In reply to the discussion: If not Heaven and not Hell... [View all]Newest Reality
(12,712 posts)Glad to see you have inquired into it and applied your own insights. Sounds very open and freeing from the way you express that. I do feel that examining death holds keys to life, particularly in a culture where the reality of it is denied and put aside. We are immersed in news and entertainment regarding deaths, but that is so far removed from being there, in the midst of it, or being about to experience it.
When someone we know dies and there is a funeral, we get to "view" someone who has their hair done, make-up and and looks dressed for a fun night out. Then the cover is shut and we deal again with concepts.
Ah, but the dust and ashes are what an immense Universe is made of, ey? Trillions and trillions of particles flowing dynamically in an unimaginably vast expanse of space and coalescing into everything and anything. Of course, other than the early atomic theory of Democritus, they had no words for atomic and sub-atomic particles in the old days and Quantum Mechanics was but a mote in God's eye.
Enjoy your freedom and may it lead to a really great liberation beyond words.
