Daily Inspiration: September 9. What is Death?

The finality of death is an illusionary concept perpetuated by the ego. It does this in order to make you believe you are separate from an eternal God. The ego would say to you something like: How could someone who lives but a blink of an eye in time, and The Eternal, possibly be One? This way the ego makes you believe it is actually more logical for you to think of yourself as a part it, instead of a part of God. As always, your truth is the complete opposite of who the ego tries to convince you that you are. Your truth, your eternal loving essence, is the complete opposite of the false concept of death. Your Source is everlasting life, and you are the creation of Everlasting Life. You are everlasting life, the complete opposite of what death could ever be. That Which Is All can have no opposite. The idea of death and all it represents is simply a made up concept that we have been programmed to believe as real. Like all the ego’s lies, the fairy tale of death was made to distract us, and thus keep us out of alignment with our true nature. Today, if the fairy tale of death tries to distract you, remind yourself that you have control over your thoughts, your thoughts should not be controlling you. Take back control of your thoughts by aligning them with your loving nature. Now, aligned with the eternal instead of the temporal, become a reminder to others of the peace of mind and understanding that is also available to them. If your belief in the idea of death is not serving you, then why are you choosing to continue to support it? Let us today end our support of false concepts that don’t support our peace of mind. We, as children of the Eternal, are forever worthy of peace of mind, joy and understanding. Today, align with and allow the love within to flow. It is by doing so that you will feel your eternal connection to your Creator, Source and Foundation.  

The idea of death, if we hadn’t been programmed to believe it was so sad and tragic, would be laughable. Now, please do note, that I am in no way trying to minimize the pain, sorrow and suffering, that so many experience. I’m just saying that the more you have been taught to believe that death is real and final, the more pain you will feel. I am also in no way telling you not to feel whatever it is you think you need to feel. What I am trying to do is remind you that all of the ego’s fairy tales including that of death, are in reality, fictional in nature. If you were reading a fairy tale to your child, and it was making him or her too scared or sad, would you not just close the book and pick up another one? Maybe you would try to explain to them that it’s not real, that it’s just made up? That’s what I do with myself when I’m watching a well made horror movie. If I start really buying into it and getting a bit too scared, I don’t just scream, get up and run from the theatre. I just take a deep breath and remind myself that the story is not real. This then helps me appreciate the art form but at the same time not get so involved in the story. By doing so, I can still get to appreciate and participate in the story, without getting so involved in it. That is all death is, a story of fiction, sometimes a sad story of fiction, something a horror story of fiction, and sometimes a tragic story of fiction. Death, is always just a fictional story, because in truth all the characters in it, being eternal, can never cease to exist. Today, anytime that you feel yourself being pulled too deeply into one of the ego’s stories, simply realize what is occurring, that you are buying into a fictional tale as non-fiction. Then, bring yourself back to reality by aligning with Love’s expressions. This way you become an example to others, that their story can always be experienced in a gentler, more peaceful and loving manner.

Today, remember this: Death is not eternal, you are. You were, long before you chose to be in a body, and you will still be, long after you choose to leave it. You have free will, thus the illusion of death can be believed and defended as real. But know that which is eternal, that which is Eternities’ creation, which is truly forever you, can never, nor will ever, die. There are many ways to experience that death is not real. One of the most useful is to have an Out-of-Body experience (OBE). There are numerous books, YouTube videos, and websites dedicate to this practice. I recommend it simply because it shows you, through direct experience, what a laughable idea death, and you being your body, is. You are not, nor have ever in truth been, your body. The body that you are using is very simply a communication device, in this seeming physical world, for the soul. It is a communication device that we use for a while, but once it has served its purpose, we discard. Speak to anyone who has ever been separate form, or separated themselves from their body, and they will all tell you the same basic thing: that it is you, your eternal essence that is real, not the body, and especially not the body without you in it. If you truly desire to have a OBE it may take you a few weeks, or even months to have one, and the process itself is not free from illusionary fear. But it is worth it and useful if you are someone who needs a direct experience to know that something is truly real. Now, I am not saying to focus on having a OBE or not, or that a OBE is an important experience to have in order to remember your Oneness with God. This is simply a tool that is available to you, that I have on occasion used and found helpful.

Today, let us support with our time, focus and energy, the symbols of eternity and not those of death. Love and the sameness in our souls are symbols of unity and the eternal. Fear and the body are symbols of separation and death. Anytime we use Love’s expressions such as those of compassion, forgiveness, joy and peace, we reinforce our eternal nature, our Oneness with our All-Loving Source. Anytime we use fear’s expressions, such as those of judgment, anger and hate, we reinforce the idea of death, separate from each other and from God. The more we align with and use Love’s expressions the more real God, and less real death, becomes to us. The more we align with and use fears expressions, the more real the finality of death, and the less real our eternal Source and nature, becomes to us. Everlasting life or the idea of death, the one we choose to value most in any moment, will be the one we end up experiencing.
