Yes, it's been very difficult - the great horror has been the thought that he is conscious in his paralyzed body, like the man in the book THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY. But recent brain tests show no brain activity, and I am convinced that he has not suffered - in fact, I often feel that his spirit is around the house, free of his body. There's really nothing more I can do for him at present, except pray, and encourage him to let go and pass over. A medium I consulted told me he has already done that, and is at peace.<br /><br />Truth is, there are many such people like my brother in institutions, people warehoused in nursing homes whose lives on this physical plane are really over. It's a very hard place to visit.......Lauren Rainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12157367890138761677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042413503017463795.post-65775544651319769642011-09-16T10:03:57.328-07:002011-09-16T10:03:57.328-07:00How amazing Lauren, the film seems very interestin...How amazing Lauren, the film seems very interesting. I too would love and will try to see it. Thanks for sharing the find. I am sorry to hear of your brother's condition. That must be such a difficult situation for everyone. I agree with Trish and hope that he and all of you will come to know true peace .Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01435632350587380355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042413503017463795.post-6301386715617880362011-09-15T21:55:36.781-07:002011-09-15T21:55:36.781-07:00Thanks for posting.

And yet, I know what you mean about his spirit...Some people, it seems approach death in unconventional ways...bodies still alive, but barely, and spirits off exploring the afterlife.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342491014187885798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042413503017463795.post-25148091181054695562011-09-15T19:49:00.993-07:002011-09-15T19:49:00.993-07:00Thanks Misha, I actually agree - the trailor did n...Thanks Misha, I actually agree - the trailor did not impress me as much as the subject matter does; here's hoping that the movie is much better. And I agree also with your comment about "short attention span - overly dramatic" - we live in a "marketing" era, and I am tired of even the best artists feeling they have to comply with "formula" in order to share what they have to say. But let's wait and see how the film maker succeeds........Lauren Rainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12157367890138761677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042413503017463795.post-58765268624439741822011-09-15T18:07:12.883-07:002011-09-15T18:07:12.883-07:00Thank you for posting this.

I really hope that it is not a segment of the film itself, as I feel that it really detracts from this amazing message and all of these incredible case studies, not to mention Raymond Moody's life work. Why so many things have to be presented in this short attention span, overly dramatic way eludes me.<br /><br />Still, I appreciate this post and the fact that the message is out there at least in some form.<br /><br />If you view the film and find that it has been put together with more heart and soul than the trailer, less zip and zap and a pace more conducive to contemplation, please let me know.<br /><br />peace ~Mishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01758902060937156702noreply@blogger.com
