Death. No one wants to talk about it, yet it is a place we’re all going to go. It’s a destination we can’t avoid, something that will happen to each of us. It’s time to end spiritual ignorance and get to the facts—the truth about our spirituality in life and then in death.
What if everything we’ve been taught about death isn’t true? What if orthodox religion has seized the concept of the soul and the whole subject of death? They wrote about it, and it’s been passed down: Eternal damnation, Judgment Day, hell. They’ve claimed death as their own. But what if it’s all been a big lie? What if we’ve been taught that death is strictly religious when it isn’t? I think it’s time we have this conversation, so we can end the sorrow and suffering.
It’s not eternal hell, it’s not judgment, and it’s not damnation. Death is like sleep. We die every night. We leave our bodies, but we’re held to Earth by a magnetic cord. This hair-thin, light cord keeps us connected. When we die, this little cord is cut. It’s like taking off our garments—we discard the physical body, but we remain as the spiritual body. We are always spiritual, and the soul is immortal. When we awaken in death, we are the same.
This process follows natural law: as you sow, so shall you reap. The soul has the ability to progress always and forever, moving upward through time and space. Even those who have done terrible things and are lost in darkness have opportunities to advance. It is their self-judgment that holds them in that darkness, but help is always available. There’s always a chance to stop self-judgment and to grow.
It’s important to realize that we leave immediately after death. Those long, dark funerals—draped in black and gloom—don’t serve the soul, which has already moved on. The best prayer you can offer is not one about Jerusalem or Bethlehem, which serves no purpose. Instead, a prayer like, “Please take care of my loved one and help them reach the other side,” is of far better service. Traditional religious prayers, blessing the ground, focus on the wrong part. We are souls in continuous life, and once we leave, we don’t need a long, drawn-out funeral.
We don’t have to base our fears, death rituals, or sorrows on what has been handed down through the ages. Instead, we can evolve toward the highest truth—that life on the other side is glorious, our true home. It’s time to acknowledge the real truth about life and death. I’ll share more about this in upcoming videos.
