Martini's "Flipside" and Nurse Julie's interpretation of the death reach, like dorothy had, of seeing long-passed-away relatives and angel guides.

Having had up-close experience with dorothy's death-bed visions several times, not understanding what she was doing or seeing, but only later through Nurse Julie on youtube, getting a grip on it, I can see how the FLIPSIDE (richard martini's hip term) can be visible to the quantum-based-mind as the organic-brain loses it's antenna like qualities. I frequently review how Dorothy left and wish it could have been easier but console myself with the fact that she KNEW...she KNEW she was on her way... and even had a last minute SURGE of energy with wide eyes tellling me to my face.... "remember!" four times which was fantastic at that moment because she was only able to utter yes or no, one word at a time at that point in her process.

I think part of that surge was her telling me that SHE remembers! as in... "I" remember, "I remember"! ... I SAW them on the other side, I saw my dad, my mom, my dogs... I remember where I'm from now! ... if she could have mustered all those words.

I was completely unprepared to be in the presence of someone dying... so I was in a state of trauma... unable to converse with her, imagine that after 30 years working with her daily. How could I have been so unconversive with her at this point? It must have been ME in a state of some kind of shock FEELING dying with her and unable to talk, just like her. If someone else had been in the room who had EXERIENCE with dying patients, they could have interviewed her.

This is is Kubler-Ross reading comes in handy I think. IF after all these years of being interested in anti-aging, life-extension and cryonics had including being interested in the DYING process, I might have read Kubler-ross in detail earlier and been ready. But. I. Wasn't. Darn. I coulda woulda shoulda. But I didn't.

I wonder how Kubler-Ross died. I wonder if anyone recorded her in an interview as she recorded the dying, as a revolutionary scholarly act in the 1960's that made her world famous? I'll have to look into that.

Edgar Cayce, Donald Hoffman, Alister Crowley, Immanual Swedenborgen, the Kybalion, Thomas Campbell, Nag Hamadi, Doug Matzke, Edward W. Russell, Rupert Sheldrake, Harold S. Burr, and dozens more references I've looked at, including Plato/Socrates, and the Jesus-mythology-based-on-past-gnostic-reasoning... all point to an EASY TRANSITION.

That's what I myself am planning for now... as I "declutter" (they call it-- which is actually EOL planning, a euphemism for get-ready-to-pass-on, rather than "get frozen" which ASSUMED personality and memory are IN the brain-structure... but I no longer believe they are.

As I fall to sleep nightly, I now imagine, like the French thought of sleep as "the little death", "le petite noir" of "dying" so-called. which is "transitioning" or "taking the goggles off" as Hoffman describes. What is curiously fun to me in this new way viewing life and death, is cutting the Bill Falloons, Saul Kents, Dave Pizers, Mark Plus's, Steve Ruddell's, Alcor's and other assorted materialists OUT of my personal immortality. To think that I would have placed my immortality in the hands of the ideas of these guys really makes me laugh now. God would never be so cruel. Still, it was an interesting "trip" for awhile.

Now...

I wait. Sort of.

I'm practicing my death reach & designing my own death-transition-bed. I trained with Dorothy and I have some new ideas on how to make a transition bed... with entertainment center and AI! Shades of suicide-booth-soothsayer from years ago, that guy who ran the van around town to help people transition, what was his name? It'll come to me. I have his DVD movie-based-on-his-life but never watched it. He might have been onto something really.

Having had up-close experience with a loved one going down in the hands of a hospice team, I now believe that smoothing out the transition for the transitioner and their loved ones is the "new cryonics", cryonics having been a very interesting detour from childhood-cult-catholicism through Camus-oriented-existentialism and then hope-in-lifex-anti-aging-cryonics... to the full-experience of quantum-connected-loved-one-dying and finally quantumological afterlife through technological precedent universe that "got us" from the start. Full circle, big detour.
