Hello, Eldanen.

This might correlate with something I just recently read in Bruce Moen's books - for example "Voyage into the Unknown" and "Afterlife Knowledge Guidebook".

In Moen's model of consciousness there are two parts of you that experience this whole non-physical experience - the Interpreter and the Perceiver. The Interpreter is your ego voice, making associations with pre-stored memory... and going on and on in associations and fully distracting you. And the other one is the Perceiver, who actually submits new sensory input from the non-physical world.

Robert for example recommends "Mind Taming", the use of willpower to silence the mind. According to Moen this is necessary to allow the Perceiver to supply new imagery and non-physical sensory input. The Interpreter has the tendency to take awareness away from the perceptions and therefore kill the experience.

On the other hand, according to Moen, a certain amount of Interpreter is necessary to actually store the memory in the brain. The Interpreter not only lists out associations like "I just saw a cat. I had a cat once, it loved its yarn. Yarn sounds like yawn. Darn! I lost concentration." (also known as the monkey mind), according to Moen it also makes these memory associations in the first place. According to Moen for good recall a certain amount of Interpreter is necessary or else you just click out and simply not remember the experience.

Finding a balance between Interpreter and Perceiver is according to Moen the key in having an experience and to remember it. It is at least an interesting idea.

So, when you have the imagery, don't get startled by the Interpreter kicking in. When you are awake in your mind, the Interpreter is potentially there, too. Just relax it, shift your awareness away from the Interpreter. When it comes up, shift back to the experience. Find a balance. This might help.

Take good care,
Oliver
