Chapter 13. Methods for Positively Changing Your Life Through Changing Your Mindset As you already understand, all the ideas proposed in this book are simple and understandable. Many of them, most likely, were familiar to you before, but, probably, as in my case, it would not hurt to think about them some more

Chapter 6 The dying crisis and its accompaniment If you want to endure life, prepare for death. Z.

Therapy during Dying For a professional helping a family cope with death, it is important to know the structure of the family, the functional role of the dying person in the family and general level life adaptation. Trying to view all deaths with the same lens can lead to misses.

6.4.1. Groups of war veterans and their personal changes Post-battle personal changes of combatants play a significant role in the process of their adaptation to the conditions of peaceful life. Long-term research by J. F. Borus (1970–1980) allowed the author to identify three types of reactions:

Personal changes Be the change you want to see in the world. Gandhi1 It’s not just organizations that are undergoing constant change. We ourselves, our body, our thoughts, habits and beliefs are also in constant movement. Most changes occur evolutionarily, for us practically

Changes in the growth phase The company has passed the formation phase. The business model is more or less established. The number of working employees began to increase. A basis is being formed organizational structure. The division of labor occurs more clearly and specialization increases. Communications

Near-Death Visitations The following examples describe the near-death experiences of two children, in which each of them faced the question of life and death in the presence and assistance of amazing beings who assured the children that they had a choice about life in this life.

From the stories of people who have their own experience of clinical death, one can learn that they felt the separation of their inner essence from their body. Being in this state, outside the body, they were able to see themselves as if from the outside. At the same time, there was a feeling of amazing lightness and soaring over the insensitive body, which, apparently, the soul left for that short period of time.

After suffering a condition, clinical death, people usually begin to think about what awaits them after leaving this world and whether they managed to do everything in this life? A more significant question returns: what is the purpose of a person who gets the opportunity to find himself in this world?

People's experience

Many who have been in a state between life and death, after returning to this world, gain faith in the Almighty. The daily bustle fades into the background, and service to the creator takes on a dominant role and comes to the fore. Great truths become comprehensible even to those who, before this event, considered themselves a convinced atheist.
Miracles occur not only in rethinking one’s role in this world, but also in a series of events that become understandable without external explanation. The interpretation of the surrounding world turns into a different perception. What was rejected due to prejudices and incorrect interpretations acquires the true essence, given at the discretion of the creator, and not the human representation of the material world, as if given to all of us in sensations.

The experience of events occurring in the life of an ordinary mortal and one who has been tested by a transition to another reality undergoes a radical qualitative reassessment. The gift of insight can even be called the state into which a person passes, having acquired a number of hitherto unattainable extrasensory abilities. Sensitivity, in many ways, in such a person is transformed into a combination with other equally important universal values.

Despite the fact that after what happened, returning from the world of ghosts, a person’s behavior becomes somewhat strange to those around him, this does not prevent him from learning the truth. Everyone who has had the experience of clinical death is transformed spiritually. Having experienced a difficult physical and high-quality spiritual test, someone perceives this event as almost divine providence, while for others it seems like a normal phenomenon. When a person becomes so entangled in his delusions that there is only one way out. But the Almighty does not take the soul, but returns it to rethink its role in the world where a person needs to fulfill the prescribed role. A person begins to realize more and look at the same things and events from a completely different perspective.

White light or Hell

Is it only the “light at the end of the tunnel” that people who experience clinical death see, or are there those who have witnessed hell?

People who have ever been in the next world have their own story about it. The most interesting thing is that all their stories coincided, regardless of the intellectual development and religious faith of each of these people. Unfortunately, there are cases when there, in the other world, a person finds himself in a place that since ancient times researchers have called hell.

