Death The Unwritten Reality !
A conversation from The Profit Bishop Khushmanish Maat.
1.It’s a guarantee …
2.We should embrace it ……
3.We should have more conversation about it, beyond the conversation for preparation to leave……
The thought or concept that Death is evident lives in all of our minds, hearts and consciousnesses, in fact it’s such a part of our breathing that we simply don’t pay it any attention until it is relevant and like breathing we don’t pay any attention to how this marvel is occurring in us or to us until we are having trouble breathing or simply can’t breath. Then we look over to the person we love or care deeply about and see them not breathing and boom, Houston we have a problem! Up until that moment most of us didn’t plan for it, are not ready for it and are the most shocked and taken back by it.
We are the most taken back by people in creation, as if DEATH wasn’t going to happen or if there was supposed to be a right time for it to happen. Oh my God do you feel that! The not ready for DEATH part acceptable by all means, but the right time for DEATH part that’s a conversation for the ages. Then there’s the way we DIE part. Unbelievable the notion that there’s a right way to DIE or that we can control the way we DIE, UNBELIEVABLE. Now I say this with all humility as I understand these feelings, they’re our very humanistic side which dominates our sensory when we are struck by finality of life.
Life and death are finalities without question. You look at life and say how is life a finality? Well, the finality of life is that once you are born it’s final. The record of your existence is now forever in existence that you came to life you lived. How simplistic is this reality, some take it for granted and some live their best life! Some never get a chance, some get second and third chances. Yeah; it gets complicated, but it’s all balled up into one sure thing for any of these things to matter is that life was and is established for anything to occur. Then there is the finality that death is the end. The most quotable and notable to the biblical scholars is : Psalms 116:15- ESV. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the DEATH of his saints. Ecclesiastes 7:1-4, ESV. A good name is better than precious ointment, and the day of DEATH than the day of BIRTH. It is better to go to the house of mourning than go to the house of feasting, for this is the end of all mankind, and the living will lay it to heart. Sorrow is better than laughter, for by sadness of face the heart is made glad.
The Heart of the wise is in the house of MOURNING, but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth. So, in these scriptures here we see that the understanding of Death is one that says death is better than living. Anyone with half of a brain would ask the obvious, which is then why live if the creator says that Death is better and all that is on the other side is better period. Well in concept for me is the minor understanding that how would you know black if there was no white, how would you know tall if there was no small, how would you know boy if there was no girl. Oooooh weeeee, to think simplistically that the creator of all things said, I’m gonna show you all things and mannerisms so you could appreciate me creating you.
So, life being this ball of unexplainable things and creations you now as a human know what joy, sadness, fun, pain And Life and Death is. And yes, the ultimate is why? Why may just be on the other side, because we know one thing for sure he lets us know that it’s better to die than to live because the cares of this world that have hurt people and drove them mad are no longer able to affect us once we depart from the flesh. In my thoughts and feelings, I say how can I get someone to grasp this concept of death being better than life. I know the human mind is not really ready to digest this concept, when a mother is burying her child, a son his father, a wife her husband after 30-40 years of being together. Where does this thought or concept seem to fit in any of these equations, it just simply doesn’t, and I can name so many more that this wont fit in either. Though there are equations that do seem ok to fit this in, like the Baby born with an incurable disease, a person in a bad accident of some sort not being able to live like they used to and the Dr is saying it’s not going be a good life at all if they survive. To these points it seems acceptable everyone would say it is better in these situations that a person be taken out of their misery not hard to imagine nor fathom.
It’s a Guarantee !
What is a guarantee? NOUN: A formal promise or assurance that certain conditions will be fulfilled, especially that a product will be repaired or replaced…..
Now for all intents and purposes let’s say once born you will die cause nothing last forever. So, the formal promise or assurance in this instance is once life becomes you and you are an entity of the living you can now take on the second part of the definition that certain conditions will be fulfilled. Those conditions in this instance being you will either live to a nice older age and then naturally go on to greener pastures as they say or you will meet what we call an untimely death by way of health, accident, killing of some kind. Ummm! Not so nice when you sum it up to those reality specs. So, in essence because everything lives, we know in the land of the living that everything dies, everything has an expiration date whether we can see it or agree with it or not is irrelevant and needless to speak about. A concept that just truly seems dormant when we look at it in its simplicity.
We should embrace it !
