Death and Living...

27th April


I came across a few things about this in the last few days and I thought: 'umm quite an interesting subject I should try to write about it' so here I am... Let's see what comes...

I like the idea that only by knowing about death can we live. www.internationalmovietrailerfestival.com/all-trailers/death-makes-life-possible/

'Death Makes Life Possible' explores the taboo topic of death and asks the fundamental question: How can understanding death give meaning to our lives?'

I believe that too, for only when we live fully do we accept death. By living fully I mean living conscious, present and aware of what is. If you are scared of death, you hide, you protect yourself, you avoid living because you scared of dying.

How many of us spend their lives doing exactly that, at least at some point of our life? Yes, I can see all those arms out... 😊 and I can see the ones who are not out because they scared of admitting exactly that to the world and to themselves. For that is one of the big issues in so many things in life and our inner world. We have issues with admitting things to ourselves! We ashamed of accepting that we anything else than 'good'.

The other issue to me in all this is that the fear of death can kill us anyway and how sad is that? To live a life where you are not living, where you are vegetating or living like one of those zombies from a horror film. But I see this in so many people, on tv, on the streets and in my practice. We stop living because we are scared! And sometimes it is not at all that we are scared of death - no, in fact, some of us at some point even welcomed it - it is that we are scared of living! Because living has became unbearable and therefore if we don't die for real we still kill ourselves and live a dead life, with no meaning, no purpose... Sad, lonely and depressive.

Do I have the answers? No I don't! But I have in fact some beliefs in all of this and one is the need for a purpose or at least the belief that there is one somewhere and you just need to find it! And the other is that we need to find our lost soul!

By lost soul I mean our real self, the one we lost touch since we have been bombarded with neglect, abuse, false believes and expectations plus our false interpretations of all this reality! We are all unique and we all have unique ways to interpret and react to the reality! That is what makes us, us - and not someone else. So if we choose consciously or not to react or act in a certain way to something done to us we need to take responsibility and accept it so you then can let go of it, the guilty or the anger that is keeping you stuck in time.

We get trapped in our traumas, fears and emotions and only when we get to know them, accept them and work with them do we start commenting with our real self. We need to know, really know ourselves and accept it for what it is! That acceptance needs to come from a place of unconditional love, the place that is within us, our hearts, our souls, our consciousness, what connects us all.

And by purpose, I mean a reason, a passion, a love for something. We all need to feel needed and valued, respected and accepted, loved! And we don't just need it but we have a right to it too. But what we don't need is to look for any of this anywhere... yes, I know, surprise, surprise! We need to only and simply look and find it all this within ourselves first! Then yes we can look into getting it somewhere else... And believe me, it will come!

The more you find it within you the more it will materialise in front of you! Because all will be mirroring yourself! That is all, so simple. If we are in pain we mirror pain in others and in the world, if we are in anger we project and mirror anger in others, if you are in love you project, attract and see love everywhere because all is mirroring what you are! We are connected! Gosh, this is so, so good!

So yes when you are in peace within and open the answers will come, the purpose will come to you. Sometimes it might just come in disguise so you have to give it a chance! Believe your heart, follow your instinct, trust your inner voice, your sixth sense, whatever you want to call it but go for it, because you don't know what you will find. Ok, let me explain that not always what is your purpose or what is right for you at that moment in time is a easy choice but what it will definitely be is an opportunity to grow! And that is why we are here :)

So let's not die, let's live and connect and forgive and express and love and be! X
