Michael Speaks: THE ULTIMATE HICCUP or Truly Accepting Death
2017-10-01
Channeled by Troy Tolley in a live session at TLEGG 2017

 

Note from Janet: Hopefully readers of this transcript will be able to sense the general hilarity that participants experienced within this live session. Once Michael was past the introduction to the session, we were laughing most of the way through, and you'll see [laughter] repeatedly throughout the transcript. Troy kept listening in while in trance, and at times Michael had trouble getting info through his laughter. Please send thanks to @DanielaS for her transcription of this live session.

 

MEntity:
Bear with us as we come through, and hello to everybody.

 

Surprisingly, we are not asked very often to discuss the topic of Death. Part of the reason for this is because you are specifically designed to avoid Death. You are in a physical body that wants to live, wants to survive, wants to experience the Physical Plane in its form as a representative and extension of you, as a Consciousness. And so, the topic of Death is avoided by most at all cost, even if this is unconsciously avoided.

 

So, to bring up the topic to discuss can be difficult for some, especially those who may have had close calls with Death or experienced the Death of a loved one or has any sense of empathy or compassion for those who are in events that caused their Deaths, especially on a large scale. So, the sensitivity to Death is an important mechanism in your life, and in your body, that helps you navigate Life.

 

Another reason you tend to avoid questions about Death and the topic of Death, with us at least, is because surprisingly, again, it is one of the least significant events in your life. That is not to say that it is not significant, but it is of the least significant. A part of you, in particular as Old Souls, knows this and is not interested in discussing the end of your life or the end of another life but you are more interested in Life itself.

 

Each of you has died so many times that the Essence of who you are gets it. The body will never get it. Once it dies, it dies, and it does not comprehend that, and it is designed not to comprehend that. So, you will avoid the topic. You will avoid the experience if you can and if you will.

 

This is an example of the dance between what we have described as the Sacred and the Profane. The physical dense body in which you as Essence exist through is a part of you that you must honor on a regular basis in order to continue with your days.

 

While at the same time, having a perspective that is natural to you, especially as Old Souls, that GETS IT, that many of the things you struggle with in your life are temporary and insignificant and irrelevant to the greater arc of your existence. That dance is a very interesting and amazing friction that perpetuates a Life, the dance between the Sacred and the Profane.

 

So, what we will do today with you is have more of a discussion with you about how you feel about Death, your questions about Death, your concerns about Death, your fears about Death, anything that you would like to discuss about this experience.

 

But we suggest you do this while holding both the Sacred and the Profane in the same space. And by this we mean that you honor the truth, the necessity to avoid this topic while honoring the necessity for you to remember the beauty of this topic.

 

One way to approach this is to tap into the more morbid humor that is natural to the Old Soul, and approach Death as a comical event that occurs more than it is a tragic event. Because Death is the ultimate tragedy and comedy, and there is a very fine line between the two. And you as a meeting ground between the Sacred and the Profane have the capacity to shift between these two perspectives, the tragedy side and the comedy side.

 

It would be of interest to us to see where our students can find the comedy in the Deaths that have been experienced in the life, or the Deaths that you have experienced in the past, or the Deaths that you fear may be coming for you.

 

So, our first question to you would be, in particular for those who have experienced the Death of someone in your life: do you or can you find the comedy in this, the levity, the relief, the peace, the paradox, the humor, in this experience?

 

Asking you this question lets us understand where you are in your capacity to shift between perspectives. Because you will always see both of these perspectives, the tragedy and the comedy, but most of you are imprinted to emphasize the tragedy. Because in most cases it would be unnerving if you approached a funeral with a party hat and streamers and offered stand-up. It would be awkward. But that is not because it IS awkward. It is because of the climate that is imprinted within you around Death.

 

There is levity in Death. In fact, we find it quite hilarious in many cases. Not because of the suffering that is involved, but because of our witnessing your reunions after the life is over and the realization that you have not ended. You have not in any way ended. That realization is not only beautiful to us, but hilarious.