What is hell like? We can get information about this phenomenon from a source called the Acts of Thomas. In this book, the sinner shares with us her impressions of this place where she once visited. Suddenly she found herself on the ground, the surface of which was dotted with depressions that exuded poison. But the woman was not alone, there was a terrible creature next to her. In each of the depressions she was able to see a flame that strongly resembled a hurricane. Inside him, making chilling screams, many souls were spinning, unable to get out of this hurricane. There were the souls of those people who, during their lifetime, entered into secret connection together. In another hollow, in the mud, were those who had left their husbands and wives for the sake of others. And finally, in the third place there were souls whose body parts were suspended. The creature accompanying the woman said that the severity of the punishment directly depends on the sin. People who lied and insulted others during earthly life were hanged by their tongues. Those who stole and did not help anyone, but preferred to live only for their own benefit, were hanged by the hands. Well, those who tried to achieve their goal by dishonest means were hung by their feet.

After the woman saw all this, she was led to a cave, the smell of which was saturated with stench. There were people here who tried to get out of this place and breathe air, but all their attempts were unsuccessful. The creatures guarding the cave wanted the woman to carry out this punishment, however, her guide did not allow this, saying that the sinner was in hell temporarily. After the woman returned to reality, she promised herself to radically change her life so as to never go to hell again.

When we come across such stories, we immediately get the feeling that this is just fiction. After all, this doesn’t happen! But besides the story of this woman, there are many others in the world that make us think that there is a place in the world that is the embodiment of evil itself, and where people are subjected to terrible torture. For a long time, a scientist named Moritz S. Rawlings did not believe in these stories and considered them absurd. However, one day an event occurred in his practice that radically changed his whole life. After this incident, the doctor began studying people who had ever experienced clinical death.

One day, a patient with a heart problem who was being treated by him suddenly fell.

At that very moment it became known that the man’s heart had stopped. The doctor and his medical team did their best to bring the man back to life. As soon as the doctor finished the massage chest, the patient’s heart immediately stopped. His face was distorted by a grimace of pain, fear, despair and horror, and his body was in convulsions. He shouted that he could not be in this place and needed to be urgently returned from there. Not knowing what to do, he began to pray to God. To ease the man’s suffering and at least somehow help him, Moritz also began to read a prayer. After some time the situation improved.

After this, Rawlings tried to talk to this man about what happened to him, but the patient could not remember anything. It was as if someone had deliberately removed all the memories from his head. The only thing he remembered was his mother. It subsequently became known that she died when her son was just a baby. And despite the fact that the man had never seen his mother alive in his life, he recognized her in one of the photos left after her death. Having experienced clinical death, the man decided to reconsider his views on life and began to regularly attend church.

Throughout Rawlings's work, other similar cases occurred in his life. He treated one girl who decided to commit suicide because of poor grades in school. Doctors tried to rehabilitate her in every possible way. Only for a moment did the girl come to her senses and beg to save her. In her unconsciousness, she screamed something about demons that did not allow her to escape. As in the previous case, after this the girl did not remember anything. But what happened to her left a deep imprint on her life, and subsequently she connected her life with religious activities.

Often people who have visited the other world talk about meetings with the dead and how they visited an unknown world. But almost no one ever talks about their death as the most terrible and sophisticated torture. Researchers believe that it is possible that people who have experienced clinical death remember everything that happened to them during the “journey to hell,” but these memories are stored in the depths of the subconscious, which they are not even aware of.

Abilities after clinical death

Abilities after clinical death can manifest themselves in different ways. And one of them is usually called the “sixth sense” or intuition, which accurately and very quickly helps to find the right solution in a difficult situation. What is noteworthy is that the individual does not make any conscious reasoning, does not include logic, but listens only to his feelings.

Many people who have experienced clinical death, in their words, develop abnormal abilities:

• a person may completely stop sleeping and feel normal, while the body stops aging;
• super intuition and even extrasensory abilities may appear;
• not very strong physical abilities may appear;
• in some cases, a person can return with knowledge of all the languages ​​of the planet, including those that have long “sunk into oblivion”;
• sometimes a person can acquire deep knowledge about the universe;
• but serious consequences for human health can also arise.

In addition to this, people after clinical death, in most cases, change a lot: they often become detached, their attitude towards their loved ones changes. Often they have to get used to the previously familiar area, home and relatives again.

The abilities of the notorious Wolf Messing were discovered after he experienced clinical death. At the age of eleven, he fainted on the street from hunger. At the hospital, they found no signs of life in him and sent him to the morgue. There, the trainee noticed that the boy’s body was different from ordinary corpses in some ways and saved him. After this, Wolf Messing awakened to strong intuition and other abilities.

