Death

'Physical death is the death of the world. It is not an end. It is not the death of 'me...''

'In death there is no love. Love is only in existence. Love is only in existence, transforming myself from the emotional, psychological creature that I am into a loving being that I am. When my body dies, there is no love, just simple, pure beauty, where all is one, where nothing is left out, where nothing is separate, when nothing moves and everything scintillates in extraordinary beauty.'

'Physical death is the most wondrous miracle that cannot even be imagined, let alone described. But I’ve done my best.'

'But you must see it for yourself, because intelligence is what you see in your own experience, not what somebody tells you. It’s no good me telling you about immortality, you have to realize. You must realize that everything dies in your own experience. You have to see it. You have to examine it, not run away from it, not pretend it doesn’t exist like people do.'

'You have to be true to life and to death. For death is as much life as life death. There are two hemispheres. We live in one hemisphere of life or living. That’s ours. That’s all we have. And we have a terrible fear of something over here, this other hemisphere called death...'

'So easy is it to die, so very easy. Just as I go to sleep every night, except when I am dying, there is enormous hole in the web and the mind cannot re-knit it, because it is time for me to go through the hole in the mind’s web...'

'When you’re dying – really dying – I trust that you will give up. I trust that you will go through the hole in the web. I trust that you will slip through it easily by giving up, by not fighting, by not listening to the ignorant ones on the top next to the bed, saying you’ve got to fight.'