 

So, we ask our students here today, have you or can you describe, even if it means stretching yourself, the levity, the humor, the beauty on the other side of tragedy for a Death that you have experienced? We are looking for examples.

 

Martha: So, a dear friend and “ex” of mine committed suicide a few years ago. There was a month delay between the time he died and when his funeral was held. And his family had a lot to deal with so I basically planned a lot of it for them, and they wanted me to speak. And, so, I spent about a week writing. It was going to be a sad eulogy, right, I was writing all the little stories and vignettes, and I was practicing to try to get the right tone. And when it actually came to be the day of the funeral I stood up there and took a completely different tone and picked things and I did stand up, sort of. I told funny stories about him. Like, how he never cleaned his oven. You know, because I cleaned his house before we sold it for him and the oven was pristine. And so, I did stand-up. His brother, who had been sitting next to me before I got to speak after the funeral, said, I just thought that was going to be so rough but when you got up there and started speaking I knew it was all going to be OK.

 

MEntity: That is the kind of beauty that is attached to the yin and yang of Death, so to speak. It is the other side of tragedy, and that is a good example.

 

Ann: I got a few. I got a lot of dead people. I know this sounds terrible. My brother died of pancreatic cancer this last December. Here is somebody, this is going to sound so awful, but here's somebody who did so much for the environment, committed himself to this clean life. And he dies of this fucking pancreatic cancer. I know that sounds mean, but it's like, Oh my god. The irony still amazes me that he took such good care of himself and was such a steward of the planet and he gets laid low by this rampant, nasty disease. And I don't know how he feels about it, but there's a part of me, like, Oh my god, the irony still kills me. You know, it's just.... And also, the way my mother, my mother went out her way. She did it her way. And it was so much a part of who she was. It was sort of a really interesting honor to watch her in Discrimination slowly make her decision to work her way out of here, you know, through her choices.

 

BobbyA: I'm thinking specifically about a man by the name of Jason that I asked you about. He experienced a disruption at a club one night, and he and his female partner went home. And I think the police were called, and in an effort to avoid the police, there was a warrant out for his arrest, he went and sat out by the train tracks. And he was drunk. And instead of getting hit by the law, he got hit by the train.

 

MEntity: That is hilarious. [Laughter]

 

Brian: I'll add one. Geraldine is a great example. She knew that it was coming. We went to Seattle. For most of us to meet her for the first time. But at the same time, when we were doing the planning, one of the jokes was like, hey, let's have a pre-mortem eulogy. And so, it was basically making fun of all the nonsense. And I remember some channeling that Maureen and Bobby had done later on to find out, OK, what kind of happened on the other side. And apparently, she was very pissed that her first sighting of Essence was of her sitting in the wheelchair from Seattle. And she's like, what, that's it? And so, yeah, to me it was very beautiful to be able to see that. Obviously as Old Souls we kind of know, yes, it goes on, but to truly see that in action, and be able to see someone embracing Death, not just accepting it but even embracing it and having fun with it. And then even on the other side, that's it, I'm disappointed! I thought there was going to be more! So, that was a really good example for me.

 

Janet: After my parents' deaths, we didn't have funerals, we had memorial services. They were full of pictures and stories, especially the funny stories that we had on my parents. But I wanted to bring up that those Deaths we knew were coming with some advance notice. They were in a state of health and it was the time. We had some way to make some preparation. In Martha's case, that was totally unexpected. And so, I think there is a difference in how you might approach it and how you might be able to handle it based on whether you have advance warning or not.

 

MEntity:
Yes, the tragic will be involved. Regardless of the humor you can find in it. But it is important, the reason why we are discussing it from this angle is because it's important, as you come across those who will die or you approach your own Death, whether suddenly or known, you must remember to access the comedy, the humor, because this is how you allow the individual to continue on without an attachment or an anchor to the life that has been ended, so to speak.

 

The more one grieves, which is a natural process, but the more one grieves in a way that resists the humor, or the levity, or the understanding, the more you have anchored an individual to the life in a way that does have an effect on their Review. And we have discussed this in our delineation of the 7th Internal Monad, which we will not do here, as we have covered that in detail.

