Death is a dance - it holds its own cosmological syntax and cannot be truncated or obfuscated.
With
the exception of murderous circumstances, the timing of any
individual’s
death is to the very
second
suitable and although it may appear that there is a decision of sorts
with this timing - i.e. a hesitation, a farewell, a timely moment
that belongs within the earthly realm - the process is preordained,
and for this reason: that death in consequence occurs within the
spiritual spheres before
the physical body deceases. The one does not follow the other as is
often pondered.
For
the physical body does not ever dictate to the spirit anything of any
matter. It can and does inform, convey, communicate and sometimes
inhibit …
but
it is always the conformist, the silent partner to incarnation and
its processes.
The
incarnating ego of an individual knows, senses and decides all
matters from the soul firstly.
Of
course by appearance it is very easy to be misled into thinking that
we are solely motivated by physical needs and material thoughts.
However
the basest of men and the slowest of the elderly are finely attuned
to the rhythms of the unseen currents, and the wisdoms working within
and without.
In
point of fact the experiences we have during a lifetime are so much
more significant when viewed from the aspect of the soul.
It
is very much alike to that part of the birdsong our ears cannot hear,
or the colors as yet not seen - we do not necessarily perceive the
impressions and interactions of our soul’s
life at present - but the richness of this experience remains, and
when conscious recollections are so visited, the many reasons and
natures are appreciated and further understood.
Life
could be seen to be a barren enterprise if much of the day was simply
as it seemed. In truth, one could wonder at a Creation that sought
the noblest of beings to enact but the mundane, and that being the
one and only purpose. But this is not the case. Every footfall is
part of the cosmic dance that is explicit with deep meaning.
Just
as the planets hold their relations within the boundaries of
movements and magnetism, the incarnating ego is aware on its
commensurate planes of existence just as to that exact position it
holds.
It
feels the sun from the direction in which the rays are broadcast - it
senses the proximity of others and their natures toward themselves
and their influences great and small. These aspects of the soul are
sensitive to all of life - all of the complexities - and over time (a
cosmic time) can go back and see and feel with full knowledge of the
life they have lived.
And
so one can begin to understand that it is not just a review of places
and times and humdrum or drama that is re-seen, given witness to.
It
is not but a dream in the retelling - but much more with a cascading
complexity that will infill the mind with ideas and inspiration for
eons to come.
The
pictorial aspect of the soul and the emphatic impressions it receives
are first and foremostly strikingly beautiful. The very first intake
of any knowledge has this effect within one’s
being. The soul would not choose to see something - and in most cases
could not see – that which was darkly, horribly constructed.
The
first impressions are always those which take in the beauteous aspect
of an event, a nature, of a time or another being. This is the
greeting from one to another - the image of a place - the
representation of a reality. The first ‘sense’
impression
of the soul is in that receiving of that beauteous impression and the
understanding of that cosmic reality by the tones of its beauty so
given and received.
These
ideas are not romantic or poetic or abstract - they are of the
science of the soul itself. This is why at the beginning of this
paper it was said that the process of death could not begin to be
understood by material reasonings or perceptions - that the cognitive
perceptions and reasonings do not and could not relate to the
processes that give up and unto death; that the passage of the soul
that passes out from the earthly realm and back into its ordinary
habitat, are given to reasons and impressions that are from a vastly
different perspective and motivation.
Also,
to add to this is the comment that the operating consciousness of an
individual is at the one place at the one time; yet having said that,
the individual is consciously interpreting life in all of its aspects
concurrently - it is just focused on the one significantly.
Added
to this consciousness, self-consciousness and the expression of such
are all very different modes of being. One can reverse their thought
on dreams to obtain a clearer view on the physical expression of life
as we know it. For example: it is commonly thought that our
day-to-day conscious awareness of self and surroundings is the prime
predictor of reality and has the clearest vantage to life and its
meanings. In other words, it is the thought-world that is entertained
by our active brains that determines our best judgment and expression
of the world and ourselves.
Already
one can see within the sentence a flaw in that prescription - given
that the mind is limited to the selection of worldly thought utilized
within its reasoning.
Some
individuals who are given to esoteric thinking can utilize ‘higher’
or
more subtle thoughts - they can actually think with a modernized mind
that is more predictive of future man than the ordinary man today.
The
filters and differentiation employed within this thinking actually
precludes an array of paradigmatic clusters - and so not only does it
have the ability to draw from an advanced selection, it also
precludes a great many groups of thoughts that are as the ‘dead
wood’
of
the tree of knowledge.
This
aspect of preclusion is no handicap - but a service to the thinker.
Most commonplace thinkers are imbibed with the older aggregates of
thought, and like barnacles upon a rock, find them hard to identify
and pluck off - even if they had the know-how to want to - calcified
thought bodies that are residual to the age, yet also very primal in
their beginnings.
Thought
does not break down, it does not leave the earthly realm and is taken
up by the incarnating souls, who largely by proximity are most
influenced. It shapes form as well as conscious thinking - it really
is the stuff from which the physical world constantly recreates
itself daily. For this reason alone it does need to be
indestructible. Imagine for one moment what would be the implications
if such pre-matter matter was, if it were transient, less permanent
and dissolvable?
And
so we have these bodies of thought-matter that have pre-existed
manifestation and continue to remain.
Therefore,
when contemplating the forms of thought that bring future learning
and ideas into this world there are two things required: namely the
ability to perceive the more subtle thought that is yet to become
substantially received within the world, and also the ability to
preclude that former body of thought that would in itself literally
battle in contrast the wisdom to come.
And
yes! it is not only people that go to war over ideas and ideologies!
It is the very beings of thought that do this as well.
And
this battling itself is where the men of old first picked this up
from.
There
are races of men who do not battle thought and are perfectly capable
of scholastic enquiry without subjective interference - but then
there are others who are so strongly imbibed with the living concepts
of contesting ideas that they bring this aggression into their
behaviors and future learnings.
Individuals
carry their predispositions with them over lifetimes, and although
they are subjected to the given thoughts of region and time, they are
given to limitations and inclinations that have formed consistently
within their conscious world thinking.
So said, the most limited of individuals can progress if the local bodies of materialistic thought begin to give over to the new thought brought in.
Old
thought is combative, new thought is scholastic.
Old
thought defends itself and would aggressively contest new thought
coming in.
Receivers
of old thought aggregates particularly enjoy watching or taking part
in sports that are aggressively combative. Typically narrow minded
materialistic thinkers are physically remonstrating the spiritual
world’s
contest of paradigms and thought-bodies throughout.
Esoteric
thinkers of the ‘new’
thought
are not afraid of confrontations or oblivious of their contests, but
they do not aggressively seek them out, initiate battle with them, or
enjoy such interactions - largely because they are sensitive to the
stubborn thought they have selectively dismissed throughout their
lives that is knocking at the doors of their minds and their beings
persistently. One may be able to preclude the thoughts, yet still
hear them rapping on the door!
When
the process of death has begun within the spiritual worlds, the
consciousness is immediately loosened from its affiliated thinking.
The
term ‘affiliated
thinking’
relates
to the whole conceptual status of the individual - whether
synthesized through new or older configurations and recollections.
This affiliative thought body is dismissed by the soul who is now
operating a consciousness outside of their physical body in every
respect.
This
can take place years before the actual death occurs - as in dementia
- or in the days, hours or minutes just prior to the last breath.
