After we die?……
Shyam rokka[Israel
true reality of death
Most of us at some point finally
get around to writing a will so
that our assets and property will be
distributed the way we want, after we die.
But what about the essence of who we are?
How do we leave those we love,
with a sense of our values, our wisdom,
our ideas, our reflections of life and,
finally, our blessings to them?
The fear of death,
which is the fear of permanent loss,
of permanent separation, fear of the unknown,
often caused by indoctrinated untruths,
is a reality in people’s lives.
Death is known as a permanent and
irreversible biological state.
However, science has not been
able to fully define death,
let alone understand it.
Doctors use terms such as
‘clinical death’,
’brain death’ and ’standstill’,
yet it is clear from the scientific evidence
that death is still very much
a mystery in scientific circles.
The fear of death traumatises the greater
part of humanity and causes many unwanted problems.
It reduces the quality of life of individuals.
And this is because society, generally speaking,
has been negligent in its education of people
regarding this aspect of their lives.
There is abundant anecdotal, historical,
metaphysical, philosophical, psychiatric and
scientific evidence, which is increasing daily,
of the continuation of consciousness after physical death.
Surveys of those who have suffered episodes
which have been labeled
‘Near Death Experiences’
’Out-Of-Body- Experiences’
are being published regularly and they clearly
demonstrate the loss of fear of physical death in people
who experienced and acquired an understanding
of the metaphysical and spiritual
significance of dropping the outer shell, that is,
of dying physically,
and of undergoing a natural process which,
I believe, we have all undergone many times,
due to the process of reincarnation.
Courage in the face of death is useless.
Death can only be faced
with the proper knowledge,
which gives faith,
confidence and joy.
With such knowledge,
fear is transmuted into
true awareness and into acceptance
of a natural process.
Just as all ancient sacred texts talk about
the survival of consciousness beyond physical death,
all religions base their concept of the soul
upon that entity which outlives the body.
All true spiritual Masters have said that
consciousness is distinct from the physical
and survives the death of the body.
Hence, why do some doubt that it should be so,
especially after an examination of the evidence,
which is available from medical research,
and other investigations of this generation?
In reality, the soul’s dwelling in the material
body deludes it so much that it thinks
‘I can live on material food,
stand on earth and enjoy material surroundings.
Without these I am nowhere and nothing.’
So whatever the consciousness sees …
it recognizes with Itself.
The soul then wants everything to be nice and
pleasant for its comfort and vanity …
and all through its life it is in pursuit of these things.
Then when death comes, the entire edifice crumbles.
Its collected property is taken from it.
This is a very great disappointment.
It loses all that it took interest in.
This ‘disappointment ‘ is the only death there is,
for the body is nothing but a covering put
over the soul and when it is gone,
we are not dead.
It is just like we are still alive,
when our coat is worn out or someone tears
our shirt!
The body still remains intact it only requires
a new garment now!
This, in essence, is the true reality of death.
