jackshoegazerIt may be argued that nobody can talk of Death with authority who has not died; and since nobody, apparently, has ever returned from Death, how can one know what Death is, or what happens after it?
There is not one person, indeed, not one living being, that has not returned from Death. In fact, we all have died many Deaths before we came into this incarnation. And what we call Birth is merely the reverse side of Death, like a door which we call Entrance from outside and Exit from inside a Room.
Not everyone remembers their previous Deaths, and because of this lack of remembering, most do not believe there was a previous Death. But likewise, they do not remember their recent Birth – yet the do not doubt they were recently Born.
