The Tibetan Book of the Dead
Is about non physical consensus realities
That are thought responsive
It is up to us to empower ourselves
To take command of our state of consciousness
To be in charge of our reality in this life
And in the afterlife as well
We are not victims of death
We are the proactive creator of our reality
We shape and mold the non physical
Through the thought response of the universe that we enter into
We are so much more than our belief systems
Which we have identified with
And so much more capable
Choose a reality that does not have suffering
Nor any atrocities
Why settle for a pale reflection of reality
When the pure realms of the spirit are always present
We manifest with our intention
And can go beyond form and consensus realities
In Tibetan Buddhism
When someone dies monks will chant for three days
Go to the clear light of the void
They are instructing the person
Who is making this great transition of consciousness
To go beyond all form based realities
To go past where all the various millions of consensus realities exist
Because people are relieved and overjoyed to discover
That they really do continue to exist after death
They gladly accept the first non physical reality that they experience
As their new spiritual home
In doing so they have just accepted and adapted to a thought consensus environment
Which is a reflection of spirit
Instead of being the true essence of it
They have merged their consciousness with a non physical reality
Far from their true spiritual home
But most people accept the denser spiritual realities
To guarantee the continuation of their form based existence
Because the environments are familiar and comfortable
They chain themselves to the realms of form and substance
And the cycle of rebirth is assured and maintained
All form is but a reflection of pure spirit
To be an effective spiritual traveler
It is vital to develop a flexibility of consciousness
We are a working army of absolute consciousness
The co workers of God!

We are the creative outward flow of unconditional love
And free to participate in all creation
Our life and opportunities for self expression
Does not end with our personal issues and attachments
Life keeps on unfolding
It is full of significance and meaning
We can make it anything we wish
We are free to decide where to go
Which group of souls to join
And what to do
We are free to visit any part of existence
To team up with a community of kindred spirits
And to engage in inconceivable creative projects
When we reside in our purest form
We are in alignment with the laws of cosmic order and harmony
We then are in accord with the essence of life
With the supreme intelligence of creation
And able to tap into our inner stillness of infinite potential
Completely unattached to the dramas of the world
We begin to appreciate the deeper meaning of reality
Even though we eagerly anticipate what reality has to offer
And welcome all distractions with an open heart
Humans find their identity here
And spread their webs of philosophy religions and beliefs
Some spend many lifetimes unraveling their dreams in order to fulfill them
If you stay too long here
You use up your energetic potential
And become a ghost
No one is coming to rescue you
You need to rely on yourself to know what is real and what is not
In the astral realm
If your attention wanders toward a hovering portal
The temptation to explore other vistas is overwhelming
Entering a tunnel becomes irresistible
Because it is huge and bright
Lined with impressive columns on either side
Peering through the columns
The scenery spreads out infinitely
Many side opening pathways are available
That lead to a staggering diversity of wonder
And you can spend eternity exploring them
You realize who you are
What you have always been from the beginning
And who you always will be
Which is a part of the Whole
You are the restless part that desires to return
Yet lives to seek expression!
