Quote:It's not as bad as all that, though. It's just our eyes opening. I wouldn't trade it for the lives of those who spend all of their time chasing more, bigger and better. Money, houses,etc. All fo the things that will disapear with our bodies.~Bob
True true. I compare my experience with near-death experiencees. They report similar sensations. Many will divorce out of a dead-end marriage, change careers overnight, move to distant lands etc. because they see that they were pulled off track from their 'mission' (a lot of them use that or similar term to describe their life lesson plan).
When we're young we're so bombarded with "shoulds" that we bind ourselves in a corner trying to please all the "shoulds" in our heads. We don't even know why; only that not to do so would bring disapproval and ostracizing from whatever sources we view as authority figures in our lives.
Symbolic or actual death scrubs that all off the motherboard and allows the original program to run. I like to look at it that way.
And yes, there are many more magical things to look forward to..I just know it. So that keeps me going. That and the few people I know who are spiritually tuned in. Many of them post here.And now: back to your regularly scheduled (de)programming...
