Why Must Each Soul Taste Death?

In death, the reason for life is more visible. Death of the physical body is necessary for the lesson to be learned.  The universe is in motion, constantly changing, connected by energy, recreating itself according to various designs. This is our destiny as well.

To the poet, life is like an afternoon at the shore.  The sunlight, ocean spray, sand, and multitude of sea creatures are to be enjoyed.  We come for a few hours, experience the many sensations with family and friends, then return renewed to our other duties and life.

As we rest and watch the motion of the ocean waves, they remind us of our lasting nature. We are children of spirit who came into this realm to enjoy the afternoon sunshine, learn, work, serve and move on. Death of the physical body is necessary so the spiritual lesson is learned; our lasting nature is of spirit and like the universe, after the physical death we continue to evolve and celebrate.

The body is a wonder of nature and evolution, yet, derives its driving force or energy from spirit.  This magnificent, efficient, and highly complex organism is created, has work to do then returns to the elements from which it came. This cycle exists to remind us of our relationship with the Divine. We are here for an enjoyable afternoon, have work to do and journey on; eventually to return home.

In time, the sting of death is replaced with peace, acceptance and knowledge, we are children of Light. 

And our lasting destiny is to dance across the stars, illuminating the Darkness.
