Thank you orthodoxymoron. No books yet but one in the making.

I was listening recently to an MD who specialized in near death experiences with children. One comment by one child who died and was later revived was "I was even more real there then I am here." One steps from the physical form into one's mind. Consciousness continues without the body and the mind is non-local, meaning it is not in one's brain.

To illustrate this "fact" one child who had been under water for 18 minutes and took another 45 minutes to get her heart going was technically brain dead. Upon being revived she went on to describe minute details of everything that had occurred during the time she was dead relating conversations the team had and so on. Truly, the brain does not remember because the brain was not even functional. It is the mind, our consciousness, that records everything that occurs whether one is in their body or out of their body.

One of the more interesting tidbits I ran across about the greys was that they think of the human body just as one would think of a ballon. Pop - it's destroyed. Yet the air (one's consciousness) which was inside was not lost. Instead it was released into the atmosphere to join with what? This too is another post for another time. However, what I found to be utterly fascinating is how memory is not stored in the brain... the brain is the hardware of a computer (one's physical being) - the mind the software (ones spiritual being).

I will share this.. once someone has stepped out and experienced conscious awareness outside of the physical body - one has the ability to tap into Universal Mind - all knowingness, just by applying intention in the correct manner.
