Death doesn't exist
Henry Van Dyke reminds us that "some people are so afraid to die that they never begin to live." Writers, artists, painters, sculptors, teachers and open thinkers evolve to believe death is one of the most exciting revelations of your life. What they say and create on Earth reflects this. Are humans are on a cyclical journey to learn to deal with issues they were unable learn?
Deepak Chopra draws from parables he learned during childhood to explain how death as a concept seemed to emerge to temper human desire to crave permanence. According to Chopra, "death itself was seen as a brief stopping point on an endless soul journey that could turn a peasant into a king and vice versa." He implies that we leave our earthly bodies at pre-destined times, release emotions, and come back again later in different forms to learn new lessons.
Do we have the possibility of experiencing infinite lifetimes and experiences that invite us into limitless adventures? Eastern and Western cultures as well as a multitude of religions offer their views in texts. We exist on different levels of consciousness. We understand different vibrations and frequencies. The underlying consensus is beliefs and perspective determine our experiences. What if we only think we expeirence a three-dimensional world and it really far more complex?
It has been asserted death is a set of phases, or states of becoming re-oriented with heightened awareness. Heaven and hell are considered self-created illusions that we imagine to reward or punish ourselves for things we have done or not done. Humans will become astute observers of their finished lives and come to understand what they were supposed to learn and what isn't real.
If, at the core, humans are pure energy, death may be a period where we change form again. In this case, death would represent a doorway through which we would pass in a kind of transition. As openings symbolize opportunities, this movement would be a chance to expand and create experiences, a chance to be guided by thoughts, visions and sensations you may have forgotten.
Neale Donald Walsch suggests that in death, hope will actully be the "doorway of belief, belief is the doorway to knowing, knowing is the doorway to creation, and creation is the doorway to experience." And so, hope will determine what you think you know, experience and express.
