Death Panorama
A term sometimes used to denote the out-of-body experience of the newly departed soul after death.
A sudden stream of recalled memories that, upon death, come in a rush, instantly, to the departed, sort of like a panoramic view of all events in someone's life.
According to occultists, when the etheric body has finally separated itself from the physical shell the newly departed spirit contemplates a panoramic view of its preceding life for a period of approximately two to three days.
In this condition, what was before experienced sequentially, spread out in time, is now perceived as timeless (that is, in eternity) and viewed as a panoramic whole.
Dying, the halting of all life functions, is the great unknown that neither science nor religion has ever been able to penetrate. Because it is both unknown and inevitable, death has always been an object of fascination and fear.

As you may have noticed, Occultopedia is being updated.
Navigation areas are completed, but the word definition pages are not. The
layout in these pages might not look as good as they should. Updating them
may take a while, so please, be patient and understanding. I am only one
person working on this site in my spare time.
As soon as these updates are concluded I will begin setting up the
Forums, so we can all discuss the
occult, paranormal and extraordinary, and whatever else we please.
Registration will be required.
Occultopedia's images and art are also undergoing an adjustment to
Flash based graphics. This process may take some time as well, so again, be

Occultopedia is the genuine article, the
original and the best internet index of the extraordinary and uncanny,
shamelessly copied by many, but never equaled. Online since the
early 90s — at first in a free web space provider, and in 1997 finally
with its own domain name and hosting — Occultopedia still is the
principal online resource for those looking for the unexplained, the
curious and the unusual. |