Intuition is one of the types of thought processes, experts say, in which everything happens unconsciously and only the result of this process is realized. But there is another hypothesis that when using intuition, a person draws information directly from the “general information field.”

This is a real lifesaver, both personally and professionally. People with increased intuition suffer less from various neuroses and, as a result, are less susceptible to circulatory and nervous system. Not to mention the low injury rate. Since it allows you to instantly determine the sincerity of your interlocutor, his internal experiences, other “sharp corners” and dangerous life situations, including clinical death.

Obviously, not all people have strong intuition; there is data according to which their number is no more than 3%. It is believed that intuition is well developed in creative people, but sometimes it can awaken at some turning points in life, for example, the birth of a child or a state of falling in love. But this can happen not only after positive events, but often also after various injuries and stressful situations, such as clinical death.
What is this connected with? As you know, our brain is divided into 2 hemispheres. The right side of the body is subordinate to the left hemisphere, and left-hand side- the right hemisphere (for left-handed people - vice versa). Left hemisphere is responsible for logic and analysis, and the right is responsible for emotions and affects the depth of perception of music and graphic images. As someone noted, the right hemisphere is an artist, and the left hemisphere is a scientist. In normal Everyday life people use the left hemisphere more, but when an injury, serious illness or some other shock occurs, logic can turn off and the right hemisphere becomes dominant.

A reasonable question arises: what is the reason for this “distinction in rights”, and not vice versa? Obviously, one of the factors is definitely that our education is maximally oriented towards the development of the left hemisphere. Art and music disciplines occupy far from the most important place among other subjects, the study of which takes the “lion’s share” of school hours. Remember that we are used to performing all basic actions with our right hand, and, naturally, this helps better development left (logical) hemisphere. Perhaps if education system was aimed at developing the right (creative) hemisphere, then many historical decisions would have been made with less negative consequences for people's lives.

Consequences of clinical death

We know of numerous cases of clinical death experienced by people from all over the world. From the stories of these people, it becomes known that they experienced extraordinary states of “leaving” and subsequent “return”. Some of those who have experienced clinical death are unable to remember anything on their own, and their memories can only be revived by immersion in a trance. In any case, death leaves an indelible imprint on the consciousness of every individual.

From the memories of people who experienced clinical death, it is possible to glean quite interesting information. Most often, people behave withdrawn after experiencing such a difficult test in their lives. At the same time, someone falls into a prolonged depression, and someone even behaves aggressively when they try to ask him about the details of his experience. In a certain sense, every person experiences obvious discomfort when immersed in memories of what happened.

The girl I met suffered clinical death twice. What could be immediately stated from her mental state, so it was a clear loss of cheerfulness, rigidity and coldness in communication with others could be traced. We were simply separated by a kind of black emptiness, but this did not reflect her character. She simply represented, after what she had endured, only some kind of bodily shell, tangible to the eye.

The most striking thing lies in the fact that similar sensations from communicating with those who have experienced clinical death have a complex and very strange, little-understood nature. The respondents themselves, who “have been to the next world,” are reluctant to talk about the fact that the experience they lived through forever changed their attitude to the perception of life. And the change was most likely for the worse.

One girl said that she remembers everything that happened and in almost all the smallest details, but she still cannot fully understand what actually happened. Only one thing she admits is that something has “broken” inside. Having been in post-traumatic depression for eight years, she has to hide this condition from others. Left alone, she is overcome by such a depressing state that she even has thoughts of suicide.

The memory of the state she had to be in drags on to such an extent that she is overcome by regret that she was brought back to life. But, the realization comes that life goes on and tomorrow you will go back to work, having slapped yourself in the face and driving away extraneous thoughts, you have to live with it...

Trying to find compassion among her friends, she tried to share her impressions and experiences, but nothing worked, those around her did not understand or did not even try to understand...

