Life sneaks up on us when we least expect it. We are going about our day like the many before, and all of a sudden we feel the brush of anxiety and stress taking hold. We would love to believe that the world could just stop spinning for a moment, but we know better than that. It is us who needs to stop spinning, and not the other way around.

ABSTRACT:

Memory is key to our conscious development. Relationships between people and objects form into living narratives from our actions and imagination, as the mind rapidly compares memory with new experiences through the five physical senses streaming into an ever-present moment before our eyes. After-death memory works in exact same way, ensuring order in our living physical world narrative and the eternal realm beyond. Better understanding of the process will ensure direction…
