What if so-called death were a sanctioned time for celebrating?
Taken from Diane and Molly:
At a certain point, God says the following to Diane:
.....
Diane, what if you had grown up in world where, when someone left their body, the whole world would rejoice. What if so-called death were a sanctioned time for celebrating? Fireworks would go off. There would be splendid celebrations, and banners would read: "Dear one, until we meet again."
....
This really went home, it did hit my heart and mind deeply: What would be if we grew up this way ? How different could we have experienced the losses we have ? How could this have affected our future life and how does it affect our future life reading this now and let it go down to our heart, to the core of our being ?
I think it makes all the difference.
all my love

I know that if this belief
I know that if this belief of rejoicing when someone transitions to the 'other side' was accepted and practiced worldwide then more of us would have peace when we experience death first hand. My mom passed on April 9,2005 suddenly and some people were shocked at how 'well' I was taking it. I was raised by a spiritually grounded soul and for this I am thankful. Although my physical body experienced a loss which was accompanied by some level of grief, my spirit KNEW that this was sanctioned and was not the end but a new phase of life for me and her. THANK YOU SPIRIT!
Dear Nurvahnah, many thanks
Dear Nurvahnah, many thanks for bringing your personal experience. I am glad that spiritual up bringing did benefit you in this particular moment.
The thought also arised out of chats with friends. In recalling such moments, most of them said that it was not the loss in itself, surely connected with pain and grief, but what made the experience so difficult and tragic were mostly the behaviour and reactions of all the people involved in it. This really made me think a lot.
Love and Blessings to you dear.

You are both so right. The
You are both so right. The pain of the loss exists only in our mind. The Spirit KNOWS that there is no space and time and therefore no separation between life and "death". Actually, there is no such thing as death. Death is a dimensional transition, a vibrational change. The deceased still exists but is invisible to us, as electricity or magnetism is. We can't see or smell electricity, but it exists and that is what is faith about :To believe in the invisible.
Thank God, the time has come that death is not an inevitable fact. We can choose to leave without dying or we can choose to live eternally, if we like, for eternal we are!
So true and beautiful what
So true and beautiful what you said dear Maria.

Highly relevent topic Berit.
Highly relevent topic Berit. Good that you brought it up. Several thoughts came to mind. If I may share my experience...
When doing meditation workshops, one of the topics that came up was death. In the light of yoga (the word yoga here is used in respect to all forms of practise/disciplines that lead to soul awareness) all beliefs are referred to as modifications of the mind.
"Yogas citta vritti nirodha" can be translated as: "Yoga is the removal of the modifications of the mind."
The concept proposed to the students went like this..."If you grew up on this island where all the islanders would have a celebration ceremony whenever one of their fellow villagers left their body, would you perhaps think of death as a continuum of life? Would death be just another stage of life?"
We went on with questions like;
"Could it be that my impression of death is a result of social programming?"
"Is it possible that the pain and sadness arises from my attachment?"
"Maybe sadness and loss results from my own fear of that inevitable day?"
"Who is it that feels pain and loss after the death of a loved one?"
"Is it possible that if I looked at death from a new vista/perspective, I would embrace life more?"
In this system of yoga we replace repressive modifications of the mind with modifications that cultivate state of well being, peace, calmness, equanimity...conditions that are more favourable for soul awakening. Steadiness of mind is developed. Eventually the yogi can overcome stronger modifications like gravity and the concept of matter being solid.
Energetically there are certain connections that develop between individuals. When someone dies these connections are abruptly broken, which has an emotional/psycological effect on the individual who is unaware of these connections. These connections occur between, what is referred to as chakras in the yogic system, of the individuals.
With steadiness of mind, one may go within in meditation and heal these broken connections.
One who is deeply connected to Spirit, can heal and release these emotions with a single thought...or in a blink. Such a person will also have an effect on those in mourning. When this person walks into the funeral home, their unwavering steady connection will raise the vibration of all those present.
THERE IS NO DEATH! ‘There
THERE IS NO DEATH!
‘There is no death. Of what are you afraid? You may look upon an empty shell – like the shell of a chrysalis – and say: ‘This is death!’ No [this is not death; it is rebirth and life]; life continues. Life always is, always has been, and always will be. We [your guides from the world of light], who are fully conscious of having passed the great initiation called death, come to you having crossed the bridge of love, a bridge partly created by the love you have given. God, the Great Spirit, has so created you and your bodies – your physical and your higher bodies – that you have the power within you to commune with those you love in the world of spirit. You have material available for the construction of this bridge between the world [your physical world] and the higher ethers. We come to you and you may also learn to come in full consciousness to us.
‘In your earthly life you can be builders, together with your companions of your spirit, of a bridge between your state of life and the higher life. When humankind has accomplished this task in full consciousness, it will know that the Angels and Saints, the great army of the brethren of the Star, are with them to inspire and help them in all their tasks on the Earth. This does not mean shifting your earthly responsibilities onto the companions of your spirit. It means you putting the Divine law into operation first. Some people [seem to] think that they can sit back and let God and the Angels do the work. Oh, no! Humankind is here to learn a series of vital spiritual truths, and they can only be learnt through your own daily experiences. [You have to learn to do and act with love; merely saying so is not good enough.]’

