Q: (Gaby) So then how is there terminal lucidity when the brain is not working anymore? Like when a person is dying and they have brain damage, but then they wake up and say goodbye as if nothing is wrong right before they die?
A: When the soul or life force is in the process of separating, it is in a position to escape the restrictions of damaged physiology.
Q: (Joe) Pierre asked about that in a previous session not too long ago. How people have a burst of energy before they die...
(L) What did they say?
(Joe) Pierre threw out the idea and they agreed. Something about information. Do you remember?Artemis(Pierre) Yeah...
(L) Here I think they're saying that when it releases, it can override the restrictions. In fact, probably what the person is experiencing is NOT a revival of the brain, but the manifestation of...
(Joe) There are some crazy examples of that. People who are old and ill and didn't speak for a period of time before they died. And then suddenly they woke up and spoke. But there are other cases of young people who died relatively young who'd never spoken a word in their lives who are more or less in a coma or severely handicapped. They never spoke a coherent word, and then just before they die they speak for the first time in their lives in full, proper language that they never used from the day they were born.
(Pierre) The human being is the marriage of the soul and the physical. Especially people dying, the physiology is impaired. But they're married together, so the physical restricts the soul. But just before death, the soul gets freed from the body. It's not restricted anymore.
(L) And it can turn around and control the body that it wasn't able to do before because it was so tied to it, embedded in it, so to say.
(Pierre) So when you hear someone saying unexpected words, it's not a revival of the body or brain. It's the death of the body and the free soul that finally expresses itself.
(L) And still using the instrument in the same way that, say, mediums do. Only you're using your own body in the way a spirit would use it.
(Joe) While that person was in the body, their brain might have been damaged where they couldn't speak at all.
(L) It's mediumistic use of your own body.
(Andromeda) You're self-possessed! [laughter]
(Pierre) It's a shift from symbiosis of soul and body to channeling.
(L) You're channeling your own soul.
(Chu) It's also more proof that the brain is just an antenna. If you can produce actual speech and your brain is damaged?
(L) It's not all there is. There's something else happening.
(Chu) And the brain is not essential for stuff like speech.
A: You are all on a good way to exploring with faith.
