When I’m teaching the practical mysteries that is end of life preparation, I assume that we’re all healing from death denial and death illiteracy. To me that means that that for most of us the act of dying, the state of being dead, the contemplation of death, and the grieving of the dead has been kept out of sight. Out of reach.

That that also likely means is that we’ve rarely discussed death with others, we haven’t been around much death (or much conscious death), we haven’t had an opportunity to consider our own deaths and what happens after death (on the practical/physical level and to our consciousness or essence), we haven’t been actively engaged in our own contemplation about death, and we aren’t able to access much wisdom from others.

THIS IS NOT TRUE IN OTHER CULTURES.

And was not true in other times. And does not have to be true for us.

If you’d like to explore death together, consider my End-of-Life Preparation Immersion Course, which is a deep dive, a mystery school of sorts.

Death is an invitation to keep your heart open