 

But the levity is not just for you to feel better about the Death, but about freeing up the energy that is another Essence and its Personality to continue forward. It does have an impact on the Review.

 

Are there other examples?

 

Tex: This is sort of an example and a question. My dad, who was age 96 when he died two years ago, had had multiple strokes at that time. I'd been in the hospital with him. And he's kind of an easy-going guy, never worries about anything. And I think that's why he didn't die until age 96. He would wake up from a stroke or whatever and just look around like it was totally amusing. Finally, he has a heart attack. He's out for several days, and he finally comes to and he looks around the room and goes, I'm not dead yet! [Laughter] And then two years later, bang, he dies. [Laughter] I can just see him on the other side going, I'm not dead yet! [Laughter] So the question is, did he actually do that on the other side when he died? I'm not dead yet!

 

MEntity:
We do not know. [Laughter] We would have to look.

 

We wish to differentiate between your bringing levity to the experience of Death and the attention that is necessary for processing the suffering of an individual that may lead to a Death, whether this be through sickness or mental illness or the overwhelming circumstances of a life that drives an individual to reduce choices to the point of leaving the life, exiting the life.

 

So, we are in no way implying or saying that one must diminish the appropriate response to the suffering of an individual. But the Death itself and the experience of this can be, at some point when you are ready, brought to a state of wholeness by finding the comedy to go along with the tragedy.

 

And knowing this is part of the process of understanding and bringing peace to your experience of Death, a peace that is often missed or not pointed out in most instructions for how to grieve. Eventually you must find the humor.

 

Do you have questions before we continue?

 

Daniela: I get it. I imagine that when I die I'll have a smile on my face. It will be funny. But my children. I just can't see humor [Laughs] in a child's Death. It just seems, like, different.

 

MEntity:
That is because it is not funny, at this point, and it is not something that you need to [Troy laughs] ponder as a hilarious event to occur. [Laughter] The point is if that were to happen, then it is important to find the humor in this.

 

You do not practice that understanding on anticipating the Deaths of those who are close to you. You practice this on those experiences that have already occurred. And that is important to understand so that you are not whimsically laughing at the possibility of a loved one's Death. But if a loved one has died, there will be a point where the humor may be necessary, and will likely be necessary, to bring to the equation.

 

You can practice on yourself, as you say, as you gave as an example, and that if fair game. But you do not have to practice on your children. [Laughter]

 

Daniela: But what's the humor in a child's Death? To me it just seems different than an adult's.

 

MEntity:
That would be something that individually you must find. It is not that the Death is humorous in itself. But that you will find the humor that is included in the reality of that Death, and much like Martha gave as an example, it is finding those memories that bring back the humor to the equation, not necessarily in extracting it from the Death itself.

 

Do you understand?

 

Daniela: Yes.

 

MEntity:
Those memories that elicit laughter and humor are vital to your peace around the Death of a loved one. One of the reasons for this is because, as you mature emotionally, you move away from Sentimentality, which is an attachment to a rigid way of remembering things or wanting things not to change, and move toward Nostalgia. This is an emotionally intelligent way of looking back at the past. Nostalgia extracts from all of the spectrum of experiences those things that bring the greatest movement forward, that add to your life in ways that are joyful and humorous.

 

So, that is one of the reasons why looking for humor and levity and memories of laughter is a way of moving into a more emotionally intelligent way of moving forward with the past, instead of staying rooted in the past with Sentimentality.

 

Cyprus: I have a question. Is Death kind of an overall statement? I mean, even not just talking about Death. But I love nostalgia and remembering the stuff that we've done in the past. Even things that were crazy and seemed horrible at the time, we now laugh at and joke about and enjoy in a different light.

 

MEntity:
Yes. This can be used in a broad way for the life. And it is one of the ways that you grow. Many of the things that you are doing in this life that bring suffering are things you will look back on and laugh about in the future, because you already do that now in your questions about past lives. What you [Troy laughs] have not quite grasped, and we understand why, is that you are already dead. [Laughter]

 

Your future lives are asking about you, and the irony is that [Troy laughs] nothing dies. [Laughter] So, while you are already dead and not yet dead and will never die, the concept of Death must be addressed.

