Death does not exist. There is no death!

My emotions are like on a roller coaster...trying to deal with my dog's illness is a challenge. There is also this belief that I have that my father will not be able to live without his dog. He calls him doctor. The dog is his only true friend, his only companion. My father is a very lonely man who does not realize the connection between mind and body. After our first dog died, my father developped arithmia. A few years ago, his heart almost stopped and he had to have a pacemaker implanted. So, yes, that worries me!

On the other hand, I am physically feeling incredibly good. I feel light and energetic. Lately, I have been having green smoothies regularly, been eating mainly sprouts and germinated legumes and have added superfoods. I feel so energized that it is almost a contradiction to feel sad.

So, to deal with the current situation, I am repeating myself that death does not exist. The body dies, but the "me" the "essence" is immortal and remains. Even though I have experienced this a few years ago in a meditative state, I tend to forget. During this wonderful experience, my body dissolved, I was pure energy moving up and down. It was blissful and lasted just long enough for me to become aware of it. As soon as I realized what was happening and thought I had reached nirvana (haha) I brutally came back to my senses...As I had been taught; do not resist bad sensations and do not try to hold on to agreable sensations either!! Everything is impermanent! Life is change and nothing remains. All is energy.

Hi blissionary,

Thank you :)

Did you read the book "The LIfe and Teachings of the Masters of the East" written by Baird Spalding? It talks about immortality...it's actually a series of books.

While I was doing a 10-day Vipassana retreat, I experienced the body dissolving and only pure energy remaining...a state of bliss. I have no idea how long it lasted, but I remember that all there was was ENERGY flowing up and down, no thoughts, no physical feelings, no pain, no awareness of the body anymore...just a wonderful calm and joy.

If you are talking about past life memories; those can sometimes come through dreams as well. I haven't experienced any during meditation, but, it could be possible.

I believe such memories come back up to the surface, naturally, when we are ready :)
