We have to recognize that spirituality is a legitimate dimension in the psyche. It's a legitimate dimension in the universal scheme of things. It doesn't mean that you are superstitious, that you are in to magical, primitive thinking, if you take spirituality seriously.

Dying before dying has two important consequences: It liberates the individual from the fear of death and influences the actual experience of dying at the time of biological demise.

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

Whether or not we believe in survival of consciousness after death, reincarnation, and karma, it has very serious implications for our behavior.

It is possible to spend one's entire lifetime without ever experiencing the mystical realms or even without being aware of their existence.

The study of consciousness that can extend beyond the body is extremely important for the issue of survival, since it is this part of human personality that would be likely to survive death.

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