There are moments in meditation that are so terrifying, it takes all of one's courage not to retreat. Likewise, there are moments of such ecstasy that one is compelled to retreat, even if that means returning to a more mundane state of consciousness. As such, this idea of being given some guidance as to how to navigate the transition beyond the limitations of the body strikes me as having only potential upside with no downside. I imagine I'll give the full text a read at some point. Thanks for the video; very nicely done!
@@JustOneWillingSoul Thank you for sharing such a deep reflection! Meditation indeed brings us face-to-face with both the profound and the challenging aspects of consciousness. The Tibetan Book of the Dead provides such a rich framework for navigating these transitions, offering guidance that can resonate deeply on and off the cushion. If you’re interested, the book link is in the description for further exploration.
I've read a translation of the Tibetan Book of the Dead. This video is very helpful maybe even better than reading the book! Thank you so much, I look forward to more videos!
@@christorres3487 Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! I’m happy to hear that you found the video helpful and that it resonated with you, especially after reading the book. Your support means a lot, more soon!
Timothy Leary & Richard Alpert ("Ram Dass") based their book, "The Psychedelic Experience," on it, because an LSD trip parallels the death, Bardo experiences, & reincarnation, process.
@@Pootycat8359 Great insight! Leary and Alpert’s adaptation really does highlight the parallels between the Bardo states and altered states of consciousness. It’s fascinating how ancient wisdom finds resonance in modern explorations of the mind

@@Analectsofwisdom thank you
The images used are mainly in Himachal, India. I have spent 22-years in these regions and monsatic settings doing research and meditating.

A.i made
A human made the video I assure you
I rather hear the words of the actual book than this abstract interpretation. This video is a waste of time.
