Sleep is the tiny death. Sleep is the closest we will get to feeling death without dying and we do it every day.
Sleep puts you close to death every day. The only other way to get close to death is a near-death experience; we recommend avoiding near-death experiences.
When you are close to death, you are close to those who have died. When you are falling asleep, but haven’t tumbled into the void yet, looking over the cliff into the dark, you are near those who have passed from this world.
It’s near-sleep when the passed-from-this-world are most accessible to you–so access them.
Talk to those who are no longer living before you fall asleep. The dead are not gone, they have simply returned to the time before they were born, as all living things do.
To say the dead no longer exist, or that they are gone forever, is ignorance because no one has credibly crossed over to report on the before-birth and after-Earthly-life realm before.
Talk to your dead before you fall asleep.
Talk to your heroes who have passed on. They are receptive to your thoughts and words. Some mentors and models feel more accessible dead than they do alive.
If you’re a fighter, talk to Muhammad Ali about his fights, as well as yours.
If you’re a basketball player, chat with Kobe.
If you’re a painter, talk to Leonardo Di Vinci.
If you’re an inventor, talk to Tesla, Edison, or Di Vinci.
Talk to Miyamoto Musashi about his 21 rules for walking alone.
Talk to your mentors & models about their life, as well as yours.
Talk to your family members who have past on, family members you know or don’t know. If a parent has passed away, you can speak to them every single night. You can ask known family members for support, as well as ancient relatives who you would never be able to meet during your experience on Earth. Invite them to conversation and ask them to look after you, to support your dreams and goals, and achieve your dreams and goals for yourself and for them.
Talk to your friends who have passed away. Carry them with you and never forget them.
Living for others, regardless of whether they are alive or not, nourishes the spirit of the living, and of those who have passed on.
