The mechanics of the afterlife are explored through the "tunnel to the garden" motif, a transition phase found across diverse cultures including ancient Egypt and South Asia. Analysis of Elizabeth Krohn’s book, Changed in a Flash, co-authored with Jeffrey Kripal, suggests that incarnation is an optional choice rather than a mandatory cycle of suffering as depicted in some Buddhist traditions. The spirit world is described as an eternal state where souls can choose to fold back into human timelines for specific missions, such as "bounce missions" involving short-lived infants.

Carlwood expands on Jason Quitt's theory of astral abductions, noting that many people may be unaware they are out of their bodies during high-strangeness events. He cites the case of Elizabeth Krohn, who was struck by lightning and did not realize she was in an out-of-body state until she saw her own lifeless form. Carlwood concludes that alien encounters are likely more closely related to shamanism and the astral plane than to physical extraterrestrials from outer space.

Near-death experiences, specifically that of Elizabeth Krohn, suggest that outside of the physical body, time can be navigated like a spatial dimension. This "cake-slice" view of time allows access to any point in the past or future simultaneously, a phenomenon also reported during deep Ayahuasca ceremonies. These experiences reinforce the idea that the future is not strictly predestined but exists as a dimension accessible through the "upper world."
