Death, Time, and Struggle

Okay, let's say that we got a sudden psychic premonition that we were going to die exactly three years from now. The premonition is so strong and clear that there is no doubt as to its veracity. Would we fight it and try to change it with our thinking, ordaining it away? Or would we "give up the struggle and allow a quiet and non-resistant departure"? And if we did "give up the struggle", would we suddenly find that life was very different without "the struggle"? Without the struggle, would we find that it really did not matter how much time we had left?

The key elements here are time and struggle. THEY ARE VERY RELATED! If we change our concept of either one, then our concept of death must also change.

And if we really truly have free will, then we cannot die unless it is a choice on at least some level. This, of course, begs the question, "Why would any of us choose death?"

The two main reasons people choose to die are time and struggle. There are those two words again. Most of us choose to die because we are tired of struggling, or because we don't like this time and want to move on to a different time. The method we use to die, whether it is being hit by a bus, dying in an earthquake, having a heart attack, cancer, or being murdered, is just the tool we employ to carry out the choice we made at whatever level.

Sometimes, we die because it is the only way we know how to change.

So it would seem that the way to overcome death would be to change our perception of time and struggle, and to learn how to change. Change is utilizing death without dying.
