From the moment we are born there is only one certainty and that is death.
That makes death not so interesting because one moment you are here and the next moment you are in death, whatever that may be. We can speculate on that share ideas and other people's experiences, but that is it.
Dying is a process and it is very alive.
Some people have never been more alive than when they were dying.
Suddenly the spark of life hits them with full force. They have bodily sensations, spiritual experiences like they could never imagine before. Often their lives have been a chain of self limiting events but suddenly they see the light, they have a glimpse of how life can be. Then when they wake up at the end of their lives, they don’t want to die. This will be a process of suffering and fear.
It was Krisnamurti who said; ‘Live your life in a way that you are willing to die every day.’
Dying is a very interesting process and not only for the person who is in this transformation but also for the ones that surround him or her.
Several of my love ones have passed away, a painful experience in the beginning of letting go and accepting but I realized that there is always a present for you in the dying process of the other.
That makes it very precious to be close to the departing one and have, if possible, an open communication that has the possibility for all your fears to be allowed.
But this communication also should be open to the intense moments of deep joy that can exist in this process. Transcendental sharing of powerful love and life.
Willing to die every day is not suicidal when you live your life focused and centered in the spiritual being that is you.
Willing to die every day means that you understand that the difference between life and death is the difference between two hands that meet.