 

In terms of the Personality, or rather the physical body, Death is quite profound. But in terms of the Essence and Personality, it is simply transformation, it is simply evolution. It is not an end. It is not Death in the way that most tend to treat it.

 

There is a persistence and continuation that each of you know is true. You do not have to trust us in telling you this. There is a part of you that knows this. But your body is not designed to remember this. It is not designed to know this. So, you will always have that struggle within you.

 

Nostalgia can help you to understand that if you can do this for your life and for those who have died in your life, it helps you to understand the beauty of your life in retrospect after Death.

 

And we ask you now, if you were to die today, can you find the Beauty and the Nostalgia, would you leave this life today knowing this was a life lived as best you could, and by “best you could” we mean by your standards, with your skills, at your pace, and not measured against some ambition or deadline set by a false premise.

 

Various responses: No. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

 

MEntity:
We promise there will not be Kool-Aid. [Laughter]

 

If you would like to, we can offer up the floor to get questions or to respond to questions about your individual Deaths, some of which you may find quite hilarious. If you— [Laughter]

 

Cyprus: The room goes crazy.

 

Martha: Everybody wants that, Michael.

 

MEntity: We will start with five. We will leave it up to those who are moderating to manage this.

 

Cyprus: We'll just take a nice smattering, OK? We'll start with Cong.

 

Cong: Can Michael just give me an example of my funniest Death in the past?

 

MEntity:
For each of these responses we may require a moment to find. [After a moment of silence, Troy starts to laugh.] [Laughter]

 

The [Troy laughs]—this is Troy laughing, not us—the lifetime that came up for us is a lifetime in which you were, we think, in the late 1700's. We may not provide all of the details so that we can get to more people, but you were very eager to get married and your dress got, in the frantic effort to get to a location in time to get married, because you thought you would die if you did not, because it was quite important to you and exciting, your dress got hooked into the wheel of the vehicle and you were pulled [Troy laughs] under [Laughter] and broke your neck [Laughter] and did not make it to the wedding. [Laughter]

 

Cong: Just out of curiosity, did you know who I was supposed to marry? And did they find this funny?

 

MEntity: At the time, no. [Laughter] The Mate Agreement at the time is not here, in this room.

 

Cyprus: Martha. You haven't been here in a long time. You deserve to go.

 

Martha: So, you did tell me about the funny Death of Geraldine and I where we were soldiers that laughed and got caught because we were laughing and got killed. So, that one I know already.

 

MEntity:
That was quite a good one. [Laughter]

 

We've [Troy laughs] found one in what looks like the late 1500's where you thought you could get by with defecating under a stage by slipping through a trap door, [Laughter] not knowing [Troy laughs]—we are having trouble keeping Troy from listening—the place burned down. [Laughter]

 

We suggest that each of you who receive these notes make a note so that we can elaborate upon these and put them properly in the sequence of lives that you may be exploring in more formal settings.

 

Martha: Did I cause the fire?

 

MEntity: No. Next.

 

Cyprus: Ann.

 

MEntity:
We will look.

 

We are looking.

 

This may not be as funny as the others, but we find it funny. The lifetime where you were running a type of apothecary store and thought you could make some good money switching out a remedy for a poison because someone was going to pay you well. And fell ill, feeling guilty, not realizing that you had given them a remedy and took the poison [Laughter] to feel better and killed yourself. [Laughter]

 

Cyprus: Kerrin.

 

MEntity: [Troy laughs] We think this will count. [Laughter] We are losing the capacity to relay details. But we can share the gist. It appears you had puffed up yourself in such a way as to take on the challenge of jousting knowing that you had never done it before. [Laughter] And in your attempts, you beheaded the one you were challenging, but were so freaked out by the impaling that you catapulted yourself off your horse and into some sort of impact that caused you to die. [Laughter] Everyone was quite confused. [Laughter]

 

Kerrin: Was there anyone here whose head I cut off?

