I get a kick out of audio clips and thought I would include a few apt examples.

From Hollywood Download may take awhile so be patient. (327 KB) This clip is by John Wayne and Lauren Bacall. It is taken from the movie- "The Shootist," in which Wayne plays a man dying of cancer. This was Wayne's last movie... before he died of cancer. (92 KB) Dying process has taught me that all people are equal... period. In fact, we are more than merely equal, we are the same. Working with the dying has convinced me that all people are connected in a way that is not immediately apparent in the physical realm. This clip comes from the movie "Gettysburg" and is a soliloquy spoken by Kevin Conway who portrays an Irish Sergeant in the Union Army.
(59 KB Old Amarante in, "The Milagro Beanfield War," says this while talking to an angel. It suggests how our ignorance sometimes acts as a protective shield.
(49 KB) "The Shootist" is a rich source of audio clips apropos to dying process. In this one, James Stewart (the doctor) says a line which is typical of how many physicians feel about discussing death.
(26 KB) From "The Shootist": JW expresses a sentiment common to the dying who are frequently surrounded by people bent on avoidance. (121 KB) From "The Shootist": JW expresses a common sentiment of the dying... it has to do with loss of independence.
(31 KB) From "The Shootist": JW expresses another sentiment common among the dying... this one can be difficult to articulate. (62 kb) I get asked this question too, and like Michael's response (from the movie, "Michael.") (250 KB) One final clip from the movie "Michael" in which Michael (John Travolta) recites a melancholy soliloquy. While life on earth has its hardships and difficulties we certainly do form an attachment to our Earth Mother. ^^^^^^^ Note: While "The Shootist" is an excellent movie filled with poignant dialogue, it portrays dying process as being painful and demeaning. That may have been true in 1901, but modern medicine has changed that situation entirely. No one today should have to face a painful dying process. |
By Scientists These audio, or .wav Clips were taken from "Beyond Death," an excellent program produced by A&E. These files are quotations by various experts on topics germane to death and dying. Note: As you can see from the number of kilobytes (kb) in these clips, download may take awhile... but they are well worth the wait if you are interested in the nature of consciousness.
