I've been deathly afraid of death. It's a pardon the punt. I've been incredibly afraid of death my entire life. It's what was my biggest fear. And the question was always raised, why why are you so afraid of death? And my fear was that that once you die, it's lights out, that's it no more, you have no more consciousness, you don't want to
exist anymore, and that to me was such a scary thought. Well, through the course of these explorations that we've had on the show, through the course of modern medicine and research looking into things, and most importantly through my wife's question, I've learned that there's nothing to fear. And the question that she posed to me was if there is nothing there, you're not going to
know any different. So isn't it nice or just to think that there is something beyond this life life so that you can look forward to and if there is nothing, there's nothing to fear because you won't know the difference. Isn't it better to live your life knowing that there's something else? And it just clicked that absolutely, that's a better way of living because I was living in fear and the ability for me to put that fear behind me has helped me
to realize and open up to the possibility of something else. And then, of course, now that you're having all these research that are finding that sure enough, consciousness does exist beyond brain debt. Everyone thought your brain was was what made consciousness, your brain created consciousness. Now they're finding that's not the case. That even after brain debt, they have measured consciousness beyond it. So it it just has it's if you're looking at it from a pragmatic point
of view. More and more research is pointing to the fact that that we are a lot more than this three dimensional body we inhabit. Then well, for me, I used to I grew up going to Catholic school, and I believed the heaven and you go and there's God and that whole thing. And I still do believe in God. It's a different interpretation of it. But now whereas before I felt like I was going to a different place, now through these conversations, through meditations I've had, through experiences, I feel
like it's going home. I feel like it's going home to this beautiful, energetic, loving network of just happiness and ease and peace and love. Yeah, and to follow up on that, we talked earlier about the fact that we create our own reality on this three dimensional space. If when once we pass, if that veil, that three dimensional veil is no longer there, and we were creators or manifestors here on this lane, how can we not be creators in the afterlife, much stronger than we are now, because we
don't have the limitations of this physical body. So my theory is that when you die, wouldever you think happens, that's what you create. For example, we had someone that came on our show who had a near death experience and when she died. She was raised Catholic, she was very Catholic. Her whole family leading up to her was very religious, and to her,
if you weren't a good person, you went to Hell. And when she died, she had it programmed so much in her mind that if she wasn't a very specific kind of person, she was going to go to hell. Guess what she experienced. She went to hell, and she told us in very vivid detail what was happening while she was there. And then after a while she realized that she was the one who put herself in that hellish place
because that's what she expected to happen. So my thought is that when we die, if you feel that all you're going to do is go into the ground and that's it, well, I'm afraid that might be what happens to you. Though. It's all the more reason to think there's something else beyond this life, because I don't want to be just nothing in the in the earth. H
