EXTRACTS ABOUT EMOTIONS FROM Michael Talbot - "The
Holographic Universe"
"Grof and
Joan Halifax, a Harvard medical anthropologist and the coauthor (with
Grof) of "The Human Encounter with Death", have also commented on the
life review's holographic aspects. According to several NDE (Near Death
Experience) researchers, including Moody, even many NDEers themselves
use the term "holographic", when describing the experience. Again and
again NDEers use the word holographic to describe it, referring to it,
as an incredibly vivid, wrap-around, three-dimensional replay of their
entire life. "It's like climbing right inside a movie of your life, "
says one NDEer. "Every moment from every year of your life is played
back in complete sensory detail. Total, total recall. And it all
happens in an instant." "The whole thing was really odd. I was there; I
was actually seeing these flashbacks; I was actually walking through
them, and it was so fast. Yet, it was slow enough, that I could take it
all in," says another. During this instantaneous and panoramic
remembrance NDEers reexperience all the emotions, the joys and the
sorrows, that accompanied all of the events in their life. More than
that, they feel all of the emotions of the people, with whom they have
interacted as well. They feel the happiness of all the individuals, to
whom they've been kind. If they have committed a hurtful act, they
become acutely aware of the pain their victim felt, as a result of
their thoughtlessness. And no event seems too trivial to be exempt.
Whitton has uncovered evidence, that thoughtless acts are not the only
things, that cause individuals remorse during the life review. Under
hypnosis his subjects reported, that failed dreams and aspirations
— things they had hoped to accomplish during their life, but had
not—also caused them pangs of sadness. Thoughts, too, are
replayed with exacting fidelity during the life review. Reveries, faces
glimpsed once, but remembered for years, things, that made one laugh,
the joy one felt, when gazing at a particular painting, childish
worries, and long forgotten daydreams—all flit through one's mind
in a second. As one NDEer summarizes, "Not even your thoughts are l o s
t . Every thought was there."

NDE research, where it's difficult to make a distinction between
thought and light. In the near-death experience thought seems to be
light, " she observes...Like OBEers, after NDEers have detached from
the physical, they find themselves in one of two forms, either as a
disembodied cloud of energy, or as a hologram-like body, sculpted by
thought..."One man described it by saying, that if he stopped thinking,
he was merely a cloud in an endless cloud, undifferentiated", he
observes. "But as soon, as he started to think, he became himself"...At
first the bodies, Whitton's subjects assumed, resembled the persons,
they had been in their last life. But as their experience in the
between-life state continued, they gradually became a kind of
hologram-like composite of all of their past lives. This composite
identity even had a name, separate from any of the names, they had used
in their physical incarnations... we are all ultimately just frequency
phenomena, patterns of some unknown vibratory energy enfolded in the
greater matrix of the frequency domain..."I realized, that each person
and thing has its own musical tone range as well, as its own color
range says an Arizona housewife, who had an NDE during childbirth. "If
you can imagine yourself effortlessly moving in and out among prismatic
rays of light and hearing each person's musical notes join and
harmonize with your own, when you touch or pass them, you would have
some idea of the unseen world." The woman, who encountered many
individuals in the afterlife realm, who manifested only as clouds of
colors and sound, believes the mellifluous tones, each soul emanates,
are, what people are describing, when they say, they hear beautiful
music in the ND dimension...it is the ability to "simultaneously
comprehend the Whole and every part."