She tried to write about her experiences, but the poems she read shocked her parents, because they discovered only suicidal impulses in these creative impulses. The search in life for something pleasant and capable of keeping her in this world turned out to be so little that she is overcome by regret for the mistake that the doctors made, bringing her back to life, contrary, perhaps, to her will and desires.

People who have experienced clinical death are truly transformed, and, after the experience, they relate to everything around them completely differently. People close to them become distant and alien. At home, you have to adapt again to a hitherto familiar and familiar environment. In the frank confessions of the girl who suffered clinical death, the “matrix” was mentioned. In her mind, the impression remained that “there” there is no this former familiar reality. Only you and no sensations or thoughts, and you can easily choose and give preference to arbitrary reality.

It’s as good there as at home, but here it turns out that something is not at all like you want to go back, they just “called” here and were forcibly returned. A fivefold return, by the grace of doctors and their efforts, when the first death was an artifact sufficient to overcome the “point of no return.” However, returning to a different world than the one she left, this is what the reality of the previous world turned into, which she had to master anew, as if reborn.

For some, returning to a completely different reality does not break them to such an extent that they still have the strength to fight to adapt to an alien world. As psychiatrist Vinogradov noted, many who have returned from oblivion begin to look at their essence in this world from the position of an outside observer, and continue to live like robots or zombies. They try to copy their behavior from those around them, because it is so accepted, but they do not experience the same feelings either from laughter or from crying, both from those around them and from their own, forcefully squeezed out or simulated emotions. Compassion completely leaves them.

Such critical transformations do not necessarily occur with those returning from clinical death, as R. Moody said in his own publication “Life after Life.” People are re-evaluating their views on the world, strive to comprehend deeper truths and focus more on the spiritual perception of the world.

One thing is certain: clinical death, as a transition to another reality, divides life into periods: “before” and “after”. It is very difficult, if possible, to evaluate this unambiguously as a positive or negative impact that a person is exposed to after returning and what impact such an event has on the psyche. It requires comprehension and a detailed study of what is happening to a person and what, not yet explored, possibilities open up for him in comprehension. And yet, they say more about the fact that a person who has undergone a brief near-death adventure returns in spiritual renewal and insight, with such consequences of clinical death that are incomprehensible to those around him. For everyone who has not experienced this, this state is a paranormal phenomenon and pure fantasy without any fiction.

Clinical death, unlike coma, is not only a loss of consciousness, but also cardiac arrest and cessation of breathing. In a coma, the patient is unconscious, but he is able to breathe, and his cardiac activity continues.

What happens at the moment of clinical death

During the period of clinical death, the Higher Powers pronounce a verdict on whether to prolong a person’s life or let him die. If he is given a second chance, he comes back to life. If not, he dies. This interval, when the decision has not yet been made, is clinical death, during which the heart stops and the mechanism for the soul to leave the body is triggered. Whether the soul returns to the body does not depend on the medical care, but from the verdict of the Higher Powers.

The duration of clinical death is usually 3-5 minutes, but in some cases it can be up to half an hour. It is generally accepted that the soul at these moments flies through a bright tunnel, often lives entire lives, communicates with other souls and can even go to hell. It happens that the soul’s leaving the mortal body lasts much longer.

At the moment of clinical death, a person sometimes experiences involuntary convulsions. At these moments, the invisible substance leaves its earthly abode. This often happens very quickly, then it is believed that the deceased person had a kind and sinless soul.

The ethereal substance seems to be directed upward to seep out through a special hole that is located at the back of the head. The soul and body are separated, but for a certain time they are connected by an energy thread. People who experienced clinical death all reported this connection. After some time, the thread breaks, and the body’s cells gradually die, which is irreversible.

Esotericists regard clinical death as a rather positive phenomenon. In their opinion, the separation of the soul from the body is a common phenomenon, because the soul and body are different objects. The soul has consciousness regardless of whether a person's brain functions.

After the connection between body and soul is terminated, the soul transforms into a clot of energy and sees its life in retrospect: from the last moment to birth. In this regard, the soul is subjected to analysis - all its actions (by representatives of Karma) committed during its life are “weighed”.

Meanwhile, loved ones crying over the deceased distract the soul from reflection, which, according to esotericists, has a negative effect.

