F.: [An e-mail was received this morning from a man who really believes in death and who really believes that he can die. How arduous a task, to try to negotiate the relative existence with beliefs such as those! The posting selected for today is apropos, as are the pointers about "death" in one of the featured books following this post.]
#86: [Regarding "death"] “Chief Two Hawks continued to guide Kirk through the labyrinth of faulty concepts that comprised the protégé’s mind, saying, ‘The breath combines with the universal air, and the body elements combine with their fellow elements, dust to dust. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, so [at the moment that people call "death"] it merely combines with the field of consciousness as the elements combine with the field of elements and the air combines with the field of air. Do you not see, therefore, that there is no beginning, no middle, nor any ending but that there is only a continuum of cyclings?” [Excerpt, p. 191 from The Twice-Stolen Necklace Murders]
CONSIDERATION: For thousand and thousands of years, humanity was in touch with the cycles. It is known that body cycles can be measured via biorhythmic tracking. It is known that on a larger scale, lives have four-year cycles that run very much like spring, summer, fall and winter. It is known that more 'life crises' come during the period when year three of a cycle ends and one enters into the fourth year of a cycle. (Divorce rates are higher in marriage year 7 to 8, for example, or in the 19th to 20th year of the marriage.) Only when men of religion decided that timelines--not cycles--apply did mankind begin to talk of linear explanations for existence that spoke of ‘birth-life-death-judgment-heaven-hell.’ Being out of touch with the cycles created a demand to ‘always be perfect’ and 'always be active' and 'always work, work, work’ without any cycles for rest. Are you in touch with the natural cycles and rhythms and thus flowing along though life, or are you being driven by a philosophy based in timelines that are driving you to work at life and to work at salvation [and to be miserable as a result of fears]?
F.: How unnatural is it for very intelligent humans to allow the way that they feel at this moment to be determined by myths and lies and misunderstandings that were dreamed up thousands of years ago by very ignorant humans? Please enter the silence of contemplation.

Synopsis of WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I DIE? This book offers the opportunity to shift to the next level of understanding, the level at which you come to realize that you cannot die since you were not born. Fears generally begin to fall away after reading this work. The Foreword offers this: “If you find the answer to ‘What happens when I die—what happens after the body ends?’ the result will be that the remainder of your relative existence will be marked by an incredible lightness of being. Persons addicted to chaos and beliefs will hate that possibility. Those seeking to be restored to sanity will seek the answer until it is found.”
