THE INESCAPABLE TRUTH CALLED DEATH

                        

At first I thought death respected certain people, especially people I knew and loved. This feeling gave me some sort of comfort as a child. When my father died, that was when the reality called death began to dawn on me. Then again I thought maybe death still had some sort of respect for younger people. But alas, it coming knocking at the door of my childhood friend “Daniel”; I was shocked, terrified, I could not close my eyes for days after the incidence. Daniel wasn’t more than 15 years at the time. He was full of life, vibrant, young, a social elite we all looked up to. This was when I knew death had no rules, no principles, no timeline, no friends, no foes, it only desire is to keep taking and taking. Causing sorrows and heart break at every turn it passes.

What then is someone supposed to do? Look over my shoulder in fear of death? Or maybe one should just bury the feeling deep enough that it hardly comes up. What is the way forward?

In the bible Jesus Christ said that where a man’s treasure is, there his heart will be also. In Yesterday’s blog post I wrote about 2 realms within the earth, just like we have a body and consciousness. A person in sync with his consciousness understands one truth that cannot be understood any other way. That is “The ephemerality of the earth and our existence”. To truly understand this truth is to conquer in real terms the fear of death. Once in sync with your consciousness, you are in sync with the consciousness of the earth and ultimately in sync with the Almighty God. This synchrony of the incorporeal assures the enlightened that death is part of a longer journey, yet to be completed. That death is a bus-stop they must reach, before boarding another bus on another journey. They know that their time on earth is temporal and all that they do is to assure their future and place in the next plane of existence.

Enlightenment is key to inner peace, it is key to unraveling your purpose and fulfilling your destiny. Death will surely come, if you think am lying. Pick a pin, needle or any sharp object and prick yourself. You feel that? That proves that you will die and very soon than you may imagine. Why deny the inevitable, and sit in denial and tell yourself “I shall not die” Even Our lord and Savior knew he would die and he was not scared or in denial. He told his disciples bump and plan that very soon I shall leave you. Do you know what that depicts? Jesus was in sync with God and he knew as a matter of fact his purpose on earth, and once that purpose was fulfilled then he had reached the end of his earthly journey. Thus he embraced death (death of the body) even before death came.

Find God and find life. Forsake your temporal craving and seek a higher purpose; a purpose beyond the lofty achievements on earth, a purpose beyond human comprehension, a purpose that will usher you into the next plane of existence.
