. This one differs from typical NDE accounts since Billy actually died at age 62, hit by a car. After some time, his sister started getting messages from him over the course of a year. Of course, one might challenge the authenticity of such messages, but feel read the accounts for yourself. They are very convincting. ... In any event, the basic pattern of what unfolds reminds me of the Tibetan Book, of the Dead, and what stages one might go through on the journey to the Clear Light. That is, if one makes it that far without being attracted to the lure of the astral planes and the gravity of former attachments. Feel free to skip to the end, where the Sister gives an account of the end of the story: Billy making it into the Clear Light through the help of Chenrezig. This is interesting in that Billy displayed no apparent attachment to any form of Deity or Yidam worship in his physical life; and in fact led a life of debauchery. Then, how to explain the appearance of Chenrezig in spite of zero religious affiliation or practeces on his part? In my mind, the favorable outcome of Billy's journey must have been due to devotion to Chenrezig in a previous lifetime (a hypothesis not mentioned in the book).
