WE LIVE IMMEDIATELY AFTER DEATH WE LIVE IMMEDIATELY AFTER DEATHMaybe you should first read how there have been people that have come back from the life after death. Here I assume you have. Death is all around us. We are faced with it every day. This is not morbid. It is the reality of life. So let's deal with that reality, and then we can be much happier and peaceful.
What does it mean to deal with the realities of life? It means that we see them as they are, that we do not dream they are different. So often you can see in life that a person realizes that death is near. And that person is content with the idea or wants to talk about it. But then relatives or friends go into denial, and flee from reality. It is not nice to do this to the person who is dying. You leave that person very much alone.
The reality is that people have come back from death so they went there. There is life immediately after death. This is true for the children that die. It is true for the people who die in old age. It is true for the people who are killed in crimes or war or executions. And if we remain behind, we should say like the angel on Easter morning. The person is not here, but is risen, has passed on to the other life. The person is still very much alive.
It is so comfortable to have peace with death and mortality. We can stop playing games, but live acutely aware of the life after death that is right around the corner. The more we become aware of the reality of life both here and in the other world, the more we can taste it and enjoy it.
The more we become aware of the reality of our relationship with other people and with the material things of this world, the more we can enjoy them and be happy with them. The more we become aware of the reality of spiritual life, the more we can feel it and accept it.
Facing and learning the realities of life in this world helps us become
realists and not dreamers. Reading about the life after death helps us
become realists who do not dream or avoid, but who believe and enjoy it.
