WELL, UNFORTUNATELY, IN THIS CULTURE DEATH HAS LONG BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH PUNISHMENT, AND THIS SPILLS OVER ONTO THE FAMILY AND THOSE IN ATTENDANCE. IN CULTURES ACCEPTING THE TEACHINGS OF REINCARNATION EVEN THIS OCCASIONALLY HAPPENS, ESPECIALLY IN THOSE THAT ESPOUSE REINCARNATION TO A LOWER ORDER. IF YOU REGARD DEATH AS “BAD”, THEN NATURALLY YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE ENERGY WHEN THIS “BAD” HAPPENS. ALSO, IF YOU PROJECT EXPECTATIONS OF HEALING UPON THE PATIENT AND HIS ATTENDANTS YOU ARE GOING TO FEEL A SENSE OF FAILURE WHEN YOU DO NOT FULFILL THESE EXPECTATIONS. YES, YOU CAN GO TO GREAT AND HEROIC LENGTHS TO PROLONG THE PHYSICAL LIFE, BUT OFTEN TO THE GREAT DISCOMFORT OF BOTH THE PATIENT AND HIS FAMILY. OFTEN THE DEATH OF SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN PAINFULLY ILL FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME COMES AS A DISTINCT RELIEF TO THE MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY, EVEN THOUGH THEY WOULD BE UNABLE TO VERBALIZE IT. SOMETIMES YOU CAN DO THEM A DISSERVICE BY PROLONGING AGONY THAT THEY MUST SUFFER VICARIOUSLY. IF HEALING IS TO TAKE PLACE IT WILL BE FAR MORE DRAMATIC THAN MERE ANALGESIA, AND THESE ARE THOSE CASES IN WHICH YOU MAY PUT YOUR SKILLS TO THE TASK. BUT IN CASES WHERE THERE IS NO HEALING POSSIBLE, THE MOST YOU CAN OFFER IS COMFORT, AND USUALLY THIS WOULD BE BETTER DIRECTED TOWARD THOSE TO BE LEFT BEHIND. MANY VERY ILL PERSONS HAVE AN ACUTE AWARENESS OF THEIR IMPENDING DEATH, AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS IS MANY TIMES MORE VALUABLE THAN ANY USELESS LAST DRASTIC TREATMENT. WE WOULD HOPE TO SEE IN THE FUTURE MORE COUNSELING DIRECTED TOWARD THOSE WHO WILL BE LEFT WITH A LIFE TO LIVE, AFTER THE DEATH HAS OCCURRED. MANY TIMES DURING A LONG ILLNESS THESE PERSONS NEED THE MOST HELP, CERTAINLY MORE THAN ONE WHO HAS DIED. WE WISH WE COULD GRAPHICALLY ILLUSTRATE THE AWARENESS THAT A DYING PERSON FEELS. WE FEEL THAT IT WOULD PUT YOUR FEARS TO REST. MANY TIMES THIS AWARENESS EVEN BECOMES AN INTENSE LONGING TOWARD THE LAST. YOU ALL KNOW WHERE THE LINE CAN BE DRAWN BETWEEN A CASE IN WHICH THERE CAN BE A HEALING AND THE CASE IN WHICH THERE WILL BE IMMINENT DEATH. LEVELING WITH THOSE INVOLVED WHEN THIS LINE IS DRAWN CAN BE THERAPEUTIC FOR BOTH THE PHYSICIAN AND THE PATIENT. THE GUILT OF COURSE STEMS FROM THE CONCEPT OF DEATH AS A PUNISHMENT. AFTER ALL, YOU ARE SENDING THIS SOUL TO MEET HIS FATE AND ARE THEREFORE RESPONSIBLE. THIS IS QUITE A BURDEN, AND WE ARE NOT SURPRISED THAT THIS PRODUCES FATIGUE. IT NEED NOT BE THAT WAY, BUT YOU YOURSELF MUST BEGIN TO LOOK UPON THE PHYSICAL LIFE AS MERELY A TRANSITORY THING AND NOT TO BE MOURNED. IN THE OLDER SOULS THIS BECOMES FAR EASIER, AS ALMOST ALL OF THEM WILL ACCEPT SOME CONCEPT OF PERPETUATION. WITH THE YOUNGER SOULS THIS MAY REQUIRE MORE SKILL, BUT STILL CAN BE SMOOTHLY HANDLED BY ONE WITH STRENGTH OF CONVICTIONS.

YES, WE DO SEE MUCH ARROGANCE IN THE MAN FULTON. THIS IS A FINAL LEVEL OLD SOUL “TRANSCENDENT”, AND NOT A MANIFESTATION OF A TRANSCENDENTAL SOUL. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE.

Can it be seen in a patient’s eyes when they are going to die soon, or in their aura?

INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, THERE IS ALSO A THERMAL CHANGE IN THE AURA THAT IS MEASURABLE AS IT CHANGES FROM ITS USUAL COLOR TO BLACK. BUT YES, MANY GOOD STUDENTS CAN SEE THIS IN THE EYES JUST AS CLEARLY AS THEY CAN SEE THE OVERLEAVES.

Since this is the plane in which the body is the primary vehicle for experiencing creation, we understand your concern when it does not function as you believe it should.

We will say this: Illness, debilitating elements such as accidents, chronic malfunctions, and other afflictions, are a part of human life. There is no one anywhere on this planet, and in fact anywhere in the whole of creation, who is totally free of the exigencies of the body. Some fragments are 'healthier' than others, it is true, but unless cut down in the prime of a very young adult life, there are many things that can and do go 'wrong' with the vehicle. As you are so prone to say: If it isn't one thing, it is another.

Your medical science is obsessed with 'curing' everything from ingrown toenails to the Ebola plague. And rightly so. We do not disparage them for doing what they are trained to do. We do, however, suggest that it is the way of things for the human being to succumb eventually to something that will take him/her out of each lifetime, an event you know as the 6th internal monad.

For the soldier on the receiving end of a bullet or bayonet, that monad might be a second long. For a woman afflicted with cancer, it could be many long agonizing months. Each event is part of the process of preparing for the final monad, the 7th, which is death itself.

The monastic tradition of the Christian religion used these words from its scriptures in its burial service: In the midst of life we are in death. That is not sentiment only. That is the bald truth. For those who must watch and nurse a relative or friend through the 6th Internal Monad, it is not very reassuring to remember these things. They are, nevertheless, truths to live by.

We do not wish to paint an unrelievedly shadowed picture for your contemplation tonight, but we would be remiss if we did not try to put these realities into perspective for you. The Teachings which we offer attempt to do just that.

Life is a journey of experiences of the physical plane, all the experiences that can be crammed into one cycle. Taken together with the lives of all those who have gone before and who will come after you, it is as complete an experience of the physical plane as is possible to imagine. Further, each of these experiences of illness, loss, and grief, as well as the joys, bliss, and contentment of all your lives, go to fulfilling the reason for creation: to be a wholeness, the Being of the Tao. And each of you is a part of the Tao, just as each of us is also. You just have a very difficult time remembering that when brought face to face with the work of dying.

If you choose to, take a step back from the dailyness, especially, of your connection with the frailty of the body and keep the goal of agape somewhere in your consciousness. That is not easy sometimes, we admit, and we grieve with you as you struggle to manage in this creation. We are here to guide and teach. We have been were you are now, so we know how much it takes to be human and we sincerely commiserate with your concerns. Life is a challenge and a joy, a work and a bliss. When things seem darkest, we hope you will remember these words and take some comfort from them.
