As for 'dead time' vs. awake time, that would be similar to an NDE with a
completely sequential life review (which I experienced around age 50) that went
over every word and action of a full lifetime of experience in less than the
several minutes that I was presumed brain dead... But, my experience was that
I was actually out of body watching the whole show from up near the ceiling
and laughing about how funny everyone looked moving in molasses-like slow motion
as they came running to my assistance and trying to revive me. All I could
conclude from that experience, was that consciousness does not cease after
death, and that there's a great difference in time constant between the waking
state and the after death state -- similar to what John experienced in the dream
state. I would assume that this also applies to the differences in
fundamental frequencies of the coenergetic fields of brain, mind and memory that carry
those modulated images or contents of consciousness on their surfaces.

The self identity is postulated by ABC to be unchanged after death because
the zero-point center of the coenergetic fields surrounding it, representing our
individual identity that resides at the neural plexus behind the naval while
alive, is the center of the outer spiritual field and its twin inner fields
that together represent our triune monad (or soul in theological terms)
consisting of the higher rational mind, intuitive mind, and the all encompassing
individual spiritual field of consciousness. See human chakra-field diagrams at:
http://users.aol.com/leonmaurer/TaiChiFldDiag-figure-2.gif
http://users.aol.com/leonmaurer/Chakrafielddiag-fig.col.jpg
According to ABC, since these highest order monadic fields must,
theoretically, remain intact after death -- their zero-point center of origin, which
represents our individual self awareness and power of will or intent, cannot change
its condition or its functions because of the following process:
After the death of the physical body, along with the brain and the discharge
of its mundane lifetime memories (which might take up to eight minutes
according to the Tibetan teachings), followed by the death of the Astral form body
and its dissipation, along with the Prana or Chi (vital energy field) and lower
(animal mind and instinctive mind) fields (which takes 49 days according to
the Tibetan Book of the Dead) the remaining fields (higher rational and
intuitive mind) along with the surrounding spiritual field that contains them (where
the past and present lifetime memories are stored) -- being of the highest
order corresponding to the initial Solar system's monadic fields appearing at the
moment of its birth -- remains intact as long as the analogous Solar Monad
fields, as an inseparable trinity, remain intact... And, continues as such even
during its sleep cycle, when its memories are stored in its zero-point
spinergy, along with our individual zero-point spinergy containing all our
experiential memories merged with it... All, to sequentially awaken again in a new
cycle of Solar system rebirth and evolution, followed by the planets and their
continued evolutions, to finally culminate with the further evolution of man on
an even higher level of consciousness.
Another way of looking at it, is to ask the question; How can a single ray of
zero-point force radiated from a single point source of infinite spinergy of
absolute immaterial space ever stop its impelled motion in such a space that
has zero resistance? It's like asking, when and where does a single photon
ejected from a stellar point source end its journey through interstellar space?
So, how can the ray of human consciousness being the zero-point the center
of its monadic fields, ever cease its journey before it circles back to its
original source in the spinergy of the Solar System or the Cosmos itself that
originally radiated it? Can one know how long that takes without knowing how
long the system that radiated it lives? And, is it possible to imagine how a
zero-point of absolute empty space which has to be located at the center of any
triune rotating field created by a ray of zero-point motion expelled from the
rotating zero-point spinergy of that space, can ever change any aspect of its
being other than angular direction and momental force of its spin? And,
this, apparently, would have to be a conscious act. Even changing the direction
of a light ray on a predetermined path would require the conscious placement
of a mirror or refractor by an external operator.
Thus, since the zero-point of individual self consciousness at the Monad
field's center cannot change, it remains conscious after death, with the previous
lifetimes of memories stored in its surrounding field remaining intact and
accessible by the more or less eternal zero-point of awareness as long as those
fields continue to exist.
The reason we can't access these past life memories easily in our next life,
I would assume using the same logic, is that the lower fields that are newly
formed (along with the growth and development of the brain-body from conception
to birth and up to around 3-4 years of age) that represents our sensory
efferent and afferent systems that ultimately take over the full attention of our
awareness and will and drown out all higher orders of memory storage. Also,
since those past life memories in the Monad fields are of a much finer
vibrational patterns and lower energy -- probably because of the disparity in diameter
and surface area of these fields as well as the differences between their
zero-point center spinergy's -- such past life memories become overpowered by the
gross experiential sensory images the developing body encounters... Until,
at some time in our lives, we begin to wake up and start meditating on the
real questions of, "Who am I, Where did I come from, Where am I going, and How
long will it take to get there????" :-)
Thus, the past life memory remains unheard and unseen by the individual
consciousness -- except in the deepest and most concentrated meditative states,
when all the outer and inner sense mechanisms are turned off. When in the
waking state, such a condition would be like trying to hear someone talking who is
standing behind a radio loudspeaker between you both that is speaking at the
same volume, but much closer to your ears.
All in all, I think this model explains these subjectively perceived time
disparities at different levels of awareness in waking, dream, after death, and
meditative trance states -- along with all the other hard problems of
consciousness -- simply, clearly and parsimoniously ... While being entirely consistent
with proven theories of science, from relativity to QED... And, at the same
time, resolving all their incompatibilities, paradoxes and indeterminacy's
noted at their interface between the zero-point and the quantum particles.
In addition, not only explaining the possibilities of almost every reportedly
experienced psychic phenomena as well as ASC, and NDE -- ABC gives credence
to the mathematics of string and M theories postulating the existence of
multidimensional hyperspace fields within, around and between all physical particles
and metric space in this "space-time-continuum"... Implying, as I see it,
that each altered state or level of consciousness, whether waking, dreaming or
after death, relates to a different space-time continuum with different time
constants in conjunction with all other functions governing the properties of
such coadunate but not consubstantial hyperspace-time continuums.
Therefore, it becomes obvious that the zero-points in each level of such
existent realities are forever entangled or coterminous with each other in
absolutely empty (of substance) primal space -- which must be infinitely divisible
and infinitely expandable... Thereby, giving that absolute beginning infinite
possibilities of expression and impression in accord with fundamental laws of
cycles and periodicity based on original spin, and demystifying all eastern and
western transcendental, metaphysical and religious philosophies and theologies
with respect to their miracles, personal god-creators, and vicarious
atonement's, etc., etc.
