Death is a transition that many of us are either curious about almost to the point of obsession or afraid of the very mention of the word. I for one have always been of the former group. So let me share what I have learned in my many years here on earth.
Before we can understand death we must understand life. Life is a state of consciousness where you are aware of here and now. Death on the other hand is a totally different state of consciousness. The best example of this is when you go to sleep. It is said by some that when you sleep that it is a form of death and that the sleep state is a stopover between two worlds. Again the dream world is another state of consciousness where we are in touch with our soul.
If you want to know what it is like to die – go to sleep. I am sure some of you may have a differing opinion and you would be correct, because we each have our own concept of reality. Again there are some good books that go into this subject of dying and life after death. My favorite is Neale Donald Walsch’s book, Home with God in a Life that Never Ends. In this book he states that you never do die, you merely change consciousness.
If you knew that you never die, what would you do differently in this lifetime? What does change is the life experience you are having now with all its conditions, situations, limitations, and experiences. These things are changing constantly and it is our concept of who we are, our beliefs and perceptions that create this world that we see and experience. Judge not lest ye be judged is an old bible saying that fits here very well. Life is to be lived not judged good or bad.
What exactly happens when we die? It really depends on what you believe, literally. If you believe that you are going to hell for whatever reason, then this is what you will experience. Or if you believe that you are going to heaven then you will experience your version of that. Perception and belief really is king and if you ever what to know what you believe then simply look around you! You created it all.
