The fear of death can only be allayed by a connection with that
which is immortal. It has been the insight of many sages that we are immortal
and it is due to ignorance that we believe that we are the body and all ends
with death. This fear of death, combined with a sense of futility of life’s
purpose gives a powerful force to find out that which is beyond death and live
that existence rather than the existence linked to mortality. How does one find
that ? For me a starting point could be to return again and again to the life
throbbing inside me. This life or attention seems to be a first connection with
that which incarnated into this body and so if I could live more and more in
this connection maybe it could be the boat that could take one across the river
from this bank that is attached and identified with mortality. This connection
could also be assisted by returning to the breath – especially the sensation of
the breath.
To understand this life that incarnates life after life is a
magical adventure. Let me start right away.
