聽神談【死亡後立即會體驗和發生的事】
在第一階段，在你死亡的那一刻，你將立刻經驗到生命仍在繼續著。
這對每個人都一樣。雖然當你意識到你與自己的身體不在一起，
而是分開了的時候，可能會有短暫的失去方位和迷惑感。
很快你就會發現雖然你已經「死」了，但你的生命並沒有結束。
這時候，也許是第一次，你就會完全明白並體驗到，你不是你的身體，
身體是個你可以擁有的東西，卻不是你所「是」的東西。
立刻，你將進入你死亡的第二階段。
摘自《與神談生死》第14章
In stage one, at the moment of your death, you will instantly experience that life has gone on. This will be the same for everyone. There could be a brief period of disorientation, as you come to realize that you are not with your body, but, instead, are now separate from it.
Soon you will come to understand that while you have "died," you have not ended your life. It is in this moment that you will realize and experience fully, perhaps for the first time, that you are not your body; that a body is something you can have, but not something you are. Immediately, you will move into stage two of your death.
