**********************************I) THE DREAM STATE AS A PRACTICE GROUND FOR AFTER-DEATH STATES
Just about everyone has had dreams in which they interact with deceased relatives or friends. In some cases this may simply be the workings of the subconscious mind. In other cases it may actually be that we are communicating with these spirits in dimensions that are available to them and to us in our dreams. There appear to be many similarities between the after-death state and the dream state. In both dimensions the mind forms reality with its thoughts. We have the same powers in our dreams that we have after death. According to Alice Bailey, death is simply an extended sleep in which we wake up in a new body.
«People are apt to forget that every night in the hours of sleep we die to the physical plane and are alive and functioning elsewhere. They forget that they have already achieved facility in leaving the physical body; because they cannot yet bring back into the physical brain consciousness the recollection of that passing out and of the subsequent interval of active living. They fail to relate death and sleep. Death is, after all, only a longer interval in the life of physical plane functioning; one has only «gone aboard» for a longer period. But the process of daily sleep and the process of occasional dying are identical, with the one difference that in sleep the magnetic thread, or current of energy, along which the life force streams, is preserved intact, and constitutes the path of return to the body. In death, this life thread is broken or snapped. When this has happened, the conscious entity cannot return to the dense physical body, and that body, lacking the principle of coherence, then disintegrates.»
Seth not only agrees with Alice Bailey but also goes further to say that we might even be able to practice for after-death states by learning to consciously manipulate our dream reality.
«After-death experiences will not seem so alien, or incomprehensible, if you realize that you encounter similar situations as a normal part of your present existence.
«In sleep and dream states you are involved in the same dimension of existence in which you will have your after-death experiences. You do not remember the most important of these high adventures, and so those you do recall seem to bizarre or chaotic as a rule. This is simply because in your present state of development you are not able to manipulate consciously within more than one environment.
«You do exist consciously in a coherent, purposeful, creative state while the physical body sleeps, however, and you carry on many of the activities that I told you would be encountered after death. You simply turn the main focus of your attention in a different dimension of activity, one in which you have indeed continuously operated.
«Now, as you have memory of your waking life and as you retain a large body of such memory for daily physical encounters, and as this fount of memory provides you with a sense of daily continuity, so also does your dreaming self have an equally large body of memory. As there is continuity to your daily life, so there is continuity in your sleeping life.
«This simple fact is that when you dream you are flying, you often are. In the dream state you operate under the same conditions, more or less, that are native to a consciousness not focused in physical reality. Many of your experiences, therefore, are precisely those you may meet after death. You may speak with dead friends or relatives, revisit the past, greet old classmates, walk down streets that existed fifty years earlier in physical time, travel through space without taking any physical time to do so, be met by guides, be instructed, teach others, perform meaningful work, solve problems, hallucinate.
«In physical life there is a lag between the conception of an idea and its physical construction. In dream reality, this is not so. Therefore, the best way to become acquainted with after-death reality ahead of time, so to speak, is to explore and understand the nature of your own dreaming self. Not very many people want to take the time or energy».
Obviously, such an endeavor would take great time and energy, and a development of conscious awareness in the dream state. Carlos Castanenda’s teacher Don Juan encouraged him to develop conscious awareness in his dreams by remembering to look at his left hand while in the dream.
Such techniques and tricks may be successfully used, so as to bring about the ultimate goal of all spiritual work, to be able to discriminate between the witness and the body and mind which are experiencing the myriad changes of the physical, mental, emotional and dream world.
The individual who wants to be the master of himself, will eventually maintain self-awareness not only in the waking and dream state but even in the deep sleep state. When consciousness is maintained even in the deep sleep state, it is called «samadhi», nirvana or in Christian terms, «ecstatic Divine Ground».
Thus the work we do on developing conscious awareness, in our waking and dream states, is useful not only for the after-death state, but also to the waking state and to our purpose here on earth, which is self-realization.
