Page 26 - Spirit - A Journey Through Embodiment

Other animals do not fear death as humankind does. If we are
to realise that the inevitable outcome of physical life is that
the body will die, if we are to realise that inevitably our Spirit

have the total capacity to deal with it, and utilise it to our
spiritual benefit. It is our Spirit that has that power. That part
of us that is called the ego is the part that experiences fear and
lacks the ability to find the solutions on its own. When the ego
