Came across an article about a woman who has "died" three times and experienced the afterlife. What was interesting is that her interpretation of that post-death experience matches very closely with my own personal revelations, both experientially and in coming into contact with others who have passed.
Fear of death - the fear of the destruction of our consciousness and ego - is normal and natural. It is also false and unnecessary. (Unless you are someone who has good reason to believe your punishment in the afterlife will be severe, in which case that fear should be your signal to change your ways.) It is both a lie created by the ego to control our spirit and a lie perpetuated by society to collectively placate our individually oppressive ego patterns.
Those of us who have seen the truth about death know it is beautiful, sacred, peaceful and a natural part of life. There is no end, only transitions and death is a transition into something transcendent. And that "something transcendent" is already available to us in the living world. The ego does not want us to know this, because that would render the ego useless, it would lay bare the truth, that the ego is weak, knows very little and is governed by base emotions like fear and anger.
As a society, we have collectively created a structure to defend our fragile egos in the face of infinite connection. Our egos need us to believe their death will be the end of everything, not a step into pure freedom and true life experience. So our egos connect with other egos to create a self-sustaining architecture, all for the purpose of sustaining their illusion of control.
The Teal Flame does not recognize the egoic falsehoods, at the individual or social level. It's all bullshit. And just because a lot of people buy into that BS, doesn't make it any less false. When the stories and fears are placed into the flame, they burn away to nothing, but the true person remains.
Your fear of death is an ego shadow. Embracing the impermanence is a recognition of the essence of life, which has no beginning or end. Life is not some chemical reaction or some spontaneous event, it is a universal experience that exists beyond space and time and can manifest in the physical world, but is not limited to that manifestation.
We are an expression of this universal force, this experience. Call it God or Source, it doesn't matter because it doesn't have a name. We are here on Earth as a temporal expression of the divine, and we will continue as such after our death. And it is this temporal, cyclical energetic experience that makes life on Earth so beautiful. It is fragile, it is only here for a short time before returning to the infinite. And it will return and bring forth new life.
Fearing death is fearing the essence of the divine experience. Seeking to forestall death through weird artificial means is ungodly. It misses the point of life entirely. Our bodies are finite, our lives are not. In the finite there is beauty. The mystery of what is beyond is not a mystery - when we can feel past our physical experience and feel into what is beyond our physical bodies, emotions and thoughts, that is the infinite that resides inside us and what we will experience when our physical bodies pass away.
