Oh my god, we've jumped into the future!
I loved listening to After Life. I wonder if any of your crew checked out The American Book of the Dead by E.J. Gold. AOBTD is in the similar tone of the Bardo Thodol (The Liberation Through Hearing During the Intermediate State) aka Tibetan Book of the Dead and The Psychedelic Experience: A Manual Based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead.
I recommend these books for further insight into the “after life” (which is not separate from this place here and now. The sacrament/entheogen/oneirogen Salvia divinorum is another safe way to gain/recover insight into said experience, I’d recommend reading The Salvia divinorum User’s Guide http://www.sagewisdom.org/usersguide.html to ensure safety and optimal results if you use this method.
Thanks for your wonderful episodes, keep up the Great Work :)
