DEATH, THE GREAT ILLUSION

When someone we love dies we believe that a tragedy has occurred. Not perceiving that that moment of bliss and ecstasy which we call 'death' is a continuum of life, we feel that 'God' or one's 'Soul' has no caring, no compassion and certainly no loving of the Source of all life and consciousness. We are blind to the love behind and within all creation. Death is the Great Illusion. Even the most enlightened saints would grieve the departure of someone they loved, but their grieving would be short-lived. They would know that anyone we love in this present experience we will most certainly encounter when we ourselves have withdrawn from the physical plane.

If you find that you cannot get over your grief there is something very wonderful, and practical, that you should do. Before going to sleep ask the personality for whom you are grieving to comfort you in the sleep state then send that person all love you are capable of experiencing. Go to sleep without taking a chemical lobotomy. No tranquilliser, no sleeping tablet. You may have no memory of what occurs during sleep but the effect is profound. Keep sending your love.

In a letter to his friend, Valerius, whose son had died, Appolonius of Tyana (born c.20AD) wrote: "There is no death of anyone, except in appearance just as there is no birth of anyone except in semblance. The change from being to becoming seen to be birth, but in Reality no one is ever born, nor does one ever die.

It is a serious thing that a man should be mourned when he has passed from Man to God by change of state, and not by destruction of his nature."

Like Valerius we are all in the process of learning to understand our true nature. We are not our bodies, but Pure, Eternal Spirit focused intensely within the body to explore and take responsibility for our own individual and collective creations. It is a learning process.

That which we call 'life' is an endless voyage of self-discovery and creation. It is the most exciting voyage in an infinite Universe. Despite the false ego's concepts of suffering, it is meant to be fun.

You have never been abandoned, you have never been unloved. Because of who and what you really are, you were born in a state of Grace and you will die in a state of Grace; and nothing you do shall ever remove you from that Grace.

If you do not understand that, you do not understand the nature of unconditional love.
