Death Is

So Patrick Swayze just croaked. It’s like Ghost 2.0.

Actors on a movie screen and most people in real life… what’s the difference? Actors in the movies know they’re acting and that the roles they play aren’t who and what they really are.

“All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players
They have their exits and their entrances”
-Shakespeare

What’s so bad about death? Death is only seen to be worse/different than chewing bubble gum when labeled and judged by the mind. Everything just is. Death just is.

Beyond Death

In awareness there is freedom, freedom that transcends even birth and death, for it is not subject to these superficial changes in form any more than a camera is affected by what shapes and colors appear before it.

In awareness, everything is, and yet even saying that is too much.

What is the human body? It’s like a space suit used by consciousness as a sort of vehicle to enter the world of time and space. When we exit the body, we’re no longer in the domain of time and space. This exit can actually be made while in the body, despite the fact that time and space keep seemingly happening. They are then seen to be totally, completely, and utterly illusory, a fabrication of mind that creates for us this dream world we call physical reality. We often call this awakening.

Heaven and Hell, imaginary constructs of the mind. What lies beyond is truly beyond the mind, beyond anything imaginable. What lies beyond is truly One, for there is no other possibility. What lies beyond we call Heaven, we call Nirvana, but what they truly are can not be named. Heaven and Hell are actually One. Nirvana and Samsara are actually one. This recognition we call Heaven or Nirvana, ironically enough. This unnameable isness we call Heaven, but do not confuse the name with the isness. That’s like thinking someone’s nametag actually is who they are. No no, the finger pointing to the moon is not the moon, silly.
