Tibetan Book of the Dead - that moment of uniting with the Yuan Qi of the Universe after death
.........................If the expiration is about to cease, turn the dying one over on the right side, which posture is called the 'Lying Posture of a Lion'. The throbbing of the arteries [on the right and left side of the throat] is to be pressed.If the person dying be disposed to sleep, or if the sleeping state advances, that should be arrested, and the arteries pressed gently but firmly. Thereby the vital-force will not be able to return from themedian-nerve and will be sure to pass out through the Brahmanic aperture. Now the real setting-face-to-face is to be applied.At this moment, the first [glimpsing] of the Bardo of the Clear Light of Reality, which is the Infallible Mind of the Dharma-Kdya, is experienced by all sentient beings.The interval between the cessation of the expiration and the cessation of the inspiration is the time during which the vital-force remaineth in the median-nerve.The common people call this the state wherein the consciousness-principle hath fainted away. The duration of this state is uncertain. [It dependeth] upon the constitution, good or bad, and [the state of] the nerves and vital-force. In those who have had even a little practical experience of the firm, tranquil state of dhyana, and in those who have sound nerves, this state continueth for a long time.
..............After the expiration hath completely ceased, press the nerve of sleep firmly
.........................In various Tantras it is said that this state of swoon endureth for about three and one -half days. Most other [religious treatises] say for four days; and that this setting-face-to-face with the Clear Light ought to be persevered in [during the whole time].
............................impress in these words, thus:Reverend Sir, now that thou art experiencing the Fundamental Clear Light, try to abide in that state which now thou art experiencing.
one's body is of the nature of that called the shining illusory-body.Not knowing whether [he be] dead or not, [a state of] lucidity cometh [to the deceased. If the instructions be successfully applied to the deceased while he is in that state, then, by the meeting of the Mother-Reality
............................
..................................There are six states of Bardo, namely: the natural state of Bardo while in the womb; the Bardo of the dream-state; the Bardo of ecstatic equilibrium, while in deep meditation; the Bardo of the moment of death; the Bardo [during the experiencing] of Reality; the Bardo of the inverse process of sangsaric existence. These are the six.O nobly-born, thou wilt experience three Bardos, the Bardo of the moment of death, the Bardo [during the experiencing] of Reality, and the Bardo while seeking rebirth. Of these three, up to yesterday, thouhadst experienced the Bardo of the moment of death. Although the Clear Light of Reality dawned upon thee, thou wert unable to hold on, and so thou hast to wander here.
SO WHAT HAPPENS IS RIGHT AT DEATH THERE IS A UNIFICATION OF THE PO SOUL AND THE HUN SOUL via the heart stopping - and so the Yuan Qi is experienced via the Yuan Shen - as a deep blissful joy love. That is reunion with the Cosmic Mother of the Universe - the Mother of Reality.
But if this can not be embraced and understood - then the Hun Soul separates from the body and the spirit then roams the astral realms until rebirth................
May I recognize whatever [visions] appear, as the reflections of mine own consciousness.....................
May I recognize whatever [visions] appear, as the reflections of mine own consciousness; From the midst of that radiance, the natural sound of Reality, reverberating like a thousand thunders simultaneously sounding, will come. That is the natural sound of thine own real self. Be not daunted thereby, nor terrified, nor awed.
..............
..................Be not fond of the dull white light of the devas. Be not attached [to it]; be not weak. If thou be attached to it, thou wilt wander into the abodes of the devas and be drawn into the whirl of the Six Lokas. That is an interruption to obstruct thee on the Path of Liberation. Look not at it. Look at the bright blue light in deep faith.
May the Divine Mother of Infinite Space
by [my] rearguard;
.......................................Be not fond of the dull white light of the devas. Be not attached [to it]; be not weak. If thou be attached to it, thou wilt wander into the abodes of the devas and be drawn into the whirl of the Six Lokas. That is an interruption to obstruct thee on the Path of Liberation. Look not at it. Look at the bright blue light in deep faith.Thereupon, through the power of egotism, thou wilt beget a fear for the dazzling yellow light and wilt[with to] flee from it. Thou wilt be fondly attracted towards the dull bluish-yellow light from the human [world].At that time do not fear that bright, dazzling-yellow, transparent light, but know it to be Wisdom;
.................................................
...............................................................At that time, through the influence of intense attachment, thou wilt become terrified by the dazzling red light, and wilt [wish to] flee from it. And thou wilt beget a fondness for that dull red light of the Preta-loka.At that time, be not afraid of the glorious, dazzling, transparent, radiant red light. Recognizing it as Wisdom, keeping thine intellect in a state of resignation, thou wilt merge [into it] inseparably and attain Buddhahood.If thou dost not recognize it, think, 'It is the rays of the grace of the Bhagavan Amitabha, and I will take refuge in it'; and, trusting humbly in it, pray unto it. That is the hook-rays of the grace of the Bhagavan Amitabha. Trust in it humbly; flee not. Even if thou fleest, it will follow thee inseparably [from thyself]. Fear it not. Be not attracted towards the dull red light of the Preta-loka. That is the light-path proceeding from the accumulations of thine intense attachment [to sangsaric existence]which hath come to receive thee.
O nobly-born, listen undistractedly. On the Fifth Day, the green light of the primal form of the element air will shine upon thee.
This is what I have stated - that the Green Light is the Yuan Qi energy!!!!
...............................................
O nobly-born, on this the Sixth Day, the four colours of the primal states of the four elements [water, earth, fire, air] will shine upon thee simultaneously.
.....................
Blue, Yellow, Red, Green
So the reason the spiritual light is bright and dazzling while the rebirth karmic light is dull -is because while alive - and NOT meditating - then the light is "random" and diffuse - of the external world. While our internal biophotons are COHERENT LASER LIGHT - and so dazzling - and we should not be afraid since reality is from the Law of Phase Harmony as coherent laser light based on energy from quantum relativistic frequency resonance.
....................................
.............................Then, when upon the Mother Clear-Light — which one had been accustomed to formerly — a secondary Clear-Light, the Offspring Clear-Light, coming together like two intimate acquaintances, blend inseparably, and [therefrom] a self-emancipating radiance dawneth upon one, through self-enlightenment and self-knowledge one is liberated.
So this is the Yuan Shen going into the Emptiness - it is clear light or the "light of no light" - from "turning the light around" - it is the Zero/Infinite "rest frame" of light.
............................
Because thy body is, in reality,
one of voidness, thou needest not fear.
.........................When the natural sound of Reality is reverberating [like] a thousand thunders,May they be transmuted into the sounds of the Six Syllables.
................................................
Now, if thou art to hold fast to the real Truth, thou must allow thy mind to rest undistractedly in the nothing-to-do, nothing-to-hold condition of the unobscured, primordial, bright, void state of thine intellect, to which thou hast been introduced by the guru. [Thereby] thou wilt obtain Liberation without having to enter the door of the womb.
...................................................
there will shine upon thee a dullwhite light from the Deva-world, a dull green light from the Asura-world, a dull yellow light from the Human- world, a dull blue light from the Brute- world, a dull red light from the Preta-world, and a smoke-coloured light from the Hell-world.
..............................................
Still, even when this is done, if the holding [phenomena] as real remaineth undissolved, the womb-door is not closed; and, if one be ready to enter into the womb, thereupon one should close the womb-door by meditating upon the Clear Light
