I know exactly what I would like to happen after I die and I am prepared to live my life in preparation of that, and to be mistaken if that is wrong.
I was once lured into a reading with a psychic, by a close friend, utterly against my instinct and also at that time my mind was very closed to all things esoteric. The most shocking revelation in that was that I apparently was a Kamikaze pilot in my "previous reincarnation" and that was why I had such a tough tough life this time. Anyway that was many years ago and in idle moments I wondered about those pilots trained to face death, professionally, and apparently from a range of religions and personalities, some were Christian according to certain sources, for example. I thought of those young men talking and drinking and wondering about that doorway, and what was beyond.
The theme became the title of my third stage musical "Kamaikaze Reunion", I found the idea so interesting, that perhaps some of these men made a pact if there was reincarnation or whatever they faced, to find each other again, wherever that doorway of certain death led them. As both my parents fought for Britain in the second world war, it was rather spooky.
And so what I would really like to happen when I die, is to remain stable and conscious in some Tibetan lama kind of way, unperturbed by the apparent experiences whatever they might be, until some new form of contact or life would be there, and then to keep the memory of that journey intact enough to finally be able to share details in some way that not only is well expressed, but that reaches through and touches others. Then again, if it is a long wait, it might pass the time, and if there is nothing, nothing serious is different for me here and now really, just living as well as I can in a challenging world.
Because I did have a Near Death Experience in 1989, I have a map of what happened then, and enough clarity to see the possibility of surviving death in some form. Deep down, this is the only desire of my life. It is not as though I am doing any other great purpose as it is, and meanwhile, I think a certain amount of mild and decent hedonism and a solid approach to health is adequate - whatever the outcome. As for the 72 virgins, I would prefer a deeply lustrous and exquisite range of deeply sensuous and erotic experiences before death, within my flow of ethics and caring and situations.
I am a little surprised to find myself sharing this now. I thought it was rather private, and somehow, well, I don't find it inconsistent with mechanics, on the contrary, it might just be possible to map this mechanically and even describe it in a way that could be approached empirically.
