They say that when we stand at the threshold of death, we can finally see our lives clearly. So one of my favorite authors, Michael Singer, put it absolutely beautifully.
“Someone can tell you that you are not your body, death shows you. Someone could remind you of the insignificance of the things that you cling to, death takes them all away in a second. No person or situation could ever teach you as much as death has to teach you. The question is, are you going to wait until that last moment to let death be your teacher, or are you going to live life from the deepest part of your being? Live as if you only have one more day to live. How much love can you give to the people you love, knowing it would be the last time you’d get to be with them? What if you lived like that every moment with everyone.”
I got to experience death in many ways throughout my life, and the worst part for me was not knowing how to process the feelings of loss, and knowing that even if someone dies, they will still be with you, in every cell of your body. Sometimes you can even see and hear their presence after they have passed which is not only mystical but also exhilarating.
We have to die in order to be reborn. I'm not afraid of dying, but I am afraid of not having lived my life fully and not being healthy. Although no one truly has experienced death until the day it comes, there were years of my life where I felt “dead” in my Body, Mind & Spirit and that was a terrible feeling.
Death is a natural part of regrowth, and our bodies are a means to move, taking one step after another forward until it becomes still and can rest. Our bodies have assisted us for so many years so honor it now instead of when it’s under ground. Particles of flesh and bone merged together into one mass of energy, to perhaps be used for our next life to live.
I have learned to appreciate death instead of being afraid of it, because from it comes life, and something new. How can we not see that as something beautiful..
If we have a loved one that is sick or dying, don’t wait to spend time with them, or be afraid to see them. Try to express your true self openly and honestly instead. For example, I always wondered why we honor, appreciate, show our respect and love to people more after they died than when they were alive?
We might only have one life, so give it your all before the next life takes over. ( If there is one ) Express your love and gratitude to everyone before it’s too late.
