Does the following make any sense or can it be conceived in the way that Laird/Titus Rivas (and others) are conceiving (limiting?) the self?
This is from Natalie Sudman's NDE. She had her NDE when she got blown up in her Land Cruiser, after it hit an explosive device.
Here she first describes how, when we're in normal waking consciousness, we simultaneously experience things like talking on a cell phone and understanding space as we're walking through it. Then she writes, about the NDE experience (*the dais is part of the unearthly environment she suddenly finds herself in):

Quote:In a similar way, in the state or place of expanded awareness I'm able to simultaneously hold an awareness of my body in the progressive physical experience of sitting in the Land Cruiser rolling down the road after being blown up, and of me standing intrepid on the dais with all its multi-progressive experiences. I am also outside both of those focal points while observing them, and am simultaneously experiencing other dimensions not described here.
I'm able to look at each of those "me's" and at the same time look within them from the outside and out of them from the inside. I'm able to comprehend them from within the cells, within the energy, within their (my) perceptive mechanisms, back from various futures, forward from various pasts, or from any other infinite number of focal points. Because Time and Space are multi-dimensional, I am also multi-dimensional. I'm able to perceive from and within any and all of these simultaneously and with varying degrees of awareness as I choose to focus.
