7pm "After Death States’ and their Importance to Life and Spiritual Practice:  Barry Bowden" 

This talk is about what happens to us in the ‘after death state’ and why it does.  As nature has a reason for everything, the idea of punishment is born of ignorance.  Instead we should be seeing ourselves as the master of our destiny. If we do suffer it is simply because we do not understand the laws of nature. This also has the greatest impact on us while we are still ‘alive’ as we can see the mirroring of spiritual practice in the after death life.

"How we understand ourselves determines the way we understand the world and how we feel and behave in this world. We identify ourselves with some aspects of our life.  What are the implications of this identification: the fear of death, the need to compare, to judge, the requirement to submit to God. If we want to free ourselves of torments, to be serene Is this the best way to apprehend reality or is there an alternative
