Initiation of the Body

[Patrick]

Does anyone ever see the metaphors or understand the symbols?

Do any of you think that some of these rituals and teachings might be metaphorical and designed for a teaching that is something different than the experiencing of death.

It seems that when some people speak of these rituals all they have in mind is deathy, death and more death.

My friend, have you ever studied the science of Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) ?

If not, I believe you may find closure from this angle.

Here is a very good website on the subject: http://www.near-death.com/

Incidentally, this is where my true awakening actually started last year. Before launching me into studying other material.

Without having first studied NDEs, my understanding of the rest would have been greatly distorted since I was a very scientific person.