What do those who experienced this phenomenon remember?

Experts agree that not many people who stood in the middle of the path from life to death can return and tell what happened to them, what they experienced there.

Some people can remember everything in detail. For others, only certain fragments of the Supreme Court are reflected in their memory; they say that their whole life flashed before them in a split second. Some people don’t remember anything at all.

According to psychologist E. Kübler-Ross, who specializes in patients who had clinical death, only 10% of respondents remembered what happened and could report what happened. For other specialists, this figure is about 15-35%.

But be that as it may, after experiencing clinical death, anyone begins to perceive this life differently. People understand that life after death exists, they cease to be afraid of death, and acquire many good qualities. This is the purpose of clinical death: it is a very serious means used by Higher Powers to guide a person along the right path.

In everyday life, angels communicate with humans through their inner voice. But when he doesn’t want to listen to this voice, then they can organize his own meeting with himself.

The most famous scientist who studied the features of clinical death is Roland Moody. He was closest to realizing those phenomena that are evidence of the existence of life after death.

Moody was the first to seriously claim the existence of an afterlife. He actively promoted the idea of ​​the “other world” from which patients returned after clinical death. The scientist published the book “Life after Death,” which became a bestseller in many countries; this work made Moody famous. He also researched another no less interesting question- travel to past incarnations.

The scientist interviewed more than one and a half thousand people and carefully analyzed their stories. As a result, Moody pointed out 11 main aspects of what a person feels and realizes when he finds himself on the very edge.

Having analyzed the testimony of people who experienced clinical death, he established the most common facts about what a person sees in such a situation: sometimes he sees himself from the outside, rushes along a corridor or tunnel, at the end of which he sees light, sees departed loved ones, remembers the most important moments of life, feels freedom and does not want to go back.

At the same time, some doctors believe that such experiences are a kind of hallucinations caused by disturbances in brain activity at the stage of dying: for example, a tunnel with light is nothing more than a consequence of deteriorating blood flow and visual impairment.

After Moody among scientists, interest in issues of clinical death was rapidly increasing. Clinical death is “accepted” by many scientists who do not deny “life after death.”

For example, one of the Russian research institutes has been studying and trying to answer the question for many years: what is clinical death? Domestic experts organized the following experiment: while a person was alive, they were weighed on ultra-precise scales. When a person was in a state of clinical death, his body weight decreased by 21 grams. Based on this, scientists came to the conclusion that the soul has such weight.

Clinical death. How many myths, speculations and mysterious stories are associated with this phenomenon! Thousands of seemingly incredible stories for the average person can be found on the vastness of the World Wide Web.

But people in all corners globe keep asking questions:

• What happens to the Soul when the body finds itself in a borderline state, between life and death?

• What is the Soul doing at a time when the human body experiences cardiac arrest, its main engine?

• Why do some people experience clinical death and come back to life, while the bodies of others must be buried forever?

What life becomes after clinical death

These and many other aspects related to the Soul's travels outside physical body, will be covered in this article. Perhaps this particular story will interest you and make you look differently at the process of living every moment of your current life.

Maris Dreshmanis , head of the Institute of Reincarnation, interviewed Roman Matveev. Roman experienced clinical death more than 20 years ago, at the age of 14.

Novel : « I'll try to convey how it happened. In our society, people are programmed. They explain to him who he is, what life is, what is right and what is wrong, they explain to him what is needed and what is not needed.

While in reality a person is much more. The nature of the Soul is universal. I will tell you about this now, as far as possible.».

Awakening the Soul

• How does the Soul perceive its temporary refuge, human body?

• How does the Soul leave the body?

• Does the Soul act independently or is it subject to a specific plan?

Novel: « When the Soul leaves the body, it would be more correct to say, the body is perceived as a kind of layer of cells and vibrations. Visually, it looks like some kind of nucleoli, some kind of rods.

They constantly vibrate and are surrounded by a greenish color. When you go beyond these vibrations, you see your body; the feeling that you are starting to rise somewhere, that you are being pulled somewhere.

When we live on Earth, gravity acts on us, it’s the same there, only you are pulled upward».

