Your observations call to mind the first message from my grandmother, "Nothing is familiar here."
You mention preparing the mind for the transition. Like to explore world religions- from the material I've read, Buddhism (Tibetan version anyway) seems to layout a pragmatic guide to preparation for the experience itself as well as what to expect in the afterlife-
May be all wrong but- the intense focus on meditation, etc. -I think suggests learning to transcend the body(?)
Found a video produced in terms of the Tibetan Book of the Dead, really intriguing take on things. Illustrates the spirit's need for acclimating to a new situation, etc. -More about energy stuff than "lifestyle."
Whether it's "true" or not, don't know- (guess I'll see when I get there!)
