Death

[Mister_T]

Please read my post to "mostly harmless". Mister T, your cousin/best friend shared alot of happiness with you. If that was his nature, he wouldn't like it that you are sad right now. Please, don't dwell on his death. Dwell on his life and all of the happy times that you had together. He would want you to be happy. He is in a happier place than you. He will be even happier if you are happy. Remember he is no longer suffering. He must be thinking "Dude, this place is so cool where I am now."

I appreciate your comments. However it is still fresh and it is hard for me not to have the feeling of being robbed. Maybe as I mature I will see things in a different light. I'm unable to at the moment.

how do I see death? hmm.......as ones unltimate goal in life. and a sweet sweet release for me. to tell you the truth, i am slightly anxious to die, but the tenets i live by make it so i must live a full and as rich of a life as i can manage in order to truley appreciate death. besides, im all about balance. remember? a full and honest life means a full and honest death. hmm, quite profound that, quote me if you like.

I'm not too worried about death, it's likely there's nothing much beyond this life.

How do you see death? Do you consider it easy or hard to cope with and to accept? I am asking this question because this morning my colleague received a phone call telling him that his father had just passed away.

The way I understand it, Death is Transformation; nothing more and nothing less. Oneself has an immortal part, an Atman or Holy Spirit if you like, that binds the entirety of a spiritual Being, such as we are, together from one life and plane of existence to another. Death is change, a reconfiguration of all the constituents of Who and what you ARE. There is no need to fear it: acceptance is the key to a smooth and essential transition.

Actually, my heart aches and I feel bad right now. I know death is a must on every living soul, but what I find hard is two things: First is the seperation, I mean that you will no longer see your loved one till the day of resurrection. And the second thing is that you don't know the state of your loved one, whether s/he is in Paradise or hell.

There is no seperation: that is all in your mind. The love of your Loved Ones is bourne upon your soul and strengthens, never fades. I believe you are always fated to reunite with your beloved again.