WunLuv and Aquarius, I
WunLuv and Aquarius,
I loved your replies on the topic! You shed a lot of light on the most dreaded issue :"death". My beloved teacher, Kryon says that this widespread fear about death is cultivated on purpose because if people knew how liberating is death experience for the soul, everyone would want to die! All beaches would be empty now :big
I think all replies are
I think all replies are wonderful, they reveal the great thruth, beyond time and space, and what has been written is deeply felt I think. It's like lifting a veil and see our coming and going for what it is in reality, a change of dimension, shifting of energy and vibration and all is really ONE and eternally connected and in comunion.
Wow, what a Heaven family !!
All my love

I do agree with all who have
I do agree with all who have written. There is no such thing as 'death'.........just a transitiion and the death is of the body.
However, love and attachment to another being both in human body form is real. Those who leave and transition to another way of being can see and still be with ones who are still in body...........so even though they might miss the way they were in body and in life here with other, they are ok and of course, can know the bigger picture and know no limits and no time and breathe only love.
The ones here who stay and have to adjust to the new way of relating to their loved ones who have transitioned, it is a journey of lonliness and longing.
Others in body do not want you to keep talking as if you still are having a wonderful relationship with your passed over loved one. So you have to keep it secret. You doubt it more from time to time because of this general conditioning that you should move on and accept and not talk of them once a period of time has passed and you should no longer be grieving in the societies mind set.
If we have to adjust to our parents when they pass over..............you are suppose to accept it and you can talk of them but not as if they are still in existence.
If you have to adjust to our brothers or sisters it is the same unless they were very young and that goes with the accepting of adjusting to a child who has finished and passed over...........
it is acceptable to grieve longer for a child. We let people have that comfort and give them sympathy for the loss of a child but still..........after a period of time, you are expected to not talk of them so much and it is not allowed or frowned upon to talk as if you talk to them or hear or feel from them still.
If you have to adjust to a spouse and love it is the same.........a period of time and then not only do others not wish you to speak as if they are still in existence.......so you have to do so secretly, and you should not dwell on the life you had together.........but after a period of time, especially if you are a certain age in life, you are even expected and it is looked upon positively, for you to find another spouse or love.
No parents are expected to be replaced. No child is expected to be replaced. No sister or brother is expected to be replaced. However, a spouse , a love, a husband is very much so expected to be replaced.
No there is no death..........but there are people who have to learn to live a different way when a person they love leaves their body and transitions and they have to learn to do this with limited support from the world around them.
This is my opinion.
I am adjusting to my love who left his body 31 months ago in human time
You have said so many truths
You have said so many truths here, dear. yes, each person and society in general always puts the rules and limitation which we are supposed to follow. I think most people try to avoid speaking directly of such things because they are embarrased, they don't know how to deal and what to say to an important and vital experience like this. They just don't know what to say or do.
No one expects you to replace your love, dear, follow your own way and don't worry of what people might expect of you. it's your life and you have every right and say to schedule your own timings and decisions, what ever this might be. If you feel like it, look out for people who are ready to walk with you in friendship, to walk with you in this particular moment a bit more closer to you.
My love reaches out you dear, wrapping you up softly and holding you tight in God's never ending light.
Love and blessings to you dear
Berit
Mirror, what you wrote
Mirror, what you wrote touched me very much. I wanted you to know that.
We are sure called on for great courage. It is almost three years for you.
Somewhere in a Heavenletter, God says that, in death, the relationship is not over but continues. He further said that in those cases where a relationship, despite the love, has been difficult, all the difficulty can be resolved even after one of the people's death.
I think every comment posted here is remarkable.
With love and blessings,
Gloria
