An individual follows a normal two to four week preparation period prior to death. The transition is made much easier.
Entities known to the individual come to serve as guides of the actual passing.
The individual may actually see these non-physical forms or dream of them depending on the method of departure. If the method of departure is sudden such as a fatal heart attack, a stroke, or an accident, the individual usually dreams and recalls these dreams prior to the event. If the departure is a slow one in which the consciousness is still active, the person will usually perceive the non-physical levels as the final disengagement from the physical vehicle occurs. The individual who follows the slow transition has less of a recovery time than the other forms of departure. At this point it is appropriate to mention belief structures and conflicts that may arise during the transition period.
