How To Rise Above The Fear of Death
How To Rise Above The Fear of Death
And Realize There is No Death
Are You Going Through The Profound Loss In Your Life?
Whenever you suffer a profound loss in your life, such as the loss of material possessions, your home, the Death of your loved one, a close relationship, or your status and physical abilities, you experience a significant decrease in your sense of self. As if a part of us dies too. You might also experience a feeling of being lost and uncertain. When something you’ve unconsciously identified with as part of yourself disappears, it can be tremendously painful, leaving a gaping hole in your existence.
How to Process Pain & Sadness of The Loss!
Don’t neglect the pain and sadness you feel in these situations. Just go deeper into the pain and feel those emotions within yourself. While feeling emotions, DON’T let it turn them into dysfunctional thoughts. Be wary of the mind’s inclination to fabricate a story around the loss, with you as the helpless victim.
Fear, anger, resentment, or self-pity are the emotions that come with playing the victim. Instead, try to perceive what lies beneath these emotions and behind your mind’s story. Face and accept the sense of emptiness that may arise. With practice, you might find that this void is no longer a source of fear. Instead, you might find peace emanating from it.
Death is The Most Sacred Aspect of Life
Death is the most sacred aspect of life, and when a life form dissolves, the formless divinity reveals itself through the gap left by the dissolving form. By embracing Death and reflecting on it, we open ourselves to the peace of the divine. In contemplating and accepting the inevitability of Death, we can find a deeper connection to the Being within us and realize that we are not mind and body but an eternal Being that transcends the temporary nature of material possessions, relationships, and physical abilities.
Die Before You Die & Realize There Is No Death
The secret of life is to “die towards all mental conditioning and attachment before physical death” – and realize that there is no death. In other words: To discover eternal existence, one must experience the Death of the mind’s conditioning that identify with its material possessions, career, social standing, education, physical appearance, talents and relationships. You must also stop identifying yourself with your personal and ancestral history, belief systems, and even group identities such as nationality, race, or religion.
Once you die towards all the above temporary attachments before physical Death occurs, you will realize that there is no Death.
Owning This or That Is Ultimately Meaningless on Your Death Bed
When The Death is Near, The Whole Concept of Achievement or Owning This or That Is Ultimately Meaningless to Your True Self.
On Your Deathbed, you realize that while you were looking throughout your life for a more complete sense of security and control, what you were really looking for, is your Inner Being (Atma). The Kingdom of Heaven within.
And your Being was always there, but it was eclipsed by the identification with things and possessions. Your Being was covered by the dark shadow of your mental thoughts and concepts.
The real does not die, the unreal never lived. In death, only the body dies. Life does not; consciousness does not, and reality does not. And the life is never so alive as after death. Death is not the opposite of Life. Birth is the opposite of death. Life has no opposite as it is eternal. People are afraid to die because they do not know who they are and what death is.
You are NOT Your Mind and Body. You are the Awareness Behind it
The moment you know that you are pure awareness, you are afraid of nothing. What you call birth and death are the only transformations. You manifest again and again in many forms, for life is eternal.
Remember, none of the worldly things or forms is YOU. You are an eternal being and pure awareness. This short life on this earth does not bind you. You cannot be destroyed by weapons, fire, water, wind, or any calamity of this world.
