Death

My friends it is inevitable that the day must dawn when
nothing more can be done on this earth. Yes, it is death that we
speak of, for it is important that you have an understanding of this
the ultimate act on the earth plane.

The necessity of death is to enable the incarnated Spirit to
find the release from the imprisonment of the physical body and
to ascend into the higher realms of spirituality. There is no other
way that this can be achieved. We may look to the bible so as to
illustrate this. To end the story of Jesus it was necessary that he be
allowed to die, thereby bringing to an end that phase of his life
and allowing him to enter the new life that was waiting for him.
He did not fear this transition any more or less than any other
man, "Father, Father why hast thou forsaken me?" he cried. This
was not the plea from one who was totally committed to his fate.
No, this was the manifestation of the apprehension experienced
facing the unknown. It is also the ultimate opportunity to test ones
faith, in that if there is this trust then that trust will extend even
then, into the apparent darkness of death. Only then can one
experience the beauty that can unfold without the shadows of fear
dimming the sight of the beholder.
