DEATH and DYING

• What Does That Mean?


• Letting go of things


• Could be your own body

ART of Letting Go

• Let Go Of - What You Know (The KNOWN)


• Let Go Of - The EGO


• Let Go Of - Running From Things and NOT Facing-up To Them


• Let Go Of Things That May Halt Your Progress


• Letting Go Of Things You No Longer Need (Could be your physical body)

OUT WITH THE OLD...IN WITH THE NEW

• Make Room For New Things


• The Growth Process - Where Something New Comes Into Being


• Death - Transformation of Something Old Into Something New


• A Reconstruction

DEATHs WE FACE DAILY

• An Acorn DIES To Become An Oaktree
• A Seed DIES To Become The Plant Inside
• Imperfect Version of the Self DIES To Become More Perfect Version of the Self
• GROWTH
• Learning is Like A Death. NOT Knowing Becomes Knowing
• Fear of Death - Becomes Less Fear of Death, To NO Fear - (It is a process like any other)

DEATH AS A LIFE AFFIRMING QUALITY

• Things DIE So Something New Can Take Its Place


• LOVE is the CONQUERER of Death


• One Has To REALIZE It Is ALL About LOVE


• When One LOVES All - There is NO Death


• When One REALIZES It Is ALL LOVE - There is NO Death


• Be Loving

NOTE - Until One Has The REALIZATION That He Has The Capacity to LOVE Everybody and Everything, (Love Existence Itself) - The Statement About NO Death, Will Sound Stupid and Make NO SENSE.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT

• Did I take 12 years to learn the guitar...or, did it take 12 years to get over the idea that I didn't know how to play the guitar?


• In the field of time - it takes X amount of years to know that you already know what you are wanting to know


• If ONE applies this thought to ALL things...Life Changes

DEATH as a TRANSFORMATION

• Everything That DIES, Really JUST Changes Form
• Just Because Something Can't Be Seen, Doesn't Mean It Doesn't Exist
• It Pays To Stay True
• Be LOVING

LOVE ''Shines'' - Like the Sun (A FACT)

CONSIDER THIS...
THIS ''FACT'' DOES NOT DEPEND ON HOW YOU ''FEEL''

---Love is like the Sun that shines. It shines ''all the time.'' In Astronomical Terms, the sun will shine for billions, and billions of years. This is still finite. It has a begining and end. The Sun, like all stars, will someday fizzle out.
---On the other hand we have Love. Love is Eternal. It has NO beginning, and it has NO end. We don't have to try and fathom that, but it is True. That which we call God, is Love. It is inside You and Me. When we share with one another It is some form of this Love. When a beginning or end comes into play, it is our own beginning and end, and how we conceptualize things.
---We all LOVE one another, we are just working out the details. From the perspective of the Earth, even with the Sun shining constantly, we do not see it. Because of atmospheres, we see cloud-cover of varying degrees. At night we may see the sun reflecting off the moon. [When we ''reflect,'' we see how the Love reflects off of different aspects of what we relate to.] We may be indoors and not see the sun for days. Direct sunshine may be too hot, and we seek respite behind a ''tree.'' Very few of us ''follow'' the sunshine around and only go to where the sun in shining. This seems to be an ''unstable'' life-style, anyway.
---The point is, that the Sun shines all the time, but from our earthly perspective, we may or may not be aware of this. (It is NOT shining in the picture above...but the sun is shining. We can't always see it.) It is constant, for all-intents-and-purposes, but we may not know this.

• We can't ''BLAME'' the SUN for our ''relationship'' to it, if we are ''tan'' or not. The sun shines and we ''CHOOSE'' to participate or not, a lot of times. Many cultures are based upon there location and the amount of Sun and the adjustments made to it. Granted, there are days too hot or too cold, but chances are we make the choice or have made the choice to be where we are. The sun shines always, until it fizzles.
• 
  ---In the same way, Love is always shining, but eternally. LOVE shines CONSTANTLY. We cannot BLAME the state of affairs of an individual on God, on Love. If we are NOT Loving and keep LOVE out of a situation by not-knowing or whatever, how can we BLAME LOVE for its not being very present. Our planet-side trip is one of learning, learning this if you will. We learn to ''relate'' to the CONSTANCY of this Love and how to keep it in play.
• One learns to make choices according to this Love. As with all learning, we may make mistakes along the way. No matter what it looks like planet-side, it is about learning LOVE. If it seems that One is going through a hardship, he is learning ''something.'' ALL the beings on our planet, including me, are learning, to and about, LOVE. Be Well.
