Re: understanding death
Thanks for starting this thread Mudra and all who contributed.
Much wisdom here.
Like others have said here I believe we are in a very special moment in the evolution of mankind. Where it is taking us I don't know.
It may well be the last incarnation in human form for many of us. I hope so.
Those who have had out of body experiences tell a uniform story so for sure we exist without a body.
As has been said the ultimate death is death of the ego.
I believe that the moment of death is set at birth so there is no need to worry about that, enjoy life to the full.
Be kind to all life including your own no matter what---- for you are being kind to yourself.
Eckhart rarely speaks of ultimate truth but points to it.
One Eckhart quote from memory so it is probably not exact.
" There never was anyone there to do anything to you"
I cant remember the exact context so it can be understood in different ways.
It can be thought of as our view point of an enemy is just perceptual.
I prefer to see it from the concept of there being only the ONE. without second.
