The mind is the most powerful tool known to man. There are forces in the world that do not want you to know that. I have been playing with this stuff for forty years and I am as lucid as a cucumber.

And just where does the cucumber rank on the vegetable scale?

They've been saying this forever. Most died of old age.

I've seen different twists on this (body, mind, and soul) but they're mostly fairly consistent with each other, from what I've seen.
When you combine that with the beliefs that exist in the energy of the universe and how it is responsible for all life, it shapes up into something that seems to be quite understandable.
It all presents some interesting, if not fascinating possibilities about what life is all about, why we are here, and where we might be going after we're finished with the physical body.

I've been exposed to this kind of thing for a long time...most Japanese are Buddhists and believe in reincarnation...it's kind of a "common sense" thing over there.
I know lots of people over there who do Reiki healing (just simple healing using energy) and even know of one doctor who has performed what we might call "miracles" with energy healing, and I've personally witnessed the results. It's not one of those "you have to believe in it" things...he just heals people whether they believe in energy healing or not, but he's fairly unique (powerful). There are lots of other disciplines that refer to "energy", including some forms of Yoga.
I used to work with a guy in his 60s in Japan and he slept on a slab of granite every night and did meditation daily. He partied like a 30 year old, and was the youngest 60-something guy I've ever known. I was in my late 30s and the old bugger could drink me under the table and be up at 5:30 the next morning, raring to go. I did take up the meditation but still haven't made it to the sleeping on a hunk of rock stage. Yet.
I have a pretty open mind on this stuff, having lived over there for a number of years. There is lots we don't know, even if we think we know it all (although I can't think of anyone in particular like that at the moment!)...

Talking about "life after death" makes a lot of people very uncomfortable, but I've never figured out why. To me, it's all very fascinating in spite of the fact that we don't have scientific proof of any of it.
My opinion is that there must be more to it than just being a piece of meat that's here for a few years, and then planted to rot. Or get burned up. That seems to be a rather shallow version of it all, but maybe we're just not meant to know all these things. I figure that could be why it's a mystery to us - what's wrong with a little mystery? Keeps life (as we think we know it) more interesting.

I believe there is more than just dying and dust to dust etc. You cannot just be with a dying person who is yelling at their mother that they will soon be there and watch them die right then and not believe there is something. I know I've told you this story before but again, as I said before, that man sat upright in his bed with the strength of a lion and yelled something at what to me looked like a bare wall. Then he fell backwards on his bed only to rise up one more time and yell the same thing again. I didn't know what he was saying as he was Albanian. Another Albanian woman in the room told me that he was telling his mother he would be there soon. He rose up a second time with the same strength, yelled the same words and died! I talked with our minister (right there in Vernon) and he said there just has to be something. He said he had been with so many dying people and what I witnessed was not un-common. I've never been in a room with a dying person before or since. I know enough about the S. Browne's of this world to know she is phony! I don't believe that anyone can talk to dead people.

The elders refer to the Earth as the Mother because she is the source of all life living on this planet. She is a living entity without whose energy there would be no living things on this rock.
But our perception of reality is based on our beliefs about it, so those who hold to the rock of their beliefs will limit their perception and miss out on experiencing a much greater vision of reality. Dying is not the end of the journey, it is just another portal to another leg of it.

A positive attitude can help deal with the ravages of aging but as anyone who knows anything about nature knows death comes to us all.
