Deep dives
Death as a Taboo Topic
Death has become a taboo subject in modern society, leading to a dysfunctional relationship with death. The collective belief that death is bad and wrong perpetuates fear and denial, which makes the experience of death more painful. Cultural adaptations and coping mechanisms prevent people from facing their mortality. This taboo also affects spiritual teachers, who may be accused of promoting death by discussing its value. The confusion and mixed messages surrounding death highlight the need to understand society's complicated attitude towards death and how it influences our perspective.
The Transition of Death
Death is a transitioning process marked by a drastic change in perspective. The stream of consciousness feeding our thought form and physical body withdraws, leading to the dissolution of both. Death is not an immediate process, and dissipating thought forms may influence the physical dimension as ghosts. When beings transition towards the light, they reverse the manifestation process. Reincarnation involves a mix of determinism and free will, influenced by the law of mirroring. Death is not inherently beneficial to the universe, as life itself holds value and expansion. Understanding death as a drastic change can help cope with grief and loss.
The Value of Facing Death
Facing death allows for a more meaningful and authentic life. Awareness of mortality breaks free from temporal, day-to-day drama and reconnects with the bigger picture of life. Questioning how actions will be perceived after death can lead to living with intention and making the most of time on Earth. Contemplating the significance of life within the context of death brings about different decisions and a more fulfilling experience. Although death may be a change in perspective at a higher dimension, it is important to validate the physical life experience and hold both the reality of loss and the no-loss perspective of death.
In this episode, Teal Swan talks about death, one of the most taboo and misunderstood topics in our society. She explains how death is not an endedness, but a drastic change in perspective and form that allows for expansion and enhancement of consciousness. She also shares how facing death and living with our mortality in mind can help us live a more rich, meaningful, and authentic life.
