- Conversations with God, Book 3

You cannot. For you are life itself. And life cannot not be life. Therefore you cannot die. So, at the moment of your death what happens is... you go on living. This is why so many people who have "died" do not believe it—because they do not have the experience of being dead. On the contrary, they feel (because they are ) very much alive. So there's confusion. The Self may see the body lying there, all crumpled up, not moving, yet the Self is suddenly moving all over the place. It has the experience, often, of literally flying all over the room—then of being everywhere in the space, all at once. And when it desires a particular point of view, it suddenly finds itself experiencing that. If the soul (the name we will now give to the Self) wonders, "Gee, why is my body not moving?" it will find itself right there, hovering right over the body, watching the stillness curiously. If someone enters the room, and the soul thinks, "Who is that?"—immediately the soul is in front of, or next to, that person. Thus, in a very short time the soul learns that it can go anywhere—with the speed of its thought. A feeling of incredible freedom and lightness overtakes the soul, and it usually takes a little while for the entity to "get used to" all this bouncing around with every thought. If the person had children, and should think of those children, immediately the soul is in the presence of those children, wherever they are. Thus the soul learns that not only can it be wherever it wants with the speed of its thought—it can be in two places at once. Or three places. Or five. It can exist, observe, and conduct activities in these places simultaneously, without difficulty or confusion. Then it can "rejoin" itself, returning to one place again, simply by refocusing.” - Conversations with God, Book 3
