Consciousness does not just passively reflect the objective material world; it plays an active role in creating reality itself.

The experiences associated with death were seen as visits to important dimensions of reality that deserved to be experienced, studied, and carefully mapped.

Coming to terms with the fear of death is conducive to healing, positive personality transformation, and consciousness evolution.

An important consequence of freeing oneself from the fear of death is a radical opening to spirituality of a universal and non-denominational type.

Spiritual intelligence is the capacity to conduct our life in such a way that it reflects deep philosophical and metaphysical understanding of reality and of ourselves discovered through personal experience during systematic spiritual pursuit.

There is an urgent need for a radical revision of our current concepts of the nature of consciousness and its relationship to matter and the brain.

If consciousness can function independently of the body during one's lifetime, it could be able to do the same after death.
