      What Death Can Teach Us

      Oct 30, 2017

      Life and death are a package deal. You cannot pull them apart. In Japanese Zen, the term shoji translates as “birth-death”. There is no separation between life and death other than a small hyphen, a thin line that connects the two. We cannot be truly

      Introduction

      Through meditation and the lessons learned from everyday experience a person becomes able to organize, intensify, and enhance both their inner life and outer sensory experience to such a degree that a threshold is crossed whereby one can say I know that from the inside. This is a fully attainable goal for everyone, regardless of external circumstance. A human being can be considered a creative center that thinks, feels, speaks, and acts, causing a cascade of effects and repercussions throughout the world … in each and every moment. It is therefore important to be cautious in our speech, in our use of words. It is important to choose to think one thought and not the other. Both thought and word are causal and their effects both multiply and expand, all mostly unseen.

      This book is written for people who search for depth and fulfillment, yet for whom conventional answers to conventional questions are not sufficient. It is either a quick or slow read depending upon how it is used. The following thoughts can be either meditated upon or taken simply as a quick hint for the approaching day.

      Be quiet inside.

      Do not emote.

      Watch the sun this morning, as it rises.

      You do not have to do it every day, just this morning.

      Let the sun create a feeling inside you, inside the quiet you have created. This feeling belongs to the sun, not to you. You are its witness and have given yourself the opportunity to let into your heart the great wide world.

      2.

      Wake up early.

      Be kind to an animal today … a dog or cat or horse or any of many wonderful creatures. The cognitive chasm between you two traverses eons in evolutionary time and is an abyss of consciousness. But there he or she is and here you are, so strange, yet familiar