It turns out that our bodies are perceived by the Soul as a kind of energetic substance, and when the Soul leaves the body, it is already subject to other forces, the forces of its world, the World of Souls.

Novel: « I rose higher and higher... I was pulled into some kind of space... When the panorama cleared, I discovered next to me a huge shapeless living creature that called itself WE.

It's similar to how cosmic consciousness is portrayed in science fiction. I started asking questions, they told me: “We’ll decide”».

The soul, leaving the bodily shell, takes with it all the experience accumulated over the period of life, with all human emotions, both positive and negative.

To return the Soul to its pristine state, it is placed in the so-called “purgatory”, where it remains as long as it needs to remember itself.

Roman also visited a place with which people have many religious fears.

Novel: « This is a place where there are very, very many Souls who think that they are people, but have lost their body. Imagine a fire in a movie theater.

At some point, this space turns into a seething ocean, filled with all kinds of emotions: regret, pain, despair, horror...

You stay there until you transform into a life form that can be transformed into anything. You don't think anything, you don't feel anything, you just realize that you exist, that's all ».

Return to Earth

Only after Purgatory can the Spirit be incarnated again. Likewise, the renewed Soul of Roman experienced new incarnations. He remembers being a stone, a large boulder, experiencing a peace so deep that it is difficult to imagine.

Roman vibrated in one flow with all the stones in the Universe. Then his Soul was embodied in plants, flowers and simple organisms. Roman felt the sun penetrate him with a stream of blissful light. He was nourished by the earth with vital forces coming from below.

Each incarnation has as its goal obtaining a certain experience. In each of its forms, the Soul goes through exactly the school that is important for its development at this stage.

The novel compares this process to an airplane controlled by a pilot. The soul is a pilot; it is not the entire structure in which it is embodied. The soul is simply connected to it for a while.

But the more incarnations Roman’s Soul experienced, the more he remembered his life on Earth, the more he wanted to return to his bodily shell.

Novel: « Still getting stronger I remembered that part of myself embodied here and now. I began to insist that I needed to return to that life, to that time. At some point we arrived here. We traveled around Europe...

He (Universal Mind - E.K.) showed me how people destroy the earth, the nature of which they are a part. And he asked me, is this really worth incarnating for, for self-destruction?

I tried to answer him that we have deep potential, that we can interact more harmoniously with this world, we can be in love, in joy, discover new levels, new horizons in ourselves, become more perfect, open».

After all, the key to our well-being lies in ourselves! It is given to us by our nature, and we sometimes try to ignore it, destroying ourselves and nature, which supports life in us and allows us to develop and of which we ourselves are a part.

After all, a person is able to perceive information from the world around him at different levels. We nourish ourselves not only at the level of food, but also at the level of air, plants and animals.

Novel: « They met me halfway. I insisted that I be allowed to return exactly to my time, exactly at the time when I left my body. The same picture was repeated: Earth, mainland, city, residential area, house, window, apartment.

At first it was difficult for me. I looked at myself and didn’t know what to do... I sat on my lap, became sad, and was pulled back in».

People, listen to yourselves!

Gradually, Roman came to his senses and began to lead the life of an ordinary person. But the unusual events that began to happen to him in last years, made him remember again the amazing journey of his Soul many years ago.

He again thought about life, about death and about the huge world that awaits us between incarnations. It was these thoughts that served Roman as an incentive for his self-realization.

He graduated and is now trying to realize himself, listening to his intuition, to his inner world.

Novel: « A person places too much emphasis on the mind, perceiving the space around him through it. But thinking does not reflect the truth. It shows reality in some separate fragment.

Most people, fixated on this form of perception, become separated even from themselves.

Listen to yourself more. These feelings, these experiences inside have a very important life basis, they are never in vain.

The big mistake is that people live at the level of programs manifested in the mentality. This separates us from the nature that is manifested in us ».

The difference between the Soul that comes into incarnation and the one that leaves the human body after its death lies in the experiences that it experienced during life.

The more responsibly and consciously we treat every moment we live, the further our Soul moves on its path to perfection, the better the lessons it comes to Earth to learn.