 

MEntity: No.

 

Cyprus: Tex.

 

Tex: OK, I invented so many things in this life that nearly killed me, from motorcycles to jumping off a roof with umbrellas, you name it. I have got to make an invention out there that killed me.

 

MEntity: A few. [Laughter] One example that you thought would be helpful for a rough terrain were stilts with springs. [Laughter] That did not go well. [Laughter]

 

Cyprus: Are you OK to do more?

 

MEntity: We can take two more.

 

Cyprus: Brian.

 

MEntity:
We are looking.

 

This would have been in what might be described as the “Wild West” of America, and you had decided to take some journey by horse on your own, and someone convinced you to dress in the garb of the Native Americans as a form of disguise, which did not work. [Laughter] You were immediately seen as an offense and murdered. And what was funny was your yelling, “But my headdress.” [Laughter]

 

We know we cannot prove this, but we are not making these up. [Laughter]

 

We will take one more.

 

Cyprus: We haven't had an Artisan. We'll do Janet. I’m trying to get the other Roles. See if they are more entertaining.

 

MEntity:
They are all entertaining. [Laughter]

 

The one that comes up right now for us to most easily convey is an expedition of some sort, that took a lot of convincing to pull off for a group to trust in your navigational skills and knowledge to lead to what we can only describe as some sort of Mayan vault that required a large stone to roll out of the way. After so much journey to get there and in your excitement, the door rolled back [Laughter], and you did not survive that. [Laughter]

 

Cyprus: At least she got them there!

 

MEntity: That is exactly what you said. [Laughter]

 

Janet: I said, “I got you there?”

 

MEntity:
That is on record. [Laughter]

 

These are examples of how you will look at this life. You will look back and find the humor, even in your greatest struggles, because all of you will remain together. All of you will remain reuniting, one after another in your lifetimes, and finding each other again.

 

It does not end. We have not seen an end. And we have all reunited as an Entity and laugh at our [Troy laughs] past on a regular basis, though we do not have the bodies to do so such as Troy is experiencing now. But there is still laughter in the Causal Plane.

 

As the Old Soul learns rather quickly, some of the most amazing and beautiful and touching moments are in the most tragic. And this is something that you can keep in mind, even if it is an undercurrent in your struggles, is that you will find the beauty in that.

 

You do not have to find it in the moment. Because you must figure out whatever it is that you must figure out. But you can find it in those moments. You can find it in your struggle. You can find it in the suffering.

 

There will be a moment when you understand it differently. And that is all that matters in terms of getting peace around difficult experiences is understanding it differently. It does not mean that you will understand it completely, but you will understand it differently. And it is often more meaningful, useful, touching, than you might have guessed while in it.

 

And that is what we will leave you with in terms of your understanding Death, approaching Death, and looking back at it.

 

Cyprus: Before you go, could you just tell us one of your funniest ones?

 

MEntity: One of our own?

 

Cyprus: Yes.

 

MEntity:
We have a few to choose from. [Laughter]

 

One of our favorites was when a large part of our Entity were incarnated together as a crew on a ship. And we thought it would be a good idea to have some ladies join us [Laughter] and we all died from syphilis. [Laughter] But we had a good time. [Laughter]

 

Cyprus: Thank you.

 

MEntity: Good day to each of you and good-bye.

[Janet 17,863]

There were at least a couple of people attending this session that didn't understand the reference to Kool-Aid. This article explains it: Drinking the Kool-Aid.

[PPLD 12,097]

OMG, the examples are just hilarious! I'm lying in bed an LOLing so I'm crying ?

 

After reading this transcript, I also better understand what Michael told me when I asked if they had fun at the Gathering:

Quote

 

@MEntity

We experienced great pleasure, particularly in holding the entire student body of bodies in our energy as they laughed in unison with the channel.

 

Our experience was not much different from those in attendance, without the density of bodies.

 

 

Amazing session on a subject that never in neutral to discuss. 

