This podcast is about immortality with Dr Shelley Astrof, originally from Montreal but now based in India, and asks questions such as does life end when the body dies and is existence dependent only on a body. Shelley is the author of the Knower Curriculum and Timeless Tales books and chapter contributor to Sacred Death, 25 tools for caregivers. Her chapter in Sacred Death is entitled Immortality is your True Home – Meditation on the Knower can get you there – and this chapter, in particular, informed the context for the podcast.
In the interview we discuss issues such as the meaning of God, the tools for deepening a meditation practice, the Bhagravad Gita (the song celestial), states of consciousness and what happens when the body dies. These questions have always intrigued me but are also interesting if seeking to dialogue with levels of psycho-spiritual development (what others might term the transpersonal). Shelley’s deep meditation tools perhaps deals with the material associated with causal non dual level in the Wilber model, or the transpersonal self in the Rowan model.
