Death is a Gift...

We all have a terrible fear of death and a great desire to live as many years as possible.. often, we use the mental argument that we wish to live a long life to experience the lives of our children and grandchildren, but, the deeper truth is that Fear is the main motivator of human existence.. We see ourselves as the body and cannot relish the notion that it will dissolve back into the illusion.. We push back the pain of material existence with the thought that pain is better than the unknown.. This is why "Knowing" is so important, Knowing the Truth of Reality.. With Knowledge of the Unknown, Fear is dissolved.. This is the Path of the Mystic.. The Mystic seeks to "Know" through Direct Experience of the Unknown.. Therefore, becoming the "Known".. The "Known" is that You are beyond Death.. You are beyond Life.. You are beyond Fear.. "YOU" are beyond "you".........namaste, thomas