 

Although this is logical, I have never put it so clearly to myself: I am already dead, and not yet dead, at the same time! I just love it! 

3 hours ago, Janet said:

Thank you so much for this amazing session Michael and Troy and @DanielaS - you are a star! Transcribing is a hard and very time-consuming task! It means a lot to be able to take part of the sessions so soon after the Gathering! Million thanks for making it possible! ? 

 

[DanielaS 9,522]

Thanks @PPLD!

 

I think what made this session so funny in live delivery is two things: the calm, deadpan way that Michael speaks through Troy, and the laughter that broke up the channeling and created beats for classic comic timing. For example:

 

"One of our favorites was when a large part of our Entity were incarnated together as a crew on a ship. And we thought it would be a good idea to have some [long pause here as Michael searches for the right word] ladies join us" [beat]

 

"and we all died from syphilis." [beat]

 

"But we had a good time."  [beat]

 

[Luciana Flora 11,384]

After reading this session and the other. I'm curious to know if my future will ask about me.

 

 

[Maxim [memorial profile] 4,877]

Lovely session... it surprised me because I was expecting more "technical details" of it all.   This deserves to be heard in the original recording.  I can see how much it unified the gathering.

 

I have been into the humor and paradox of dying for some time.  I had a vision once of in the after life having this kind of contest of who had created the  the worst experience for themselves for some kind of award, all for the appreciation of the irony.  In my case it helped me to balance the humor and the pathos that is real as well.  So no need to force the humor on those who are not ready.

 

I can see Tex taking a tumble on his spring loaded stilts.

That's comforting.

[KurtisM 15,230]

Ok but the point about us already being dead and not at the same time-

That's some serious schrodinger's cat if I've ever heard it! XD

Time for some more story ideas! Heh.

 

Memento mori, am I right.

Or maybe Memento no mori.

[Sam K 3,610]

The thought of my own death has never really bothered me much; I'm obviously not going anywhere, and the elements of me that make up my current personality aren't going anywhere.  The only thing I'm really losing is a body, and I figure I can always manifest this body again in the Astral if I feel like it. 

The thought of those close to me dying does sometimes trouble me, though. Not because I think they're actually GONE in an existential sense, of course, but simply because I know it will likely be awhile (from my perspective within physical time and blah blah blah) before I'll get to see them again.  Plus, if someone I'm close to has died,  I most likely also have other loved ones who are grieving the death as well, and loved ones being sad is, er, sad.

Very succintly put @KurtisM , considering the topic ?

 

A propos memento mori; remembered when I started at my current work and we had some team building. One of the parts of each and one's presentation was sharing a favourite inspirational quote...

You see where this is going, right?

After all the rainbows and unicorns Patzy dropped the bomb, also in translation, just incase someone's Latin was weak that day...

 

They were just staring at me, and I said that memonto mori, is an introvert's carpe diem, but in truth it is the Old Soul's carpe diem. ?

[Gavin 472]

Wish I were there. Love a laugh like this.

 

One thing I have often said to people is - life is like the sexual act and death the the explosive release.

 

I don't often get laughs for it though

?

[Mari Lynn 534]

Oh I soooo very much enjoyed this session, LOL alot while reading, esp picturing Tex jumping off of roofs with umbrellas in THIS life, oh the hilarity in picturing this! And the stilts...oh my!!!?

 

I recalled my own father's dying process, and a few days before he actually died, my 3 siblings and I were all gathered at his home, for the *death watch*, so to speak. Well, my Dad and all of us kids have a lively sense of humor,  so to sit around his bed and laugh at things didn't feel unusual....at least not to my brother and oldest sister (we are the bawdiest!). However, my other sis thought it just appalling that we dared LAUGH at such a morose, maudlin (Dad's fave word) and SERIOUS time.  Oh, she got sooo pissed at us for laughing and her being the dutiful server daughter wanting to control events, she wouldn't join in or even talk to us!  The irony was, in her efforts at needing/wanting to do "something", she opted to furiously do her online gambling on her laptop, in another room!  As gambling had been a major pastime for my Dad's brothers and he never partook, (and he had some judgements about) the irony of what Karen was doing instead of being with us and Dad was not lost on us.  

