Divine Utterances:
Death & Dying

Death makes your entire life bullshit.

Easy Death

For human beings, death Is A Proposition and A Puzzle That Must Be Understood and Transcended (By Correct and Revealing Information, or Fullest Education, and By The Real Process Of self-Transcendence). There Is No Peace For human beings Until This Matter Is Resolved.

Eleutherios

You are mortal, and entirely subject to the Mercy of the Divine. You own nothing, and you know nothing. No technique of meditation leads to the Divine Being, and there is nothing to be believed that is the Truth. Rather, you must be touched in your feeling by the unspeakable suffering of this world and return everything to the Self-Existing and Self-Radiant Divine Person.

The Incarnation of Love

It seems trivial to say that everyone dies, but it really is the case. Love your way beyond it. Do not take it. The heart cannot accept it.

May 7, 1997

The gross (physical) human body is, literally, a death machine. It is not merely, in fact (or as a result of some future conditions), going to die — it is (now, and from its beginnings) patterned to die. Indeed, it intends to die, and even makes itself die. It progressively brings itself to death.

Thus, from the moment of its birth (and even from its conception), the gross (physical) human body — in and of itself — is not about life, but about death. Therefore to truly be about life requires a unique and profound disposition.

"Right Human Life Must Transcend the Materialist 'Culture' of Death" (September, 2003)
Adidam

When the death time comes, you do not know necessarily, but the body-mind-complex knows exactly how to do it and is completely capable of it. . . So death is no big deal. Living is the big deal. Transcending egoity while you are here, while you are alive, that is the big deal.

March, 1993

Realize the Wonder, the Eternal Unknowability of the Totality of Existence, and fear of death is transcended.

The Eating Gorilla Comes In Peace

Everybody dies from time to time and simply falls into the subtler atmosphere of the earth and is born again. That's just the physics of this cycle of birth and death in which nothing really great is accomplished merely by dying.

"Love is the Test of Human Existence" (1978)

Instead of fearing your death, intentionally use your life as a sacrifice. Make it a right and positive sacrifice, a service of love, of compassion, without self-concern. Not serving separate self — serving the Ecstasy of the Whole.

"The 'Reality' You Are Asking Questions About Is Your Own Illusion" (April 22, 1995)
The Completing Discourses of the 25-Year Revelation

Fear of death is fear of surrender to Infinity. Learn to surrender, to exist at Infinity while alive, and fear of death dissolves.

The Eating Gorilla Comes In Peace

Get up from bed and drop dead!

The one thing you fear is death, because you are holding on to your egoic self. If you give up your egoic self by turning to Me (moment to moment), you die as the ego-"I". You transcend the physical and mental limitations of the egoic self.

"Get Up from Bed and Drop Dead!"
Easy Death

Real meditation is death. If you enter into it most profoundly, you must let what you fear happen. You must be willing to move into the shuddering that you know represents the last moment of life and the loss of consciousness in this particular form. Ultimately, you must be able to let meditation be that profound.

August, 1982

Death is utterly acceptable to consciousness and life. There has been endless time of numberless deaths, but neither consciousness nor life has ceased to arise. The felt quality and cycle to death has not modified the fragility of flowers, even the flowers within the human body. Therefore, one's understanding of consciousness and life must be turned to that utter, inclusive quality, that clarity and wisdom, that power and untouchable gracefulness this evidence suggests. We must cease to live in our superficial and divided way, seeking and demanding only consciousness and life in the present form we grasp, avoiding and resisting what appears to be the end of consciousness and life in death.

Prologue, The Knee Of Listening

The Mystery, or Happiness, is greater than death. Everyone who has ever lived has died. But the Mystery goes on and on.

adaptation for children, The Knee Of Listening

This conditional "world" passes.
This "everything" always dies. . .
Therefore, Fall Awake in Me!

The body-mind is a mere appearance floating in the Infinite Sea of Undifferentiated Happiness Which you visit, by My Grace, in Communion with Me, and even touch upon daily in the Grace of sleep. So much for death, then. So much for the daily news.

"The Infinite Sea of Undifferentiated Happiness" (August 15, 1995)
The Completing Discourses of the 25-Year Revelation

Even though death rules to here, there is an indivisible eternal Sun over-head. And that eternal Sun is — beyond even all conditional visibility. . . . I Am that eternal Sun — the (Self-"Bright") Midnight Sun, apparently (and infinitely) above all-and-All, and always already free-Standing, beyond (or perfectly prior to) all-and-All.

The Scapegoat Book

While you live in conditional form, you make mind — you create the psyche, through associations, repetitions, reinforcement. When you die and the body drops off, mind makes you — after death, you live in the world of mind as you have created it while alive.

"This Liberating Impulse" (February 1, 1985)
Easy Death

Death is a living process. It is not an ending. It is a very profound transformation.

"Death Is a Living Process"
Easy Death

Above all, tension and fear must be relaxed during the death process (as it must be in the case of a woman in childbirth). You must relax and release, as when going to sleep — in a feeling of deep trust, love, and surrender to the Divine Reality on Which the process depends.

"The Truth About Death"
Easy Death

There is Truth — but you have to deal with death. If it does not touch death, then it has nothing to do with Truth. Truth has to deal with death now — because "now" is a potential moment of death.

December 21, 2004

You must participate in death — and it is best to become congenial with it while alive. Begin to become involved in death as a psychic event, an energy-event — and (in due course) be relieved of your fear through the Spiritual process in My Avataric Divine Company.

Easy Death

Therefore, in order for death to be an ecstatic transition for you, you must not only study and prepare for the specific and terminal process of death itself, but (while alive) you must also devote yourself to an ecstatic (or ego-transcending) way of life.

"The Truth About Death"
Easy Death

If you practice ego-transcendence while alive — through the practice of the Way of Adidam that I have Revealed and Given to you — then the physical event of death is just another moment of a process that you have engaged all the while.

Easy Death

I want to Wake Up every being into this Ecstasy in the midst of death.

"For The Love" (November 26, 1984)

What I have to say to anyone who is immediately facing death is the same as what I have to say to all. All are confronting the same situation. Life is brief and mortal — and you cannot make it not be brief and mortal. But you can change the purposes by which you live, and stop living for egoic purposes. You can become a renunciate and live a Divine life.

Easy Death (October 24, 2001)

If you think death is a semicolon, take a colonic.
