Question of the Day: Day 258

Do you believe that death is the end or a transition? Does the journey continue?

A wise man said to me recently that I needed to relax about death because, "You are as dead as you are ever gonna get."

When I thought deeply about that, it made me smile and take a deep cleansing breath.

He's right.

Life is like a room. Death is walking into another room.

There is no death.

What we call death is more like birth than what we call birth. Birth, as we see it, is not end, nor the beginning of a process - it is a change in levels of dependency. What we call death is more of a definable process change, it is immediate and there is a definable line between "now here" and "not here" - but, to call what we call death an end is as silly as saying that something which becomes unseen no longer exists.

......a transition to something else that is even better than here. However, THAT is what I have been brought up to believe so who really knows??? ....hard to say waht it ireally is until we get there and see for ourselves, and really...why waste the precious time we have today worrying about it? It is inevitable....

Hmmm... if I die today, will I see tomorrow?

I believe that only the flesh, which is a mere storage-house for who we really are anyway, dies.

... only flesh like the seasons all gone by, must come to an end~ BUT the soul will never die.
Spirit is eternal.
