Spiritually, Death Isn’t The End
When you die here, you’re born there.
It is often asked, “If the universe isn’t cruel, then why does it allow so many people to die?” We think of wars as “unfair” because we assume the people in question died before their time. And yet, we must face the obvious truth: we will all die. None of us is guaranteed to live beyond today. No one is exempt. However, to the cosmic observer, it is also obvious that death isn’t bad. Death is scary to the human ego because it feels like an ending, but spiritually, death is a beginning.
Death is birth and birth is death.
Nothing in physical form is permanent. Everything is temporary. This is part of Natural Law. Everything and everyone on this plane of existence dies at some point in time. (That is precisely what makes the present moment here so precious.) To the soul, death is just a part of existence — a great transition to a new adventure.
When we die here, we are born “over there” and a whole new, wonderful life begins.
To the human, ego-based side of our consciousness, it is very sad when death takes someone who doesn’t seem to deserve it. But to the soul, it’s birth. Our small perspectives on human life limit us to only see the physical realm. It creates so much fear and sadness when we can only see a part of the whole.
We don’t often perceive the greater picture — that there is a much bigger journey of the soul. This life is just one phase of it.
Awakening is awareness.
When we die here, our friends and family mourn. And we are born to a new awakening, into a spiritual realm where we are meant to process, contemplate, and understand. It’s a wonderful place to be, without attachments to a physical form or worries that come along with that. When you are born here, you die there, and all your friends and family mourn your passing.
It is cyclical. It is divine…and it’s almost hilarious that we aren’t aware of it while we’re here.
We aren’t supposed to be aware of it — at least not from the start. Some of us awaken while…
