One of the main things we’re doing on planet earth is trying
to remember the things we forgot. But after you die, you realize a bunch of
things you didn’t know when you were alive, like:
1. Life
on earth isn’t a punishment for your past transgressions.
You aren’t acting out some type of
I-did-something-wrong-to-you-in-another-life-and-I’m-paying-for-it-now kind of
thing. It doesn’t really work like that. That concept of an eye for an eye,
tooth for a tooth karmic equalizing of the score isn’t the real deal.
2. You
chose your life circumstances before you were born for soul-type reasons that
are almost impossible to understand while you’re on earth.
If you understood these reasons, life would lose some of its
punch, and that losing of punch is a little bit of what enlightenment is all
about.
3.
Everything changes.
When you die, you realize how much. You also realize there
are immortal things, things you take with you, and they change too. The Eastern
concept of Maya, or illusion, what does that really mean? It means temporary.
4. Life
is great, even the hard parts.
And we all do things that we call mistakes. But so-called
mistakes are ok. They’re just part of the earth deal.
5.
You’re meant to engage in all kinds of things on earth, things that may not
make sense from a human point of view.
So, take a moment before you judge yourself or your fellow
man too harshly. Being completely non-judgmental while you’re alive is very
advanced, though. You’d have to be a Buddha to be that advanced.
6.
There isn’t only one right way for things to turn out.
Some endings are happier, some not so happy, but it’s not
just the happiness percentage that matters. It’s the music of it.
7.
Society teaches limitation.
No matter what you’ve been taught, everything you ever need
is already inside you. And who you really are is far beyond your comprehension.
That’s why living squeezed into the human experience can be painful at times.
8. At
the center of everything is an energy, an immaterial material called LOVE.
Wow, and how good it feels, this LOVE. You can’t imagine it.
You really can’t. There is no way for you to experience the full power of LOVE
while you’re on this plane. .
9.
Death isn’t as serious as you think it is.
