The Book on Life Beyond by Bô Yin Râ: Death and Afterlife in Spiritual Perspective (open access)

The Book on Life Beyond by Bô Yin Râ: Death and Afterlife in Spiritual Perspective

"This paper seeks to draw attention to a comprehensive work on death-related questions, first published in 1920, that sheds light on crucial problems still discussed today. The author speaks from his extensive observations of the dying process and near-death phenomena, seen from a spiritual point of view, but, more importantly, discusses the inherent structure of nonphysical existence, where life no longer is perceived by mortal senses but rather, as he states, by virtue of a spiritual organism and its faculties" (abstract).

Multiple Mind/Body Perspectives and the Out-of-Body Experience

"This study reviews and analyzes evidence for a rare but persistently reported facet of out-of-body experience (OBE)/near-death experience (NDE) phenomenology designated the "multiple-body/split-consciousness" effect.

The paper also analyzes this phenomenon from a neurological perspective and the mathematical branch called topology.
