[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An Indian book called The Gita says about living - we are seen between two unseens. There is no sorrow in that.

Truly, death is easy and painless and I am here to say that what comes after is even better, not in any cheesy sense of heaven and bright lights, but trust me, it is. The fetus takes a leap of faith to come out into the world from the only place he knows. But they do it, and where they come out is even better. Trust me. [/quote]

Thanks for saying this. This is the only thought that brings me comfort and that is the metaphor I use to explain to my kids why they shouldn't be afraid of death. The fetus probably believes it is dying when it actually comes to life how we know it. It would be impossible to imagine the world that's out there. Similarly it is impossible for us to imagine a different form of consciousness. Sometimes we perceive glimpses of it, like a baby in the womb hearing voices from the outside world. So we know there is something more to life than a straight line from a beginning to an end. Nothing ever disappears, it is renewed somehow.[/quote]
