I very rarely listen to videos preferring the written word but I listened to every moment of this one. That may have been (in part) because Peter Fenwick is very easy to listen to (enjoyable even) and isn't in any way trying to force his views on people.
I found the talk fascinating and it is pretty much how I have always envisaged death myself (merging with the universe). I very much liked the emphasis he put on the letting go of all material possessions, relationships and of course ourselves as death starts to call, I'll remember to do that I hope.
I've experienced the feeling of someone dropping in to say goodbye to me (spiritually) a few times as they were dying or had just died and wondered if that would be mentioned (he mentioned it at around the 3/4 mark of the talk).
He also mentions the different things people see as they are in the process of dying and puts it down to cultural differences (some see angels, others don't but do see people visiting them spiritually, some see a tunnel and a light, others see a body of water and know they have to cross it) and that could give the more cynical among us reason to think it's all rubbish and that we are all programmed via religion or the stories told within our cultures. The brain is still alive until death occurs though so it is still processing things and of course it will come up with whatever 'data' has been entered into it.
I liked the way he described consciousness as being outside the brain but that the brain processes it, that made sense to me.
I loved it.
Working out OK so far, LOL.
