Hi Alex,
Your post heading caught my attention as I'm becoming to feel that I have some information to offer on this subject because I'm taking care of palliative people on a daily basis... I'm also a spiritual seeker, have had a near death experience and one walk out/in experience.
Also this brings to mind one very scarey and awesome experience that I had a few months ago. I was actually being attacked spiritually and found myself being in the place just before you decide where you're going to go to live on the other side. Let me tell you I was aware, fully, bodily, keenly sensing every drop of dewy sweat on my face. I had form...I was floating in space, with the stars and planets. A group of stars came twoards me and made a sound almost like the fizz in a glass of pop as it went right thorugh me. It felt like they kissed my cool, dewy cheek. I then realized that I was maintaining my energy in bodily form and if I just let go I would expand out amongst this wonderful place but never losing my sense of self. It felt like a very liberating stretch. I was *more real* than in this limited human body. It was so freeing, I felt content, happy and at peace.
The creature that was bothering me then wanted to me to make a decision as to where I was to go. On one side below me was a place of demons and human souls that had chose to be there. Chosen being the important word here. The thing that he was offering me was more power beyond my beliefs. (not interested:)
On the other side was a planet filled with people, wonderful people.. it was home. I had no doubt as to where I was going and that it wasn't my time yet but I didn't want this to end. I started to feel a pull from the friendly planet and their voices started to get louder. I felt like I would be consumed by their joy, if that makes any sense. It sounded like a back yard bbq with everyone laughing and joking around. The pull became very strong and even though I would have liked to even go for a visit. I knew it was time to come back.
My transition back was swift but that feeling of calmness, lightness and joy stayed with me for several days after. I've been back there once and I know that I can go anytime I want because I consciously know the way now.
So may I suggest that when your consciousness starts to transfer fully to the spirit you actually wake up to a keener sense of true self and being being. When I'm with people who are actively crossing over they usually take little trips back and forth. It confused me at first because I could feel them leave but then they'd be back again. I finallly figured out that they transit to the other side to test the ground there, talk to a few relatives and then pop back to their human body as long as they can stand it... can you imagine how restrictive the dying body would feel? but finally the pull from their home planet is too great and the human body is so spent that they make the final leap. Its their human ties that bring them back friends, relatives that's why its important to verbalise to the person, even if you think they can't hear, that 'its okay to go'. It makes their transition easier. What a relief it must be:)
I don't think it really matters how we die. If we die suddenly then it will be a bit of a shock and the spirit may hang around the body for a while but theres no way you can ignore that pull that I believe is with and beyond the white light. Also it doesn't matter what spiritual level we're at because there is a sense over there that we really are fully conscious spirits having a physical experience. The real life/existence is on the other side. this is a learning experinece and sometimes a very difficult one to say the least.
If you were to die in your sleep the transition would be very nice.. it would be like waking up in heaven. I went to sleep on that planet with so many problems and woke up in perfection... sounds very good to me
