(Death) is a condition that we have brought upon ourselves so that we may pass into a greater condition with greater possibilities. ~ Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East

Our title today, Victory Over Death, may sound ridiculous to some folks. After all, isn’t death the ultimate victor, the winner in this game of life? Don’t all things end in death?

And, as A Course in Miracles says, “Where there is death, peace is impossible.” Are we doomed to never find peace in this lifetime? Or ever?

The Dying Process

We’ve said this before, but it bears repeating: Dying is the easiest thing you will ever do.

It doesn’t matter how you leave your physical body. Or how it appears to others. They may see it as painful or peaceful. But to you it is always peaceful. And it’s painless, apart from whatever fleeting moments of discomfort you may have. Often, you don’t even have those.

Those who witness the “death” of another almost never perceive what is really happening. All they see is what their physical eyes show them.

Often, the consciousness of the “dying” one has left the physical body long before physical death.

That person-consciousness is on the way home. Then they are greeted with open arms by those in spirit waiting for them. It’s a joyous reunion. It is victory of death, over what was never real to begin with.

Nothing To Fear

There is nothing to fear, except fear itself, as one of your American presidents once said.

Dying is truly the easiest thing you will ever do. Life is eternal. You are eternal. You will simply go on with your life, in deep joy and peace, continuing your work of service to all that is.

In this beautiful video, the great spiritual teacher Mooji, talks about life and death, the reality and the illusion.

He reminds me of the opening words of A Course in Miracles: “Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God.”
