6 DEATH
Our souls release our mortal bodies in death.
All of humanity is mortal. For each life there is a death. Each
of us is
conceived by mortal parents, birthed from the womb of our mother,
and
we each cease to exist in this reality on the average of 75 years
later.
Death terminates human existence in this reality without bias or
prejudice
to the rich or poor, to the literate or illiterate, to the famous
or infamous, to the honorable or deceitful, to the young or old,
to the great achievers or non-achievers.
Death is the great equalizer that separates our souls from our mortal
bodies and returns our spiritual essence to the great peace of Infinity.
We each enter into this reality in the body of a helpless baby and
we leave behind a rigid corpse. We come into this reality naked
and alone and we travel through death's door one at a time.
The overwhelming majority of humanity believes that every body has
a
soul and that each soul survives the death of the body. The soul
is considered immortal and infinite; a part of God before birth
and a part
of God after death.
The body is thought to be no more than a temporary residence for
the
soul. However, believing this, we still tend to live as if the body
is immortal and, consequently, as if its status and power on earth
are everlasting.
When we consider the Infinite Potential and the immortality of the
soul
and the brief life of the body in relation to Infinity, we quickly
realize
that it is the harmony of the Infinite Potential with which we must
synchronize ourselves if we are to achieve true inner peace and
Peace on Earth.
When we associate ourselves too closely with the primal nature of
the
earth, where the strong generally victimize the weak, we become
out of
sync with our immortal essence and live a life of material gratification
which leaves us unsatisfied, except in the very short term, and
in constant search of the inner peace that lies eternally within
our souls.
When we harmonize our bodies with the earth which nurtures them
and
then synchronize our bodies with our souls which are in constant
harmony with the Infinite Potential, we begin to create an earthly
reality that mirrors the Infinite Potential and consequently we
begin to live in peace.
It is impossible for a human being to live in harmony with the earth
and
be in sync with the Infinite Potential and at the same time consider
victimizing another human being; much less turn a deaf ear on the
great
suffering of humanity as it calls out in its great pain.
Inner peace comes in the acceptance of the fact that our bodies
will wear out but our souls will not cease to exist when our bodies
die.
Inner peace comes when we synchronize our bodies with the harmony
of our immortal souls.
