Death and Enlightenment

By Victor M Fontane

The most feared moment by human beings is the end of our physical vehicle.

But, we must remember that we are spiritual beings that are trapped in the physical matter or illusion. This is why the real time of celebration is in the so -called death because we return to our true state of being, the spiritual. The birth moment therefore is not celebrated. Thus, purifying our mind help to face this process and even the possibility of become enlightened after our pass to the spiritual realm.

The fear felt during this process is the result of our ignorance and attachments to physical matter and not recognizing and understanding that our real goal is to achieve the state of enlightenment, supreme consciousness in union to the divinity and as part of it.

To achieve this and avoid suffering and fear, the purification of our mind is necessary and is achieved, among other forms, with altruistic thoughts and actions, compassionate attitude towards all sentient beings, including all kingdoms, detachments towards all aspects of the material world, etc.
