Knowing how to live and knowing how to die
Are you afraid of death? If you answered yes, this writing could help you to change your mind. If you answered no, the next question is: How are you preparing for this passage?
Seneca said, “It takes your entire life to learn how to live, and it takes your entire life to learn how to die.” Paradoxically, being aware of our own death allows us to live with more attention and presence in every moment, as if we were polishing the glasses through which we look at life.
Since the origins of Damanhur, Falco Tarassaco devoted much attention to the theme of death. His first book, Learning to Die, inspired all of us to begin a journey of preparation for experiencing this moment. How?
First of all, by writing a spiritual and material will, regardless of our age, communicating what we would like to happen at the moment of our departure, leaving letters to our loved ones, thanking them for what we have experienced together. Doing this creates a special emotion that accompanies an equally special feeling of peace… Don’t believe it? Give it a try!
Another important aspect is to plan the point of re-emergence of our soul. What does this mean? When we die, we enter into a kind of “dream state.” Our connection with this plane of existence is becoming more subtle every day, and we can remain in contact with particular points connected to this dimension until we distance ourselves definitively, some time after physical death. Choosing a point of “re-emergence”, as we call it, is important because it allows us to recognize the place where we will find ourselves once we are deceased.
Choosing a point of “re-emergence”, as we call it, is important because it allows us to recognize the place where we will find ourselves once we are deceased. If the place has a spiritual density, it helps us in the transition period, which lasts approximately 70 days from the moment of physical death.
These are just two examples of how we prepare for the passage between life and death. Would you like to know more?
