Death is a silence of one's being

Follow Ups All I can say is "WOW"...Beautifully written...I love it. -- Nicole
death is a comfort
Death is a beginning
Death is a change of state, and they happen _all_ the time.
Death is simply the displacement of the actor from one theatrical production to the next. there is no need for closure prior to relocation. take a segment of this existence: you wake up, take an inventory of your surrroundings and realities and proceed from there. death is just the transition from one play to the next, from one game to the next. the silence comes to those who feel their relationship to the dead has been severed rather than altered. -- Carol Having taken the time to read further, I see there are guidelines suggesting personalization for the game: emotions(body & soul?) not merely the mind. So, I'll try to add the missing elements to my comments: Fifteen years ago I was partially responsible for the death of a young man. He was standing only two feet away from me when he fell into a crevasse. I roped-up and tried to assist in getting him out of the crevasse, but I made mistakes with serious consequences. I held him as he lay dying, and told him it was ok to go. A few minutes later, we got him to the surface and I tried CPR, but it was too late. Hours later, with the curtain of darkness, loud laughter came from our tent as we passed around the whiskey bottle. Our climbing partner's body was only 20 feet away. There was no silence that day- that night. Silence would have been too unbearable. Now, I see the inconsistencies between my previous comments and my actual experiences. So draw your own conclusions on how the mind processes incoming stimuli in order to protect the organism. Amen -- Carol
The first time I remember seeing something and surmising that
it was "dead" was when I was about 6 years old. I woke one
morning to find that my cat was lying outside my window, not
moving, and I seem to remember there were already ants on
her. Thus did the concept of death become an experience for
me. I would like to see a submission regarding reincarnation, and to this end will quote some recent developements of this ancient belief. First from Seth, (a being channeled by the medium Jane Roberts), who was instrumental in broadening our concept of reincarnation to include multiple universes and non-linear time. "The present idea of the soul, you see, is a 'primitive' idea that can scarcely begin to explain the creativity or reality from which mankind's being comes. You are multipersons. You exist in many times and places at once. You exist as one person, simultaneously. This does not deny the independence of the persons, but your inner reality straddles their reality, while it serves as a psychic world in which they can grow." session683
And then some quotes from "A Course in Miracles", a rather phenomenal book dictated to one Helen Schucman by an entity she accepted as being an historical Jesus of Nasareth. It also stretches the idea of reincarnation beyond our traditional understanding. "In the ultimate sense, reincarnation is impossible. There is no past or future, and the idea of birth into a body has no meaning either once or many times. Reincarnation cannot, then, be true in any real sense. Our only question should be, "Is the concept helpful?" And that depends, of course, on what it is used for. If it is used to strengthen the recognition of the eternal nature of life, it is helpful indeed." Teachers Manual P57 "And the last to be overcome will be death." Of course! Without the idea of death there is no world. All dreams will end with this one. This is salvation's final goal; the end of all illusions. And in death are all illusions born." TM p.64 --narada
I, too, experienced "death" at a young age, but I did not realize it until much later. My parents were married young, just out of college for my mom, when they had me. I remember hearing my parents yelling at each other about little things. It was then that my mother died. Her spirit had been crushed by her disaterous marriage. It's not that my dad was abusive. He wasn't. But she was forced into the marriage by her parents so her freedom of choice was crushed. I believe that we, as individuals, do know what "life" is, but in our obsession to cheat "death," we are committing ourselves to an early grave. I believe that we need to "live" for today and let tomorrow take care of itself. I really dig what you said in your post. I look forward to reading more of your submissions... -- Lori
Although I feel there is a lot to be said about reincarnation, both literally and metaphorically, in relationship to death, and that it might play well as a seperate bead within this Game, I feel strongly that the subject of reincarnation is imbedded within this beads subtext, because this bead makes me experience many feelings about the cycling of life and nature. I would like to say briefly here, within this bead, that for me reincarnation works like this: human beings are like rain drops of consciousness. When we die the rain drop merges back into the ocean of consciousness. New drops emerge containing molecules that have been in many other places. -- Robert Cohen

"The self is multidimensional when it is physically alive. It is
a triumph
of spiritual and psychological identity, ever choosing from a
myriad of
probable realities its own clear unassailable focus. . . The fact
is that
in life you poise delicately and yet perfectly between realities,
and after
death you do the same." session695
