death is the absense of life, no more no less, there is no death, just no life, death is part of life,
we need changes,
we define life differently.
that which is, is life.
nothing disappears from reality, and if it did, that would be death.
reality is life, there is no absence of life, unless there is absence of existence.
only absolute nothingness can be labeled with the name death. and even nothingness is alive in my eyes.
death was not Gods plan for manQuote:

Don't let fear rule your life, as fear in and of itself is hell.

What a wonderful topic, and a wonderful post from the topic starter!
Without death, life would be meaningless (one of my many problems with the idea of an eternal heaven, but that's another story entirely). Death is as necessary, beautiful and natural and any other part of life. I think that death is merely a new beginning, in another life, another form, another journey.
As a nursing assistant, I've been with countless people during their final moments, and sharing such a sacred time with a person is amazing beyond words. When we die, all it means is that we've learned what we've needed to learn in this life, we've done what we came to do, and we're ready to move on to something else - hopefully something bigger and better.
I think the problem most people see with death is it's this ultimate finality, and people are understandably uncomfortable with that. But if we learn to look at death as just another step, or as part of a cycle, I think we can learn to be at peace with it, and even see the beauty in it.
junky, i am not pagan per se, i am omnitheistic in my beliefs, so paganism has a strong part, but so does christianity, buddhism, and the tao.
haze... um... i am pretty certain energy cannot truly be removed from existence, or as you say, destroyed. fractured infinitely so far as to become unobservable to the most advanced science, but not utterly and completely destroyed. :\ . . . :/ although that is a possibility, not destroyed, cut changed, to void. and given that yes, but it most likely must be willingly done.
I get the same kinds of thoughts on things like mushrooms.....
Like one time i was on mushrooms, i swore i could see my dead friends spirit, and i felt like i was being filled up with all the knowledge of the world. I also felt like i was dead (hard to explain) but it felt like nothing mattered in my life, and gods eyes were staring right down on me.
I get a very large feeling of being watched while on mushrooms.
