We live most of our life thinking that death is a horrible problem. We either repress it or we try to pack as much “living” into the time that we have. We think that we are in a race against time and have to pack in as much sensory enjoyment as possible before we die.
However, the sense of finite time is part of the illusion of this 3-D world and we have nothing to fear in death. We are eternal beings and dying is merely a process of going home.
Our concern instead should be that we fail to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity in the present to advance our growth as spiritual beings–of not fully engaging ourselves in meeting our life’s challenges and opportunities to the fullest.
