The account of death

is fascinating and uplifting. It makes life on earth easier for us when we have something far better to yearn for after our death.

Yes. She was devoutly Christian. I think her experiences were the direct result of her faith.

isn't some of that either directly from the Bible
or really close? I seem to recall chunks of "Julia's" words.

I need to take it to the next level, too. I think we are both in the same predicament. We are both clinging to what is familiar, because we fear for our family's welfare.

I was wondering if this woman's name would jump out at you. Thanks for reading.

Stuff laid down early in life is hard to resolve, because when one is little, the ability to understand abstraction does not exist. Even though it seems silly when we grow older, the need for resolution is still there. I think going back and putting words to it, and thinking it through thoroughly helps put things in perspective. Fear is truly irrational, and meeting it head on dispels its nature.

It amazes me how much time we can put into something that is irrelevant in the larger scheme of things.

avant garde...
When i will leave my hometown, i won't bring anything with me like furniture etc...i will start a new life and leave evth behind me...i think there is a similarity with this spiritual trip...but i am still scared of death...not attached to material things, but well can't get away from that fear, though...it lies very deep in my childhood, i know it...i experienced this fear around 3 at a great aunt's burial and it never went away...

Very interesting subject, Avant-Garde,

The nothingness of things, intent of the heart and mind which develop the soul, the soul/mind retain the earthly form, memories, Self; Judging not because the things which are judged also condemn the judge: the author wrote so succinctly and beautifully.  Even the Victorian language like "Fain" adds to the tone. 

A good reminder to start the day with. Thank you.

Boy, another book I need to read. I'm going to have to quit work so I can keep up on my reading!

not afraid of death
I worry not about death, but about not accomplishing the things I was put here to do

I enjoyed this
especially the passage about the nothingness of things.
