Every minute you breathe, someone else is struggling to do so. Every minute, someone dies. We lead our little sorry lives so carefully, so protected, in such fear. Of what? Of death.
Death. What is death?
We die. It's a natural part of life. But to answer all these questions we must ask more: What is life?
Life, we exist, then we are born a screaming tiny helpless baby. From that moment on, we must struggle our whole lives to continue existing in this form. But why?
Well ladies and gentlemen, we constantly wish to evade death. We perceive death as another realm, something evil, something scary and new and we don't know what to expect. It seems dark, horrid, terrifying that this "force" will drag us away from our loved ones in this realm to another, one where there are fewer rules. One where we may meet our ruler/creator/master, or we may meet our eternal doom. In exact words, our life is no longer ours to control.
We spend every second fearful of this "event", this "force" and we try to evade it for as long as possible. But we are wrong in doing so. For the moment, when I say death, think of natural deaths such as heart attacks, lung disease, old age, cancer...
(I shall come to deaths such as suicides, car crashes, murders etc. shortly)
So, we feel we must evade this. We watch over our children like eagles and they get sick, we freak. Of course we do. It's a natural response. But we do not understand death anymore. I believe we once did. But that view has become corrupted and tainted. Let me explain.
What if, death is not the end, but merely the beginning of a journey? What if death is "ascension" ?
To specify, Ascension is:
The act of rising to a higher or important level
So, most believe (usually religious) (but sometimes people from the scientific community) that ascension is becoming of a higher form, a higher being or consciousness. In my theory, I believe this "occurrence" this "process" is when your being/soul/spirit becomes of a higher form, to what may be considered a deity or "demi-god" to those very religious.
So, in my theory, death is this process occurring. We are in the process of dying and - in my beliefs and in this theory of mine, Monolatry (the acceptance of the existence of many gods and deities but the worship of one deemed solely worthy of worship) we have somehow fallen from God or he has chosen to cast us down to this world which is a test of our loyalty and purity of heart. So, we are given this test and when he deems us ready for the main test - the pain of death is what this ultimate process is. He picks people (the ones we know to be dying) as they in his eyes have completed something or some task unknown to us all. Or perhaps he sees something about them that they are strong enough. Our ultimate test is being put through physical pain for death. Our body begins to shut down, rid us of human restrictions such as sustenance (the need and ability to drink, intake food), swallow, breathe, pass waste. We are in fact becoming less weak. We are becoming something more than human.
So if we successfully die, we are ready and pure of spirit and mind to be God's chosen people. We then are ascended into more complex beings. Some may say deities, some gods, angels, ghosts.
So, what happens if we do not die naturally?
Well, if we take snippets of religious texts (periods in history will always have laws/opinions that corrupt these texts such as women were looked down upon) God looks poorly on suicide. We are not supposed to take our own life. Perhaps because he does not deem us fit enough for this test. It's like sitting an exam you haven't studied for, a subject you've never been taught. The same if you are murdered, killed in a car accident, etc. Your spirit is not ready to be tested. So where do these beings go when they have ascended? Because they have not ascended properly as they were not ready. So what does God do in this predicament?
We've all heard of Purgatory or Limbo. I never believed these to be separate personally. Others do, but going with my theory, they are one. Its a place where these souls that were not yet ready for God's ultimate test of faith are put, until they are ready. The inner workings of this, I have not quite yet figured yet. Leave that for another post someday when I'm struck by another brilliant epiphany.
A good question in this is:
What if we murder?
Referring back to another snippet of religious text, the story of Cain and Able. You don't really need to know the inner workings of the story apart from they were brothers and Cain killed Able. He was "the first man to kill" But there is an odd thing that God says afterwards. Before this event, no person has heard of murder, known the consequence (that person dying) etc. So, then God says something along the lines of but if any man is to kill Cain (for killing Able) he shall die 7 times over. Bit of an odd thing to say. Actually it's not. Think about it. Before Cain killed Able, the only deaths were of old age, or of eating poisonous food etc. So God was the one dishing out the tests. Until Cain did the unthinkable. So as an example now to humanity he said I don't want anyone doing what he just did. And if you do, He's punishing murderers to (reincarnation I think) have to pass his test 7 times over. They have to experience 7 times the pain. They also must endure 7 lifetimes and pass the test 7 times before God will deem them fit.
Of course, if you accidentally hit someone with your car because they stepped off the pavement at the wrong time or something, that is not murder, its accidental death. I believe it would be considered the same as suicide. Only no ones fault, just clumsiness on both sides. This is not to say that medicines and doctors and surgery is all bad. But searching for eternal life will only bring about more pain and pain of all kinds. We do not permanently belong in this realm. We are destined to leave it, like a bird is destined to leave its nest and fly.
Overall, we should not fear death. It is irrational to shelter ourselves and try to desperately to live here in this realm as long as possible, as healthy as possible, as far from death as possible. But this is not what was meant for us. We should embrace death as our companion, something special like a sort of retirement. When we are ready, God (or whatever you wish to call this force) will select us to test our purity of spirit and heart. So when we are ready and succeed in ascending to him, this is a good thing, we have proved loyal and good enough to be one of his chosen people.
We must live in this realm as happy and free as possible. And strive to get to that point where we will be ready for such a great thing. And then we will move into another realm, to live our lives as higher energies, higher beings in a place where hopefully, our suffering has ended for good.
