Confronting Infinity
Borders between life and
death have moved from science fiction to exploratory science. Paranormal
studies were once only a fringe study. Now the fringe is rapidly becoming main stream.
Since man’s inception into this universe he has suspected there is more to being
human than a physical self. The word soul has been named in a thousand
different ways all with similar meanings: a detached ethereal component of the human
body which lives on after physical death. A more modernistic approach to the definition
is an incorporeal entity that exists at the quantum level which is
indestructible and lives on after all physical activity ceases. Pick your
choice both definitions imply a transition into another mode of reality. With
great privilege and humility I was allowed to be part of the dying process of
hundreds who I knew well in life. These patients and a few friends were aware
their time was short in this living environment. One specifically stands out. A
former teacher nearing the age of 95 was under my care in a nursing home. Her
mind was as sharp as the proverbial tack. The subject of death often crossed
her mind. She believed ( I am paraphrasing) a door opened somewhere to let the
departed through. I never saw any fear
in her. All I can state from my humble perch is every human will confront this
transition, believers or not, that there is an awakening somewhere else. This
is one man’s opinion without proselytizing his intrinsic beliefs.
