DEATH
IF You
Are 100 years of experience (commonly known as "age") AND
You are wondering, "What is death? What is death like?"
You'll love this:
We are strapped in at birth for death. We are made for it, at conception. I don't mean, we we are all totally hopelessly lost to fate.
I mean,
there is no fate
And you may think, "really?"
When I say we are strapped in for death, I mean we are perfectly made that way because, death is even better than life (at least, once you have passed through it)
If you're like me, you really like being alive though! And yet I maintain this: that after death it is even better.
Example:[!] When you scratch your arm, and old skin cells fall off, you die a bit. But it feels better. When you look to the future for inspiration, it comes from the future, where your death is but a bit beyond that even. And yet this inspiration is better thn your life was before you found it
What does this mean?
It means you can stop worrying about death completely, at least, whilst you still need to be careful to protect your life, and be safe as possible with it, you can stop worrying about death, once you consider this: You are trapped here, in your body, and while it is a vastly better thing than to not have existed, it is a stepping stone away to the next level, which is even better than this one.
This is not to say that life is not as good as it is however, just that death is not as bad as we may think it seems.
One last thing... don't die. Live. Only dead people die
The truth about death is that the soul doesn't even notice and keeps on going. To prepare for death however one needs the Maha Mantra
Hare Krsna Hare Krsna Krsna Krsna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
THE GOOD NEWS
Do you think the universe is dead? What happens when you go outside at night when the sky is clear and look up? Does it kill you? No... !
Most people agree that is peaceful and instills vital light within
You don't go inside and feel dead
You don't die because you've seen space and the universe, or because you notice it exists
You feel better
The universe contains you by definition. It is also a closed system. The atoms in your body and that house your mind are no different to those in a stone. The atoms are the same construction as those in you
If you taste a smooth stone, does it cause your tongue to die? No
There is no proof that when people "die" they simply cease to exist- whether you dissipate to infinite diffusion or, having focussed and trained your mind by mantra, discipline and sacrifice to sharpen your mind, body, spirit and soul remain coherent and just as, or even more alive than you were before because the vitals, waiting prepared and patiently coiled can transmit freely from the binding of matter through biology into the universe as it exists not as we know it with the mind, but as it really is...
correctly situated, to a well-trained mind by the universe's standards, death is IMPOSSIBLE
