We are all going to “shuffle off this mortal coil.” Even those masters who are purported to have appeared to their disciples after they died had a physical death first.
When I asked about this topic, I received this:
You came forth with this idea that you were going to live forever and then was disappointed that it would not be so. This is a shared destiny and a shared thoughtform of those who incarnate on this earth — that it is somehow shameful to die or leave this platform for another. How this came into being had nothing to do with that. It had to do with recycling quickly in order to learn more. Something as transparent as that has been thought of — that the quickness of the return was designed for maximum learning and there is nothing terrible in that.
This fear that all will be lost is an unfortunate consequence of the soul’s need not to conflate all the happenings at once, but to string them out in time and to make some sort of orderly progression from one topic to another. It makes the plan into a sharp shard, one that cuts through to another and another and another lifetime, so fast that you can put it all together into a convenient learning package. That sounds cold compared to all of the emotionality associated with coming into a life and leaving it behind, but that is the truth and simplicity of it.
No one here will go through anything that has not been considered and planned in intricate detail, including all the alternatives, as decisions are made and choices found and tried and discarded. All of the benevolence you associate with this system is true and much more. So giving away the earthly goods at the end of the lifetime can be a joyous occasion as can be the sharing of the learnings and wisdom that have been brought into being through your gift of intelligence and all of the mishaps you have suffered or overcome.
Come to this joyfully and you will be in good stead with the plan and purpose of this world.
