How to deal with death
Is this ever ending? Yes, which is good and bad news..
The Western World Has Largely Excluded Death from Everyday Life. One could say that death has quietly or loudly even been declared the enemy. This is why it can be difficult to relate to death when we are confronted with it, either through the passing of a loved one or through the inevitability of our own mortality. People often say, “The soul goes to heaven after death” and “We will see our loved ones again there.” This text views death from a soulful perspective and seeks to create space for the understanding that “heaven” exists here and now, in our hearts. Thus, the separation between us and our departed loved ones is only an illusion. The goal is to dissolve this separation, if that is your wish, and to develop a lighter relationship with death.
What is the Soul?
The soul is an energetic body that records our experiences through emotions. Its task is simply to exist and to perceive. The soul is infinite and flows from one “vessel” to the next (see the metaphor of the water glass), recording all the information of its journey. If we so wish, we can become aware of our soul during life, consciously receive this information, and actively participate in this journey.
By allowing ourselves access to our soul and activating this conscious connection, we simultaneously begin to free ourselves from material and sensual conditioning – as the two cannot fully coexist. We start to feel the moment, the here and now – the soul – with great clarity, enjoying life without needing anything external.
What is Consciousness?
Consciousness is the process of gaining knowledge about oneself. It is created through observation. Every person develops their consciousness at their own pace. The environment in which we grow up shapes and conditions us, either supporting or slowing this process. Where an individual or collective stands in their development of consciousness is directly reflected by the questions they ask themselves.
Indicators of Becoming Conscious of the Soul’s Infinity:
Who (or what) am I truly?
Why am I here / What is my dream?
What is the truth of existence, the core of being?
Indicators of Identification with the Material and Mortal World:
What (or whom) do I own?
What do I do for work / How do I survive?
Pursuit of sensual satisfaction: What do I smell, taste, or see?
Death inevitably raises the question of what happens afterward. This question, and why death exists at all – if we are immortal souls – guides us forward.
Why Do We Die?
Death allows us to experience life, to merge with it fully, and to perceive it as the only existence. The soul decides to leave the vessel of the body once it has experienced everything it wished to, or when this is no longer possible (e.g., due to excessive ego or a consciousness of separation).
What Happens After Death?
When the body is left, the soul flows “into the next vessel” and remembers that everything was and is only a space/time continuum. It enters “heaven” and “returns home,” where its soul family awaits. They exist together in a timeless, spaceless realm, united through their resonance.
This soul family often mirrors itself in earthly worlds, but in different constellations. Here, the souls exchange their experiences, rejoicing in the great mystery that everything happens now and is infinitely experienceable. Communication happens emotionally, and the fundamental emotion from which all others are formed is love. When we become formless, we suddenly become aware of this, as we feel infinite vastness and love.
Focusing on the soul’s journey to loved ones and soul family, as described above, allows us to imagine these higher-dimensional experiences. For completeness, two additional notes are provided in the appendix.
How Do Grief and Pain Arise?
Grief arises from the sadness that a being is no longer physically present with us. This is a natural and essential process for all our cells. Pain arises from resisting this grief and from the physical absence of the loved one.
If we identify solely with our physical body and the material world, we lack access to the soulful realm, which makes the healing process of grief more difficult. When death is perceived as a “black hole” and the afterlife is considered nonexistent, the departed leave behind a soul-level void, against which resistance is an intuitive reaction.
Once our cells have grieved and realize, over time, that they survive and “life goes on,” they begin to regenerate healthily, and energy returns. When the soul-level void is also closed and resistance resolved, the pain dissolves as well.
How Do We Let Go of Pain?
By releasing the illusion of death as a separation from life. How? We open ourselves to this information, listen, talk about it, and communicate with the soulful realm.
Once this consciousness is achieved, everything becomes obvious. However, this awareness is often suppressed within us or deeply buried due to conditioning. But the knowledge of eternal soulful life exists within you and is activated by your intention.
Key Question: Do you wish to consider the possibility of eternal life and eternal communication?
If so, proof and corresponding feelings will arise, filling the void entirely and transforming heaviness into lightness and vitality.
Practical Steps to Support This Process
To accompany this process optimally, speak or think the following affirmations aloud:
Yes, I allow myself to grieve. (Feel into yourself, allow it.)
Yes, I allow for the possibility of eternal life. (Feel into yourself, allow it.)
Thank you. (Feel into yourself, let it settle.)
How Can We Facilitate This Process?
By releasing identification with “I as the grieving,” “I as the suffering,” or “I as the victim.” Accept the soul’s decision to leave its body. In its infinite wisdom and kindness, the soul had its reasons, even if those reasons are not yet clear to our consciousness.
By accepting the possibility of experiencing life more deeply and shifting our observations and questions toward the soulful realm, rather than focusing solely on the physical world.
Yes, I allow the thought of eternal life to become a possibility in my mind and my life.
APPENDIX
Regarding What Happens After Death
Note A: Is there hell? No. What happens after death first depends on what we believe, hold onto, or carry within us. Only then do we experience the “heavenly” state described earlier. How we experience death can therefore be as different as how we experience life. What determines this? How we encounter fear – do we run from it, or ask what it wishes to reveal to us?
Note B: The soul is also a complex structure made of parts that may continue developing independently based on their resonance. What determines this? Your belief in your unity – can you forgive and also ask for forgiveness?
Ultimately, nothing judges us but our own beliefs about ourselves. The soul is part of God, and therefore God is part of us. Our belief in the soul reflects our belief in ourselves. This is the first and final truth regarding the Last Judgment, which mirrors our purity.
