Rebirth by 4FoldFun
When you die you die…and that’s it, some say. Finished, finito, the end, amen. But, what really is death? Does one really die or is a person just transformed into something else?
I put forward the counter notion that there is no such thing as death. And by death I mean death in all forms. When you die you are really reborn into something else. Wayne Dyer talked about the idea of dying while you are alive….and that can happen in all sorts of ways. If for instance, you are fired from a job or just stop doing the job…or graduate from college…or move permanently from home or the town you grew up in ….a part of you dies….that part of you that had life with the people you worked with, or went to school with. You somewhat become detatched from the overall culture and feelings of those lives you used to live. You obviously will in many ways identify with those previous lives…sometimes forever…and sometimes for shorter periods of time…but..a distance separates you which causes your alignment with those feelings and experiences to just form archives in your long term memory. That is death you experience when you are alive.
However, you literally experience a rebirth when you get a job in another organization….or start your own business…or move to another city, or start a new way of life……or just do something else.
Of course, you might experience being in between worlds before you experience a rebirth….this may be a time of contemplation…a time of reflection….a time of experimenting, trying things out, a time of finding yourself. It may be a time for example when you have left your job and are looking for a new job, deciding whether to live in one city or another, etc. A time when you have left one life…but have not quite arrived at the other life yet. Some people could experience death and being in in-between-worlds while still living and working in their current surroundings. They for all intents and purposes might have disconnected in one or more ways from their current surroundings but have not quite yet completely pulled to them the experiences they want to move to.
Dying when you are alive should be viewed as a good thing…an opportunity for rebirth.. and must be considered as such. It is an opportunity for new things to happen to you, to throw out the old, unnecessary, to get rid of negative surroundings…move away from negative people…and bring in the new such as moving to a new career or way of life that is in concert with your highest evolution.
Death and rebirth are two sides of the same coin.
