To Die Before You Die

Spiritual teachers say that to ‘die before we die’ is a requirement on the road to enlightenment, but what does this really mean? The words ‘to die’ hold feelings of endings, loss, and bereavement, so examining how we regard death, and even immortality, might help us to arrive at a place where this statement makes sense to our conscious minds.

Ancient spiritual traditions had insights into immortality, but over time these were lost or misunderstood. The Mayans, in their Pyramid of Fire Codex page eleven, say that if man returned the occult energy in their heart to the sun, it would make them immortal. The ancient Egyptians believed it was possible to ascend their ethereal bodies into the higher dimensional fields of the universe by-passing physical death, through a ritual using the spiritual technology of the pyramids. These references to transcendence by the ancients show us that they did not see death as an end.

To re-capture this spiritual heritage of immortality, it is worth looking at what our bodies are made of and how they age.

Today, in the accepted human condition, the body grows old, degenerates, and dies. This is something that we all know and experience in the world of form. Our bodies age as the cells that form them comply with the matrix of our beliefs and thoughts, to produce or out-picture what is in our minds: the ageing, decaying formula that we accept as real. The cells that renew our bodies are still subject to our beliefs, which we continue to produce according to what is in our minds; but although our bodies age, they are really a play of light and energy.