One might ask why, why take on such a daunting task. The answer would be simply put that if we study life and the progression of it, we know that having a baby is something that even if not planed for, once a woman gets pregnant she has a nine month incubation period where she is allowed to contemplate the situation a little further before she truly sticks with it and gives in to the idea and carries on with the birth process till point of birth. Though we know that there’re abortions, miscarriages and accidents that can happen which in no doubt would change the foresight but to most degree these are the relevant factors. So even with all this time and fashioning of what can be and even the help of some people along the way the mother or father or care givers are not always ready even then for everything. In this segment there are no incubation periods and truly no one to help because death is personal like giving life. Truly not affecting everyone the same, but by all means affecting everyone just the same, one to another in some form or fashion! To this we say will it bring a cure to all the heart ache and destroyed minds and spirits of people that it does effect? NO NOT AT ALL but it will allow the process of this life altering guaranteed natural process to be viewed on a level that will make process in this instance a thing that doesn’t have to hurt as bad and startle us as much. The functioning will still be allowed to function because they have been equipped with the necessary pieces to allow the mind and the heart to function. Think about it like this when a sport athlete works out and practices and trains his or her body for the task ahead, bottom line they will undoubtedly be in better condition to perform the task no matter how great the task ahead is. Then factor in the reality that if the athlete gets hurt by some misfortune their one over every one else is the fact that their body is more acceptable to regenerating much quicker with the odds being in their favor to have at least a 50% or greater probability of full recovery in most instances. All do to preparation. So we speak in this instance of DEATH that the sting doesn’t go anywhere, the lost doesn’t go anywhere, but the portion of mind and emotion can now find the person that is experiencing this Guaranteed tragedy in a place of BRACE. Yes Brace cause now when the wind blows you are anchored braced up against something that can take your emotions and say ok this was bound to happen don’t like the timing nor the way, I understand that this to is apart of life. Its an untimely piece of my day my night my week my month my year my LIFE. So the solace of comfort being that you don’t race through your mind and heart wondering what could I have done what could I have said. Cause the answer will always be NOTHING. NOTHING. NOTHING. And as long as you live or civilization exist the answer will be NOTHING. So I say to all who are blessed to come across this reading take it ponder it and in due season move into a place where you can go to your self your loved ones and begin the journey of understanding that this life isn’t meant nor was it ever meant to be forever, so in this truth sit down and expound on this coming unexpected event. So when times come cause they will the bounce back the hold on can come a little quicker a little more gentler than if there was never no preparation. And the UNWRITTEN REALITY would be they don’t have to fall apart all the way. They can actually maintain just a little bit more and isn’t that all we as human beings want when we do our hindsight being 20/20 conversation, that we wish we knew this or that or more.
We have the knowledge and gift of God to better relate release and relax more than any other generation of people before us. Conversation will always be ARE WE USING IT.
WE SHOULD HAVE MORE CONVERSATION ABOUT IT , BEYOND THE CONVERSATION OF JUST PREPERATION TO LEAVE.
This conversation if I had to give advice on the topic of preparation should to me start out with the general walk back through or down memory lane.
Memory lane to me when speaking about loved ones or just people or things that you loved in life or at time brings out the sincerity and conviction in ones story. You casually having a good morning afternoon or evening and reminiscing of things that brought you joy about a loved one in a since that allows the person or child to see the Love in your eyes. Conversations like these are usually what can be considered the ultimate set up if you would like to be frank. Being wise as a serpent in this event to make the individual or child want to know more about the person who brought you so much joy is the ultimate goal in this maneuver. To stay as natural as possible that the conversation can move from happiness of life to understanding of Death. So now having the curtain drawn back enough to expose the REALITIES of the joy and love but also the coping mechanisms of the pain and lost that can never be regained.
The approach to this endeavor is what will make this conversation possible and once in conversation mode everyone will see how beneficial it was and necessary it is in moving forward. Moving forward has a lot of different aspects to it always remembering Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! Perception at this point is your greatest enemy, it can reveal the picture that they want to see or it can reveal the picture that you want them to see but, remembering ultimately that it can indeed reveal the TRUTH. The TRUTH that we all have to leave here some day and in some way that isn’t common to the hour or day that the exodus takes place.
So from me to you I say welcome TO
DEATH THE UNWRITTEN REALITY…………
When will you start your conversation.
