MS: You have continuity of awareness in the death process also in old buddhism and elsewhere, where simply one has acquired enough coherence by his life practice/karma forming his life/soul/energy bodies and awareness in this regard - for example, physical body dying off and the practitioner (in this case anagami, non-returner, leaving the boundary of kama-dhatu forever, but not a boddhisattva) "waking up" in Pure Abodes in the Highest Heavens Rupa-loka, but this practitioner went thru the transformation in the dying process as well - You are fist struck by The Clear Light of The Absolute how could You avoid it, getting on his definitive journey in the intermediate state past the Gates of Kama-loka, getting to High Heavens, past the Radiant Gods, to the Pure abodes, safe heavens to continue on the path from these high heavens from kalpa to kalpa to the absolute final infinite state of total unbinding: You become everything.



So You are waking up here in heavens, but also You can wake up as a ghost or animal, or as martyr in hell which has similar degree of continuity as waking up in heavens.





Dont take it wrong. To burn up fire from within, exploding, merging with Infinity - total freedom ideal - especially if You do it in complete nagual group configuration..



You have something similar in the "rainbow body", or in pali Canon, there also cases of burning the fire from within.
