In shamanism death affects only the final rupture of the relationship of consciousness vital to the physical body of living beings with life. Thus, the tree is alive with the sap, and died after being gunned down and uprooted.While its roots remain alive, it will reflect back its stock, which is why the lives of some trees can cross centuries.
In comparing to the life of man, his link of his conscientiousness at his physical body does not last long. At a given instant, a life goes out of the womb and inspires; another moment, a life goes out and his body died definitely. For those who will be a materialist in his life, death is final and complete, he git stiff and lifeless.Belief in the afterlife offers another area where there is continuity of the vital consciousness that his physical body would live in the astral or causal body of that person. At the time of this transit there is a definite requirement not sleep.
The sleep of the body is abandoned by his vital consciousness infects the body it goes to sleep he also aware that the death cut off definitely its transparent bound of the physical body. Worse, if that person is drunk, drugged or blinded by his anger when death comes, his conscience will remain vital prisoner of the dream caused by drink or drugs to keep wandering in what shamans called the lower astral.
In shamanism, the world of dream images is seen as another place to live. In the dream world, as in the physical bodies, there are those who are asleep and do not know, there are those who know but sleep also, and there are those who do not sleep. About the life of the vital consciousness, nobody can say anything, as everything was born one day, as his death will come another day. That is why the shaman offers an exercise that is to require the vigilance of the astral body so it does not fall asleep when the physical body sleeps.
The shaman Joska Soos advised to ask your eyes mentally on the constellation Andromeda, which is very close to ours.He said, get closer to this constellation and hold your attention, then brace yourself there. Do not sink into sleep, feeling that your body is asleep and your astral body is above, but do not look at him, fix your eyes (your Third Eye) on the ceiling of your room or on the landscape is right behind your window and feel very strong mentally to the constellation Andromeda. You suddenly enter into a space that is other than light: do not let fear. Fear causes a bounce of the physical body, the sensation of falling and sleep catches up with you.The state of consciousness where you are is decisive is why a daily practice of meditation and achieving inner silence which is a place without an image, or hope, or regret.To resist the start of the physical body that holds your astral body, use the mudra of the strength.
