Osama exhaled his last exhale as you and i shall too, one day…ilg needs to re-teach some fundamental Bardo Entry so that you can cut through all the non-Practictioner media;

The whole of the Bardo of Becoming has an average duration of 49 (sound familiar Christ-yogi’s?) days and a minimum length of one week.  But it varies, just as now some people live to be 100 and and others die in infancy.  some can even get stuck in the bardo, to become spirits or ghosts.  Dudjom Rinpoche used to explain that during the first 21 days of the Bardo, you will have strong impressions of your previous life, and this is therefore the most important period for the living to be able to help a dead person.   After that, your future life slowly takes shape and becomes the dominant influence.

We have to wait in the Bardo until we can make a karmic connection with our future parents.  I sometimes think of the Bardo as something as a transit lounge, in which you can wait up to 49 days before transferring to the next life.  But there are two special cases who don’t have to wait in the intermediate state, because the intensity of the power of the karma sweeps them immediately on to their next rebirth.  The first are those who have lived extremely beneficial and positive lives, and so trained their minds in spiritual practice that the force of their realization carries them directly into a good rebirth.  The second case are those whose lives have been negative and harmful; they travel swiftly dow to their next rebirth, wherever that might be…
