In the first excerpt (from 1985), Adi Da describes how the habits of attention, while alive, determine what happens in and after death. He dispels the myth, "When you die, you go to heaven." He gives a clear picture of how the death process works, and why spiritual life is absolutely necessary in serving that process.
A Devotee's Journey into Death and Back poster: AdiDaUpClose speaker: Frans Bakker length: 19:59 date added: February 18, 2012 language: English listens: 3438; listens this month: 22; listens this week: 11 In December 1983, two months after Adi Da's arrival at Adi Da Samrajashram (on the island of Naitauba in Fiji), an accident occurred that would have been fatal without Avatar Adi Da's Intervention. The story of that incident is told by two people: Frans Bakker, one of the doctors involved; and Tom Closser, the devotee to whom the accident occurred, who describes his near-death experience, and a profound lesson about how "guilt" can become a self-destructive impediment to growth.
