Unborn, Eternal, Constant and Primordial - A Brief Look at Death and Grief in Hinduism
In Sanskrit, the word for death doesn't mean 'the end'—it means the end of the physical shell. From the symbolism of cremation to the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, Hindu tradition teaches us that the soul is never killed when the body is killed. Discover a perspective where death loses its shadow.
Death: The Last Enemy?
Whether through the lens of ancient scripture or modern theory, the message is the same: death is an 'enemy' to be destroyed. By looking past traditional dogma, we can see these ancient texts not just as comfort for the devout, but as early attempts to solve the mystery of our own immortality.
What About Channeling?
While spirit mediums often exploit the 'fierce grip' of grief, the reality of consciousness may render their services unnecessary. If we move toward a world where we understand that our loved ones never truly left, the need for a conduit disappears. Discover a more pragmatic view of channeling.
Dismantling Modern Mythologies
Modernism is rife with myths, including the idea that we’ve 'arrived' at the final truth about life and death. From the discovery of DNA to the hard problem of consciousness, history shows there is always more to unlock. It’s time to move toward a horizon where death becomes irrelevant.
All The Life We Cannot See
NASA’s data on the light spectrum reveals a startling truth: humans are blind to nearly all of reality. If the vast majority of our world is undetectable to our eyes, what does that mean for the energy within us? Discover why science and Rumi agree: there is no such thing as separation.
Is It Now Yet?
Science suggests the world we see is an illusion—and time might be, too. If time is merely a concept used to organize commerce and worry, then the 'departure' of our loved ones is part of that same illusion. Discover why, in the eternal now, there is no such thing as death.
The Misidentification of Key Concepts Related to Death and Dying.
When an atheist friend bristled at the mention of death, it revealed a common flaw in our culture: we lack the framework to discuss the end without religion. By viewing consciousness as a fundamental element of reality rather than a 'spirit,' we can finally dismantle the fiction of the end.
The Last Day
While watching my cat loll in the garden, I realized: animals don't postpone their happiness. Humans, however, defer living while waiting for a future that may never arrive. Discover why assuming today is your last day is the only way to stop 'just breathing' and start truly living.
Learning to be Alive
We weren't born just to pay bills and die. If consciousness is fundamental to the universe, then our focus on the external world—money, status, and infrastructure—is a distraction from true living. Discover why relearning how to be 'alive' means looking inward to the infinite.
Moments of Departure - Differences in Physiological Characteristics of the Recently Departed
Every death is unique, yet one element remains constant: the noticeable 'emptying out' of the body at the moment of transition. Moving beyond the clinical stages of grief, we explore the metamorphosis from person to shell, and why our true life might be a matter of light and energy.
