Living After Life , an explanation of Death
_"Death means dying to the physical world. It also means being born into the spirit world. When we are born into this physical world, we fall asleep and forget who we really are. When we are born into the spirit world, we awaken and remember who we really are." ~ Edgar Cayce~
The English dictionary defines death to be the act of dying; the end of life; the total and permanent cessation of all the vital functions of an organism. In spirit it is when the silver etheric cord that connects our spirit to our body is severed. This can occur as a result of many scenarios such as the physical body no longer functioning, murder, suicide, accident. When our physical body dies our spirit embarks on its journey “home”. Death is part of an Agreement we made before coming to life in the Physical, we agreed on our death and the timeline of which it will occur based on Spiritual Agreements with others as well as whether our journey has been completed. I believe that in order to really look at death one must look at life because death is part of the Life’s cycle, it is part of the journey that creates our experiences and our memories. Although our bodies are created in the wombs of our mothers our life in spirit was created far before. In the Tibetan Buddhist religion it is common to talk about death and accept it as part of life, in western civilizations the word death becomes taboo almost as if you said it to loud it would appear before you like the plague. How can we truly accept death if we are never taught anything positive about it. It is only considered a loss or a traumatic experience to not only the person who has died but to all that he or she has left behind. If we followed some ancient traditions on death we would be able to welcome the transition and flow more easily from our physical world to that of heaven because we would not fear the unknown and we would realize that if we lived our lives as pure with love and forgiveness as we can we would be able to transition with peace and our families as well as ourselves would be able to let go of our physical beings and know that our lives do continue.
