Death
It can be argued that there is no death. That physical death is more like a shedding of skin. We know there's life after death because many people have experienced death and lived to tell about it. We know the body is just a vessel for the soul or consciousness because many people have and do experience their consciousness outside their body. This can happen in near death experiences, or through deep meditation or even psychedelic drugs.
There is even solid evidence that certainly some souls get to live more than one life. And it's looking more and more like all souls live many lives.
None the less, there is no doubt our bodies are secondary to our soul or consciousness. And while death will relieve us of our own physical pain and suffering it will not always relieve us of our emotional pain and suffering. It will also not relieve us of the "evils" in the world. We can kill the body but we cannot kill the soul that will quite possibly reincarnate to learn the same lessons it didn't learn in the last life.
Understanding Death Brings Meaning To Life
Realizing the reality of death is key to realizing the reality of life. Most of us make decisions that we do not believe will have any affect on us once we are dead, but thanks to the International Association of Near Death Experiences, (IANDS), and the University of Virginias Division of Perceptual Studies we can now be fairly certain our decisions in this life do have the possibility of affecting us after our death. That means our personal choices, especially the ones we make when we think no one is looking, are far more important than we thought for many reasons, but most notably, because the Earth we leave behind is the Earth we will inherit.
