You are dying

I wrote a lengthy chapter in Dancing After The Music Stops on this.

You have 100% chance of dying.

Dying isn’t what you do at the end of your life. Dying is what you are. Dying is just like living: just like you live through and by every breath you take.

In this culture that doesn’t believe in endings, how are people suppose to come of age and become elders and teachers and soul companions?

In this culture that doesn’t believe in finalities and postpone ad infinitum the predicament embedded at the very core of our being, how are our youth suppose to experiment the curvature of the arc of life which is the very line that enthrals us into the myriad of experiences that composed what we call “life”?

In this culture that rewards safety and comfort and condemns risk and challenges, aren’t we training a whole generation to become plants? Drones? Zombies?

If there’s no dying, then there’s no living. Dying is good, just as living is good. There’s no living without dying. I cannot emphase this strong enough. Your life isn’t even yours: it’s a gift bestowed to us by the gods, and we are the heirs of this higher form of energy (call it whatever you want, “One”, “Jesus”, etc) that paved the way to the kingdom of the gods (the highest possible good that can be).

Your life is a gift for you to give back to the world. And so is your death. Your dying is an active gift to humanity. And right now, this is prohibited. We became a generation without elders, without teachers, without givers. It didn’t start in 2020: this has been going on for at least 80 years.

But now being a giver is illegal.

It’s no longer permitted to be a human being in this world.

What’s wrong with dying? Why is dying so bad? Ask your health officer in your province/state. Since when did the government care about your life or your dying?

It’s easy: you make zombies/drones/stormtroopers when you revoke their rights to die. That’s the ONE thing they remove in jail. That’s what makes a jail, a jail. They remove your ability to check out of the game. You cannot die in jail. They won’t let you.

They transformed this planet into an open sky jail now. Removing this god-given right of dying, dying well, is also removing this right of living, living well.

Out.