In thinking back to this, another LOL moment comes up.  

What a wonderful and yes, HILARIOUS session this was, *just* in reading here @ home...I can imagine the experience LIVE.  

My question is, I wonder if anyone had an immediate need for a change in lower body underclothing after such a session....thought I'd close with that, haha!

[Wendy 4,075]

@Gavin I'm not finding life half as fun or interesting as the sexual act for some time now.  But what you say is funny.

[Jean Hamill 682]

Thanks Daniela and Troy for a great session.

@Gavin I'm not finding life half as fun or interesting as the sexual act for some time now.

Look at it this way @Wendy

Some sex can be hard work. Some sex ain't fun. I'm sure many women, specifically, could attest to that.

Some of it is slow and relaxing, some frenzied and energetic etc etc etc. If you add all of this and all the possible etc's you can see that life as a whole would cover it.

 

?

[NicholasV 559]

Take someone who believes that work is the most important thing in the world. So he goes home and kills himself because work is so important. I think that's hilarious that's really funny.

I think some things in life are serious although possibly not death.

One thing I have often said to people is - life is like the sexual act and death the the explosive release.

 

I don't often get laughs for it though

 

It works for me.  I've read accounts that liken the release from the body as ecstatic.  Yes, as you've expanded (above) life can be like sex... some friction that is pleasant and exciting and some not quite there.  The whole gamut.  And don't forget that sometimes faces in sexual arousal can look like they are a breath away from death.

 

"I'm not dying, I'm just about to climax!"

some climaxes are wonderful, others are more like... well, right...what's next.  Mind if a take a little nap?

Many of the things that you are doing in this life that bring suffering are things you will look back on and laugh about in the future, because you already do that now in your questions about past lives. What you [Troy laughs] have not quite grasped, and we understand why, is that you are already dead. [Laughter]

 

Your future lives are asking about you, and the irony is that [Troy laughs] nothing dies. [Laughter] So, while you are already dead and not yet dead and will never die, the concept of Death must be addressed

 

”You are already dead.....future lives are asking about you”......Love This....how amazing.....started laughing already....

Oh yes, this was great and useful and funny. I had seen the title before but never knew what the session was about. A must read!

Wish I had seen this sooner.

My cousin who was the same age as me passed away last week from methanol poisoning. 

I didn't know him but my mom did and she's grieving.

Funerals always make me feel bad as I hate crying, and I was sitting there thinking if I were in his shoes I would go to these crying people's dreams and make them laugh. Every night.

In my mind it seemed like the best option to alleviate their grief.

 

My mom said that his sister was walking around like a 'crazy' person reminiscing their past and laughing at their memories together. I thought, now isn't that a more healthy approach?

 

Now I know it is

I only have one "funny" death in my family. For the most part, we are a long-lived bunch; my parents, their siblings, and their mothers were almost all in their 80s or older when they passed. The few that died younger died of cancer; my Dad's younger sister beat breast cancer twice before leukemia finally took her, and come to think of it, she was 80 as well.

But I have one nephew whose death triggers irony. The kid was kind of a health nut. He became a vegetarian when it wasn't yet common, may even have been vegan. He ran as much for fun as for exercise. He scaled tall buildings - he had a window-washing business in Las Vegas. And one morning about 7 months before his 30th birthday, he came home from a run, kicked off his shoes inside his front door - and dropped dead before he reached his bedroom to shower and change. The police tried to tell my brother that his son had died of a drug overdose, which was ridiculous. He had to file a lawsuit to get them to do an autopsy and correct the "cause of death," which it turned out that he had an undiagnosed heart defect.

I don't laugh about it. It's sad that he died so young. At the same time, it's so ironic that my "health nut" nephew died after and possibly as a result of doing one of the things that kept him so healthy. We miss him, but we have a dozen family stories about some of the crazy things he did. The love is still very much there.
