聽神談【死亡最終階段會體驗和發生哪些事？】：1/3
在死亡的第三階段，你會與本源(the Essence)融合，在你本體的核心(at the Core of Your Being)體驗到終極實相(Ultimate Reality)。
尼爾：你是指神？
隨便你怎麼稱呼終極實相，有些人叫它本源，有些人叫它阿拉，有些人叫它一切萬有，不管你怎麼叫它都沒關係，都是同樣的東西。
尼爾：如果我認為死後會發生的事情就是立即與神融合呢？我會在死亡的第二階段就體驗到嗎？
是的，你與那些有關的觀念(idea)會在第二階段會被你體驗到，那是因為在死亡的第二階段，你仍然以心智(mind)在運作。
這種體驗可以要多輝煌就有多輝煌，要多快樂就有多快樂，全憑你的想像(imagination)。但之後，在這死亡的最終階段，你會體驗到真正的經驗，而不是你的想像。
摘自《與神談生死》第15章
You will merge with the Essence and begin to experience the Ultimate Reality at the Core of Your Being.
You mean, God?
You may call the Ultimate Reality anything that you wish. Some people call it the Essence. Some people call it Allah. Some people call it the All. It does not matter what you call it, it is the same thing.
Neale: What if what I always thought would happen immediately after my death was that I would be immersed in God? Wouldn't that then be experienced in the second stage of death?
Your IDEA about that would be experienced in the second stage, yes. That is because in the second stage of death, you are still operating from your mind.
This would be as pleasant and as glorious an experience as you could make it, in your imagination. But then, in the final stage of death, you would have the experience as it actually is, not as you have imagined that it would be.
