hey you guys I too have discovered a baseless fear operating of our afterlife, actually, it runs rampant!  below is a link to Letters of a Living/Dead Man who can describe some of the states of consciousness existent on the other side.

When I first read this e-book I was astounded at the information available about our afterlife. Also all the chapters are there and free to download. But I was astounded in another way as well. This fellow, David, has a style of writing so similar to DP, my guide, that it's almost frightening. anyhoo, aside from that Dave I think you would like to read it as it supports what Doc is trying to bring forth.
when you get done reading that, lol, scuse me, I know you are a learned man already, just trying to help out in my small way. Here's another man by the name of Cozzolini; his website is at: http://www.skyhero.com/toc.htm
below is a teaser:
The Transpersonal Realm: Revealing! A map of the territory! The most complete explanation of the area beyond our physical senses ever presented.

States of Awareness: Discover the 'tools of awareness' that are available now! The transpersonal realm has never been hidden from us. With the slightest shift of awareness, we are there.

I think you would like Bill Cozzolini's description of the 7 layers of consciousness operating out there. I've heard you talk about numbers before Dave and especially the number 7. is why you might resonate to Bill's material and study.

well, salut, wish I could stay and chat..what a wonderful thread this is!
