405. The Worst Thing To Happen To You Isn’t Death

Granted, we need to open our minds a bit here to expand our sense of spirituality and life after death.

If you do feel that nothing will happen to you after you die, I suppose that death may be the worst thing. But is it? For the most part, many people live to be in their older, if not old age. Do we not feel that time is up? Perhaps on some level we’re hurting spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically. We’ve lived our lives. The story must come to an end, as we do not have the opportunity to live another story. At least in this lifetime.

I can understand the argument that in that case, death is the worst thing. But of course, as a channeler, I do believe in life after death. In which case… death is a right of passage, and simply a blip on the radar.

Often times people believe that we only incarnate a couple of times. But based on my channeling, I feel that we’ve incarnated thousands of times, if not hundreds of thousands of times. I do believe that there are multiple dimensions or universes where it is sustainable for human life. Perhaps not in the way that we know or understand it, but our consciousness, in some way shape or form, can exist and thrive there.

So why would death not be the worst thing? It’s really our perception of it. We frame death as the “finality”. It’s over. And when we consider death and finality, we perceive that nothing precedes it. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. Death is a transition, a passage, and quite frankly, the opportunity for new. It’s similar to the sentiment that when one door closes, another one opens. Death is that closed door. If we perceive that our life is over when a door closes, well, we’re not truly ‘living” at all, even in the present moment. We are simply afraid for the perpetuation of doors closing. Btu when we have hope, faith and optimism, a door closing is simply the opportunity for something better.

So here we are back to the point. If death isn’t the worst thing to happen to you, what is? Well we could perceive that the opposite of death could be the case, but life and death are just opposite sides of one coin. But what’s outside the coin? What is outside of transition, change and doors altogether? Stagnancy.

The true irony here is that there’s a sense fo atrophy when we are stagnant. When we’ve exhausted our options, become so divorced from our authentic selves. This is in essence… a form of “death”, but not a very good one. I’m not even sure that death is an apt term, as it’s simply just a perpetual continuation fo the same stagnant story line. There’s no beginning or end… there’s just middle.

So what’s the problem living in the “middle”? To be honest… this is where most people prefer to be, as they don’t have to deal with a beginning or an end. Change can be incredibly hard but while middle may be misaligned… it’s easier. The problem is… this is hardly living, right? The image of a “corporate slave” comes to mind. Someone who’s existing, but not quite living. One could make the argument that living encompasses teh true, full range of emotion. The highs and low. I do wonder if we need this in order to have context for our peace and happiness. Do we know what peace and happiness is if we don’t have pain and suffering? I’m not sure.

The thing is. With life and death, there’s pain. But these painful moments are temporary. And our newly aligned states allow us to be on a path or a plan which can provide us this peace and happiness. While perpetually misaligned, in the “middle” while feeling dull aches and pains, mild to moderate discomfort and more, this pain and discomfort never ends. It lasts forever. We may numb ourselves to it. We may not even realize it’s there. But if we aren’t truly in a happy embrace, there’s certainly “something”. We may never have a perfect life, but a life without perpetual pain, discomfort and ache is possible and achievable. But not without a life and death cycle.

One could argue still that death is the worst thing, and there is nothing worse. But what drives this conscious thought? Is it fear of the unknown? Fear of what lies ahead? With this new found context, stagnancy doesn’t feel quite right, does it? But unfortunately for many of us, it’s a rite of passage, as well as a mandatory purgatory period while we continue to work on ourselves. Without the release of old, negative or stagnant energy, we cannot begin the life or death cycle, as our hesitancy and proactive avoidance of change is far too great for us to manage or bear. The choice is ultimately… up to you. What's your definition of life and death? And more importantly, your definition of living?
