So how can something be more real than real?
High information density. It's a lot like going into a state of flow or being in the "Zone" put on steroids. Most people also claims to have much shorter time in their "heavenly plane" than what was actually spent on Earth plane. This isn't much different from playing a video game and realizing that you missed a meal and that it's already dark.
Buddhism (Theravada) describes 6 blissful planes (+16 planes with only sight and sound and another 4 with mind only) For the 6 blissful planes, 50 years on Earth = 1 Day and with each plane the number gets doubled. Their general maximum age also starts at 500 heavenly years which also keeps doubling. Human max age is counted as 120 Earth years.
Too bad I'm too late to resteem your post. So I'll leave with a book recommendation: Transformed By the Light: The Powerful Effect of Near-Death Experiences
And a quotes collection: https://steemit.com/@vimukthi/10-philosophical-and-spiritual-life-lessons-from-jiddu-krishnamurti-my-own-commentary-and-personal-insights-regarding-them
Happy steeming!
Very interesting about the different "planes" - thanks for the link!
