Tell me what your life was like before you died.

It happened in 1981 I was in love with a beautiful woman. Her name is Mary Fran, and she and her son, Nolan, who just turned seven, had spent a day out sailing on Lake Washington, southern Minnesota, and on the way home, she attempted to make a left hand turn onto County Road, looked into the setting sun and didn't see oncoming car. That car hit her right in the driver's side door and killed Mary Fran instantly, and Nolan had a really serious head wound, and they wound up taking him to Mayo in Rochester, Minnesota. So he had some of the best care in the world, and they really did a lovely job with him. And there he took six days to make his final transition. That's important, because Mary Fran was one of nine children, and so in the intervening time between the car accident and when Nolan left his physical body for the last time, there was a chance for all of these relatives to show up. I mean, we're talking brothers and sisters and uncles and aunts, grandparents friends, other kind of cousins, family members, and that's just not her side. And we got all my side of the family was there too, and it just meant there were a lot of people that had taken over the waiting room as we waited through that final period during that six days because there were so many of us, what we did is we divvied the time up into two hour slots, and we went into and were with Nolan, and my particular slot happened to be from three in the morning till five in the morning on the sixth day after the accident, I was there with Mary Frans older sister, Jan, and the two of us spent time with Nolan. We we read him stories, we told him about who was there and what was going on. When you have that many people, it becomes really quite funny. I mean, the waiting room was just packed with people, and the evening before, the young man in the group had gone foraging or cushions that they swiped from every couch they could find in the Mayo Clinic, and brought him into the waiting room, and they were sleeping on the floors and on the chairs. It was just this wild mix of people trying to get comfortable while they were holding vigil for Nolan. Well, it got to be about 445 in the morning. About 15 minutes before the end of our shift was up, and Janny, who was a trained nurse, went down to take a look at his chart, and she was looking at his chart, and then was looking at the monitors that were surrounding his bed, and she just shook her head at me and held out her hand and said, Scott, it's time. So we grabbed a couple of chairs, we sat by Nolan's head, and we said our goodbyes, which meant that we had a chance to tell him that he had been a very brave young man and that he had been fighting for six days to stay with us all and to be with us, but it was clear that his body was giving out, and so Jae said to him that if his mother should come to pick him up. Remember, she died six days before the scene of the accident, that if Mary Fran was coming to pick him up, that it was okay for no one to go with her, and that that would be a good thing, and he shouldn't feel guilty because he had been such a brave, tenacious boy trying to stay with us, but if Mary Fran came, he should go. And we expressed our love for each other, and then we left. Got to be five o'clock Well, it wasn't more than 45 minutes later when the nurse on the floor came in and woke us all up in the waiting room, and all of these people filed into New Orleans hospital room, and that's important, because, for whatever reason, I wound up being at the tail end of this group. So when I walked in, it was already about four people feet around, surrounding the bed, as there were so many of us. And so I wound up just sitting on the window ledge next to Mary Frans youngest brother, Willie, and there we just waited. And when you're holding vigil, at least in Nolan's case, it was a very gentle process that his heart was just slowing down and the beats were becoming less and less vibrant until it just flat lined in there. Said ominous tone that and when Nolan flatlined, what I witnessed was Mary Fran coming across the veil and scooping up Nolan out of his physical body. And they had this extraordinary reunion, as you can only imagine, between a mother and child. And somehow I got to participate in that. I'm just sitting there on the window ledge, but yet I am there and feeling the emotional exchange between the two of them. And then to my surprise, what happened was then the two of them turned to me, and they embraced me, and then the three of us went to light, and once in the light, it was extraordinary. It was this exquisite place where you realize instantly that the universe is love and that you are entering into this, this place of profound love and acceptance. There's no judgment, but rather, you begin to realize that you are an integral part of the love of the universe. And then the three of us, Mary, Fran Nolan and I, had a chance to say our goodbyes, and we got to express our love for one another. We got to say how much we cared for each other, and then we had a chance just to be with one another, as in this really extraordinary place. And then at some point, it felt like it was finished. The two of them then turned and left and went further into the light, and I came back into my physical body. So what happened was that I was with Mary Fran and Nolan in the light, and yet in my physical body. And I remember I'm sitting on a window sill, and right next to me here is Willie, and we're touching shoulders, and I am also fully present in the room. So I have now this split consciousness where I am with Mary, Fran and Nolan and I am in the room. I didn't have a word for it, then it took a long time