Death

Death is another life journey. Some how over the centuries, death has some how become a villain. Instead of people looking at it as just another of life's journeys and something to be embraced. People look at it as the ultimate end, when nothing could be further from the truth. It is the ending of one chapter and the beginning of a new one.

As children we had class room experiments we had to do with meal worms. When the meal worm died it turned into a beetle and when the beetle died it turned back into a meal worm. Same with the butterfly, it metamorphosis from a Caterpillar to a butterfly. You can equate it with reincarnation. The  cycle is never ending.

You go from the living reality or dimension to another reality when you die. The soul is immortal, so even though the flesh dies the soul never will. This fear of death keeps us from realizing our true potential by making us a victim by feeding this fear.

One of the things, I know for sure is that your loved one's are constantly checking in with you. They are not locked away on the other side like hostages. They come and visit you even if they have crossed over. Even ancestors that you've never met in this life time still care about you. They know when you have been born they watch you grow. It is a very loving relationship.

They're presence is always announced. You will usually smell something that was unique to them when they were alive. Sometimes its a perfume, or maybe they smoked a cigar and you notice that smell from time to time.
These are all signs that they are around you.

That's why sometimes the fear someone has before they pass is what keeps them from crossing over. The fear that they won't be able to see they're loved one's when they're gone. This is what can keep them earth bound or make them remain a ghost. This false truth that when they die they can never come back to visit they're families.

Other cultures embrace death as a beautiful process and not something to fear. They know that loved one's are always around them and that they have crossed over. The dying are taught that when they see they're deceased relatives it is cause for celebration and not something to fear. Those relatives are there to help them cross over to the other side and teach them that this is not the end. They will always be able to check in on their families.

Creating Your Own Stage

One of the things that I started to play with in 2006 was my own reality. I would have holiday events with family. I decided before going to the event that I would not focus on old history of the player and their personalities. I would approach them as though they were a clean slate.

What I found is that when I approached them without prejudgment they responded better and our interactions were more positive. We started to have adult conversations and history started to slip away.
By the end of the evening, the people that had previously attacked me openly were now attacking new prey at these events.

I got to be the observer of this sophisticated play and enjoy the show instead of having to participate in it. This is also in "The Course of Miracles" book. I've never been drawn to read it, but then I like to do my own thing a lot.

I am enjoying my new reality with my family. It has less drama and conflict. I'm not excusing the people that behave in this destructive manner. I'm just not having to engage them as much. Next time your a little bored, you might want to give it a try. I had tried this for more than three years at these events.

I also found that other people couldn't stand some of the Drama queens at these events either. My life is getting less stressful bit by bit. I have tried this in the corporate arena as well.

This is one way that I'm usually able to bridge gaps in an organization. I come into the organization with a clean slate. I approach the departments that I'll have to work with the same courtesy. I don't listen to whose the villain or prejudge the players of the departments. I judge them from my experience with them on a daily basis. That doesn't mean there wont be jerks or bullies in the work place.

I've had a pretty successful track record on getting the departments to work well across the organization. That's one of the things that I'm the most proud of.
