"I had a vision that I was going below the ground …;

it was as though many people were holding me down from above.

After that I felt as though I were being moved to and fro in a great ocean, and

I felt … the cold waves on my body.

43

The whole earth was filled with fire, …

as if my body were being scorched in a great burning roar.

After that there appeared red, white and yellow paths, something like dusk, great roaring sounds. …

Then one moment I felt as though I'd arrived in a crackling butter lamp;

just then there appeared over my head many rays being expelled from the midst of a five-colored light. At the tip of each ray were

several beings with human bodies and heads of different forms. Their eyes gaped like the sun and moon, and they carried in their hands many different kinds of weapons."

"First, the "soul" undergoes an autoscopic experience, seeing its own corpse … Invariably, one's own body appears in distorted, usually animal shape,

a dog,

a pig,

a snake,

etc."

"I … was a corpse. … Its arms and legs were stretched out and it faced downwards. … it was tied with its feet behind its head."

"I … was … the stinking corpse of a large pig"

"I heard the sound of a thousand dragons roaring"

"a hail of pus and blood, the size of eggs"

"The 'das-log acquires, usually for the length of his otherworldly journey, an advisor-comforter-companion … Most often they are gorgeous, dazzling white-clad figures who nourish the 'das-log with nectar, and

further allay the stresses … by telling what they want to hear about their potential human careers."
