Part of what it details is that people who believe there is nothing after death will essentially experience nothing, like being in stasis, until their higher self retrieves them in reintegrates them into the rest of it's being. People who believe in a certain version of heaven or hell will go there, and not percieve any of the other versions available.
Meanwhile people who have a better understanding of the game will know they can go past that, going to an area akin to the "akashic records" some talk about for better further education, either going on their own or asking to be taken there, and eventually returning to their higher self as well.
Actually there is a more mainstream source of books that gets into this, the Monroe trilogy: Journeys out of the Body, Far Journeys, and Ultimate Journey by Robert Monroe. All three are treated as prerequisites of Matrix V, and may be easier to digest.
If I die and find myself conscious, I'll ask to be taken to Monroe level 27/the Library. It's difficult to really "prove" until going oneself. |
The channeled entity "Seth" from Seth Speaks said something similiar. You see your dreams are real, they exist in the "dream universe" (astral plane). When you die you create a little dream for yourself, if you expect hell you experience a self-inflicted hell or if you are expecting heaven you will experience a blissful dream. Guides enter the dream and explain what is really happening.
If you don't believe in an afterlife then Seth says that your consciousness will black out until you are, well not assimilated into your higher self but you realize your higher self. According to Seth consciousness cannot "die" or at least be forever dead. If you know all this before you die you simply have an OBE until some guides come along.
