Death is Not Real

Show Notes

As Vedic meditators we regularly experience evidence of being more than just a physical body.  We can use this to our benefit when it comes to tackling the subject of death, or even tackling death itself; our own or the death of a loved one.

In our twice-daily practice of Vedic Meditation, the connection we experience in The Absolute, the Unified Field of Consciousness, reminds us that we are consciousness having a human experience rather than just a human body experiencing consciousness and thinking.  It’s an important paradigm shift that can transform our view of the world

In this podcast, Thom explains in great detail why “death” is unreal and how we can eliminate the fear of death, through knowledge, experience and practice.

He explains the function of love, the structure of our ‘bodies’ (the physical body is just one of many we have), enlightenment and more.

This is a masterclass in life and death that you will want to return to again and again.
