As time goes by thoughts of death loom large!

I've not thought about my own but have attended too many wakes to remember each one in detail.

SunnyOne, Great post (by the way, I loved the Grim Reaper you left on my blog). We are definitely not our bodies. Neither are we our emotions. We are not even our thoughts. Blessings. MoonSpirit

Hi Schatz!
I agree.  I hear and believe that time is not linear...so yes, I think it's very possible that you may be incarnated in an earlier time period.  
Thanks for your thoughts!

I see the body as a suit of clothing, like a mechanic's coveralls. Ziiiiiip and you're free of it.  Then on the road to bigger and better things, with your soul intact.

Here's one thing I hope for: I hope time is not like a piece of string, stretching in chronological order. I hope when I reincarnate next time I get to be born in Scotland in the late 1700's, or in India in the 80's, whatever. Somewhere new and different.

I see.  It's true.  In human form, we are geared for survival.  It is our natural instinct to want to "survive".
Thanks for your comments.

It's not forced for some....
because most people don't want to die..

That's an interesting view of things.  Why do you think it's a forced thing?

Because we are not our bodies.  They only contain us for a brief moment of eternity.  A vehicle for our human form.
Just like a car. You get in and can drive to take you were you want to go, then you get out. You are not the car. Neither are we our bodies.
Make sense?

I deal with it as if one was being forced...
without will to a new destination, in a new body and life of some sort. Well, some folks look for it.

What makes you to be so sure that death is shedding of one's shell .
Good question ?
