31  ## Notes
32  
33  - p.7 - [[Near-death experiences|Out of body experiences]]
34  - p.14 - [[Meetings with others during near death experiences]] - There are accounts of people who have out-of-body experiences upon death and encounter other people whom they do not know but have died recently. 
35  	- This phenomena is known as [[Extrasensory perception]] aka "sixth sense". It is evidence of the Orthodox Christian experience of encountering saints upon death. [[Elder Ambrose of Optina]] taught that spirits contacted at spiritistic seances are demons and not spirits of the dead. 
36  		- Thus we must conclude that the saints actually appear to the righteous upon death.
37  - p.28 - St. Augustine on the nature of demons [[1540.4a nature of demons and psychic power according to St Augustine]]
38  - p.32 -  [[1540.1a The appearance of angels upon death]]
39  - p.36 - Hindu concept of "Yamdoots" and how demons interfere with the physical world
40  - p.48 - Non-Christians and Hindus also see "heavenly visions" upon death.
41  - p.53 - Communion with angels is unnatural to us but communion with demons is natural
42  - p.57 - **"Bodily organs act as a natural gate to the inner chambers of our souls" -St. Bishop Ignatius

46  - p.60 - [[Aerial Tollhouses]] as told by Bishop Ignatius
47  - p.68 - "God allows some souls to return to life after death as a warning"
48  - St Theodora recalls at the end of her strength, two angels appeared to carry her through the [[Aerial Tollhouses]]. 
49  	- There are many other accounts with the same occurrences, carrying away the newly reposed.
50  - p.105 - [[1410.2a Robert Monroe]] and the 3 "locales" of the aerial realm
51  - p.113 - Story of St. Cyprian's OBE
52  - p.114 - OBE's are known in occult literature but are occurring in greater frequency now with normal people 
53  	- These experiences are of neither heaven nor hell, but the aerial realm of fallen spirits

57  - p.142 The atheist and evangelical experience the same materialistic revelations of "heaven" which is actually the aerial realm of fallen spirits
58  - p.151 - These OBE's are not new, they became popularized because the western mind was "ready" for them.
59  - p.162 - Mainstream adoption of occultism is due to lack of spiritual foundation
