When last person you know dies this happeneds

Yes it is, but so realistic!

Reminds me of my dad's age :((

In the end, the only thing that really matters is what we have done for others.

Peace

It doesn't matter. You end up coming back.

Death
Death occurs when a general break-up of the constitution of man takes place; nor is this break-up a matter of sudden occurrence, with the exceptions of course of such cases as mortal accidents or suicides. Death is always preceded, varying in each individual case, by a certain time spent in the withdrawal of the monadic individuality from an incarnation, and this withdrawal of course takes place coincidently with a decay of the seven-principle being which man is in physical incarnation. This decay precedes physical dissolution, and is a preparation of and by the consciousness-center for the forthcoming existence in the invisible realms. This withdrawal actually is a preparation for the life to come in invisible realms, and as the septenary entity on this earth so decays, it may truly be said to be approaching rebirth in the next sphere.

Death occurs, physically speaking, with the cessation of activity of the pulsating heart. There is the last beat, and this is followed by immediate, instantaneous unconsciousness, for nature is very merciful in these things. But death is not yet complete, for the brain is the last organ of the physical body really to die, and for some time after the heart has ceased beating, the brain and its memory still remain active and, although unconsciously so, the human ego for this short length of time, passes in review every event of the preceding life. This great or small panoramic picture of the past is purely automatic, so to say; yet the soul-consciousness of the reincarnating ego watches this wonderful review incident by incident, a review which includes the entire course of thought and action of the life just closed. The entity is, for the time being, entirely unconscious of everything else except this. Temporarily it lives in the past, and memory dislodges from the akasic record, so to speak, event after event, to the smallest detail: passes them all in review, and in regular order from the beginning to the end, and thus sees all its past life as an all-inclusive panorama of picture succeeding picture.

There are very definite ethical and psychological reasons inhering in this process, for this process forms a reconstruction of both the good and the evil done in the past life, and imprints this strongly as a record on the fabric of the spiritual memory of the passing being. Then the mortal and material portions sink into oblivion, while the reincarnating ego carries the best and noblest parts of these memories into the devachan or heaven-world of postmortem rest and recuperation. Thus comes the end called death; and unconsciousness, complete and undisturbed, succeeds, until there occurs what the ancients called the second death.

The lower triad (prana, linga-sarira, sthula-sarira) is now definitely cast off, and the remaining quaternary is free. The physical body of the lower triad follows the course of natural decay, and its various hosts of life-atoms proceed whither their natural attractions draw them. The linga-sarira or model-body remains in the astral realms, and finally fades out. The life-atoms of the prana, or electrical field, fly instantly back at the moment of physical dissolution to the natural pranic reservoirs of the planet.

This leaves man, therefore, no longer a heptad or septenary entity, but a quaternary consisting of the upper duad (atma-buddhi) and the intermediate duad (manas-kama). The second death then takes place.

Death and the adjective dead are mere words by which the human mind seeks to express thoughts which it gathers from a more or less consistent observation of the phenomena of the material world. Death is dissolution of a component entity or thing. The dead, therefore, are merely dissolving bodies — entities which have reached their term on this our physical plane. Dissolution is common to all things, because all physical things are composite: they are not absolute things. They are born; they grow; they reach maturity; they enjoy, as the expression runs, a certain term of life in the full bloom of their powers; then they "die." That is the ordinary way of expressing what men call death; and the corresponding adjective is dead, when we say that such things or entities are dead.

Do you find death per se anywhere? No. You find nothing but action; you find nothing but movement; you find nothing but change. Nothing stands still or is annihilated. What is called death itself shouts forth to us the fact of movement and change. Absolute inertia is unknown in nature or in the human mind; it does not exist. From occult glossary

You are so fucking smart...thank you for saying. I am not kidding!

All else is just blah blah blah.

Sigh.

bs

Why does anyone care if they're remembered when they're dead? If you're dead what difference does it make? Are you just going ton me back from the dead an live again and you want to make sure that people already know you for when you go back or what?

I believe in reincarnation too. But to tell you the truth, the state of the world is in, I do NOT want to come back... I wonder if we have a choice?

Thank you for the kind words although not feeling very strong at the moment, very weak in fact. Tis the season I guess.

We really are dust in the wind.....wow, just wow!!

Yes, it happens to the best if us-especially during this time of the year! When I feel weak or out-of-sorts, I repeat this:
"This too shall pass" and I does! Say it everyday, it helps; more than you can imagine!

Me too. My Father is 95. My Mom is 90. Both in good health, but watching them, I know their end is near...
I feel really really wierd, confused and lost when I think of this!

Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life, and theirs, enjoy them, and love them to the last day.

YES, we do!

Sometimes they go close to each other. I can't imagine it :(( My parents aren't that old but their parents didn't live must past their age.


Two nice ideas we talked about were carving their names into a tree trunk and using an Australian company who'll sell you a kit where you add the ashes of a loved one to grow a tree. My dad wasn't impressed :)))

My parents won't be forgotten :)

You know the deal, no one gets out alive.

That means you don't go anywhere, AKA, you just come back to be sucked off again.

If you can vibrate out you get to "heaven".

Yup... i told my little one that its the toys and money that bring true happiness. So go out and be successful to get them!

Bach, Mozart, Beethoven the Beatles.....they will never die.

Create something beautiful.

Love someone who is unloved, change a life.

Personality means nothing.

The anons....they will never die either.

T
I will do that! Thank you, ya wily ole' fox! And I mean that with love!!

Ahh shoot-I forgot to log in! LOL

I don't care if I'm remembered. I was a mistake anyway. My parents didn't want me.

Really? I love hat idea! Would you be so kind and post the info of this company? Much thanks!

Yup, I've thought about it several times. I have no kids. I will definitely be forgotten. But that's OK.

Oh no. Please don't say that. It may not be true! But if it is, find a way to forgive them! Forgiveness WILL set YOU FREE!

We will all be forgotten, one way or another... And BTW, having kids is soooo over rated! Ya ain't missing much LOL

Lol I know, I have two steps

Yes, He does.
