Life and death

Within death is the purest form of life.

Which is why people feel most at peace in near-death experiences. When they tell the story of their experience, they regret being “pulled back” into life as we know it.

Meditation has been found to provide such an experience too, as you let go of judging thoughts and circumstances, you free yourself from becoming, and fully immerse yourself in being.

At the core of being, life and death are indistinguishable.

Life as we know it, is chaotic. It is impatient.
Death as we know it, is still. It is patient.

A living body remains ever chaotic, until it finds the calm of death.

– Osasu Oviawe

God’s temple

1 Corinthians 3:16 – 17
Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? If any one destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and that temple you are.

Homily:

Man-made temples are designed to mimic God’s temple.

The image that man creates is so powerful, that it distracts from the true being.

We care for the mirror more than we care for the body, and then we wonder why the image we see keeps wasting away.

Wake up and see. You are God’s temple. God is ever-present within. Live accordingly.
