You Die, We Grieve, They Rejoice by Michael Burke - HTML preview

EPILOGUE

Once you have truly understood on a spiritual level what has transpired as it pertains to death and the grieving process, you will be prepared to move on with your life, either here in the physical world or that of the spiritual world.  Those who remain in the physical world need to look to their future.

There is a need to create peace and end suffering for one’s self, your community, and the world.  Bringing peace to your own being may seem impossible, and so might that of bringing peace to others.  Yet know that bringing peace to others is what fosters peace in your life.

Simply Consider The Following:

Once you emerge from your grief, no matter what caused your grief, focus on what matters to you, but only the things that you can carry from this life to the next, no matter where you believe you may or may not go.

There is no need to worry about gathering money and possessions, for they are not taken from this world when you make your exit.

There are those in this world who have far less then you, their basic needs are not met.  They need food and shelter.  Share with them.  Not only through money, but by direct action; help your neighbor!

Take time for daily reflection, meditation or prayer (what you call it is not important for it is all the same action, and it creates the same outcome) for understanding yourself and for creating peace.  Just five minutes a day and that peace you create will spread throughout the world.

There is no reason to force our beliefs onto another person or group.  Peace and love is experienced when each person understands that there may be differences visible to the eye, but that we all are the same.  We are all souls, energy beings having a life on this earth.  We all have fears, hopes, and wants; there is no reason for fighting and segregating when we are all truly the same, only born from a different position and time on this earth.

We need to let others share their beliefs and world views with us.  Not forcing others to believe a certain idea or restricting another’s actions, beliefs, or movements.  Outlawing, banning, or belittling the mind or thoughts of another only further alienate us from that group or person.  Making it more difficult in the future to make amends and create peace.

In worldly affairs we should respond with medical help and food, not guns and violence.  Access to food, shelter, and education will eliminate many wars, and the suffering experienced by many throughout the world.  We should work for peace; we should be a peacekeeping force.

Start here, start by having patience, start by helping the less fortunate, start by helping those who need basic necessities of life.  Focus on your mind, your beliefs, your virtues, for these things matter the most.  Open your mind to your potential, the potential for peace, the possibility for love.  Look at the world around you and see how much of those already exist.

Ride a bike, walk, hike, camp; not to simply save money, or to cut down on pollution, but to experience the complex beauty that nature has provided for you.

God has allowed you this lifetime, no matter what your circumstances; you can create peace and healing not only for yourself and family, but for your neighbor’s and community as well.  Let us all together spread harmony and love throughout the world.
