This daring new book, which stresses the importance of using discernment at all times, tells us that we can all survive our deaths quite consciously and then explains how we can actually use this experience of dying for growth in consciousness. The author, Dr. Angela Browne-Miller, takes us to the frontier of the conscious dying movement, and then coaches us beyond even that frontier, offering an actual travel guide to the dimensions beyond the physical plane. "These are places you can go whether or not you are physically dead," she tells her students.

Browne-Miller eases readers into what she calls "death technologies" by describing physical death as one more point along a continuum of deaths, most of which are what she refers to as "living deaths," such as leaving home, getting divorced, breaking an addiction, and losing a loved one. This manual on How To Die and Survive provides an intelligently, elegantly, and soulfully detailed approach to any profound change or transition in life. Readers are urged to see any challenge, crisis or transition as an opportunity to educate — to elaborate upon or enhance one’s consciousness.

The overall concept she teaches is that when one practices being fully conscious — no matter what happens — one develops in the consciousness the total awareness that death is mastered.

This approach to death speaks to all of us, regardless of age, belief system, or challenges faced. This intimate and matter-of-fact discussion tells us that any death — even physical death and the associated fear and grieving — is merely the reformatting of a "personal energy matrix," the rearranging of psychological, social, emotional, biophysical and consciousness structures. "The apple cart is upset, everything tumbles, and then, if you remain aware during the shuffle, you can rearrange the fruit and regain a new stable formation," Browne-Miller teaches, as she takes her clients and students through the exercises in this book.

The author also tells us, "My goal is to help people through the portals of change, dissolution and reconstruction with the greatest degree of consciousness. Whether people are going through changes in their lives or are on their actual physical deathbeds, these teachings transform the experience to one of growth, with hope and continuity as the result. The concept that dying can be growth is not within traditional definitions of death." She smiles, "neither is interdimensional travel."

In our era of increasing institutionalization and governmentalization, How To Die and Survive rises out of the clamor as a literary statue of liberty, a symbol of individual and broader human rights. We find it of interest that the timing of this book (and the seminars its author is now teaching around the nation and world) is synchronistically paralleling the "right to die" debate. As the U.S. Supreme Court reviews this right, with at least one of its members having commented publicly that there is no "right to die" awarded by the U.S. Constitution, we must pause to wonder.*

If a mature sane adult citizen, harming no one left behind, cannot choose, regardless of the pain or other circumstances he or she must bear, his or her time of, place of, assistance in, method of and even reason for his or her own death, how free is that citizen? Read between the lines. Are our fundamental freedoms at risk? Since everyone experiences many forms of living deaths and, ultimately, physical death, should one not have the right to at least determine, through understanding some of the process? We are finally coming out of the barbaric practice of denying ourselves full education for, and participation consciously in, childbirth. Is not death education and participation at least as important to humanity’s development?

Exactly how much information about the boundaries of this material plane called reality have we been deprived? Read How To Die and Survive and decide for yourself. How close are we to the reality of space, time and other interdimensional travel? Will individual citizens who do not have access to the massive trillion-dollar government coffers ever be able to explore what we call "outer space"? Practice the carefully paced exercises in How To Die and Survive and decide for yourself. Already many readers are commenting that the real title of this planet-shaking soul-filling book is "How To Fly."
