Meaning Of Death
Death is like a door, through which you pass to move from one room into another. It is neither good nor bad, and it is painless. It is the sickness and misfortune that befalls a person that creates the impression that death is bad and ugly. Besides, it is not a sin to die. This world is God’s own school. You enter the school by birth, leave it at death and come back to it through reincarnation. Birth, death and reincarnation are more or less the same thing, just as a child who enters a school goes home for a while and returns to the school.
Meaning Of Resurrection
There are so many places of existence. You can call them heavens, mansions or worlds. The ability of one soul to move from one place of existence to another place of existence is called death, migration or ascension. The same death is also called resurrection, because man does not actually die. Instead, he leaves his body and moves to other planes of existence as necessary.
Those who are familiar with astral travel know that a person living on earth can leave this world, in spirit, visit other planes of existence, and still continue living on earth. For example, on several times, I have crossed the bridge called death, only to discover that life is everlasting, and that birth is not the beginning of life, and that death is not the end of life. In other words, I have died and resurrected several times. And indeed, Jesus is resurrection and life.
What a bliss!
To resurrect means to come out of the body. This body can be a human body or the grave. Both the body and grave cannot hold the spirit.
By resurrection and life, Jesus means that life is a continuity. And what people call eternity is simply ‘The Eternal now.’
What Jesus Said
25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?" John 11:25-26
What Jesus actually means is this: at death, you become separated from the body. You live forever, though the body is buried or burnt. In fact, you do not have to die, because life is everlasting. You reincarnate by taking up another body or by moving to another place of existence, depending in your merit or desire. Continuing, He means further that you do not have to stay in a grave, and you do not have to wait for the End Time or till the day of resurrection, before you go to heaven. That is why He is the resurrection and life.
More Explanations
Therefore, bear in mind that at death, you do not die because you are spirit, and spirit is life. Do not believe or think that you will remain in grave. If you believe you will remain in the grave, you bind yourself to the grave and would reuse to leave it. That is how purgatory begins, and purgatory is man-made. No wise man leaves his son to be stranded on the way, even for a day.
Resurrection is immediate. Your spirit is not buried and cannot be buried. That spirit is your true self, which enters and leaves the body at the due times. However, it is far more advantageous to live a good and righteous life, than to live a bad and sinful life.
People fear death, but dying itself is painless. There is nothing to fear in dying. All because loving guides are always ready and available to give every needed assistance. However, it is necessary that you learn spiritual science. The more you know about the spirit, the better and easier it is for you in the spirit world.
Usually, as one is about to die there comes an inner peace. This manifests on the face and body the person who has just died. Their body are relaxed as if he is resting, without any expression of worry, anxiety, fear or discomfort. In fact, it seems as if he is not really dead.
Death is such a pleasant sensation that some of those dying would wake up and warn those around them to stop disturbing them in their spiritual journey or transition.
Just before dying, pain suddenly ceases to be acute. There is a numbness, followed quite speedily by a feeling of wellbeing, a feeling of joy. Next, the person becomes aware that the physical world is dimming or fading, and the spiritual world is becoming brighter.
Around the deathbed are helpers, kind spirit people, who will guide the dying one to be reborn into the spiritual world. It just like when a baby is being delivered here on earth. You notice that the parents are eager to have a new born baby. The doctors and nurses are available to provide every needed service and assistance. So it is, and even better, in the spirit world. Usually, the spirit beings waiting for us to deliver us on to the spirit world are highly experienced people, highly trained people, people who have understanding, completely sympathetic and full of loving-kindness.
It is pity that the world is full of all kinds of religions, yet many of them cannot, and do not, tell people what death is like – a pleasant home-coming, especially for those who lived righteous life.
Most people fear death only because they are fond of fears: fear of pain, fear of mystery and fear of the unknown. They fear to face a wrathful God who is anxious to push them into the hell fire.
But all these are rubbish. That is why I say that so many people are practising the figments of imagination, the fabrications of falsehood and the deceptions of the enemy. God Almighty is a wrathful God. Yet, He rebukes against sin. God is a kind and understanding God.
In fact, you do not have to fear God. There is nothing to fear. Instead, God and His Angels are waiting to say, “Welcome home.” In the spirit, fear does not exist and is not encouraged. The attitude of fear was introduced by ignorant religious leaders and tyrants who wanted to make people submissive.
The body is still upon the bed. The sight has just stop working. Perhaps, the breath is still a struggling one in the chest. At last the breath also fades, ceases and is no longer active. Twitching is observed, those present show a convulsive shudder of agony. But death is painless, even it is a pleasurable sensation.
At last, there is a convulsive jerk, and then the astral body soars upwards.