for me to find it. I call it by location that's that's as good a word as I can find. I had two distinctly separate, fully functioning consciousnesses, and I know this because I'm experiencing this incredible space, this area of love that is first witnessed by me when Nolan gets picked up by his mother, and then when I'm in the light with them, that it's like the love of the universe is inside me and it's trying to break out. And my face was this expression of joy, of ecstasy, of acceptance It was totally inappropriate for the room, and so the only thing that I could think of to do was to take and cover my face with my hands, because if anybody had looked at me, I am positive that they wouldn't have understood what was going on and that my reaction was totally inappropriate for the room, because remember, they had just lost their nephew, their cousin, their friend, whatever. And this is the second loss in six days with Mary Fran and then now Nolan. There's a room filled with grieving people that are hugging each other and looking for consolation in each other's presence, and I couldn't do that right then, so I had my hands over my face, and then when my non physical body came back to my physical body, I could regain my composure. I could take my hands down, and I could be with the other grieving relatives in the room. I was fully present in the room. We know something about that, that transition. We know that there has to be a heart connection between the individual who's going to have a shared death experience. In this case, that was Nolan and, you know, just kind of as a side note, Mary Fran was a single mom. The birth father had disavowed any knowledge of his actions, and so was never present in their lives. And so as a result, Mary Fran chose not to tell Nolan who is biological father. And so when I came along and we are developing this nice relationship. Mary Bran and I, and I'm starting to begin to bond with Nolan. I'm a surrogate dad, and as a result, we had a really special connection. And when he left his physical body, he sent out that invitation. He invited me to come along. Now it wasn't. Words. It just happened I had to be in a receptive state. And I had about 45 minutes of watching, you know, the heart monitor. There's not a lot to do there, so you're kind of relaxed. You're in a meditative state just watching this heart monitor and wondering when it's going to go silent. What I discovered was how I thought the world worked. Eventually, I found the Monroe Institute that uses binaural beats to help you focus and hold expanded states of awareness, and it allowed me the time to learn what those states of awareness are, and it gave me the time in state so that I knew how to navigate the non physical universe, and that opened up all all the doors that I ever wanted. I was able to touch that space again. Yes, I was able to reconnect with Mary Brandon Nolan and a whole bunch of other people that have made their transition, and people who've never been in the physical mine, entities of all sorts didn't, I mean, it was entirely different than something else. So when you say good, what I hear is not moralistic. I mean, there that that can be one criteria that says, you know, are you living a life that's consistent with the moral values, with the community that you're living in? My answer it's like not that we're not going that way. When I hear you say, good life, when I'm hearing you saying, Are you living an authentic life? Are you living a life that is the truest expression of who you are, and are you pursuing those kinds of experiences that you signed up for when you came into this world? Because we all do. I mean, there's a whole there's a whole center up there that talks about, when you come into this physical world, there's a whole team of people that help you assemble the life that you're going to have here. Pick your parents, your friends, and the kind of experiences you want, both physical and non physical, spiritual. They craft what your life will be like, and a good life is is consistent with coming up with those kinds of exam. Are you? Are you living the fullest expression of your life? So when I get a chance and I make my final transition and I go up to the non physical universe, one of the first people I want to meet is Judas Iscariot. Judas Iscariot to remind folks out there, he's the person who betrayed Jesus, sold him for 30 pieces of silver. Jesus could not be Jesus without Judas Iscariot, and who would sign up for that job, who would willing to accept the hate and damnations of 1000s of years and millions of people for the betrayal of the Divine Jesus, and in my world view, it had to be Jesus's best friend, because who else would do that? Only somebody that loved him so dearly that he would be willing to sacrifice not only his life but his reputation and his play bad juju that people sent it in for all those 1000s of years. But that was his calling, that was his fullest expression of himself, was to play that role so that the two of them together could make the life of Jesus be a central role in where it had to go. My mission in this life is to love, to become a further expression of what is possible, to expand my ability to love and to be there for those who want to hang out with this is a cooperative adventure, and it's my job to play my part to the fullest extent that I can. The ultimate purpose in life is to love, to expand our ability to love and to gain knowledge, so that we as human beings, as a being, a singular being, become wiser, but also for us as a collective so that we become wiser as a species. And for me, my personal mission is to make available these states of consciousness for people who would like to explore them.
