The seat of the mind—our bare consciousness—is not subject to space and time; it is a quantum phenomenon. This is why information can be acquired which is then translated by the dreaming mechanism and the visual machinery into phenomena which we call spiritual experience. Because the message that we receive can be given any form by our experience maker that we call our mind, we can experience these spiritual phenomena as ghosts, past life memory, divine symbols etc, and the very messengers themselves—angels. Past life memory is possible, but I think that the life that is remembered may be acquiesced by anyone and it is not necessarily personal. If it was personal then there should be a DNA link as well, and I don't know if this has been proven. And it certainly cannot be proven that each experience of these phenomena are unique and therefore personal, because there just isn't enough data to do that.
The experience of pure awareness—consciousness—is both created by the neural system, and also creates the neural system. It is capable of receiving information both from the physical senses and the divine realm of no time and no space: the White Room. The White Room does not allow the ego. In the no time zone of the White Room, it might be possible to access our DNA memory of our previous lives, or indeed any life whatsoever. There are probably no restrictions here at all because if the White Room is the divine heaven, then it all comes from the White Room and the physical projection is just one manifestation of it.
The creation of experience is the mind and the mind has access to the White Room at a sub-level. The guesses that the mind does to try and achieve a better concept is the fiction that plays in our dreams and conjures angels for us. The messages use the White Room as a sort of sorting office and picks up other stuff as well which has no pigeon hole or interpretation. It is the mind that then makes up the message. It tries its best. It can only ultimately fail.
Our mind is God. It creates everything that we experience; it is the creator of our world. Our concept of God is one that is inseparable to how our minds work; the belief is of a creator that produces our world and it is this creation that is our mind doing it.
The universe is as much within, as it is without. Our divine experience of it within has one defining characteristic: it is white. The White Room is the universe. It is God. This is the ultimate contact; there is nothing beyond here. But it is only the doorway to it that we can experience, and nothing else from it can be retrieved. Once we have glimpsed the white light we are struck dumb and become senseless; literally. The mental mechanism—the mind—is for the purpose of the physical entity and has no capability here; it is invisible to it. This is base consciousness in contact with the base of the universe. It is timeless and consequently cannot be analysed by the brain and is separate to any physical brain functioning. The game of time is played by the mind. The mind is the sensor of time, and there is no time here; there can be no mind here.
As there is no time in the White Room, an eternity could pass within it and stepping back through the doorway to our physical existence would be as if no time at all has passed. It could be happening all the time to us and we would never know. There is no story that we can write that can tell of what this other side would be, and any attempt to do so would be using physical world experience analogies. Any imaginations come from our mental concepts which are wholly derived from our physical existence—even the spiritual aspects of it are worldly based, regardless of how much we would like to deny that.
The White Room is the base of the universe in its no time state. Nothing can be brought back from it as all knowledge is the processing of neural activity, of which none has happened in the physical universe while in the White Room. We are always in the White Room and our lives and this universe is like a holographic projection from it which although we call it reality, it is all totally unreal from any perspective that could be achieved from within it.
But this game that we play which we call our lives, can have any story that we wish to make embroidered upon it. So we can imagine our true selves 'living' in the White Room, and this physical experience be but a playground where nothing really matters. This is certainly the experience I've had after having been in the White Room, where after returning the ground beneath one's feet no longer feels quite solid.

Other than when I was a baby, the experience of the White Room used to occur during yawning when I was young, which would be accompanied by a beautiful sound which would stop time and be eternal for less than a few seconds. This heavenly sound would block out all else and be completely engulfing as would the white light that accompanied it, blinding me and engrossing me into the divine. The sound—not the mono tone that is sometimes heard in one ear due to a pressure change within the ear—is similar to the heavenly choir that I have heard during conscious sleep, though that is even fuller and is a different phenomenon and a separate experience, though perhaps there is a common biological mechanism at the root of both providing the seed for the experience.
Many have used such divine experiences to validate their religious concepts and mental constructs foundational to their beliefs, but I know that these processes are separate. Although impacting and transcendental in essence, these experiences are usually fleeting and probably not reserved only for human beings. It is only our mind which contrives greater reasoning and extrapolated meaning from the experiences, and without those processes it is just phenomena of being. Any animal experiencing the same would not conjure these hypotheses and the event would just drift away into the continuity of amorphous exposure to existence. Perhaps we should do the same. It's no big deal.
