Dying—A Painless Process

We have talked about death and now we would like to enlighten you to the experience
of dying. Many people seem to fear the dying process and do not realise that it is a painless
process. You are aware that when a person undergoes surgery they are anaesthetised so that
they do not feel the pain of the surgeon’s scalpel. The anaesthetic alters the patient’s
consciousness away from the pain sensors. For some time after the operation the patient is
under the influence of the drug and when that wears off the pain returns. The process of dying
is somewhat similar.

Imagine a person who is suffering from a disorder that is causing them terrible pain.
The pain could be so bad that they feel death would be preferable, even with the fear they
might have around it. On the physical conscious level they fear but on a spiritual level they
know that the relief will come when they detach from the physical body. Spirit does not
experience pain. The only suffering that a spirit can experience is the absence of Gods Love.
The further the spirit is from God the weaker is the feeling of that Love. In the physical body
the spirit can experience all the emotions associated with that pain that the body is feeling.
That person in that pain cannot translate their feelings into spiritual understanding because
firstly, they do not always have the spiritual education to correctly analyse and secondly, the
pain is so intense that they cannot rise above it. When that person can understand the cause
and experience of their disability then they can make rational choices to recover from the
malady or to choose the alternative of dying. This decision can only be made on a spiritual
level of consciousness. Whatever the choice it is generally found that the pain diminishes
with the understanding. Should the decision be to die then the observer will see peace come
over the dying person as their consciousness alters into it’s spiritual state and often the dying
person will see some of their friends who are already in the spirit world calling to them in
reassurance. All this can be disconcerting to the observer should they not have the experience
of knowing about death. Where there is knowledge about death spirit can more easily leave
the body and also Spirit can help more in the after death process.

There is relief from pain in death. The pain remains in the physical world and
particularly with those who have to continue in life without their loved one. If they were to
know the peace and happiness that their dearly departed is experiencing they would get such
comfort. The observer remembers the body’s reaction to the feeling of pain and sometime if
the body struggles to resist the spirit leaving it, they can often suffer great anguish at the
apparent distress that their loved one suffered. Their loved one did not suffer. The body is
similar to a mechanical device that is programmed to react in certain ways to certain
stimulation. Even in death it will react. It takes some time before the physical energy totally
discharges and the physical body goes into total repose. Know that death is only a
transformation from one temporary state of consciousness to the real consciousness of spirit.
