Love and Death
Posted by Eileen
I’m hoping dying is like the oneness I experienced with Julian one time when I didn’t really feel like having sex, but realized he’d had a bad day and needed that physical kind of affirmation and it became an amazing experience of a body, mind, spirit oneness with him that morphed into a oneness with everything. There were also two times when alone in the awesomeness of nature, I experienced the sense of being one with everything in the cosmos. I think that the point of love is becoming one or actually just recognizing that we are all one. Most of the mystics and those who started religions have sensed that oneness with all as the underlying reality of our existence. Jesus warned his disciples that whatever they did to the least, they did to him. Sometimes, I think when the greed, hate, and violence in humanity builds up to a boil is when we have tornados, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, and tsunamis. Abusing nature because of greed is part of that, but we may all be contributing. I do think often when we know we are dying, we become able to let go of everything, which frees us to become one with what is both the freedom of death and the Love of God.
