   well that is in this system of things --- life just breaks the connections   
   here to the inside - your inner sight, sound, feel, etc that you have in the   
   dreamtime - well they open up a BIG deal with NDEs and death I have to   
   alleged from my experience.  Consciousness on the other side needs no brain   
   to do its thing - as it is a light being consciousness and lives in the   
   light - and is immmortal as the light - also hence they live in the light -   
   time stops ... I call it the "Crack in Time" it is part of what I call "The   
   Other" which is in front of you 24 hours a day and never stops ... that   
   circle of light you consciously see through with life and dreams and with   
   NDEs for that matter ... some people call it God ... I just call it "The   
   Other" as it makes more sense for me to understand it that way right now at   
   this point in my life ...   
      
   All my best ... sumbuddie
