THE LIGHT IS RIVER OF LIFE. Drink of this manna water to your heart's content."

I believe that death is the most amazing experience we each will have, and is the absolute peak of one's life.   It is something to look forward to, and is not to be feared.  The following stories show how we can truly enjoy life and embrace death at the same time. It is through this embrace of both extremes that we become fully alive, present and even healed. 

I have always said to people who are facing death to know it is their Ego who is clinging to life, afraid to explore the beyond, and it is this "clinging" that is causing all their suffering.   The death that each of us could use on a daily basis is this melting and merging with our Ego.   The death of the ego  opens our mind to the entire Universe beyond.   This state of no-mind is what true meditation is like and only brings us into a sense of gratitude, humbleness and reverence for this amazing experience called life.  The day we embrace death is the day we know that we do not die.  That we actually do go on....and on...and on!
