\r\n
\r\n <!-' + '- / icon and title -' + '->\r\n \r\n\r\n <!-' + '- message -' + '->\r\n
\r\n \r\n When you walk through a forest that has not been tamed and interfered with by man, you will see not only abundant life all around you, but you will also encounter fallen trees and decaying trunks, rotting leaves and decomposing matter at every step. Wherever you look, you will find death as well as life.
\nUpon closer scrutiny, however, you will discover that the decomposing tree trunk and rotting leaves not only give birth to new life, but are full of life themselves. Microorganisms are at work. Molecules are rearranging themselves. So death isn\'t to be found anywhere. There is only the metamorphosis of life forms. What can you learn from this?
\nDeath is not the opposite of life. Life has no opposite. The oppposite of death is birth. Life is eternal.
\n- Eckhart Tolle (\'Stillness Speaks\')
\n
\nLife is a school. We incarnate on earth to learn and to advance the soul.
\nDeath is quite simply \'going home\'.
\nDo not be afraid of death. There is nothing to fear.
\n
\nFor anyone in need of comfort and reassurance, or those seeking further knowledge on the topic of survival of the spirit, then I recommend the following outstanding works:
\nOn Death and Dying by Dr Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
\nGlimpses of Eternity by Dr Raymond Moody
\nThe Art of Dying by Dr Peter Fenwick and Elizabeth Fenwick
\n
\nAnd for the more enquiring mind I also recommend a classic of British spiritualist literature \'The Golden Key\' by Percy Welsford.
\n
\nWhy have most of those who went through a near-death experience lost their fear of death? Reflect on this - Eckhart Tolle\r\n

\r\n \r\n Ian Mc Cormack was a young New Zealand man who was stung by deadly Box Jellyfish whilst scuba diving off the Island of Mauritius.
\n
\nHere he recounts how he managed to make his way to a local hospital but eventually died, found himself outside his body and his meeting with Jesus Christ that changed him forever, before finding himself returned to his body in the hospital mortuary.

\r\n \r\n Near-death experiences: Many of the patients have spoken of the peace they experienced; beautiful, indescribable peace - no pain, no anxiety. They tell us that all that matters is how much you have loved, how much you have cared and if you know these things then you cannot possibly be afraid of death - Dr Elizabeth Kubler-Ross\r\n

\r\n \r\n I also found, that the book, The Art Of Happiness, a handbook for living, by his holiness the Dalai Lama, and Howard C. Cutler M.D. a very interesting read about life and death.
\r\n
\r\nWhen I was younger I was always terrified of the thought of seeing a dead person,but after having sat with 3 very close relatives to the last breath of their lives I am no longer afraid of dying, and am so grateful that I was able to be with them in their last days.\r\n

Default The Cycle of Life

When you walk through a forest that has not been tamed and interfered with by man, you will see not only abundant life all around you, but you will also encounter fallen trees and decaying trunks, rotting leaves and decomposing matter at every step. Wherever you look, you will find death as well as life.
Upon closer scrutiny, however, you will discover that the decomposing tree trunk and rotting leaves not only give birth to new life, but are full of life themselves. Microorganisms are at work. Molecules are rearranging themselves. So death isn't to be found anywhere. There is only the metamorphosis of life forms. What can you learn from this?
Death is not the opposite of life. Life has no opposite. The oppposite of death is birth. Life is eternal.
- Eckhart Tolle ('Stillness Speaks')

Life is a school. We incarnate on earth to learn and to advance the soul.
Death is quite simply 'going home'.
Do not be afraid of death. There is nothing to fear.

For anyone in need of comfort and reassurance, or those seeking further knowledge on the topic of survival of the spirit, then I recommend the following outstanding works:
On Death and Dying by Dr Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
Glimpses of Eternity by Dr Raymond Moody
The Art of Dying by Dr Peter Fenwick and Elizabeth Fenwick

And for the more enquiring mind I also recommend a classic of British spiritualist literature 'The Golden Key' by Percy Welsford.

Why have most of those who went through a near-death experience lost their fear of death? Reflect on this - Eckhart Tolle
