The New Book of Transcending Death: Achieve Liberation and Ascension by Merging with the Divine Light During the Bardo

By Liao Chian

The book reveals the truth about death: it is just a transition of consciousness and life is eternal, as death just applies to the physical body, and the soul, the consciousness that enlivens and uses the physical body lives forever. Human beings are multi-dimensional and our higher dimensional energy bodies, i.e. the emotional body, mental body and spiritual body also continue existing in the other realms after disconnecting from the physical body. The three stages of the end-of-lifetime bardo and the rebirth bardo are described, and there is a step-by-step guide for transcending death by merging with the divine light in the first two stages of the end-of-lifetime bardo and taking advantage of the life review bardo. There is a detailed depiction of the mechanism, the signs and the essential preparations needed for the death of the physical body. The book also explains what happens after "death", describes which body the soul extension generally transitions to and the possible temporary or longer-term destinations after the death of the physical body, before making a decision on the reincarnation. It specifically mentions why some soul extensions get stuck on the Earth, where people with bad habits, those committing suicides, and murderers usually go after death, to admonish the relevant people. It also talks about what planes those who have achieved high levels of spiritual development usually go after "death", in order to encourage people to develop themselves in spirituality and to resolve karmic issues as much as possible in this lifetime, so that after the death of the physical body, they will be able to go to a plane with higher vibrational frequency of consciousness, living a happier, freer and more wonderful life.

PREFACE

Most of us think that the world we perceive is the real world, but in fact the world we see is only the world in our eyes, not necessarily the world that conforms to the truth. We all see the world through colored lenses; as we are accustomed to seeing the world through colored lenses, we are often unaware of their existence. Such colored lenses are mainly beliefs formed intentionally or unintentionally; most of the beliefs are socialized beliefs instilled in the family, school, religion, media, etc., influenced by the collective consciousness and subconciousness, and the programming of humanity, past and present. Most human beings do not know the truth of the universe and life, and do not know who their true self is, but live as the false self, formed by various socialized beliefs and programming. One such belief has to do with so-called death. This book aims at dispelling the misconceptions about death by revealing the truth of death.

The main focus of this book is on the science of the bardo. There appears clear light in the first two stages of the end-of-lifetime bardo; this clear light is the divine light of the Creator (also known as All That Is, Source, Pure Consciousness, Quantum Field, Oneness, the Void, Essence, God, Dharmakaya Buddha, Brahman, Allah, Wuji, Tathagata, Holy Spirit, Divine Self, etc.). After the dying pilgrim merges completely with this bright light, he/she can go directly to the world of bliss or paradise, providing him/her with an opportunity to attain enlightenment and liberation; but most people know nothing about it, so they unfortunately miss out on the rarest opportunity in life for spiritual development and evolution, to be free from suffering and to gain liberation. The author hopes that the scientific interpretation of the bardo will help people understand the reality of the bardo, so that they can seize and make full use of the opportunity to achieve ascension by merging with the Divine Light during the end-of-lifetime bardo.
